NONE OF US IMMUNE.
A great grief has fallen upon
Henry Watterson, the editor of the
Louisville Courier-Journal, in the
sudden and violent death of his son,
H. W. Watterson, the brilliant young
lawyer, in New York City. The ven
erable newspaper man of Kentucky
las the sympathy of the nation in
his affliction, irrespective of politics,
creed and habitat; for he is entitled
to it, as one of the really great
friends and teachers of the people; a
man who has ever been conspicuous
for the utterance of the best and
noblest precepts that make for civic
advancement, and whose great paper
reflects the fine principles of an ex
alted citizenship that is appreciated
all over the nation, even so' far as
out here in old Astoria.
AN IDEAL PROPOSITION.
Astoria, her bay, and rivers, should
be famous, the world over, for the
plentitude and quality of her water
sports, and the boats and men behind
them! She has everything to make
for such fame, wealth, skiff waters
and the sportsmanship that keeps
such enterprises going.
The pleasant fact that a half hun
dred of her motor boat people are to
revivify the yachting and motoring
interests of the city is good news and
that they intend to enter the Pacific
International Power Boat Associa
tion lends assurance of the early suc
cess of the venture. She has every
facility at hand for expediting the
sport and all that is required is that
her young blood sparkle up to thj
initiative and set a pace for the re
laxed energies that have been per
mitted to idle and sleep far too long.
She should be in the very van of
the great water games of the day;
she could attract and hold some of
the biggest events in the world, be
cause of her manifold attractions as
resort snd the perfection of her
water courses. These, with the means.
the mechanical ingenuity and re
sources she possesses, should, and
would, soon bring her to a distinc
tive level in the records of the coasr.
Go to it, everybody!
THE IRVING SLIDE. .
The Irving avenue improvement is
one of the conspicuous evidences of
the elemental incapacity of the pow
ers that be, for the business-like des
patch of municipal affairs. That the
project, in its incipiency, .was actu
ated by laudabte motives may not be
denied, since it was designed to open
up a through thoroughfare to the re
stricted and remote districts of the
city on the East. Yet this very im
portant and promising enterprise was
undertaken with specific knowledge,
of the existance of the threatening i
character of the earth-slide that has'
negatived the last atom of good In
tended, without a single scientific
provision being made to meet and
overcome it, and the farther the sub
ject is investigated, the more it looks
as if it was the purpose to rush the
contracts to completion before the
wet season should demonstrate the
danger and inutility of the job. And,
again, the unfinished end of the work,
at the point where the direct line of
the avenue debouches to the south,
and again to the east, shows a lack
of skill and aptitude, in that the first
departure is made on a sharp declivity
and the second on an equally sharp
grade-rise, both of which should have
been obviated in favor of a direct
grade line, even if the completion
should have been put off for a year
or two until its cost might have been
achieved.
It is one of the most glaring ex
pressions of boss-rule, engineering
blundering and contract-subservience
anywhere in the city, and is
condemned on all sides for
its recklessnes sand impractica
bility; as is the bald application of
the lap-back-system of assessments
that prevails at certain stages of the
improvement; another inspiration of
the boss to secure sufficient fund to
improve property that cannot bear
the strain of the first cost, let alone
the second charge.
These are the things that are ex
hausting the patience of this public.

THE DAY OF MILLIONS.
We Americans have gotten so in
the habit of talking "millions," that
we have literally cheapened the ordi
nary estimates in which the common
er phases of human comfort and In
dulgence were wont to be regarded.
It is a bad sign. The poorer of ui
must measure our lack of means by
guages that emphasise the actualities.
and make us the poorer In the awful
contrast, while' the ordinary, quiet
venture, involving meagre thousand',
s made comparatively eoiiteiimtible
in the light of the braggart excesses
of the day. Astoria is one of the
cities of the land absolutely without
a millionaire; but we all gabble mil
lions with the same unction and
spirit as if we were a treasure cen
ter of the universe. It has its comi
cal side; but it is a bad sign, all the
same.
AMUSEMENTS
HERE'S TO 'EM!
First Company, Coast Artillery, O.
N. G., of Astoria, is, at last, in full
and fine shape for its high purposes.
It has its quota of men, a capable
roster of officers, a complete and
generous equipment, its armory, and
its Bag and all, with the splendid
spirit that should actuate an organi
zation of that character. The city is
-proud of the company, and the com
pany stands for the city, the state
and the nation in the fullest sense of
the word.
Here's to the boys!
May they never know a day less
propitious for them nor for us; may
the rule and discipline of the service
inspire not only the perfect quality
of soldier and the fine loyalty of the
patriot, but quicken the sense of civic
responsibility that hovers behind the
motive that prompted the organiza
tion; and may the flag they bear be.

IMMEDIATE RELIEF
From Coughs, Colds, Sore Throats
and Hoarseness, by Using
Hyomei
When you catch cold you want to
get rid of it as quickly as you can.
You don't want to lie around the
house for a week swallowing nau
seating drugs. You know when you
do this that you are not only making
your own life miserable, but are a
nuisance to everyone about you.
Why not avoid all this; why not
relieve your cold in five minutes;
why not cure it over night ? You can
do it by using Hyomei, the sure and
guaranteed cure for Colds, Couahs,
Sore Throat, Catarrh, Bronchitis and
Asthma.
Hyomei is medicated and antiseo-
tic atr; you breathe it into the lungs
through a small pocket inhaler, and
its soothing influences as it passes
over the inflamed membrane of the
respiratory tract, stops the mucous
discharge, alUys the inflammation,
and the cold is cured. A comolete
Hyomei outfit costs $1.00, and T. F.
Laurin will refund your monev if it
fails to cure.
