O) She gnilj Sstwiam ASTORIA. OREGON: Fit ID AY. AUGUST 5. 1SS7 THE WATERWAY CONVENTION. The representatives from various parts of Oregon and "Washington who have been in session in this city in the Columbia "Waterway Convention, have concluded their labors, and this morning return to their homes. ""Welcome the coming, speed the parting guest" Astoria hopes that their stay, brief though it has been, by the pleasant shores of the sea has been one of pleasure, and that they bear with them none but pleasant remembrances of their sojourn at the gateway of the greatest river of the west "What good is done?" ""What prac tical work accomplished?" has been asked. That depends on two things, the meed of expectation and the amount of "good" possible to accomplish. That much "good" must necessarily result from the meeting of represen tative men from all parts of the Co- lumbia basin, goes without saying. There is, probably, not a man who at tended this session, or feat as a spec tator, who does not know more now than he did before the convention. This is one of the direct and most beneficial results. Again, there is the spirit of unity, of fellowship, of com mon interest, of realization of com munity fellowship that pervades the mind, resultant from mental contact The practical good, the tangible re sult are not immediately visible. If a body like the Waterway Convention co aid meet and raise a large sum of money and "do something," "right away," probably, while that would &eem to be very practical, and the proper thing, yet it might turn out that there was not so much progress being made after all. The subject under discussion by thi3 body is so vast a ene: it concerns so many peeple: it is in the thoughts of so many minds: it affords so inter esting a field for hypothesis, theory and generalization, that it is, of neces sity, very slow to crystallize into any tliing like shape. Tbe inception of this convention was a long step forward in the direc tion ot a free river: its several ses sions are all strides in the same direc tion, ana it L only Aon ouo tjes a retrospective glance and sees by com parison how much has been achieved that it is loalized "what has been done?" There is one thing that The Asto rian would be glad to have borne in mind by all in and out of the conven tion who have at heart the interests of a free river: that constant effort, con tinued activity, uncoasing work, are required to accomplish desired re sults. It will be fourteen months to the nest meeting. The duties of the members do not cease when the con vention adjeurns: it is a body that is always in sessien: every member whether an officer or not needs to work, talk the matter up, help aid in securing sufficient finances to worthi ly and properly forward the "collec tion of statistics, the dissemination of information and other necessary work the must be done and cannot be done without money. There must be funds procured to enable those in whom is vested the trust of fulfilling the duties delegated to them, to see that these duties are properly carried out This is the business aspect of the matter, and as such we commend it to the earnest co-operation and affirmative action of every member of the associa tion, which is now permanently or ganized. Tiro News says that thus far the attempt to establish a Democratic daily newspaper in Portland has failed, and that a recent effort to raise $1,000 for such purpose was unsuc cessful. Ten times that sum would be needed to start it, and as much more to keep it going. In starting newspapers, as in other things, "talk is cheap," An End to Bono Scraping Edward Shepherd, of Ilarrisburg, 111., says: "Having received so much bene fit from Electric Bitters, 1 feel it my duty to let suffering humanity know it Have had a mnning sore on my leg for eight years; my doctors told me 1 would have to have the bone scraped or lee amputated. 1 used, instead, three bot- wes ol j&Hxinc xmiers aim seven ooxes Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and my leg is now sound and well.1 Electric Bitters aie sold at fiffcv cents a footlK and Bucklen's Arnica Salve at I5e. per box by w.

Try Fabre's celebrated pan roast SERENADE AND SPEECHES Last Evening in Front of the Occident. Shortly after dark yesterday even ing the Eepublican club of Astoria stationed the Western Amateur band in front of the Occident and gave Oregon's congressional delegation a serenade. In response to loud calls, after several pieces of music had been rendered, Hon. C. W. Fulton intro duced senator J". N. Dolph. who, step ping to the front, said that he could with great reason compliment Astoria on its solid advancement. He sketched briefly Astoria's history, spoke of the waterway convention and the evident good resulting there from, and from that went on to deliv er a speech that was good to hear: it was an American speech; treated of our public domain, which must be preserved for actual settlers, of our posromce system, it never ueing me true intent of government to make the mail carriage a source of revenne, but rather should be so -arranged that all should have the utmost mail facilities, and spoke eloquently on the necessity for coast defenses. He showed clearly and succinctly the need of coast defenses, the wisdom of fostering and encouraging Ameri can shipbuilding, American commer cial supremacy and adequate prepar ation for possible trouble. "Peace," said the senator, "is the dream of philosophers, but war is the history I of mankind." He carried his audience with lum, and when he spoke of manifest desti ny and the need for assertion of tbe Monroe doctrine regarding the Sand wich Islands ho was cheered again and again. His plea for tbe Nica ragua canal was cogent and forcible, and when he bid his audience good night it was amid tumultuous ap plause. Senator John H. Mitchell was next introduced. When the applause had subsided sufficiently for liim to be heard he began by recouutiug his personal experience and heartily thanking Astoria for the share it had in placing him iu his pres ent position. In fitting and feel ing terms ho made allusion to events that justified the faith he had in men and motives and congratulated Asto ria upon her favorable situation. Astoria is fortunate in haviug but one obstruction to unlimited ocean commerce, the bar once improved to the extent contemplated by the gen eral government, it would rise to a degree of growth and prosperity of which the seashore oities of the old and new world were the fitting proto type. Tbe improvement of tbe bar was not essentially an Astoria pro ject; it was something needed by the inland empire, by evory citizen in the Columbia basing it was one of the world's great waterways and should have the same attention from the federal government that Franco, Ger many and Hussia wore giving their great rivers, spending millions that the cost of transportation might be made less onerous to the producer. Our timid governmental policy should be discarded for a froer, more lavish expenditure of public money for such pnblic needs, and the great four hundred million dollar surplus in the United States treasury bo made less that the people bo benefitted. This the people should demand, and the senator demonstrated conclusive ly by facts and figures that in no way could the burdens of a producing people be more easily and speedily lightened than by the removal of such obstructions as at present ex isted to unrestricted navigation of the Columbia river. His remarks throughout were received with ap plause. A most pleasing speaker, perfectly conversant with his subject, at times eloquent and always clear and forcible, he presented to the audience the need of the time and argued that as population and pro duction tincreased, so in proportion increased the necessity for improve ment of the river, and that the people were to be justined m loud ana re peated demands for national recogni tion of their importance in this sec tion. Ho closed amid hearty cheers. Congressman Dinger Hermann was called for and in response made a neat speech. In response to the greeting that was bestowed upon Or egon's congressman he in graceful terms expressed his acknowledgment and said that utilizing every possible hour of his vacation from congres sional duties at Washington, he was making a tour of the entire state, lis tening to every suggestion, examin ing every section and finding out in every way possible, the wishes, opin ions and necessities of the people of Oregon. The sole representative of 300,000 people in the house of repre sentatives, he felt that itwas his duty to do this, and in the course of his journey he was now in Astoria. Touching in a graphic and interest ing manner on various topics of pub lic interest, he spoke in detail of the great salmon industry of the Colum bia river and said that he had given the subject considerable attention, which was evident from the intelli gent tenor of his remarks. He said that before "leaving Washington Prof. Spencer Baird had told him that it was his intention this summer to either come in person or send a com petent substitute to the Columbia to visit and make observation of the dif ferent suedes of salmon, the question of traps, gill nets, seines, wheels, etc, and examine and report regarding the entire matter. Regarding bar improvement and river and harbor improvements for Oregon, congressman Herman made extended mention of the effort to secure liberal appropriations in the last congress, which effort was thwarted only by the refusal of the president to sign the bill, and ex pressed a hope that a bill similar in construction and amount would meet a better and more deserving recep tion at the president's hands at the next session of the congress of the United States. Loud applause inter spersed and concluded his remarks. Ex-Gov. Z. F.Moody being called for camo forward and in a few re marks excused himself from any ex tended address by reason of the late ness of the hour. He was the recip ient of a flattering reception. Three cheers for the delegation and the state were given at the close and af ter some more music by the band, the audience dispersed. A PROBABLE BIG DEAL A Formidable Railroad Combination. New York Sun. "To-day's Btock market demonstra ted to an extent that the uncertainty regarding the outcome of tbe Balti more & Ohio deal was not the only factor representing speculation. Ah noted yesterday, there is a freer and more confident feeling now that the matter has ceased to be of publio in terest; at the same time there is an utter absence of incentives to specula tion. The impetus maybe supplied in the near future, as underneath the dull surface of the market a number of important plans 'are being ma tured. Perhap3 the most important of these and the one likely to develop soonest is that comtempianng a radical change in the management of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company. Tne common stock of tnis corooration has been in 'constant demand for a long time past, so much so that the ., price has not suffered, even when other stocks have yielded materially. The principal demand for the stock has been by a combination that is not now repre sented in the management This combination is composed of people who are largely interested in the Union Pacific road, and, of course, in its new leased property -Jthe Oregon Railway & Navigation company. This interest and the Oregon and Trans continental interest have been in ac cord for some time, as is evidenced by the lease of the Oregon Railway & Navigation property to the Union Pacific Unless their plans should be thwarted the combined Northern Pa cific holdings of the two interests mentioned will, at the approaching election of the Northern Pacific, elect a ticket from whioh tho names of a largo proportion of the present mem bers of the board will be misBing. This programme it carried out will bring into close and harmonious re lations three of tbe largest railroad systems of tho country, that is, the Union Pacific, Northern Pacific, and the Oregon companies. The scheme is even more comprehensive thnn that contemplated by Mr. Villnru, in that it includes tbe Union Pacific Of. its success there is little, if any, donbt. So far as tho Northern Pacific is concerned, one of tbe greatest ad vantages it will gain will be tbe sub stitution of a strong, harmonious and fraternally disposed management (or a contentious directory in whicb a disposition to sacrifice tbe best in terests of the company to personal enterprises has 'generally predom inated." Is Consumption Incurable? Read the follewing: Mr. C. H. Morris, Newark, Arlu says: "Was down with Abscess of .Lungs, and friends and phy sicians pronounced me an Incurable Consumptive. Began taking Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, am now on my third bottle, and able to oversee the work on my farm. It is the finest medicine ever made." Jesse MIddlewart, Decatur, Ohio, says: "Had It not been for Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumptien I would have died of Lung Troubles. Was given up by doctors. Am now in best of health." Try it.

Unnecessary Misery. Probably as muoh misery comes from habitual constipation as from any derangement of tbe functions of tbe body, and it is difficult to cure, for the reason tbat no one likes to take tbe medicines usually pre scribed.
