THE WEATHER
Oregon, Washington and Idaho
. Cloudy with probably showers.
A HEARTY "WIRELESS."
The City of Astoria to the Officers
of the Line and Staff, and the Men of
the Atlantic Fleet, Off the Columbia
River: Greeting!.
We are infinitely proud of the great
ships you are commanding, serving
and manning, and of the country to
whose honor and glory you are de
voted. We wish conditions had been
such that you might have entered the
Columbia and this splendid harbor,
lingered here for the best expression
of our pride and hospitality we could
have given you; and then ascended the
river to the Oregon metropolis for the
.further and ampler testimony of the
same feeling that exists there. Had
this been possible, and consummated,
we would have seen you pass on o
the Sound cities with even greater
good will than we watch your pas
sage now.
As it is, we wish you to know that
we are an all-American populace here
and know a good thing when we see
it, if it is a long way off; and we feel
that you are ours, Astoria's, just as
much as you are the nation's; that
when your magnificent faculties and
equipment shall be engaged in what
ever of contest shall arise, it will be
for us and ours as for all others in
this superb land; that what of open,
cordial, generous reception and greet
ing shall be given you, or has been
showered upon you, the good people
of this great valley will "second the
motion." and have, all along the
line.
We wish you God-speed on every
mile of the ereat iourney ahead of
you. We shall never be out of touch
with you for an instant, and shall
gladly acclaim every mark of distinc
tion and success that falls across
your earth-girdling path; and when
you shall enter home-waters again,
3000 miles away from Astoria, our
greeting, grateful, commending, pride
ful and deep will be there ready for the
recognition which our deep fellow
ship and citizenship shall waken in
your home-coming hearts.
THE PEOPLE OF ASTORIA.
when and how to do it.
The lambs have been sheared to the
bone and are now "butting m on
their own account, and that is the
reason, we take it, that politics down
this way, are "merely simmering."
THE DAY OF BILLIONS.
The present Congress has voted
one thousand and twenty-six millions
of dollars tor the new fiscal year and
had to prune a whole lot of demands
in the doing of it. We are a billion
dollar country in a billion dollar day
and have chucked our swaddling
clothes for good. It sounds terrific
of course, to the poor little remote
citizen who has to sweat blood for
the paltry income that does not
reach half way round his wants and
needs; but it is one of the essential
of an expanding, progressive nation
and if it be but honestly spent, there
will be no complaint; and another year
of Theodore Roosevelt may leave tis
the assurance that it is being prop
erlv and safely expended. Uf one
thing we may be certain, he has not
signed a single appropriation that
could be dispensed with in honor and
prudence. We have grown to the
new limns mat are set Dy time, ana
it will not be so irksome in the days
to come when we have attained to the
supremacy we are entitled to. Mean
while the great fleet which consti
tutes one of the prime items of this
enormous bill of exepnse, is just out
side and we muts ask to be excused.
EDITORIAL SALAD ;
In Kentucky a citizen is commonly
addressed as "Colonel"; in Arkansas,
as governor.
The jingoes have experienced a sad
blow. An arbitration treaty has just
been signed between the United
States and Japan.
Our polite friends, the Japanese, are
well pelased with the honorable ar
bitration treaty just signed with
Uncle Sam.
V MERELY SIMMERING.
Politics in old Clatsop are merely
simmering.
There is a remarkable dearth of in
terest in the coming election here
compared with past campaigns; that
. r tc ii
is, on tne suriace. ii one scraicnes
about a bit one discovers there is a
quiet concern and lively intelligence
in regard to candidates and measures
that is really gratifying; and the con
clusion is justifiable that the people
are doing far more thinking than talk
ing, always the better part of wisdom.
It is time the country was doing its
own thinking and turning down the
false lure of the "boss," the "fakir,"
the "spell-binder" and all other self
serving instrumentalities of the old
time regulation campaign; the people
have been cajoled to the limit and
have wakened to the imposition, and it
is well, and will be better so long as
they keep their own counsel and do
their own voting.
The man who thinks it out and ap
plies his own tests of value has the
bulge on the man who has to be told
"what's what" and on the man who
tells the man, as well; and the re'sults
are likely to be larger and healthier
for thinker and non-thinker. It is
simply another way of educating our
Belves to our own responsibilities and
Governors from the west side of
the Mississippi are qualified to do all
the practical talking on the subject of
irrigation and national forest reserves,
ine mm value ot lumber cut in
the United States last year was $621,
000,000. Before bragging about it, the
size of the hole it left should be es
timated.
Three or four buried cities have
been found in Texas. A larger num
ber can be noticed along the Ohio,
where the fifth flood of the season is
just running out.
One of the perquisites of statesman
ship in Washington is the morning
call on the president by senators and
representatives piloting visitors from
their home towns.
On May 1 the condition of winter
wheat in the United States was nearly
per cent better than on the same
date a year ago. This is the prosper
ity talk that tells.
Another satellite of Jupiter has
been discovered, which makes eight.
Some of the old farmers think that
planting potatoes on Jupiter must be
a complicated problem.
Biliousness and Constipation.
For years I was troubled with bil
iousness and constipation, which made
life miserable for me. My appetite
failed me. I lost my usual force and
vitality. Pepsin preparations and
cathartics only made matters worse.
I do not know where I should have
been today had I not tried Chamber
lain's Stomach and Liver Tablets.
The tablets relieve the ill feeling at
once, strengthen the digestive func
tions, purify the stomach, liver and
blood, helping the system to do its
work naturally. -Mrs. Rosa Potts,
Birmingham, Ala. These tablets are
for sale by Frank Hart and Leading
Druggists.
