"SEEK, AND YE SHALL FIND I"
The Morning Astorian has alys
had a cheerful word and quiet hope
in the matter of boring for oil and
gat in this county; there is ample
proof of the existance of one. or both
to make the problem manifest, and
the solving of the problems of life
and place constitute the best of man's
work in this weary old world. If we
had no fascinating problems our en
ergies would die of inanition and we
would pass, without history, to the
bourne to which all animals are sup
posed to drift
It is an excellent thing that Clatsop
has the signs that warrant the full
effort in this direction; there has
been a steadfast faith in the oil and
gas promises cropping out here; a
faith that is likely to mature to reali
zation of the largest range and qual
ity; and any well directed effort to
fathom the truth of the alluring mys
tery will be watched and welcomed
with all the good will in the world.
And those whose courage and sense
make for the final revelation should
reap handsomely from the venture
No one will begrudge them the limit
of their findings, (unless it be the
Standard Oil Company,) and the
launching of another great industrial
field here will enchance every other
value we possess.
Go to it, gentlemen! and may you
speedily realize that you have anoth
er gauge on fortune!
THE SPRING GRIND
We have passed the winter here in
Astoria without any grave losses or
startling discomfitures of any sort in
a business way; the cheerless months
are gone, and we are face to face with
the gTacious days of spring and sum
mer and free to make the most of the
sure developments they bring on their
warm breath and energizing bright
ness. The old life-grind is pretty
much the same at all seasons so far
as its exactions are concerned, but
there is an elemental freedom that
comes with light and comfort and
warmth and weather that does not
hamper and hinder and discourage.
Astoria has no great sacrifice to
report; she is all well, and better, off
than she was last year and has more
promises for the year than were hers
last spring; her industries are all
sound and solid; her businesses are
all here and ready for the Iivest of
her seasons; she has more people,
more wealth, more reason for pride
and thrift and active effort, than ever
before and can face the new season
with an equal show with any of her
sister, cities in the Northwest. This
is the spring spirit, and it dwells here
in. abundant force, an asset and a
credit of no small value when prompt
ly and properly used.

OUR POLICE COMMISSION
There is to be a full board of the
Astoria Police Commission session
this evening, and it is hoped that the
question of "unfinished business" will
not be altogether ignored when the
Commission shall have disposed of
the Abercrombie-Linville-Debeau in
quiry, which, of course, takes prece
dence at this particular session. The
board has dallied with the matter of
the appointment of a chief-of-police
for Astoria so long, that there ia a
suspicion that it will never be broach
ed again, despite the legal necessity
for the creation of such an officer in
the despatch of municipal affairs. The
present condition operates as an in
justice to the board, the city and the
acting-chief, and should-be amended,
at least, in deference to the proper
conduct of all civic business, and the
determination of the real status anl
authority of that particular officer.
If for once politics can be shunted,
and real municipal business given
right-of-way. perhaps the solution of
this matter would not be so difficult
or hazardous as it seems; at any rate
the people would like to see some
thing done that means something for
their protection and interests.
WING SHOTS
That tariff-joker we have with us
always. It is ubiquitous, elusive, dim,
hard to find; but it is always there:
And when it is found, at some critical
juncture in the course of legal term
ing of the bill later on, it will be
found to be undetachable as usual,
and quite as effective as any otbt-r
particular feature of the law. Dont
imagine for an instant that the "jo
ker" has been forgotten or mis-placed
it is exactly where it will be found
when it is wanted by those who de
signed and fixed it!
'Little Wilhelmina". th
of the Dutch, is soon to become a
mother, and the whole world, outside
the diplomatic ranges, is hoping it
may be a son and prince, that his
j gracious young mother and her de
voted people may live long and hap
pily, free from the danger of absorb
tion by the "powers" that inherit the
"kingdom in default of a male heir!.
We approve the policy of the Gov
ernment in making the appointees of
the census bureau subject to the
rules of the Civil Service Commission.
It should have been done years ago,
ami saved the bureau many a dis
graceful scandal, and, perhaps, ac
complished far better results than
have ever been attained.
The French have deported the
bumptious Cipriano from the shores
of Martinique in his pajamas; this
was probably a concession" to the
polite amenities in general and to the
delicate sensibilities of the sailors on
board the steamship that carried the
"man of destiny" away from there.
He is, without exception, the most
ridiculous figure in modern affairs,
and one that will never mend either
his own nor his country's reputation
in the eyes of the laughing and sneer
ing world.
The State of Oregon is not to be
pacified with any white-washing rf
the hazing outrage at Eugene. The
matter will be forgotten far sooner if
the young men engaged in the fatal,
unmanly, hazing stunt, are properly
punished and the great school absolv
ed from the reek of their folly as far
as it may be. The plea of youth may
be in-voked only to a certain pass; be
yond that point, toleration ceases to
account for raw brutality.
People past middle life usually have
some kidney or bladder disorder that
saps the vitality, which is naturally
lower in old age. Foley's Kidney
Remedy corrects urinary troubles,
stimulates the kidneys, and restores
strength and vigor. It cures uric acid
troubles by strengthening the kidneys
so they will strain out the uric acid
that settles inthe muscles and joints
causing rheumatism. Owl Drug Store,

wounds on her head, staggered for

JAPAN'S FIRM GRIP
Her Intention I To Control
ways of Manchuria.
Rail-
WASHINGTON. April 12.-The
intention of Japah to control the rail
ways of Manchuria as completely as
those In Japan itself is indicated in
the dispatches fromFormer Ambas
sador Luke F.. Wright sent to the
State Department in 19(16 and which
were made public today.
The Japanese government subscrib
ed to one half of Hie stock of the
South Manchurian Railway Company.
The remaining half was divided
among Japanese subjects and the
government, and subjects of China,
thus insuring a preponderating por
tion of the stock in Japanese hands.
Mr. Wright pointed out that the Jap
anese claim that the restriction of the
sale of shares to the two nationalities
was insisted upon by China.
SHOT GUN CONTEST
Chicago And Kansas-City In Long
Distance Contest.
CHICAGO, April 12.-Chicago
shotgun experts defeated a Kansas
City team in a telegraph match yes
terday, the local marksmen compet
ing at the Chicago Union Club and
their opponents at Blue River Park
in Kansas City. Scores were ex
changed by wire and Chicago came
out on top, 419 to 361 out of a pos-
ible 500 targets.
High winds affected the scores of
both teams.
Team shoots by Telegraph are to
be made a feature by Secretary Fred
Teeplc of the local club, from now on,
as interest in the sport is rapidly de
veloping on account of the grand
American, which is to be held here
Ihis year. One match is set with in
Indiana team for April 24, and an
other with Milwaukee for Aoril 25.
Five men on a side will shoot in the
Indiana contest.
COSTLY BRIDAL GIFT
A $1,000,000 Manson For A Pittsburg
Young Woman.
PITTSBURG. April 12. William
N. Frew, the wealthy personal repre
sentative of Andrew Carnegie in Pit
tsburg, is building a mansion as a
wedding present to his daughter Vir
ginia Frew, whose engagement to
Thurston Wright, a young bank clerk
formerly of St. Louis, has just been
announced.
The house will cost, it is estimated,
about $1,000,000. This brings about
the report that wealthy Pittsburg res
idents, having noted that a number of
rich young people have deserted this
city to live in New York, have enter
ed into some sort of agreement to
erect houses for their'children as they
marry, also offering them other in
ducements to remain in Pittsburg. On;
of the first to take up this idea was
Mrs. Darlington. Another big house
has been built for Mrs. Hugh Laugh-
lin who was Misi Mariorie Rea of
Pittsburg.
WOMEN ON BASE BALL
I Frank Chances Wife Makes Some In
teresting Remarks.
CHICAGO, April 12, At the open
ing of the baseball season, Mrs. Frank
L- Chance, wife of the world's champ
ion's leader is out in an interview de
claring that it is upon women not
the flighty, volatile kind, but the
steady home variety that the future
of the National game depesds.
To prevent the game from becom
mg a rowdy pastime, only for bleach
ers full of men to watch, she believes
that more women should occupy seats
in the grand stand.
"If more women would forsake
bridge whist and pink teas sofa cush
ions and kimonas and turn out 'o
watch the cleanest sport in the world,
there would be more robustness an l
fairmindedness among our sex," said
Mrs. Chance. "If women would only
come out and expand their lungs to
the fresh air by 'rooting' for the home
team there would be less work for
the doctors."
The Human Appetite.
Of all the whimsical, shifting, unre
liable, treacherous, exacting things n
the world, the human appetite for the
right thing to eat Is, perhaps, the
most unreasonable and imperious.
There are those who humor it; oth
ers who defy it; and all men are more
or less inclined to treat it with -consideration.
To find a place where
these varying attitudes may be fos
tered, at the least cost in each case,
und yet keep the appetite in proper
and peaceful subjection, is always
desirable Information. One place that
is conceded as perfectly adapted t3
this, is the Palace Restaurant, just
opposite the Page building, on Com
mercial street, in this city. Try 't
once, and patronize it always; that is
the rule of the Palace.
