MR. HILL'S VISIT.
James J. Hill has come and gone.
Astoria has met him for the first
time since he became closely allied to
her, as the master of her only rail
way system; and to the last man in
contact with him yesterday, they are
glad to have met and known him. ,
He did not come down here to
talk, to promise, to declare; he was
on his initial visit to this, his ocean
terminal city, the sea-end of his pet
system of railway control and own
ership. ''" 7 ..,
It is of rare importance that this
contact has been made. Astoria has
seen the man to whom she may owe
a vast deal in the near, or late, fu
ture and the assurance is ours, that
he is at last in touch with us per
sonally, and that we have enough to
: recommend us to his earnest con
sideration. We have not asked him
tn do or say a thing: he has come
and gone and left his impression be
hind, and it is .wholly favorable to
him. ' He is the same rugged, earn
est, self-contained, masterly man, we
all have heard about; he was careful
about what he had to say; and the
fact that he did not leave any rea
sonant and energizing word behind
. him is balanced by the fact that he
did not say a thing that can cause a
fraction of discouragement, - in any
- sense of the term.; .
It is to be deplored that he did not
reach the city at an hour and in
. weather when her strategic position
and quality as a port might be bet
ter noted by his eager eye and mind;
but the assurance he left of early and
frequent visits to come, disposes of
any great regret on this score..
The city feels better for the inci
dent. It has now the right to feel
that Mr. Hill will have a livlier con
cern for this promising section of his
tonnage territory, and that that con
cern may gradually develop until he
asserts, in more practical fashion,
the new interest he must feel in As
toria and her ambitions,, as, a sea
terminal.
oil company bearing a part of his
name. Believing that the company
was wholly dominated and largely
owned by the Standard, the Attorney-General
of Texas had Mr. Pierce
testify as to the proprietorship of his
concern. , 7 ' ' ' V
Mr, Pierce gravely swore that the
Waters-Pierce was an independent
concern, fighting the Standard with
might and main. Backed by Senator
Bailey, whose influence at the time
was overwhelming in that part of the
world, the Waters-Pierce was per
mitted to continue business.
Subsequently Attorney-General
Hadley of Missouri attacking the
Waters-Pierce Company, and at that
hearing Mr. Pierce testified that the
Standard Company owned two-thirds
of the stock of the company of the
former company which, by the way,
on a capitalization of $1,000,000 has
paid as high as $685,000 profit per
annum. ' .' '" : " : -
Immediately afterward Mr. Pierce
was indicted for perjury, and the of
ficials of Texas tried to take him
from Missouri to Fort Worth. ;
Mr. -Pierce naturally resisted. Era
ploying .high-priced counsel, he got
his case before the Supreme Court
at Washington, which tribunal swept
aside.-all technicalities and subjects
Mr. Pierce now to arrest and extra
dttion; He can carry his case no
further; and once in Texas, he will
find the unoiled roads hard ones to
travel.
Verily, the Standard Oil and its
officers at last are discovering that
they cannot defy the entire universe,
S. F. Chronicle. .
Henry Clay Pierce, president of
the Waters-Pierce Oil Company,
chartered under the laws of Missouri
and having its headquarters in the
city of St. Louis, after having heroi
cally and expensively fought against
extradition to Texas, where he is un
der indictment for perjury, ; at last
has lost. Now he must come , out of
seclusion in the suburbs of Boston
and go to the Lone Star State and
stand. triaL- ; ' " V.V
Mr.' Pierce' is the president of the
SANITY TRIUMPHS.
The overwhelming election of Wil
liam Howard Taft for president of
the United States again shows that
the people rule, are sane and are not
to be stampeded from their safe
moorings by a perennial agitator,
dangerous inventor 1 of paramount
issues" and foolish vagaries.
There has been no time during this
campaign when there seemed the
slightest possibility that the people
seriously considered Mr. Bryan's
silly appeal to class against class and
favoritism of those who were for
tunate enough to have deposits in
banks, leaving all other deserving
people to run the risk of being job
bed without any attention from the
government.
Bryanism has again been given
solar plexus as it deserved. The
United States has never enjoyed
ten-year period of such prosperity
among ail its people as during the
last decade and there has been no
more call for Bryan's wild attacks on
our institutions that there , was
against the operation of the laws of
gravity. He has just closed the
weakest campaign ever made by any
candidate for president of the
United States and has been taught
lessoji which should permanently
terminate his incessant infliction of
half-baked vagaries on a people who
think for themselves.
It is hoped he will retire to his
home at Fairview and devote him
self to the raising of pigs for market
instead of Cairt for the general pub

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 0)8.
A curious light on superstition in
igh iilaccs is related in the Woman's
Hwne Companion for November In
this issue Kellogg Durlaiul, writing
the Tsaritsa of AH the Russias,
tells the following':
"When three children had been
born, and no heir, the Tsarita turned
oen ear to various men who
claimed supernatural power and con
trol. Before the birth ot .Anasiasie
the aid of eminent medical and scien
tific men had been sought to influence
the sex of the child, but all to no
no avail. And so, when science failed.
religion was appealed to.
"The example of their trust in mir
acle working which history has been
called upon to remember, is that of
the dead and buried priest who was
supposed to have finally brought
them a son, and who was cononized
hw the Emoerorl The day of St.
Seraphim is now one of the honest
of days in Russia and is celebrated
throughout the empire. i
"Seraphim was an old priest ot
Saroff, in the interior of Russia, who
according to local tradition, was a
kind of soothsayer and local medi
cine man. His particular power is
said to have been in endowing barren
women with children. -
"Seraphim had been dead seventy
years, out me isar was now huxiuuj
to leave no stone unturned to pro
cure a son, and encouraged by the
Tsarita, Seraphim was canonized!
"When the remains of the old
Driest were unearthed it was touna
that the body was badly decomposed,
and to canonize a man whose body
yields to the influence of decomposi
tion is contrary to the traditions ana
customs of the church. The Ortho
dox Bishop Dmitry of Tambof ven
tured to call attention to this and pro
test the canonization to the Tsar, but
for his temerity he was deprived of
his see and exiled to Viatka. Nicho
las held that the reservation of
bones, hair and teeth sufficient quail
fication for saintship.
'So Seraphim was canonized with
great pomp and ritualistic Solemnity,
and the next child born to the lsar
ita was a son! If anything were need
ed to fasten the belief of the Tsar
and Tsarita in these extreme forms
of religion, it was an answer to their
prayers at this time. The boy was
called ' Alexis, and he was born on
July 30. 1904, according to the Rus
sian calendar, and ever since the 1 sar
and Tsarita have been given more
and more to the pursuit of spiritual
istic religion."

WHICH ANYONE CAN PREPARE
-RELIEVES RHEUMATISM
PROMPTLY BY FORCING THE
KIDNEYS TO FILTER THE
URIC ACID.
To make up enough of the "Dan
delion treatment," which is claimed to
be relieving nearly every sufferer
who uses- it ; for backache, kidney
complaint, sore weak bladder and
rheumatism'; get from any good
prescription pharmacy one-half
ounce f luid Extract uanuenon, one
ounce Compound Kargon and three
ounces Compound Syrup of Sarsapa
rilla. Shake well in a bottle and take
in teaspoonful doses after each meal
and again at bedtime.
.Those who have tried it claim that
it acts cently but thoroughly on the
kidneys, relieving backache and blad
der trouble and urinary difficulties
before you realize it. Many cases of
rheumatism are known to have been
relieved within a few days, the pain
and swelling diminishing with each
dose.
This simple recipe is said to
strengthen and cleanse the elimina
tive tissues of the Kidneys so that
they can filter and strain from the
blood and' system the poisons, acids
and waste matter, which cause not
only Rheumatism, but numerous
other diseases. Every man or worn
an here who feels that their kidneys
are not healthy and active, or who
suffers from any urinary trouble
whatever, should not hesitate to
make up this mixture, as it is certain
to do much good, and may save you
from much misery and suffering after
while.
How to Cure Cold,
Be as careful as you may you will oc
casionally take cold, and when you do,
get medicine of known reliability,
one that has an established reputa
tion, and that is certain. 'to effect a
quick cure. Such a medicine is
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. H
las gained a world-wide reputation
by its remarkable cures of this most
common ailment, and can always be
depended upon. It nets on natures
plan, relieves the lungs,. aids expec
toration, opens the secretions and
aids nature in restoring the system
a healthy icondition. During the
many years in which it has been in
general use we have yet to learn of
single ease of cold or attack of the
ip having resulted in pneumonia
when this remedy was used, whfen
shows conclusively that it Is a cer
tain preventive of that dangerous
disease. Chamberlain s Cough Kern-
dy contains no opium or other nar
cotic and may be given as confi
dently to a baby as to an adult.

The little Snark, in which Jack
London is going around the world
for the Woman's Home Companion,
is seeing some strange sights. Not
the least of these is the hideous ele
phantasis of the South Sea Islands.
"We sat on the cool porch, on Bi-
haura's best mats, while dinner was
preparing, and at the same time met
the villagers. In twos and threes and
groups they strayed along. Here
would be a comely woman of magni
ficent proportions, with the port of
a queen, yet marred by one arm four
times-ror a dozen times the size of
the other. Beside her might stand a
six-foot man, erect, mighty muscled,
bronzed, with the body of a god, yet
with feet and calves so swollen that
they ran together, forming legs,
shapeless, monstrous, that were for
all the world like elephant legs.
"No one seems really to know the
cause of the South Sea elephantiasis.
One theory is that it is caused by
drinking polluted water. Another the
ory attributes it - to inoculation
through mosquito bites. A third theo
ry charges it to predisposition plus
the process - of acclimatization. On
the other hand, no one that stands
in finicky dread of it and similar di
seases can afford to travel in the
South Seas. There will be occasions
when such a one must drink water.'
There may also be occasions when
the mosquitos let up biting. But ev
ery precaution of the finicky one will
be useless. If he runs barefoot across
the beach to take a swim he will
tread where an elephantiasis case
trod a few minutes before. If he clo
sets himself in his own house, yet ev
ery bit of fresh food on his table will
have been subjected to the contami
nation, be it flesh, fish, fowl or vege
table. In the public market at Papeti
two known-lepers run stalls, and
heaven alone knows through what
channel! arrive' at that market daily
supplies of fish, fruit, meat and vege
tables. The only happy way to go
through the South Seas is with a care
less poise, without apprehension, and
with a placid, child-like faith in the
resplendent fortune of your own par
ticular star. When you see a wo
man .afflicted with- elephantiasis
wringing out cream from cocanut
meat with - her naked hands, drink
and reflect how good is the cream,
forgetting the hands that pressed it
out. Also, remember that diseases
such as elephantiasis and leprosy do
not seem to. be caught by contact."
