UP TO OUR PEOPLE.
The Board of Directors of the Ore
gon Coast Railway Company, of this
. city, the subsidiary, or holding com
pany, for the local interests repre
sented, and to be represented, in the
operations of the Astoria, Seaside &
Tillamook Railway Company, having
appointed H. G. Van Dusen, of As
toria, as right-of-way agent, with full
authority to take over, file, and report
upon the accumulations in this im
portant behalf, and that gentleman
having gone promptly to work in the
matter, it now becomes the urgent
duty of every progress-loving man in
Astoria and Clatsop county who shall
come within the range of Mr, Van
Dusen's quest, to meet him frankly
ang generously and yield what they
may in furtherance of the splendid
enterprise. , ' .
H. G. Van Dusen needs no intro
duction to the people of this end of
the Columbia valley; he is the right
man in the right place, not alone for
the holding company he stands for,
but for those with whom he shall do
business alone its router He will be
faithful to all interests engaged and
will fulfil (the stewardship honestly
and completely as a trained business
man always does. Not a single rood
of land given him in this relation will
for an instant be jeopardized in any
way; he and the Oregon Coast Rail
way' people are serving the especial
purpose of guarding every interest
submitted to them, their organization,
and his appointment, having been
made to this exact end..
The prosecution "' of this big and
valuable undertaking is essential to
the real development of this city and
county, and particularly the latter,
since it will be the direct tnenas of
opening up restricted territory and
putting1 every remote" community
within commercial, and instant, touch
of the advantages ' they need and
aspire to; it is the one line of oper
ation that shall build' and expand and
increase the population, business,
wealth and general importance'of the
communities how denied ready and
efficacious relation to the markets to
which they are naturally allied and
to those beyond, r 1 ' ; '
The situation, as to the project n
self, the final construction of , the As
toria,' Seaside & Tillamook road, is
excellent. Its general sponsor and
manager, Frank L. Evans, has done
all that hcmay' Si 'the premises as to
surveys, routing, and all preliminary
work, and has done it to the satis
faction of the people who are acting
as 'trustees for the people' whose Act
ual interests are to be involved; he
has subjected the whole matter, as
it stands, to the trained scrutiny of
"an expert in such cases) W, TJ For
Sythe, of Philadelphia, and the latter
will, in a few days submit the prp'j
jeet and its possibilities to his syn
dicate in the East, with every chance
of their accepting the enterprise and
guaranteeing its bonds for construc
tion. There is absolutely nothing to
warrant hesitancy or refusal in re
gard to' the giving of the rights-6f:
way, and no fear is felt that Mr. Van
Dusen's mission will prove futile any
where; and the news of his success
ill anlong the line Will be received
here and everywhere in the county
with unqualified pleasure. " ' !
" It is strictly up to our people now.
What they shall to' in this grea1!; and
essential issue, will decide the fate 'of
the road, and it were well not to' for
get ' that every concession ' made in !.in& people, who abhor graft . . and
this connection will be guarded to the! crookedess' and hav n0 sympathy

POLITICAL VAGARIES.
One of the sharpest, and most in
teresting, features of politics, in As
toria, as well as every other place
where they operate, are the vagaries,
the re adjustments, the strange align;
ments, that are noted, and compared,
each recurring season. This is an
exaggerated way of repeating the old
adage "Politics makes strange bed
fellows;" but we desire to emphasize
the peculiarities incident to local
campaigns, and make the wider state
ment for that reason.'
The political enemies of last year
are sworn friends this year, and the
ties that bound men irrevocably in
political action year before last are
dissolved and forgotten and the
newer bases prevail with the newer
champions, this year. Every man
who is wise" to the infinite changes in
men, measures and line-ups, smiles
covertly at the remarkable adapt
ability of the leaders in this hodge
podge of incongruities and once-assumed
impossibilities. The humor of
it all saves it from being taken
gravely or made much of; and the
laugh that is given it makes it easier
to assimilate.
We can see from" our office window,
day by day, the preliminaries fof a
lot of new, local amalgamations that
twelve months ago would have been
simply impossible of conception and
which would have raised bedlam had
they been but suggested. Men are
hand in hand today that were fist to
fist a few months ago; and the good
humored pursuit of the motives that
stand for the radical-shifting is about
the simplest task we have. The real
politician always stays in the back
ground and his purpose is hidden be
hind his own togue; but the spon
taneous feather-weight, the moment
ary champion of some momentary
scheme, is abroad day and night, with
his wit on his lip and his plan" on his
sleeve, his ends known of all men,
and oftener" than not, laughed at.
It's a funny thing, this politics!
, NOT MUCH COMFORT.
5 The Democratic Comptroller of the
Stat of New York is reported as
having said at a reception ' to the
Democratic candidate for Governor:
"The President has always wanted
to dash put into the limejight for res
cuing purposes. He rushed up San
Juan hill to save the . United States
and he rushed to the Governorship
to save the State. He accepted the,
ViccPresidencJ' to save himself, and
for the past two weeks he has rushed
to the front to save his party."
As President Roosevelt ' jnejt with
considerable, success, in those of the
ahove-mentiohed 1 roles -i which belong
tohi story," it is difficult to see where
in (any .consolation for Bryan is dis
cernible ni the flippant utterances of
Comptroller Glynn. '
HUGHES AND THE PEOPLE.
Grady, a Tammany State Senator,
is reported as saying in a campaign
speech, that Governor Hughes "puts
himself on a moral pedestal far above
the people." - ' , . I '. .-.
' This is a bad break for Grady, and
will hardly be regarded as compli
mentary by "'the people." , The fact
is that Governor Hughes places him
self on a moral level with the people,
the ordinary, plain, honest, Iaw-abid-
with race-track gambling, and its
train of ruined lives and hnpovished
families. ... . ,,
No doubt Governor' Hughes is on
a moral pedestal ,far above the kind
of people upon whom the Tammany
bosses depend to defeat ; the Gov
erhor; but the buses will- find, on
election day, that the great majority
of the people take exactly the same
moral' stand as Governor Hughes.

showing made at the dress rehearsal
held last night. ' i, , M ' '
Another feature of the evening's en
tertainment will be the music by the

personnel of the organization is
about the same as that of last year's
orchestra, which made such a splen
did showing at all the High School
functions, and is under the capable
leadership of Miss Maude Ross. Al
together this entertainment will be
one well worth attending and well
worth the price of admission. The
curtain will rise promptly at 8:30
o'clock. ' , ,

" TOOTHACHE. n
About the Worst Torture That Ever
AfflieUd Mankind.
"Yon of the younger generation,"
said the dentist severely, "don't appre
ciate the Importance of the conquest
of toothache that dentistry has made.
"Toothache Is the worst torture that
ever afflicted mankind, lta pules
'lancinating' they are technically t ailed
are worse than the pain of cancer.
Worse than cancer; that Is the truth.
I bare heard it from physicians; I
have beard It from three old people
I whom cancer finally killed. Tbey all
Mia tnnt tne pain or caucer ut its
worst was mild beside the pain of the
worst toothache.'
Toothache drove De Quluey to
opium eating. De Quluey, too, auya tu
his 'Opium Eater" like all dentists. I
have the passage by heart:
'No stronger expression of tooth
ache's lutenslty and scorching fierce
ness can be imagined than this fact
that wltbln my private knowledge two
persons who had suffered alike undr
toothache aqd cancer have pronounc
ed the former to be on the scale of tor
ture by many degree the worse. In
both there are at times lancinating
pangs keen, glancing, arrowy radia
tions of anguish and upon these the
basis of comparison is rested, parox
ysm against paroxysm, with the result
that I have stated.'" New Orleans

WHY SUFFER?
Breathe Hyomei and Kill the Loath
some Catarrh Germs.
Just as long as you have catarrh
your nose will itch, your breath will
be foul, you will hawk and spit, and
you will do -other disgusting things
because you can't help yourself.. The
germs of catarrh have 4 got -you in
their power; they are continually and
persistently digging 'into and irritat
ing the mucous: membcrane of, your
nosevand throat. They are now
making your life miserable; in time
they will sap your entire system of its
energy, its strength its vigor and
vitality; ' ' '
If, you do not kill the loathsome
germs of catarrh, their desperate as
saults will in time undermine your
reason, rob your brain of its bril
liancy and activity, and leave you not
only' a; physical ,but a mental wreck.
This picture is not overdrawn; the
writer has seen thousands of just
such cases. He has personally ex
perienced the d emoralizing r suit s
that come from the ravishing attacks
of the' horrible ' catarrh ' germs, , the
greatest pest of civilized nations.'
But there is one remedy that will
kill the germs and cure catarrh, and
that is Hyomei, the Australian dry
air treatment. There may be other
remedies, but they are not guaranteed
as T. F, Laurin, the 'druggist, will
guarantee Hyomei to cure catarrh, or
money back. Don't delay this pleas
ant antiseptic treatment. Every day
you allow theSe germs to exist .in
your system- brings you nearer - to
complete demoralization. T.. F, Lau
rin will sell you a conplete Hyomei
putfit for only $1.00. Ask him about
it. It is also guaranteed to cure
bronchitis, asthma, coughs, colds and
hay fever.

To cure Rheumatism yoi must
make make the kidneys do' their
work; they are the filters of ' the
blood. They' must be made to strain
out of the blood, the waste matter
and acids that cause rheumatism; the
urine must be neutralized so It will
no longer be a source of irritation to
the bladder, and, most "of all, you
must keep these acids from forming
in the stomach. This is the cause of
stomach trouble and poor digestion.
