The bright, pleasant weather for the
past two days has had quite a tendency
to dry up the mud and make the streets
somewhat more passable than they have
been for some time. Before another
year passes some means should be taken
to havo better streets than we have at
present, ior Indeed they are enough to
make any resident blush for ehume.
The Board of Health of Astoria will in
the near future take steps towards tho

guard against the spreading of infection
as many us possible of them will be

After escaping tho dread diseaso fur

We havo received '.Everybody's Mag
aslne" for March which is rich in that
sort ol pleasant reading that combines
Instruction with quick and easy interest.
Among its contents Is an article en
titled "A Glimpse of the Germ World,"
by G. W. Wiuterburn, M. D., which
treats of bacteria and the enormous
amount of good they do humanity, tell
ing of their origin and labors In a fas
cinating way, imparting an astonish
ing amount of Information in a manner
which causes it to remain in ttie
matuory.
Practically nil the money necessary
for the scouring mill has been raised
and those who ba''e doubts may rest as
sured Hint it is an actual fact that we
aro to hnve a mill and it is to be built
and in readiness for this yeai's elip.
Everything lias developed to such an
extent that the machinery has been
ordered by telegiapii and will be here
as soon as it can be manufactured and
shipped. The location has not been
selected as yet but ae the committee has
the option of several different places
there is no liklihood of their being de
tained on that score.
How much of the prevailing idea of
the Afrikander character is due to the
habit which the newspaper artists have
of representing every Boer as wearing a
long, ragged beard? JnBtasan errone
ous idea of the American farmer has
been given to the people of the cities by
the pictures or Grangers wearing billy
goat whiskers on their chins, so the Im
pression has bsen created that the Trans
vanlere cannot be civilized human be
ings, because if they were they would
not wear those long, frayed-out beards.
But the beard, like many other ideas
entertained of the Boer, is mostly a De
ment of the imagination.
Eastern Oregon mining men are in
favor of the proposed smelter at Port
land, eays W. C. Cowgill, city editor of
the Baker City Republican, believing
that it will be a big thing for the mining
interests of the entire stale, and will
aid in securing special copper smelters
in the Baker territory. Much disap
pointment is telt at the action of Senator
Simon in introducing a bill for tho es
tablishment of a mint or assay oflice in
Portland, as it is believed that' will pre
vent the establishment ol an assay olllco
iu Baker, where one is greatly needed.
But our Chamber of Commerce has re.
doubled its efforts In that direction, and
we stil! have hopes.
The Shaw Co. will appear at the Bald

East Oregonlan makes the following
complimentary remark : "Sam T. Shnw
nsJoo Vernon, Louise Carter as Mrs.
Vernon, Mrs. Nellie Mamie Shaw ae
Liaboth Vernon, woto the strongest
characters in Tuesday night's play, "In
Mi.zura." The play is a series of
picturuH of Miesonri rural life. It is full
of comedy throughout, and good clean
comedy, too. The audience wns kept iu
a state of amusement during thu entire
performance by tho excellent work of
Mr. Shaw as Joe Vernon nnd the others
mentioned. The audience completely
tilled the house, even the box eeuts be
iug taken."
Jim Hill, of Groat Northern railroad
fame, personally states that he has con.
traded for a number of monster steam
ers, says the East Oregonlan, which,
when completed, will enable the Great
Northern railway to lay down a barrel
of Oregon or Washington flour in any
Oriental pert, from Puget Sound or
Columbia river ports, for fifty cents, and
Mr. Hill gives promise, if the Seattle
Times can be depended upon, to lay
down n barrel of Dakota flour in Orient
al ports, which means the principal ports
of China, Japan, Korea and some Rus
sian ports, at a cost not to exceed $1 25,
and Mr. Hill recently stated that Russia
could not lay down a barrel of flour at
Vlndivostock, the Russian senrort on
tho Pacific ocean, for less than $4.25. If
Mr. Hill succeeds in doing so much for
the farmers of Dakota, the Oregon farm
ers will be certain to share in the bene
fits.
The new town of Lawton which will
bo a rival of Sumpter and Grauite is
soon to have a newspaper. The first
thing in a new and progressive town is
always a paper, which used to advantage
will always bring good results to all con
nected with it in any manner. From the
La Grande Chronicle we tako the fol
lowing: "Frank G. Hull has three and
one-half tons of newspaper materials at
Sumpter, and also a ton and a half of
paper. He went over Tuesday morning
and will proceed from Sumpter to
Lawtcn, where he will establish a paper,
the pioneer one of the new town, at the
forks of Clear and Granite creeks. Mr.
Hull has the lumber all hauled and on
the ground, and waits only for the sur
veyors to establish the lines so that tho
exact location of the bnilding may be
determined, when be will have the work
men commence the work of erection. In
ten days thereafter, Mr. Hull expects to
have the etructure ready for occupancy,
and the new paper will be issued at once.
During the intervening time, he will live
in a tent and keep warm with a roaring
fire in an airtigiit stove.
NEW ENTERPRISES.
Capital Should He IntreU-(l In a Fruit
and Vegetable Cannery.
Now that the wool scouring plant is
an assured fact nnd our citizens are de
termined to make it a Euccees, why not
look forward to other enterprises. We
are situated in one of the best fruit and
vegetable raising sections in the stat.
Why not interest capital in a cannery
that wouid utilize our surplus products?
Other places are putting forth iuducQ
ment? and if welet slipour opportunities
we will have to bear the brunt of otir
oversight or neglect. Relative to a
cannery at Walla Walla the Union says;
"Stockholders of the new cannery to
be erected in a short time, held a meet
ing in Dr. N. G. Blalock'e oflice yester
day afternoon and discussed plans for
operation. It was decided to go ahead
with incorporation and after the papers
had been filed proceed at oncu witli the
construction of a suitable building and
purchase of such machinery as may be
needed.
"The opening for a cannery is so al
luring that it is surprising capital has
not entered the field before, and success
and large returns will undoubtedly be
the portion of the company just formed.
The preliminaries, as to name, etc., have
not bean agreed upon but that it is a
consideration when the incorporation
papers are drawn up.
"Tho men who are interested in the
new cannery project aro practical fruit
men and have a thorough knowledge of
the handling of fruit. They know what
quantities go to waste eacti year and
realize what profits are to be gained by
the saving of the product."
