TWO MORE TO COME.
Astoria has two more important
electoral periods to face during the
coming year. In November and De
cember her people must go to the
polls and do that which means the
most to the nation, and to the city,
respectively.
The last of the engagements is to
be of very grave concern to the citi
zens of Astoria and it is none too
early to begin thinking out the
municipal problems that are to con
front her both as to men and laws,
and their bearing on the future of the
place. Yesterday's election will have
a tendency to inspire thoughts and
plans and hopes that are new and in
seperable from the issues of the two
events to come. All elections have
definite relation to those that follow;
and the year, with its course of elec
tions, is to signify much for the good
or ill of Astoria, as her voters shall
determine.
gifts and gratuities of climate, but she
has them in store and Astoria will get
her share, warm, brilliant, revivifying,
glorious; and we shall all immediate
ly forget the gloom of cloud and rain
as they vanish. It's a way we have
down here!.
EDITORIAL SALAD
The perfidy of woman has had an
other illustration in the case of Mrs.
Gunness, who was false even to her
teeth.
Everybody should bear in mind that
the fewer the number of the unem
ployed, the better the basis for pros
perity talk.
Senator Bob Taylor has made his
maiden speech in the Senate. As it
contained nothing new it was also his
old maiden speech.
WANTED: A HOLIDAY!.
Astoria wants another holiday be
fore the summer wanes. If the re
gatta is to be called off this year, then
it is essential that we make the most
of the "Fourth." One, or the other,
must be indulged; because Astoria is
a pleasure loving community and
needs the relaxation of an occasional
festivity.
We believe both should be observ
ed; but if either is given preference,
then we vote the regatta because it
is peculiarly Astorian and means
more to the city that the Fourth of
July. The "Fourth" is an ail-American
day that will be observed in some way
by every man in the country, whether
at home or abroad; there is no deny
ing its call to the popular heart and
interest; and there will be no lack of
resources near-by or at a distance,
to which our people can turn to in
dulge the spirit of that hour. But
the regatta, with its long history of
genuine success and its Astoria tang
and snap and local significance, ap
peals more strongly, and in wider
ways, to the holiday temperament of
city and county.
The inventor of the telephone says
the problem of air navigation has
been solved. If Edison will bring out
the promised cheap runabout storage
machine the summer will pass trippingly.
A London lecturer asserts that
trees grow in the coldest parts of
Siberia and will be found at the
North Pole. Now it is clear why the
movement to reach the pole con
tinues. The sawmill men are in it.
It is estimated that forty years
hence this country will have a popti
lation of 200,000,000 and several cities
of from 2,000,000 to 10,000,000 each
As St. Louis has already reached the
fourth place the Million Club will
have to step lively to keep up with
the procession.
SUMMER IS HERE.
By virtue of calendar date and the
traditions and experiences of the
years, Astoria's summer is here; the
most beautiful season in the world
anywhere. We are telling of its
presence, because it might not be sus
pected else.
It is cold enough, cloudy enough,
forbidding enough, to gainsay our
declaration utterly; but we are stick
ing to it on the authority of the
almanac and if there comes the genial
change and the old-time charms of
sunshine and warmth, we shall be in
our usual position to say "we told
you so!".
The first day of June was, so far
as Oregon is concerned, and in spite
of all adverse climatic conditions,
given over to rain, roses and votes.
There are but few roses throughout
the land, but those that are in evi
dence are taking on the amplified
worship of people because of the
famine of them; the votes were more
numerous, and yet in many a case
there were far too few of them, and
in other instances far too many; as
for the rain, that was abundant,
quantity and quality considered, be
cuse such consideration as was given
it, precluded all wish for it in either
estimate.
But, there are superb days ahead;
and the comfort is always with us,
that good or bad, no "combine" is, as
yet, in control of the weather. Na
ture may be a bit obsessed in favor
of the winds and rains wherewith she
is glutted and which she must dis
pense before she can unfold the other i
The Republican vote in Missouri
was 304,000 in 1896, 314,000 in 1900
and 321,000 in 1904. Why should
Republicans be backward about claim
ing the state in 1908, since their vote
has been growing and that of the
Democrats declining?
SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA.
Itching, Burning Skin Diseases Rout
ed Without Use of Injurious Drugs.
Great inventors often have been
praised for surrendering the secrets
of their discoveries. Practically the
same thing happened in the medical
world in the case of Dr. Decatur D.
Dennis, the eminent skin specialist of
Chicago.
Dr. Dennis, in his own office prac
tice, discovered that pure vegetable
oil wintergreen, properly mixed with
other simple remedies was practically
a sr"" specific for Eczema, psoriasis,
bather's itch, salt rheum, and other
itching skin diseases. But the oil of
wintergreen alone was found ineffec
tive. It required other mild ingred
ients such as glycerine and thymol
compounded with the wintergreen, to
produce the real eczema cure.
This compounded D. D. D. Pre
scription positively takes away the
itch at oncethe instant it is applied
to the skin. This vegetable liquid
does away with deleterious drugs so
long used in an attempt to doctor the
blood, whereas modern science has
determined that eczema is first and
all the time a skin disease.
If you want to know more about
the merits of D. D. D. Prescription,
call at our store. We vouch for this
remedy. Charles Rogers & Son.

Appeal Being Made by the National
Rifle Association to Its Life Mem
bera and Patriotic Americans, For
Funds to Defray Team's Expenses.
WASHINGTON, D. C. June l.
Arrangements for the entries of the
ritlc and revolver teams in the Olym
pic games arc proceeding satisfactor
ily. An appeal has been made by the
National Ride Association to its life
members and to other patriotic Amer
icans for funds to defray the expenses
of the rifle team. Secretary Albert
S. Jones, of Washington, D. C. is re
ceiving the subscriptions. During the
first week in June there will be ex
haustive tests of ammunition made by
the leading ammunition companies for
the New Springfield rifle, either on
the District of Columbia Range or at
Annapolis. The following week the
competition for places on the team
will be held at Camp Terry with about
thirty of the best shots in the United
States as competitors. The result
will be announced June 13 and the
entries cabled at once to London.
The National Rifle Association has
received the application of the rifle
club of the University of Idaho, at
Moscow, Idaho, for enrollment among
the college clubs affilliated with the
N. R. A. It is probable the project
of an inter-collegiate shoot next
month will be abandoned as there are
not sufficient entries to justify the
same. Meanwhile the beautiful col
lege trophy remains in the custody of
the N. R. A. Other recent affilia
tions are from the Southern Califor
nia Rifle Association, of Los Angeles;
Governor's Troop, of llarrisburg Pa.,
and the Denver Rifle Club Associa
tion. New prices for ammunition fur
nished by the government to the na
tional guard and government rifle
clubs, through the N. R. A., have been
established as follows: Model of 1896,
Ball cartridges, $31.90, Blank, $20.25;
Dummy, $23.00; Guard, $24.00; Gal
lery practice .22 cal. , $2.05. For
Model 1908 (Krag) Ball cartridges
$29.75; Blank, $18.00 Dummy $22.00;
Guard $19.00; Gallery practice, .30
cal., $15.25. Ammunition will here
after be packed in 1,200 round lots
and should be ordered in multiples.
The prices for 1906 ammunition in
clude clips, bandoleers and zinc-lined
cases.
A manual on mortars lias been re
cently prepared by Capt Mervyn C.
Buckcy, District Artillery F.ngineer
for the Artillery District of I'ugct
Sound, which will be especially valu
able to the troops which will partici
pate this summer in joint maneuvers
with the Coast Artillery Corps. The
subject of mortars is very little known
outside the coast artillery service yet,
is one of the most fascinating forms
of artillery practice. The manual is
also adopted to the instruction of
artillerymen in all branches of the
service ami contains, among other
features a complete description of
powders, shells, mortars, and all the
parts and appliances in connection
therewith. An especially important
chapter deals with the new magazine
rifle known as the Model of 1903 with
which the army and national guard
will be armed this summer. In it is
a brief but comprehensive description
of all the component parts of the
rifle and their uses, the various car
tridges and some simple and valuable
hints on shooting and the care of the
rifle. The state of New York has
placed a number of these manuals in
the hands of officers whose organiza
tions will participate in tthe maneu
vers around the forts.
The South Dakota National Guard
troop range is being used by the
regular troops from Fort Crook. Neb,
The range has been put in first-class
shape, permitting firing from 200 to
1,000 yards. A water works system
has been installed, new targets have
been added and the range generally
unproved.
The nervous strain through which
dressmakers hava to m$ at certain
seasons of the year seems almost be
yond endurance, and froquontly
brings on nervous prostration, faint
ing spoils, dizziness, sleeplessness
and a general breaking down of the
feminine system, until life seems
altogether miserable.
For all overworked women there
is one tried and truo remedy.

WASHINGTON, D. C. , June 1.-
In view of the positive denial by the i f
Telepost Company that it is necking
to sell out its rapid automatic tele
graph system to the government,
there is no little interest in the
search for reasons for the installat
ion of the Telepost apparatus in the
rooms of the House Committee on
Post Offices and Post Roads. The
machines are under inspection con
stantly not only by members of the
committee, but by congressmen and
senators in general and visitors to
the Capitol.
It was originally stated that the
exhibit of this system in working op
eration, sending and receiving at the
rate of 1000 words a minute, was plac
ed on view for the purpose of show
nig what could be accomplished by
automatic telegraphy should it be de
termined to carry out government ex
periments looking to the establish
ment of a national telegraph system
as a part of the postal service.
It is now suggested in responsible
quarters that the government may aid
in the establishment of the Telepost
system with a view to building up a
better and cheaper telegraph service.
While a government telegraph has
some strong advocates in Congress,
the majority of opinion here is in
favor of leaving the improvement of
wire service to private enterprise.
Meanwhile the Telepost Company
is going ahead with tthe building of
its lines, and seems prepared to put
its service in operation with a flat
rate of 25 words for 25 cents without
regard to distance, whether or not it
receives aid from Congress.
