FROM THE PRIMARIES.
Monday's primaries present some
very suggestive results that need to
be appreciated and remembered oy
the Republicans of Astoria; and
which must serve to nerve the major
party in this city to the honest rec
tarnation of its own on the 9th of
next month, when the city election
shall determine the fate, once for all.
of Republicanism in this city, and
for many years to come.
Among the most conspicuous "signs
deriveable from the primary vote,
light as it was on both tickets, is that
Samuel Elmore and every Republi
can candidate on the ticket were
sharply and clearly more popular
than the Democratic nominees. .Mr.
Smith fell far short of anything like
a popular, expression of Democratic
choice;, indeed, hi nomination, rela
tively, is away in arrears of the nor
mal vote of his party; with this poor
showing, and the beggarly tribute
paid him by the late, unlamented
"Citizens'" convention, which he
owned, 'controlled and baldly appro
priated, personally, and.- in person,
leave him lined up for the municipal
race with but little to arouse the
honest pride of himself or his fol-
lowing.
Another lesson to be learned from
the vote of Monday is the absolute
certainty wherewith - Republican As
toria may now take over all that be
longs to it, if it will but cherish its
privilege and assert its prerogative;
there is no reason why it should lay
down every time A. M. Smith tells
it to "roll over!." The strong, health
ful showing of Monday tells a story
of Republican disgust at the long
imposition thrust on the community,
and is the first sheer sign of rebel
lion against it For he is the idol
of the "open town" element, however
little he may appreciate the equivo
cal honor (and however little he may
desire the office of mayor, now that
it will not carry with it the supreme
. control of the police department). It
is tip to the thinking, , independent,
pnbiddable, - Republican voters to
break down the rule of bossism in
this city and have their affairs car
ried on minus the intervention of an
interested chief to whom politics is
more than ordained, orderly proced
ure, and ring-domination the better
part of municipal administration.
This is the attitude of all bosses and
disagreeable as it may be, it adheres,
with indisputable appropriateness, to
the clever gentleman in question. It
has been pleaded for (and even by),
Mr. Smith; that his prominence, in
this relation was compulsory; forced
upon him by similar conditions that
"existed within the Republican party
here in days gone by; and granting
the exact justice of such a plea, it
may not prevail to perpetuate a state
of affairs, as bad, if not worse, tan-1
der HIS manipulation. Two periods

of wrong neither qualify nor justify
the continuation of either; and since
he and his colleagues, seeking to
save the' city from alleged Republi
can mis-conduct and mis-rule, have
not wrought its salvation "to hurt,'
but have set up a state of affairs
just as unlovely and unrighteous, he
need not marvel at the revolt now
on; it is a poor rule that will not
work on all men alike. And besides,
bossism has become a stench in the
nostrils of the people and an insult
to civic intelligence, ,
OUR FISHERIES.
When the Supreme Court of the
United States shall have rendered is
decisions in the Nelson case, and in
the 1 Oregon-Washington-river-boundary
case, the matter of the salmon
fisheries , on the upper and lower
Columbia river will be cleared to an
extent that will give the States in
interest, a better opportunity to
come together for the common good
of the industry. This is our hope.
The adverse conditions now beset
ting it arise directly from the insidu
ous curse of human greed and the
exclusion of every scientific and
prescriptive course that would natur
ally govern it, at the behest of that
greed. It is the old, old story of the
saperttnpending dollar, to ; which
everything, good, and bad, gives
way under the proper pressure.
Frank Senfert, the arch instigator
and champion of the fish wheel, the
coarsest, clumsiest, savagest fish
killing device known to man, is not
fighting to defend the hideous con
trapation; he knows its murderous
faculty better than anyone else in
either state; he is fighting for his
dividends and profits and emolu
ments, gathered from this egg-and-
spawn eating thing, while there are
still enough salmon of marketable
size running to compensate him for
the cheap maintenance of the brutal
tiling. He is not in the propagating
business; be is not posing as a
scientist, with the future of the fish,
fishers, or fisheries in mind; that is a
small matter with him, compared with
the nimble dollar heading his way
from the sacrificial wheel
Perhaps the great tribunal of the
country, oblivious of the dollar, will
see, and say, things, that shall spare
a magnificent industry to a people
who value it and who would hand it
down to their children intact and
prosperous. "

Kitty, Sam and the
Peacemaker.
By COLIN S. COLLINS.

Utsrsry prat.
When It has boeu "Sam" and "Kitty
from babyhood it ti rather difficult to
pass suddenly to (he "Mr, Hastings'
and "Ml Norwood- stage. Both Sum
and Kitty felt the strain, thongh each
took mental obligation to do nothing
that In any way might be construed
Into an overture of friendship.
It had all started Innocently euongh
Kitty on her way to the poultice en
couuteruHl Jim Saunders. 8he regarded
Saunders as a persistent pest, but she
could not rery well refoso hit sugges
tion that they stop In at the drug store
and have a glass of soda.
Then It happened that they turned
Into Bekllng street In animated eon
venation, and Sam could not know
they had mot Just around the corner.
Of all the summer visitors to Au
bumrtlle Sam disliked Saunders the
most, and Kitty knew It It looked to
htm aa though she had deliberately ac
cepted Saunders' attention to punish
him for a trivial quarrel of the Bhjht
before.
Kitty was Just finishing the last tiny
lump of Ice cream from the bottom of
the tall glass when Sam entered the
store with Belle Paulding, Kitty's
dearest enemy.
lie had bowed stiffly In salutation.
and Kitty had responded with a "Good
morning, Mr. Hastings," emphasizing
the name as sweetly and as coldly a
the frozen delicacy she had Just con
nmed.
That had been the atari; of the trou
Ue, but the end had been atow In com
ing. That afternoon Kitty went mo
toring with Sancders, though she bated
motor ears, and Belle went bossy
riding with Sam to punish Saunders
for bis Imagined disloyalty.
Saunders and Mum Paulding had
quickly patched their quarrel up. but
Kitty was unyielding, and there waa a
squareness to Sam's chin that did not
argue In favor of pliability of person
allty.
With ceremonious politeness each
trove to show the other how little rt
mattered, but Kitty cried herself to
sleep nlsht after night and Sam swore
softly, but fervently, at what be was
pleased to term the foolishness of wo
mankind.
So matters stood when the excnrslon
of the Aebdrnrllle cornet band was
announced. The boys needed new uni
forms, and Dick Potts bad promised
to learn the euphonium If they would
bay him one.
All public spirited citizens purchased
tickets. Sam bought two through
force of habit and then viciously tore
them up, whereby the band profited
another CO cents, for 8am waa de
termined to go on that excursion If
only to show that he could go without
Kitty.
He had never gone on an excursion
alone save once, wiien Kitty was
pending a week with ber aunt over In
Cadyvtile, and be had had a miserable
time. Now he did not look for enjoy
ment but Kitty needn't think be could
not go alone If be wanted to.
Much the same sentiment animated
Kitty, though she arranged to go with
a married sister, and it so happened
that they passed over the gangplank
together, with the formal greeting that
was now customary. ; .'
The picnic was held on Paddle Is
land, out In the lake, a favorite picnic
ground. A narrow strip of land con
nected two rough oval extremities tbnt
by an abuse of the imagination might
be said to resemble a paddle. Bobby
Beaton, who was In the primary class,
aptly, If Improperly, described It aa "a
peninsula with an Island at each end."
As soon as lunch was disposed of
the elders settled themselves near the
baskets, while the young folk wander
ed off to either end of the Island, fol
lowed by a fusillade of Injunctions to
hurry back- the moment the first whis
tle sounded.
Sam and Kitty followed suit but
Sam made certain that Kitty was
headed for the southern blade of the
paddle before he started north. It was
dreary work sitting all alone on the
point and presently the fresh air and
the soft bed of pine needles combined
to bring sleep to the worried brain.
It seemed to Sam that he bad en
Joyed only a brief nnp, but by the
time be had. bunted up the cabin some
of the boys had built for use In the
duck season and had . borrowed the
bathing trunks be found there he was

the warning whistle blew.
Madly he dashed from the water Into

terval some one bod "chawed" bis
clothes. His underwear was as full
of knots as a snake that bad been
lunching off a full set of pool balls,
bis trousers were tied Into a true lov
er's knot that suggested anything but
sentiment, and the luces of bis shoes
offered a good ten minutes of unpick
ing. Sam wns still surveying the dan

He was still expressing his opinion
of things when there was it I'Usl'e In
the bushes, and Sam turned to fu.x
Kitty, who walked with limp and
carried a ttttck In ber baud.
"Una the boat goiief she cried In
despair, "I started up to qwVkly that
I wrenched my ankle. I culled for
help, but uo one seemed to hoar."
"I was at the other end of the Is
land,", explained Sam, who eeined to
think that the reproach wsi directed
against him. "1 took a nap and didn't
realise bow long I slept. I took a
swim after that, and tome kUU
chawed my ckrthee. I Just got hero

and tend back for us. Can I fix your

"I'm afraid I shall hsve to ask your
assistance, Mr. Ilnstlngs," said Kitty,
suddenly mindful of the fact that the
was speaking to 8am. i
. He helped Iter to a rook and caw
fully ent away the shoe. Then with
the sleeves of bis shirt he Improvised
a bandage that brought relief and
noted with satisfaction that the sprain
seemed to be slight, sine there was
little swelling.
"That will bare to do until we can
get to town," he said as be rose to his
feet "Does It feel any easier, Miss
Norwood T
"Very moch, thank you, Mr. Has
tings."
Sam gritted bis teeth and mentally
assured himself that when a fellow

ankle and sacrifices his very newest
and handsomest shirt for bandage
the least aha might do would be to call
him Sum," at of old. no moved stiff
ly away and took a seat on a bowlder
behind her. If she waa lonesome she
could call him.
But Kitty, though she was dreadful
ly lonesome and a little bit afraid, was
too proud to calk Even the faint scent
of tobacco that now and then drifted
past her on some vagrant breeze was
comforting, since It was an Indication
of Sam's presence, bnt sbe would not
speak.
Sam gloomily regarded her eloquent
shoulders nnd longed to take her In his
arms and comfort her, but he assured
htmself that It was ber place to make
the overture. It looked as though the
deadlock would continue unbroken
when the serpent entered this lone
some Eden.
It wns only a tiny gartersnake scarce
ly twelve Inches long, and It was
hurrying away from the human In
truders aa rapidly as possible when
Sam spied it With a long switch he
turned Its course and headed It past
the rock vhcre Kitty wss sitting.
The rustling In the grass caught her
attention, and, looking down, she spied
the wriggling length of green.
With a shrill scream of "8a mf she
straggled to ber feet and tho next In
stant was sobbing In her terror, with
her arms about his neck.
With cruel Ingratitude Sam dispatch
ed his benefactor and lifted the girl hi
his arms.
"We'll go sit on the dock, Kitty," be
suggested. "There are no snake there.
Pretty soon. If help doesn't come, I'll
swim over to shore and get small
boat somewhere.
"Some one will come, 6am," she de
clared. "Anyhow, It's nice here for
while."
You bet It Is, Kitty," assented Sam
aa the girl crept close to the protecting
circle of his arm.
Then In a torrent of words they bad
their explanation. It cleared the air
wonderfully, and presently Kitty pat
ted the band that clasped ber waist
"You say you didn't like to take
Belle riding," sbe whispered, "Just as
though yon had all the trouble. I bet
you wouldn't like It any better to let
Mr. Saunders pretend to make love to
you. - , .
'No, I wouldn't" assented Sam hon
eUy aa be bent his head to claim an
other kiss. "Kitty, Tm sorry I killed
that snake."
"But It was a snake," explained Kit
ty, as though that were sufficient res

that bis responsibilities must some

"Sleep," replied Jenner In bis char
