TROUBLE,
We all have trouble; even the City
of Astoria has hers. But happily for
humanity, they come and go and
change and shift, but rarely linger

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. Swap troubles, and they dis
appear! ;

SALEM, NEXT MONTH.
REGATTA WEEK.
. 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.

much headway until after the tariff
question shall have been permanently
disposed of and this contingency
places it far into the future.
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. -
