The Astorlan guarantees to Hs sub' acrlbere the largest circulation of any newspaper published on the Columbia river. Advertising rates can be had on ap plication to the business manager. This paper has possession of all the telegraph franchises, and Is the only paper on the Columbia river that pub lishes genuine dispatches. 9 The Weekly Astorlan, the third old est weekly In the state of Oregon, has, next to the Portland Oregonlan, the largest weekly circulation In the state. Handley & Haas are our Portland agents and copies of the Astorlan can be bad every morning at their stand on First st-eet. If the clipping from yesterday.s Sa- lem correspondence to the Oregonlan, wfoldh we reproduce In another column, Is anything like a correct outline of the fish bill agreed on by the committee It may be safely predicted - that it will never (become a law of Oregon without the most strenuous opposition. It seemed a very good and practical Idea to appoint a special committee on thU important subject of legislation, and then to have that committee visit the principal fishing points along the river for the purpose of gathering facts re lating to the industry, but if the com mittee proposes to recommend any such 'bill to the legislature as that described in the Oregonlan, It is plain that the time supposed to have been spent In the investigation was worso thou wasted. While it Is natural to suppose a majority of the committee knew nc more In the first instance about salmon fulling than they did about whale catching in the Arctic ocean, it would seem that they might have obtained some smattering of reliable Informa tion from the people they saw or might have seen on their tour of travel;' and it Is a great mystery how such a non descript product of Ignorance or misin formation could have passed the scru tiny of the Clatsop members of the committee, who surely ought to have some acquaintance with at least the prominent facts pertaining to the sub ject. The proposed bill should 'be an tagonized by all classes interested in the lower Columbia packing Industry, whloh It will most seriously cripple and discourage, if it ever becomes a law. Bo far as any protection to the fish t concerned, the (bill simply guarantees their safe passage up the river and into the remorseless maw of the Ash wheels. In fact, it should be entitled "A bill to perpetuate and place a pre mium, upon, and make more valuable, all Aah-wheels now existing In the Columbia River." Facts are constantly cropping out, even in the official publications of thlr free-trade administration! which, deal staggering blows to soma of tho most precious and dearly-cherished theories of free-traders, According to a press ( Is patch from 'Washington, the recent report from Consul General Mason, at Frankfort, Germany, which will soon be published by the state department, furnishes some facts of this sort. One theory to which free-traders most ten naclously cling, Is that a protective tariff cripples and curtails the export trade of a country. Ia his speech In London a few months ago, Chairman Wilson, of the Ways and Means com' mlttee, said In substance that the "tariff reformers" of the United States wore tearing down the barriers raised up hy the protectionists, not only In order to encourage and Increase the Importations of foreign goods, but also to encourage and Increase the export trale of the United States. That the latter result has not yet been obtained, the official reports of the treasury ef forts clearly prove. It may be argued that the time has been too short since the enactment of the existing tariff law. That argument, however, cannot be urged In the case of England, which, for a ihalf-century nas enjoyed the blessings and reaped the benefits of a free-trade policy, adopted at a tlms when she stood at the head of the man ufacturing countries of the world and wua without a rival in "th markets of the worW." In the production, manu facture and export of Iron and steel. Great Britain had no rival. Oermany, on the other hand, lagfed far bhtnd.j Twenty years ago that country began to flumge bcr policy, and within to nrxt two or three years the protective tyrtmn Wtan.o firmly ettMlebd. Ort prltftin enjoyed every advantag , -.. i 79 the United l m:.H from all countries' Clnci'.m only 102,000 tons of Iron and steel, fif-ftf' ly three-fourths of which was bar IrOn of a special quality as material for the crucible steel manufacturers of Shef field. According to Consul General M Don's report, the Imports had risen in 1890 10324,000 tons, an increase of ovei ,100 per cent, "by far the larger portion of whloh was supplied by Germany, which country in a893 exported to Eng land ami six principal British colonies, 4)3,000 tons of steel and Iron, being about 18 per cent of the total dermar. export of that year." A good story, which 'will bear re telling In Oregon, Is going the rounds jf a man dying in Kansas, and being i stranger, the minister who conducted the funeral, after saying what he could, ailed on any friend of the deceased present to speak, iNo one responding, after a while a lank, long-haired man in the hear of the room arose and .mid as there seemed to be no one to Mccupy the time, he would like to make X few remarks on the silver question. SKIPANON GATHERINGS. The plow has started on Clatsop Plains and people are getting ready tc iut In another crop. Some have plant' L-d early potatoes, onions and peas si .eady. The past good weather has ilven the farmers a chance to draw nut their manure, and they are all foro- aanded with their work this year. Mr. Henry C. Harrison, of Warren- ion, has the contract to fill the Hol: jrook slough that broke out last Jan aary during the big tides.

It Is the work of Orion Frazle, one of Mr. Grady's warmest personal friend. The name One Minute Cough Cure suggests a medicine that relieves at once, and quickly cures. Its use proves It. Chas.

By pro moting digestion and assimilation they overcome tfiat gastric disorder, which in the most proline cause of nervous debility, and which, so long as it exlrts, defeats In a large measure the action jf sedatives and opiates. Such reme- Jies, moreover, necessitate the use of increasing doses, and finally cease to act altogether, except In dangerous quantities. They never reach the fotuv lain head of the trouble, and quiet the nerves only by eanil-paralyzlng them. Equally objectionable are fiery unmedl anted alcoholic stimulants. Kidney, o ladder and liver trouble, malaria, con' tip&tlon, and rheumatism are relieved yy the Bitters, which also promotes jppettte and nightly repore.

"Do you never feel tlml and literally worn out, Governor," was recently ask ed him. "Several years ago for the first time In my life, I did feel in that condition. I was then a member of the assembly at Albany. It took the form of tnoft Ilsagreeable nausea, and, of course, prostration whldh sudh attacks occa sion. By sheer force of will powet I seemed to overcome the first attack, but the year following it came again, with even more violence than before." "What were your symptoms, Gover nor?" 'I felt a sense of weight and fullness in the lower'part of the body, followeC by a dull, throbbing- pain, and accom panied with a sensation of feverish heat of a chilly shudder."

In fact, my whole organism seemed to be giving out. I was unable to obtain relief ex cept by lying flat upon my back, and even this relief was only temporary." "But how comes It that you are now in such good health?" "Listen, and I will tell you. I deter mined to take the case In my own 'hands, and therefore 'began using a remedy of which I had heard a great deal. It benefitted me at once, and I continued Its use until I am completely restored to health, and kept in good physical condition, and all through the use of Warner's Safe Cure." "Your experience, Governor, Is cer tainly a most important and valuable one." "Yes, Indeed. And I am satisfied that for physical ailments, and espe cially those incident to declining years, there is nothlinjr equal to Warner s Safe Cure, and certainly I am a good living example of what It can do.
