But happily for humanity, they come and go and change and shift, but rarely linger They bring their exactions and leave .11 .v. and r wn,) tnW9rH it in eir lessons, ami we are vor snouiu j -- breathless expectancy, to hear and know what a modern lord of railway history and high finance, intends to do next Mr. Harriman, in his remote re tirement has summoned his under lord and servants into conference and they traveled to him, in such wise as they could get there (minus a railway), including the Governor of a great State, and the people at large are agape to hear the first word and see the first sign that shall come out of the wilderness. Oregonians, everywhere, are hop ing, almost against hope, that the prophetic signal of progress, as typi fied by railway building, will be the keynote of the message thence; even little old Astoria, away up here on the opposite tangent has her cheer ful expectation and will be as glad as any to realize upon it. We do not know why we are hoping; there is no especial cause for it, since what we may deem to be of profit and advant age to Mr. Harriman, may be utterly valueless to him, and the closing of the gap on the "Lytle" road between this city and Portland may be im measureably beyond his august . (no joke here) calculations- But power ful, autocratic, aloof as he is, E. H. cannot keep us from indulging our day-dreams; the very humblest slave in his far and near dominions, enjoys that inalienable blessing, howsoever often, and rudely, they are smashed and scattered. PROTECTION AND REVISION. Mr. Bryan's Des Moines speech on tariff revision has but little to com mend it to popular notice. It has no significance, suggests nothing, prom ises nothing, that has not been heard for months from almost, any old source, including the White House. The situation, so far as it has devel oped from either side, holds but one poor assurance, that the question is likely to be dignified to an open issue before the campaign closes, and may become, as it should, the commanding subject of national controversy and concern. It may force itself to the front as a cardinal matter by the time Mesrs. Taft and Bryan have done fencing with it; but so far, it is a mere sug gestion, without a single solid prom ise having been laid for its german discussion and settlement. be), the better for them. The only exception to the rule of trouble that we know of is a Regatta Committee and its exemption is accounted for on the score of plenty of people to take it off their shoulders; happy commit' teemen! Speaking of trouble, it is always a safe rule to hunt up a friend who is similarly beset and pour your lugu brious tale into his amenable ear and bask in the ready flow of his kindly sympathy and interest; but if he seeks to balance tjje troublous poise by rehearsing his little story, gently turn it down, deprecate it, and gradually slide out of earshot; be cause if you stay to listen you will be forced to the conclusion that your troubles do not exist, "or are as mere fanciful megrims and of no conse quence.

This perfect Sunday morning inau gurates the fourteenth regatta week in Astoria's long and pleasant his tory in this relation; and it dawns upon a well organized groupe of peo ple and systems of entertainment as ever yet preceded the jolly season. Everybody is earnestly . at work to make the "fourteenth" the banner Re gatta of them all and there is no rea son whatever to evoke a dubious thought of the progress or the out come. The. rank, from her majesty, the Queen, down through the court and staff of Admirals, officers and com misions in charge, to the humblest cheerful citizen among us people of the "files," are united in a common, loyal purpose to "do ourselves proud" this year, and by the dawn of Thursr day, there will be in readiness a vast array of pleasant things and events covering the three days of the festi val that will wholly compensate the visitor from afar or from neighborly distances. All that will be needed to In one respect at least Oregon takes the lead among western states. This is in the holding of her annual statd fair, which in size and importance is first among expositions held on the Pacific slope. The state fair, which has beconn the big event of the year for the peo ple of Oregon; will take place this year at Salem from September 14 to 19. At the fair grounds the work oi preparation has long since been under way, and it is expected that ajl will be in readiness for the throwing open of the gates which will mark the opening of the most successful fair in the 50-odd years of its existence. In the past two years the state has expended large sums of money on the improvement of the exposition grounds. In 1907 12 large modern show barns were erected, giving Oregon's fair the finest equipment for the display of livestock in the west. - Ten thousand dollars are offered on livestock, agricultural and manu factured products. Eight counties will provide extensive exhibits. Almost every industry will be represented. The livestock show will be unequal ed, the agricultural exhibits will be wonderful, and the art department, the floral display, the dairy, poultry and machinery exhibits will all de mand the interest of the thousands of spectators who will come from, all parts of the northwest to see the fair. The entertainment of the crowds will not be neglected. The races will be the fastest ever seen on the coast. Two $5000 purses and six $1000 purses will draw the tiest blooded horses in the country, and that there will be records lowered when they meet is- conceded. In addition, many special features - and free acts will be provided, and there will be the "Corrall," with its side shows, its stands and pleasure- seeking crowds, all combined to con tribute to the enjoyment and variety of the big exposition. Another feature is the city of tents. Hundreds of families journey to the fair every year to enjoy he camp lief in the grove, where every modern convenience is at hand, to gether with a week's outing and the sights of the fair.. There are likewise two ways of selling them high priced and reasonable. Our clothes are sold reasonable. If you are going to buy a suit remember we sell Fechhemer Fishel Co.'s EFF-EFF and I. & S. B. clothes, and in them you get a suit that is made right for the same price as a common one.

Senator Foraker is relied upon to swing the colored vote of Ohio to Col. Bryan's party. In most of the Southern States the Democrats ar. content to swing the colored voter in preference to his vote. Tom Watson says if he gets the electoral vote of Georgia he' will throw it to Bryan if it would defeat Taft. Now let Mr. Watson sav what sort of a bargain he would drive in return for this decisive lift. If the Missouri Democrats had a candidate for governor equal to Had ley they would not be plunged in their present muddled quadrilateral contest for the nomination. - The rest movement will never make CHURCHES - SUNDAY First Methodist The pulpit will be supplied by Mr. A.
