REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.
For Governor W. P. LOUD, of Marlon
county.
For Secretary of State II. It. KIN
CAID, of Lane county.
For State Treasurer PHIL. MET-
SCHAN, of Oranb county.
For Supremo Judge C. E. WOLVER-
TON, of Linn county.
For Attorney General C. M. IDLE'
MAN, of Multnomah.
For Superintendent of Public Instruc
tion U. M. I It WIN, of Union.
For State Printer W, II. LEEDS, of

For Member of Btato Hoard O. WIN
GATE, of Clatsop county.
The ticket which the Republicans
have presented 10 the voters of Clatsop
county for their support lias grown in
strength from the day It was named
It is a ticket that fills the Important re
quirement of commending Itself to
every farmer, every business man,
every taxpayer and every believer In
good and efficient county government,
and deserves the confidence and
praise of all, regardless of political con
nection. No Republican In the county need
look to either opposing tickets) expect
ing to find a better qualified candidate
for ony particular ofTlce, and It Is equal
ly certain that he can there find none
more worthy of his hearty and uncondi
tional support. Republicans should re
member with the present promising out
look for a railroad connection, the coun
ty of Clatsop may occupy the leudlng
and commanding place In the roll of
Oregon's counties before the close of
the term for which county officers are
to lie chosen at the coining election.
For the altnlnnient of the best results
and the encouragement of the most do
Hlrable form of development, It Is tmlls-
peiiBlble that the county lie olllcered
exclusively by Republicans thin time,
and advertised to the world as a Ropulv
llrnn county. This Is so obvious as a
mere cold-blooded business proixisltlon
that every thoughtful Democrat and
Populist will admit it, however he may
differ with the national organization on
economic questions. Republicans, there
fore, owe It to themselves and families
to vote tho straight ticket, nit hough it
may require somo sacrifice of personal
relation or Inclination to a candidate of
another kind. Sentiment Is all right In
Its proper place, but It Is surely out of
place In a campaign and election In
volving such unusually Imporluut In
terests na Clatsop county h:is now at
stake.
If the lopullsts could see the "bloated
bondholders" and "mortgage vampires'
they despise no much and abuse oo un
mercifully, tho sight might temper their
fierce resentments somewhat, If It did
not mako them altogether ashamed or
themselves. H Is not the Goulds and
Vunderbllm, the Rockefellers, or the
Carnegles wh send money to Oregon
and other Western states for Invest
ment. These men are. ami have beon
too farslghted to run any risks of that
sort, and besides they II ml more profit
able and less tame Investments for
their millions nearer home. It Is an
actual fact that the mortgage holdings
and Improvement bonds of the Western
Mates represent the Kit lent and toil
some saving of the mechanics, servant
girls, factory operative, seamstresses.
the widows and orphans ami superan
miated clergymen of Eastern stat.
orator and newspaper, and It Is these
people who have suffered the effects of
the defaulted interest and repudiated
debts encouraged and superinduced by
the calamity shrlckcrs of Oregon and
elsewhere. It is not a change in the
school text-book system that Oregon
needs so much as a wider diffusion of
the contents of said sc hool books among
a certain clement of her adult popula
tion. '
The railroad news contained in yes.
terday's Issue was amply confirmed by
developments during the day. There Is
no longer any doubt that Mr. Browne is
very much in earnest, and that he has
all tho necessary financial means be
hind him to carry out his plans. It is
understood that he and the subsidy
committee have practically reached an
understanding, and the prospect Is good
for an early resumption of work on the
old road. To many Hie Idea of follow
ing the old route has seemed the most
feasible and the one that promised the
best and most satisfactory results to
the town and country all the while. It
may be truly said the boundless possi
bilities of Astoria's future, with the
completion of this road, cannot now be
Imagined or foretold.
Unless some of the holes now exist
ing In the sidewalks und streets of As
toria have the attention of the proper
authorities without delay, the city may
have to defend some damage suits.
The eastern editors who have been on
a visit to Portland and the Sound have

JUST WHAT IT -NEEDS.
Tlnoi are the rvl . .:!.. ta of the m'?-
dl.'tions and diatribes of the Populist ind to fisherman the futility of a fog
The lighting of the mouth of the
Columbia river was the Bubject for dis
cussion by tho chamber of commerce at
a special meeting held Thursday night
to which were Invited the members of
Columbia River Harbor No. 22, Ameri
can Masters and Pilots' Association
Lieut. J. B. Bllsh, U. S. Navy, assist
ant lighthouse lnsjiector, was present at
tho request of the chamber to advise
with them. After the questions of th
advantages of such aids to navigation
and their necessity had been dwelt upon
nd decided to be of paramount Import
ance to the Columbia river, the dif
ferent plans of lighting the entrances
to seaports were considered und their
availability for our case discussed.
Range lights such as ure used at
many entrances have been unfavorably
reported upon by the lnsieetor and en
glnoer of this district, the objections
being
First Tho chaiiKiug of t-he positions
of the channel and bar are still going
on and might In a short time render
useless the established ranges.
Second The long distance from th
bar to the mainland In the direction o
he channel would necessitate these
ghts to l of the most powerful ordei
und consequently costly to build and
xpcnslvc to maintain.
Third. The curving of the chnnne
om Fort Stevens to the bar would re
ulre several ranges.
Fourth A distant range Is not suit
ble for the navigation of a bar when
the direction of the swell and tides must
determine the course to be steered In
crossing.
The use of lighted buoys, gas and
electric, such us are placed In New
York, Boston, and other harbors wna
not found to bo advisable, owing to the
facts
First That these methods are as yet
in an experimental stage.
Second The grout number that would
be required and the difficulty of distin
guishing ono from another.
Third That a vessel beforo crossing
could not know that the buoys were in
position und their lights burning.
Fourth The grent expense.
A scheme was then presented of a
light vessel inside of the bar, this
with two red sectors In Cape Disap
pointment light, ono marking the chan
nel across the bar and the other the
hannel up to Fort Stevens, was shown
upon the chart and met with the entire
approval of all present and the ueeia
ration of the bur pilots that with such
ii system of lighting the navigation of
the entrance to the river would be
as eBy and safe by night ns by day.
As to the feasibility of safely mooring
a vessel in the position shown the sea
faring men present gave their unites
Hating approval.
The cost of a light vessel was shown
to lx less than Unit of a son, const light,
and that of the red sectors nominal.
Tho feasibility of the system to meet
any possible change of tiie position of
the bar and channel would be assured.
Among the Incidental advantages of
having the light vessel lit this position
brought forth were
First In the day time- It would be
an excellent mark In case buoys were
missed or out of place.
Second A ft refuge for fishermen
about to ho carried across the bar.
Third The crew would keep a lookout
on the fishing boats In this dangerous
vicinity and give warning to the life
saving crew If their services weiv re
quired. Fourth The fog whistle on the vessel
would be of treat s"ltno to shipping
signal on shore having been already
shown by trial.
The chamber referred the matter to
a committee wlih Instructions to make
an early report upon the best plan of
securing the assistance of all Interested
In the development of the Columbia and
of asking our senntors and represen
tatives to secira an appropriation for
the Immediate construction of tho light
vessel.
The members of the Musters and Pi
lots' Association promised their hearty
co-operation.
A SENSITIVE MAN.
Jack I thought you were very atten
tive to Miss Coupon?
Tom I was, but after what she said
I shall have nothing more to do with
her.
Jack What did she say?
Tom She said "No." Puck.
DID YOU EVER MEET A TRULY
GOOD MAN?
No doubt you think you have, but
we'll wager a dime or so he did not
have the rheumatism. If he did, he
swore occasionally, and no man can be
truly good who swears occasionally.
Health, nerve tranquility and morality
are apt to -go hand in hand. Painful
spasmodic diseases like rheumatism and
neuralgia ruin the temper, make one
morose, peevish and rebellious. This Is
a Hid fact, but It is none the Icbs true.
Drive away the pain, mollify the tem
is?r, restore tranquility of mind In caae9
of rheumatism and neuralgia with Hos
tetter's Stomach Bitters, an anodyne
and tonic of comprehensive range and
effect. It healthfully stimulates the
kidneys, bladder, stomach, liver and
bowels when Inactive, and induces sleep
and appetite. A very quieting effect, not
an unnatural, stupefying one like that
of an opiate, is produced by a wine
glassful before retiring. It is Incom
parable in malarial diseafie.

EXPENSIVE ECONOMY.
Some people begrudge the little money
that an Alllcock's Porous Plaster costs,
and then when they are racked with
puln from a lame back, or from the
soreness arising from a cold, they will
spend any amount of money to relieve
the pain. If they only had one of those
world-renowned plasters on hand they
would be saved a vast amount of suffer
ing and be considerably richer. At the
Mint sign of stiffness of the joints apply
one of these plasters without any delay.
The soreness will be greatly relieved at
once and soon disappear entirely. It
will be money saved to have them on
hand, to say nothing of the comfort
they bring.
Brandreth's Pills contain no Irritat
ing matter.

Don't go to Portland to buy your
tickets for the "Old Country" and the
East when you can get them for the
same price at the Union Pacific ofllee
in this city, and thereby save your lo
cal faro to Portland.

Attest: C. J. TRF.XniAr.n,
ND NO WONDER! The bargains which they are
offering would crowd any store. Low prices an 1
. good value is their motto for this coming week. We noed
scarcely remind the ladies of Astoria and vicinity to take
advantage of this remarkably cheap sale which is the table
talk of the whole city. Never in the history of this city
was there such a slaughter of goods. Now is the acceptable,
time for ladies wishing to make purchases of saving money.
And as the general complaint of "Hard Times" is heard
and felt everywhere, Shanahan Bros, have come to the con
clusion of making many heavy hearts light by the enoi
mous reductions of their goods
This coming week we shall offer a still greater reduo
tion in all departments. The vast accumulation of rem
nants from last week cf Dress Goods, Ginghams and Cali
cos will be a chapter long to remember in Astoria from the
very fact of the very, very low prices to which Mre have
marked them down. Also odds and ends in Underwear,
Hosiery, Gloves, and Corsets, at prices that defy the world.
Come Early! Come Early!
And don't get left, for this is a golden opportunity never before
seen or heard of in Astrria.
