Fair. REPUBLICAN FRUITS.
Even with the loss of the head of
the ticket the Republicans of Astoria
may arrogate to themselves a very
pronounced victory in the general
outcome of yesterday's election. Th
defeat of Mr. Elmore is particular!
deplorable in view of the election o
the majority of the Council, and ye
the attainment of the Council goes
long way toward compensation, in
that Mr. Smith will have to face an
unpliabl and unbossable group of
civic issociates who will not need,
and will not obey, his dictation, at
any point of their service.
The elimination of certain con
spicuously reckless legislators clears
the field for the application of essen
tial economies and reconstructive
policies, whereby the city may be
saved from a crisis in the gravest of
all her relations, her finances. And
there is, perhaps, further elimination
to be effected by a legal recount in
certain directions, notably in the
fourth precinct, ward 2. But, be that
as it may, the situation evolved is
satisfactory as far as it goes and
Astoria will be governed by a Council
amenable to the law that means res
ervation and preservation of the rev
cnues and assets and 'guards her
against further exploitation.
The dread of the seawall grab is
wiped out That stalling and stalk
ing nightmare is removed; and the
establishment of the Port of Astoria
assured. The city's condition is im
mensely improved by the election of
the men for whom the Astorian and
all good Republicans have labored,
and what of reproach may attach to
those Republicans who forgot their
duty, or wilfully neglected it may be
passed to the limbo of things ignored
even if they art not forgotten. The
day is practically and deservedly our
and the best demonstration of this
comfortable truth is yet to be made
rght in the Council chambers of this
city.

BIG DEMAND FOR LUMBER
A feature of the lumber market '
the heavy buying for railroad ac
count, the orders which have been re
cently placed by the transportation
lines aggregating, on the lowest esti
mate, fully 25.000,000 feet The high
est estimate is twice as great. On
either estimate, however, these pur
chases will have a stimulating effect
upon the market. As compared with
the whole output, the amount is not
large, but coming as it does at a
time when other commercial de
mands are getting stronger, it will
help the trade to a considerable
amount
The lumber industry of this state
has been severely handicapped for a
long time past, the trouble antedat
ing by several months the nnanciil
disturbance which culminated rather
more-than a year ago. As it is the
leading industry of the state, a de
pression in the lumber industry
necessarily affects all others.
The healthful reaction which has
set in is one of the most gratifying
features of a largely improved busi
ness outlook. Moreover, the mere
fact that the railroads are purchas
ing heavily of lumber is itself an
evidence of increased confidence.
faith in the future and improved
business conditions. Seattle P. I.
ed. Onlv one-lourth ot the remain- t
lcr, is reserved by the govermiicn;.
Of this less than a Hunt is cared tr i
in a way that insures the best re-;
suits; that is, 'conserved by use.' t
-With a knowledge of this comlt-U, , , 1
w, w,n cive credit to itw ! f U towwwiwty
prediction of Overton Price, asso j
eiate United States forester, that the j
annual production of lumber through
out the couutry has reached the ton
notch and will remain the same for .
while, or else begin to decrease.
"At the present rate the forests
are consumed three times as fast a
they can be replaced by natural
growth and worse than that, for a
common method of lumbering leave
the land denuded and unable to re
forest itself.
"In the last 10 years 243 firm re
tired from the business of manufac
Hiring lumber because of their in
ability to secure a supply. The last
heedless scramble may take place in
the northwest, but, it is to be hoped
that the conservation movement will
find a means of preventing it.
"Properly handled, the forests that
remain will more than reproduce
themselves, at the same time allow
ing a production of lumber, with less
wasteful methods, fully equal to the
country's needs. The immediate pro
fits will be less, but the lumber in
dustry will be made permanent. A
few years of delay, however, will
prove disastrous." Missoulian.
Since he will not be able to get
married again for some time, Nat
Goodwin has just been sued for
$100,000, which serves the same pur
pose.
A Reading. Pa., woman, who died
the other day, had attended vxv lu
nerals during her life, but as cruel
fate would have it, she had only one
herself.

FOREST PRESERVATION.
The Spokesman-Review of Spokane
has become one of the most earnest
advocates and one of the most influ
ential supporters of the conservation
policy of the administration and this
newspaper is particularly effective in
its arguments in behalf of the forest
reserve plans. Discussing the forest
situation in this country, the Spokesman-Review
says:

Would not the first words of the
Son of idan be: "Ye are members one
of another"? Would He not lift those
three churches above the level of
tneir little pet dogmas and observan
ces into the large, clear atmosphere
of the "kingdom," where they would
harmonize into one strong church
void of financial problems? Would he
not drive the sordid, petty compe
tition of rival secti out of our land as
passionately as He drove the compe
tition of rival theves out of the Tem
ple? A
Aid would He not have an eye, as
wn nn the vountr ministers of to-
iiav to ce whethet .ey were being
trained as He trained those 12 orig
inal pupils in His inimitable semeina
rv? Would He allow His .modern
apostles to focus their whole souls
for four years on two detunct lan
guages and such abstractions as exe
gis, dogmatcis, apologetics, homilet
ics, pedagogy, and pastoral theology?
It is certain that He Himself could
have paed a perfect examination in
these matters?
Or wou!.! He have His young pu
pils c me to know, through and
thMnyh. t.f whole man, in health and
in alone and among the
lirowd? Would He not found a new
Isort of seminary to-day taking His
! students into the thick of life, to show
them the far-reaching effects of her
ledity and environment; how character
is influenced by functional and or
j ganic disease, and by such social for
ces as neighborhoods, schools, facto
ries, and clubs?
Would He not lead His classes to
'such laboratories as the swat-shop,
jthe saloon, the dancehall, and the
ibrothel? Would He not have them
j study the labor union, the apartment-
hopse, the farm, the theatre, the de
partment store, the press, the corpor
ation, and the political club; and cor
rective agencies, like the prison, the
matory, the playground; as well
as educative ones, like the school, the
college, the library, and the public
press?
Two of our worthy citizens, whom,
for the reason that we do not want to
bp personal, we will call Smith and
Jones, had a wordy contest on the
street the other day.
Smith is very proud of his wisdom
in management of his affairs on the
farm in keeping everything up-to-date,
and he never tires of telling hi
friends about it. Yesterday he met
Jones and began to indulge in his fa
vorite topic. His neighbour Jones cut
him short and took him by surprise
by saying, "See here, Smith, you mrfkc
me very tired. You are continually
bragging about your good business
management and judgment, but 1
think you are the worst manager and
have the poorest judgment of any man
I know of." Before he could recover
from his surprise. Jones continued:
"You are continually bragging about
keeping everything up-to-date. I just
advise you some day to go into your
kitchen and take a look at that old
rack of a stove your wife is using. It
is burning twice the fuel necessary,
and is wearing out her life and nerves
trying to get along with something
that belongs to the 18th century.
You kick when your meals are not
ready, or because the bread and bis
cuits are burned, but if you wouH
just let a little of your good business
economy and fine management you
talk about reach to your kitchen, you
would buy one of those latest South
Bend Malleables. I will bet you a
new hat, Smith, you would not talk
to me any more about a disordered
stomach or late dinners and such
like, and you would find your wife
would have a smile that would never
come off, the genuine Malleable
South Bend smile.
"I would advise you to take in th
exhibit at Foard & Stokes Hardware
Company. The South Bend man is
there and will tell you more about
his range In five minutes that I could
in an hour. It'sNill right, Smith, take
my word for it. If you are good, they
will give you some of their hot bis
cuits and coffee and a beautiful little
cook book and useful souvenir to take
home to your wife."
