There's a magic spell in the
femes of good, pure Coffee, the kind
that refreshes and Invigorates even by
he odor alone. When the fragrance
f our pure Coffee reaches the nos
trils it crates a desire to taste at once
the magnetic nectar from which the
aroma comes. It is the same way
with our choice Teas, which satisfy
the desires of the most particular
tea-drinkers.

r fire or flap-doodle; he was master
of his theme and talked straight and
convincing from the premise he had
chosen, the "American constitutional
franchise and its preservation to the
People." He argued from this pre
dicate and made a strong, interest
ing talk, the substance of which was
the duty of all Americans to make a
religion of the safety of their funda
mental prerogative, the ballot. Hu
man liberty was the ;hief factor of
human progress; and this once de
stroyed, we were back to a slavery
such as we had never known or
fought for. He warned the people
against the encroachment of bureau
ocracy and warned them to fight
against the usurpations of the judic
iary npon the legislative function; to
separate them distinctly and keep
them in their respective latitudes
and attitudes and to make centraliza
tion a living bugbear at all times. He
claimed not to be a politician; he
Bad served the country too long, and
wtf trying to serve it again in this
instance, and thought it the common

touched upon the issue of govern
ment by injunction, and gave that
topic some severe side licks; as he
iid Speaker Cannon, for his superla
tive domination of the lower house;
and then passed to the question of
direct and indirect taxation which he
landled cleverly from his particular
viewpoint, passing to the ideal he
has always cherished, the complete
fortification of the Pacific Coast line,
and the establishment ' of naval di-
pots throughout its territory,' enlar
mg npon the "yellow menace" and
is possibilities, winding out the ad
dress wth some rather fatuous ref
erences to the "Great : Commoner,"
"our candidates," evidently alluring
to Mr. Bryan, but not once naming
him nor Mr. Kern in terms, a fact
that caused genuine surprise in the
minds of every listener who sat un
dcr him; and indicating that while
Be was a Democrat he had very dis
tinct reservations on the subject of
the personnel at the head of that
ticket; for a Democratic oration, it
was the most remarkable evasion
ever noted in this city, and will be
remembered for all time, as the most
flagrant incident recorded in ' the
campaign of 1908 in this section of
the country.

close and Captain Hobson,- as' soon
as he could break away , from the
host that sought an introduction,
was driven in Dr. Estcs' auto', to the
TWO-HQ BSQN... ... ..
Flavct dock, where, with a party of
friends, he became the guest of Col
lector of Customs W. F. McGregor,
who believes in paying proper re
spect to all notables, of whatsoever
political faith they may chance to
be, upon the hypothesis of their na
tional claim to courteous recognition,
and with a party including Mayor
Wrise, Messrs. J. W. McKensie, of
Portland: N. P. Sorenson, of that
citv: F. L. Evans, Hon. John Hv
Smith and Lieutenant J. Prentice of
Fort Stevens, who, was up to pay his
respects and escort the distinguished
visitor to and about the post, as the
representative of the official staff
there. The cruise was very enjoy
able and was a pleasant relaxation
for Captain Hobson after the en
gagements of the day and he was put
clearly in touch with the scope and
facilities of the harbor in so far as
the limited time'at command served.
He was deeply impressed with the
beauty and elemental qualities of the
bay and river, for, though he had
bay and river, for, though he has
never been to Astoria before, and
did not fail to appreciate the wonder
ful resources at hand for naval ar
mament and refuge of , which the
tvo harbors here are charged. He
txpressed himself freely to the effect
that it was a magnificent asset for
the Government, but, that aside from
the great jetty, it must have been
rather deliberately overlooked in
other and more specific relations
such as making it a war-base; and he
did not hesitate to give forth the as
surance that he, in the prosecution of
his great work for the embankment
of this coast, would not forget the
site nor its supreme advantages.
At the quartermaster's landing at
Fort Stevens a post wagon was in
waiting and the party was driven
hurriedly to the main grounds,
whence the noted visitor was whisk
ed off by Lieutenant Prentice to see
certain pet things in the way of
equipment that are not shown to all
visitors down that way, and after he
returned, it was decided that in order
for him to meet his Portland engage
ments and start n his tour to Cali
fornia, it would be necessary to take
the trairt back to this city, and this
being conceded, he paid his farewells
to the b.ost of the hour and the offi
cers who had assembled to meet
him, and boarded the train to War
renton .where he changed to the
Portland express, and went on his
way, rejoicing in the day he had de
voted to Astoria and with his mind
full of what he had seen and heard,
and from which, he declared, this
people sould hear again in the days
to come. '
"Captain "Hobson made a splendid
impression on all whom he met yes
terday, not so much in a political
sense, as in the proposition that he
was a man of the country, with larg
er ambitions than mere politics sug
gested; and he may be certain that
he made friends and plenty of them
in this behalf during his six hours'
stay in the City-by-the-Sea. ,
, The conviction he admitted as to
the prominence this port and harbor
should hold in the plans of the gov
ernment in its future dealing with
the coast enterprises within its pale,
are of a sort to make every man glad
he came here; for this man is no
mere mouther, but rather an Ameri
can statesman with prideful ambi
tions and definite programs of ac
tion that are practically limitless in
their range and influence, and As
toria may count herself fortunate in
having won so advantageous' a
friend at Washington. ; ?
Captain Hobson speaks at Eugene
this" afternoon and then goes on to
the Golden Gate, where he will open

the story was told to Judge Kohlsaat
by Horace K. Tenney, retained as
counsel for them.
Mr. Tenney asserted that Mr.
Richardson represented a faction in
the interests involved in the mining
syndicate and that it happened that
he and his faction were not mem
bers of the board of directors.
"It happens," said Mr. Tenney,
"that one of the directors, Mr, Hen

the action of the board was at one
time in control . and so completely
dominated everything that he tied
