THE
STUMPAGE
PROBLEM.
The presence, "and quest, of L. F.
Hawley, Ph. D., of the forestry service
of the federal Department of Agricul
ture, in Astoria, is of vital and entic
ing concern to the people of the
Northwest and especially of this sec
tion He comes to ascertain, by scien
tific research, the exact qualities and
quantities of commercial by-products
contained in the stumpage woods of
the west and to arrange, through the
Chambers of Commerce of the land,
for their marketing.
It has been demonstrated in the
Middle West that the forest stumps
are of exact and appreciable value for
their by-products reduced to useable
form of chemical processes, and the
doctor is simply extending his pro
fessional inquiries to the vast fields of
the Pacific Coast clearings. He is a
welcome visitor, and the further he
goes and the more he demonstrates,
the wider and deeper will be his wel
come. The idea of bringing the stump
lands of the Northwest within the
range of feasible clearance and actual
value in a commercial way, will solve
one of the oldest and profoundest
problems of the district; and when it
is known that it can be done, at prac
tically no cost to the owner, or at a
small bonus at most, it will sink in
to the quickened consciousness of the
Northwestern timberman and farmer
and react to their enhanced education
and fiduciary uplift in notable fashion.
Every encouragement should be lent
to this officer and his pursuit, and we
hope to see the matter focussed to the
point where the last man in interest
shall be drawn into the enterprise
voluntarily and with that degree of
success that shall put the now burd
ened and profitless lands of the terri
tory in such shape that they may be
used for agriculture without the heart
breaking and life-wearing alternative
of hand-clearance.
When Dr. Hawley shall call a con
vention in this behalf, it will be round
ly attended, when and wheresoever it
may be held.

But keep both '
eyes wme opem
Many thousand people have winked at the grocer
during the past ten days. In response they have re
ceived a generous sample of Kellogg's Toasted Corn
Flakes. And they were delighted. It gave them an
idea of how delicious a breakfast food could be.
Over 1 00 men were engaged to issue the invitations
and see that all grocers were supplied with "wink
ammunition. 8
The result was a most phenomenal demand for the new
breakfast food. We venture to say that fully one
half the people of the city had Kellogg's Toasted
Corn Flakes for breakfast this morning. And most
of them will continue to enjoy it for breakfast.
But every great success has imitators.
The real purpose of this advertising campaign
is to guard you against substitution; we want to im-

familiarize you with the package and signature of
rtftfdfyp and thoroughly acquaint you with i
delicious flavor of the genuine Kellogg's Toas
Corn Flakes.
For they may imitate the box they may copy
name, but they cannot copy the Flavor.
It's the flavor that won its favor. It will win ;
favor and it will hold it. So when you want the

DO THE RIGHT THING,
RIGHTLY!.
We desire it to be understood of all
men that the Morning Astorian is no
stumbling-block to civic enterprise
norto quasi-public, or private ven
tures of any sort, so long as the
right thing is done, rightly, at all
points where the public interest
touches or hovers. We have no wish
to impede anything that makes for
expansion and prosperity; but we pro
pose to urge the best and safest rules
of action in every instance where the
municipal and county franchises and
privileges are sought.
The day has come when the reck
less and uncompensated gift of public
easement and high-privilege has be
come an unpardonable offense; the
people are becoming jealous of their
rights and their property and know
the real value of their franchises;
they are tired of being throttled by
the men who have grown rich off the
generous and thoughtless extrava
gance that moved the public trustees
in the past to give away the very fun
dament of the corporate fortunes of
the land; they are harking back to
first principles and demanding tangi
ble and measureable compensation on
all sides; and the council or commis
sion that fails to secure this indemni
fication, fails in its office and duty, and
will certainly hear of it.
The action of the ways and means
committee of the Astoria council in
amending the gas main franchise
sought by the Astoria Fuel Company
so as to fix the reversionary right of
the people, for their proper compen
sation for the gift, and

rational limitations on its operation, is
to be commended to its last detail;
and it is hoped the policy of precau
tion will prevail, unvaryingly, through
out the future, in the handling of the
peoples' vested and valuable proper
ties. We would deny the Astoria
Fuel Company nothing. But we pro
pose that it and all other beneficiaries
of this public, shall realize their obli
gations to the people; since the obli
gations are not all of one origin in
cases of ths kind.
EXIT, EVANS?. NEVER!.
The rules of the naval service may
retire Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans
from active service, but no law of
man can retire him from the hearts of
his American fellows!. His place there
is immutable!.
He goes to the quieter field of
official life from the very apex of his
popularity, and at the close of one of
the most masterly professional
achievements of his career and day.
From the hour the nation first heard
of him down in Valparaiso Bay, with
the spunky little Yorktown, defying
the fleets and forts of Chili in defense
of the honor and safety of the Ameri
can consulate to the hour of yesterday
when he resigned his superb com
mand to his friend, Rear Admiral
Thomas, this man has been installed
in the national consciousness as one
of its best and truest types; courage
ous, wise, dependable, loyal, with the
fierce frankness of the warrior and the
perfect poise of the cultured repre
sentative of his country, the sane and
indomitable American officer and
gentleman!!
And he who thinks he has heard the
last of this man, will do well to bide
the future with an ear to the ground
establishing. that borders upon the high-seas!.

The Money market now is talking
of an "enormous oversubscription."
This term was supposed to have drop

Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other disease, for
the reason that it is the most common
of all ills, and it is certainly gratifying
to sufferers to know that Chamber
lain's Pain Balm will afford relief, and
make rest and sleep possible. In many
cases the relief from pain, which is at
first temporary, has become perma
nent, while in old people subject to
chronic rheumatism, often brought on
by dampness or changes in th
weather, a permanent cure cannot be
expected; the relief , from pain which
this liniment affords is alone worth
many time its cost. 25 and 50 cent
sizes for sale by Frank Hart and
