ill K. fo gjatttj Hjusfotfmt. ASTORIA. OREGON: TUESDAY-.. .-SEPTEMBER IS. 1SS7 "YOU ARE INTERESTED." Is tho title of a pajnphlet just is sued by the U. S. & Brazil S. S. Co., bhowiug why the American flag is be ing driven off the seas by third-rate nations; showing how the products of our mines, our forests and our fields, which ought to be employed in build ing and freighting these ships, are un used, and why our laborers, median ics, seamen and merchants, who should be occupied in building and sailing and supplying them, are idle; showing how steam lines build up their respective countries, just as rail roads build up their termini, and how our merchants and manufacturers can never expect to get their share of the world's trade until they have reg ular and frequent steam cemmunica: tion such as their competitors have. One American merchant appreciates this, and patriotically invested 100, 000 in an American line to Brazil, be cause, as he expressed it, it was "a .shame that American merchants should he obliged to send their letters to South America via Liverpool." He has since accepted the presidency of tho line without pay, and is en deavoring to prove that Americans have sense enough to do as their sue cessful competitors for the world's trade do, and as Americans them selves do on land pay a fair price for mail service whether the postage on any particular route meets the ex pense or not That man is H. K. Thurber, and tho pamphlet above mentioned is largely composed of a report to him upon the working of the Spanish mail steamship contracts which went into operation a few monthB ago. We are interested, and so is every good American and every good busi ness man, who sees the folly of a rich and prosperous nation of sixty mill ions of people, possessing five thous and miles of sea coast and mamifacto ries enough to supply the world, be ing without a commercial marine. The people of Pennsylvania are soon to pass upon the method of pro hibition as a means of regulating the liquor traffic A proposed amendment to the constitution is to be voted upon which prohibits the manufacture, sale or keeping for sale of intoxicating liquor, to be used as a beverage, and makes the same a misdemeanor to bo punishable as may be provided by law. The amendment, however, pro vides that the manufacture, sale -or keeping for sale of liquor, to bo used for other purposes than as a beverage, may be allowed under regulations to be prescribed by the legislature. Just whaCare the prospects for the adoption of this amendment is too soon to conjecture, though they are looked on as favorable. Judging from a re cent judicial interpretation of the word "beverage" in New York, how ever, the amendment is not free from ambiguity, and might be held to per mit many sales of liquor which thor oughgoing prohibitionists cannot be expeoted to approve. It was held by the general term of the New York su preme court, as will be remembered, that liquor supplied with meals is not supplied "as a beverage." The Astobian suggests that in tak ing subscriptions to the subsidy fund, that "every little helps." A $25 sub scription and a 850 subscription, when added to a good many mora make a respectable sum. The more people that are interested in this thing the better, and while it would be fine, no doubt to have the whole amount sub scribed off hand, and at once, yet we believe that it would be n good idea to make this matter a popular move; get everybody in; get as many as possible interested; don't neglect the 3100 subscriptions or $10 sub scriptions in looking after those who "ought" to sign for considerably larger amounts. This thing is going to win, but those of us who want to see it win must not "let up," and one good way, in our judgment, to make it successful is to get as many to sign as can be reached. The New York Commercial Ad vertiser, reviewing the career of the united labor leader in that city, says: "Henry George has come out about S50,000 ahead on his warfare on mo nopoly. At thiB time last year he was not worth 310,000, now he is said to have 360,000 or 370.000. He has a very pretty house on a pleasant ave nue, in a fashionable suburb, and lives quite in the style of those bloated monopolists whom he de nounces so freely. His books, which had a comparatively small sale before he ran for mayor, have brought in $23,000, to 330JOOO in the last month. He also makes money from his paper, the Standard, which was established on the basis of celebrity he gained in the mayoralty contest In fact, the improvement in George's finances is due directly to his crusade against poverty." In the statement of the commis sioner of the land office showing the number of acres of land restored to tho public domain under the secreta ry of the interior's order revoking certain Indemnity withdrawals for the benefit of certain railways and wagon roads, appear the followingroads in tho Nerthwest: 1,000,000 acres have been restored in California from the California & Oregon railroad; 12,000 acres from The Dalles military road in Oregon; 250,000 acres from the Northern Pacific in Oregon; 1,800,000 acres from the Oregon & -California road in Oregon, and 3,800,000 acres from the Southern Pacific in Califor nia. A "Scoop" for the "World." Enterprising reporters will do most anything nowadays. Ever since the yacht Thistle, which is tontest the America cup with the volunteer, ar rived from Scotland, the great ques tion has been, how is Iherlkeel built The captain would give no hint; the orewwas dumb; the yaoht was not dry docked, and all New York wanted to know if the Thistle had a center board or not. The World, an enter prising New York newspaper, solved the problem. Last Thursday night a reporter and artist for the World, ac companied by a diver, went ont in a small sIood to where the yacht lay at anchor, and despite a vigilant watch on deck the diver succeeded m uiak ine two descents and obtaining fully the cut of the keel. The result shows that the general plan of tho Thhtle below water is much more like the American sloop than tho English cutter. She has a groat deal more bilge, and is more cut away forward than the latter. On tho other hand she is larger at her garboards than the American type, and of course has much more depth. Indeed, in gen eral aspect, the midships section is more than a trifle suggestive of the Volunteer. Oregon To Be "Cat Loose." Omaha, Sept. G. General Lucius Pairchild, commander-in-chief of tho G. A. R., arrived in Omaha to-day to attend the annual reunion of tho sol diers and sailors of Nebraska, which opened to-day with 7,000 in attend ance. In answer to the questien: "What is the present condition of the Grand Army of tho Republic? " Gen eral Fairchild said: "It was never in a better condition before. The mem bers are firm and stand together with a will, and there aro no differences in the organization. Last year we re ceived over 40,000 new members, and during the last quarter there have been over 12,000 new men added to the rolls. Nebraska's organization is increasing faster than any of the oth er departments, having increased 12, 200 during the last quarter. I have just mado Idaho a distinct depart ment, cutting it looso from Utah. Or egon will becut loose this week. This state has heretofore been associated with California. I have also attached the new Alaska organization to the Washington territory department. They are now talking of forming a department in Colorado. I don't know nnything about the picture epi sode in this city, and I am not talk ing much about battle-flags nowa days." h Three Favorites Have the following to soy of Wis dom's Bobertino, the great benutifier and preserver of the complexien: Pobtland, Or., Jane 4, 1837.

Five boats entered the Paragon, Fleetwing, Idlewild, Wideawake and Tiptop. The wind was westerly and very fresh, so that the boats could sail around the course almost without tackmc. Great speed was made from the turn loose, and if things had held together there would have been a very fine race. But the Wideawake and the Idlewild twisted off their rudder posts, and the Paragon, when about two lengths ahead, running square before the wind and fairly burying herself, carried away her mast about ten feet from the top and became a dead duck in the pool, and the Fleet- wing on the home stretch oapsized. so tne Tiptop Had a walk-over, and won the raee and the first prize. The seoond prize will be contested for next Sunday by the other four boats. when it is to be hoped that there may not oe eucn neavy weather on the Willamette. Oregonian, 12. Is Consumption Incurable?
