1 STAND BY ASTORI ANSI
There are things doing in behalf of
Astoria among the "big fry" that go
far to stiffen the courage of this peo
ple, if they will only stand by with a
cheerful, receptive, expectant, willing
attitude that becomes a community
to which the best fortune of its hist
ory is rapidly bending. This is a
preparatory season, as tt were, for
several great developments in 1910;
there is no longer any doubt about it;
the word of assurance is abroad in
the land, and its echo, faint, yet cer
tain, is reaching us irora all side;
the bigger of our local corporate
establishments are figuring cleverly
to meet the new access and profit bv
it; men of influence and responsibility
have ceased to talk disparagingly of
conditions and are significantly silent
and significantly busy: the Govern
ment, itself, is projecting a course of
improvements in its several depart
. menu at the mouth of the river, that
speak plainly of a newer import in
, that direction; the port is far more
prominent in the . coast perspective
than it has been for years, and it is
fast approaching a series of commer
cial, industrial and maritime develop
ments that, if properly and promptly
met by our people, will fix it fast in
the van of expansion and safe from
all retrograde movement in the fu
ture. ,
It does no harm to re-iterate; there
fore we suggest a few of the things
that are prolific of promise when they
are studied out carefully and made to
figure as features of indicative value;
The Hammond Lumber Company U
spending thousands of dollars in am
plifying its milling facilities and dock
age, at Tongue Point; and this con
cern is in control of the finest body
of virgin timber standing next to us
on the south: The Astoria ' Electro
Company, the one strong concern
dealing with the essentials of light
and power in this section, is remod
delling and reorganizing its business,
with a view to extending its lines east
with a view to extending h
interest and operations. The fight
for the common-point rate on grain
to this port is well underway before

there are plenty of lesser local mat
ters of importance. And taken en
masse, there is plenty of encourage
ment and promise to the man of As
toria who can mix his faith with hi;

gradual working out of the program.

AIDS TO NAVIGATION.
According to Captain Pond, inspec
tor of this lighthouse district, much
will be done this summer in installing
additiona 1 aids to navigation in
Alaska waters, notwithstanding that
the congressional appropriation falls
far short of what is needed and will
not be sufficient to do more than to
supply the less expensive aids, leav
ing nothing whatever to cover the
larger projects which have the ap
proval of the lighthouse board.
Captain Pond has recommended 92
distinct aids to navigation, including
four first-class light and signal sta
tions and one other lighthouse, for
which no provision has been made by
congress as yet. The work of the
lighthouse board in selecting the
proper places for establishing new
aids was so well and thoroughly
done that the Masters and Pilots'
Association of this city approved
every one and had no suggestions of
changes to be made.
The work to be done this summer
will tend somewhat toward improving
conditions in northern waters, but
will still leave much to be desired in
that neglected quarter. Probably no
where else in the civilized world is
there as extensive and valuable a
commerce, carried by as many vessels
in inland waters, where so little has
been done to aid navigation, and
where such long chances of imperil
ing life and property have therefore
to be taken as a necessary incident
to navigation.
taken as a necessary incident to navi
gation. There is progressive improvement
in conditions, but it is hard to secure
adequate appropriations by congress.
It is a regrettable fact that the Ca
nadian waters on this route are far
better provided with aids to naviga
tion than is the case with the waters
lying wholly within the jurisdiction
of the United States Seattle P. I.

TALK TO TEACHERS ON
OL HYGIENE
INTERESTING ADDRESS GIVEN
BY DR. RBAMES BEFORE
THE INSTITUTE.
At the se$ion of the teachers' in
stitute on Friday morning Dr. Clara
Reames read an address on scluvri
hygiene, and contagions diseases in
the public schools, and it was listen
ed to with much interest by the in-
stitute. It was voted that the address
be published in the State Educational
journal, and herewith is presented
portion
of the interesting disseru-
tion:

just the same as the heart enlarges
when a continued and extra amount
of work is expected of it. The en
largement of the tonsils finally acts
as a mechanical hindrance to the in
take of pure air, and the result is ,
deficient supply of oxygen for the
blood, arid soon we have the picture
of the child with a pale face, open
mouth, short upper lip. flat nose, im-
pairment of hearing, mental defic-j
iency and the predisposition to Pneu-:
monia and Tuberculosis and an easy
victim for diphtheria.
Of course these conditions also re-j
suit from poor home hygiene, but th?
possibility of the schoolroom being
responsible for a fair share should
ever be borne in mind. '
The means of obtaining fresh air
when the system of ventilation is not)
up to the standard will rest with the i
ingenuity of the teachers. Perhaps
the old fashioned manner of a short
recess with calisthenics after the
windows are thrown open will serve
as well as any. There is always the !
objection of time and disorder, but if
a school house can be emptied of its j
occupants in t minutes in a hre drill. ;
certainly systematic drilling will al
low an interval of calisthenics in 5
minutes. The results are worth the
time in the long run.

matter of very great importance. AsiIy explained and the remedy needs

Some of the cherries on feminine

It seems to' be settled that there
will be no increase of duty on stock

sentiment follows tariff revision more
closely than in former years.
A bill for the extermination of rats
has been introduced in the British
Parliament, accompanied by the offic
ial statement that rats cost England
$75,000,000 a year. A chance to save
money on this scale is worth atten
tion anywhere.

teacher to so regulate the light that
much harm to the delicate, rapidly
growing eye may be averted- It has
been positively established by eareful
and extensive statistics that myopia,
or .short sight, is most frequently if
not exclusively developed during
school life This U due partly to the
fact that children have much strong
er power of accomodation than adults
and therefore hold objects more close
ly to the eye.
A child suffering with a succession
of styes may often lay the cause to
eye strain or poor light. The placing
of such a pupil in another scat or ad
justing the light will relieve the cause,
provided there are no other defects
in the eye. Headaches, perhaps better
expressed as browaches, may often
be caused by the straining of the eye

Sneezing directly upon the unpro

sowing broadcast disease. I think
; there are very few people who realize
what a stream, or, better cloud, of fine
particles containing bacteria and
other impurities arc discharged at a

SOon after the beginning of school, a

selves are aware of this and look for

no little anxiety.
The cause of this condition is eas-
rence of increased spread of contag

These cases in many instances attend
school before the danger of spreading
disearo is pa?t. As a result they are
the innocent carriers of disease.
Again, many parents are exceed
ingly carelefs regarding the health of
their children and overlook practic
ally everything except when attend
ed by such severe symptoms as to
cause alarm.
Whatever measures are necessary
to prevent the spread of contagious
diseases in the school, they must be
stringent enough to reach the most
'careless or ignorant parent of the
school.
The means to check this spread of
disease must evidently be directed to
ward an early detection of the disease.
Of necessity a great deal of this de
volves upon the teacher, who should
make medical inspection of the pupils
a daily routine habit. No child who
presents any of the evidences of an
acute illness should be allowed to re
main in school.
The teacher should have a working
knowledge of the various discasei,
contagious, and act promptly In all

"overlooked, No peeling of the skin,
especially of the palms, should be re

The duty at present is three cents

One of their principal arguments
that of reeeiprocation. In 1907, Den
mark purchased $23,384,989 worth of
American products, of which more
than $17,000,000 worth went into Den
