The reduction of 10 cents per hun dred pounds on all commodities bound for the Pacific Coast, ordered by the Interstate Commerce Commis sion on Monday last is a significant bit of news for Astoria, since it in dicates a sharp interest in this sec tion that has not always been mani fest in that realm of authority, and bears promise that the extraordinar ily unjust discrimination that has existed against this city and port in the matter of grain rates, may be fa vorably considered and disposed of in response to the present plea for the "common-point" now before the Commission at the instance of the Farmers' Union of the Inland Em pire. It has been claimed for the rail roads that they were not bound to grant the common-point rate on . grain to any terminal that was not ' recognized as a grain shipping point; and not then unless that port sooght the application of the rate. And these sophistical rules were held against us not altogether at the in stance of the railroads, but at the behest of the commercial influences exercised by Portland, Seattle and Tacoraa, and are yet in force largely upon this premise. It is one of these inequities that looms large when it is understood by the general public and we are of the opinion that now it is in the open light of prescriptive review, at the hands of the sole source of rem edy, it will be treated as all indis putable injustices are usually treated The Interstate board has done an immense amount of good work in the past few years, and "there is an incalculable lot of it still to do in cluding the extension of the grain rate to this harbor and terminal on the Pacific There is something significant, also, in the fact that the sum of re duction directed in Monday's order. 10 cents per hundred, corresponds admirably with the sum of the differ ential we are seeking to have remov ed in our case now pending at Wash ington; and the substance of this new reduction may be safely construed to apply to the universal "commodity' of grain, than which there is no other more commanding feature on the list of commadities that we know of. The order of Monday becomes effective June 1st MONUMENTS AT A BIG REDUCTION Dunne the months of April and Mav a reduction of 35 per cent will be made on monuments and tomb- stones at Oscar Laurels Monument Worlr. 1105 Franklin avenue f corner Works, 119S Franklin avenue (corner 26th street).

The decision of Judge Gantenbein that the term "waters of the Colum bia river" docs not include the Wil lamette river, is to sav the least of it extremely far-fetched, if not a bit inspired. It is so radically at vari ance with every conception of what constitutes a great and essential stream such as this, with its naviga ble and productive utilities, as to give canse for r. very general doubt of his abilitv. to construe the law without some extraneous "hunch" that might be deprecated if it were only known- B this decision the court has di vested the Oregon Fish Commission of the very cream of its authority to protect the fish and fishermen of the State? nd wrouirht the most fantas tic geographical absurdity recorded inre ennrts were established. " He has dispelled the basic principle of the natural accumulation of the wat ers of the earth, and out every river jupon a plane of its own and utterly distinct, independent and immune from the tributaries that make and maintain it. It is a wonderful decis ion and will be bandied about for vein to cornel as one of the exauis ite humors for which the courts are resnnnsihle at lone intervals. The Willamette rtver and its peo ole are flatly eliminated from the reach and operation of the fishing statutes of the State and made free to indulge any and all extra vairances in thr initnstrv. irresoective of every decent and "honest effort to conserve it at other and correlated points in the State: they are exempted from ' every rule that applies to the main tenance of a trade and traffic that is invaluable and for which immense sums have been expended in protec tion and improvement; they may use what method, season, jnarket, they please, in pursuit of salmon and it nrofits. without reeard to the reservations imposed upon every other croup and territory involved in the businesses; and are made the vehicle for casting further confusion and disaster upon an in dnstrv already overcharged with tumult and inspired disorder. The only hope left for the salmon trade of the State of Oregon lies in the in stant and aggressive appeal from the absurd and chaotic ruling alluded to in some court less amenable to local suggestion.

When the skin of an eczema suf ferer itches and burns in untold agony, do you know what is going on within the pores of that skin? ' Myriads of microscopic animals are gnawing at the flesh, breaking down the fine cells and causing fes ters, thick scales and that terrible itch. The germs multiply faster than Nature can throw them off. Now, there is only one way to get rid of these germs they must bt killed in their lodging places. Dos ing the stomach or trying to cure the blood will" not, of course, kill the germs, and that is why all the blooj remedies fail in eczema; that is also why salves which do not penetrate can do no permanent good. Ordinary oil of wintergreen prop erly comnounded in liauid form will penetrate the pores of the skin and kill the eczema germs. If properly mixed with thvmol, elvcerine and other ingredients (as in D. D. D. Prescription) this wash will build up the tissue of the skin and promote its healthv growth, civinc Nature a chance, while killing the germs fast- ter than they can multiply.

So soon aa thy are old enough many of the Norwegian boys loare tholr country and go to make their HOBWSOUM MimiMI AND B4BT. living on the sea. Ou the shlpa of all nations there are many Norwegian teamen. On our own ships there are far more Norwegian and Swedish sail ors than American. While the men are away at sea the women and children are left at borne to do the, farming and tend the lira stock. Considerable of this live stock consists of herds of domesticated rein deer. There are not now many wild reindeer left In Norway. Oats, hay. rye. barley aud potatoes are tha chief crops. All the world over where things are difficult to do Intelligent people think bard to find out the best and easiest way to do them. This Is the case with Norwegian farming. It Is hard to make yTlrtulug pay In Norway, so the people studied the best way to till their little fields. They got agri cultural machinery, too. and so far as their scanty soil products go they have the name of being the most intelligent farmers lu Kuroie. Women and chil dren tend tLe cows.

They are strong and very healthy, as well as courageous and la telllgent. ' No Lightning Thare.
