This law. when rightly understood and applied, will be shown to be one of the least expensive and most practical methods ever devised to promote the settlement and fanprovement of a country like that surrounding Astoria, and every tax payer and property owner both. In the otty and country should make it a point to inform ihimeelf with reference to the merits of the law, in order that tt may toe given tfbe most extended operation possible during the coming summei season. There are many feature of the new law which will surprise those acquainted only with the cumbersome and burdensome system of county road Improvements heretofore to vogue. Par haps the best recommendation that could be urged for the new method Is tt almost universal adoption in the great agricultural elates of the middle Wert. In a recent letter on the proposed monetary conference, printed In a prominent Ohio paper, Senator Sher man says: I think it is likely that un der the present conditions the monetary conference proposed may lead to inter national legislation that will provide for a largely Increased use of silver as coin. The great body of what are called silver men are not so anxious for this as for the adoption of some cheap money of less purchasing power than gold. It is an effort on their part to make the payment of debts easy, and in that way cheat the creditor. All con tracts for thirty years have been based upon gold. The payment of ddbts wlU be nude easier to the Injury of cred itors. The payment of national debts In silver will be a gross violation of the public faith. AH the bonds now out standing were sold for gold coin or Its equivalent. The payment of these bonds In silver at the ratio of 1$ to 1 would be a practical repudiation of one-half of the public debt, and th same rule would apply to all private contracts. A WaXhtngton dispatch to the Bt. Louis Globe-Democrat says: "Russia Is sibout to makeadrtermlned effort to reaoh out artd capture some of the great markets for flour, suoh as Eng land, the borders of the Mediterranean eoa and Asia, whldh are at present largely supplied by the United States. The government as backing the project, and promising to afford special trans portation rate and fad) Hies for the export trade in flour, and to advance ioars to the Russian millers to enable tVm to extend their operations, These facts appear In a report to the state de partment by Vnlted States Consul-den-eral Karti, at St. Petersburg. He de or!! at length the proceedings of the Rusarian MilhTs' Convention held in St. IMwmburf kwt January, wthlch, h says, ny tiattres the miners of the fritted ftatt as arTeitlng their future r1. The convention was held under t'te auaplcet of the Russian government with the purpose of fostering the ex portation of Russian flour.

The cry of the tariff reformers was Chat, with a reduced .tariff, our rela tions wlh other carts of the world imnrove as greatly to Increase our exports. But certainly the first half year does not make hturte to fulfil What assurance. Not only are the pr-.xU countries of Europe closing their pints against our moat Important ex ports, such as meats of all kinds, by reason of this law itself, but the re. ports of our exportation- since the law wnt Into effect show an enormous falling on as compared with the corres pomtlng imontlhs of last year under the MoKHnley law. The excess of exports over imports during ithe last six months was less than half as much as during the corresponding months of last year under the MoKirtiey law. According to the Ban Francisco Ar gartaut, for every 1100 in gold produced in Colorado In 1892 there were $164 in 1893, and S263 in 1894. The estimated production in 1896 to $20,000,000, and in California $14,000,000. SEASIDE NOTES.

"When I vaa selected by Lieut, Paary to ttcoompanV Wm on hl trip to the Arctic re&tons to :try and find a. way to the north pole," eays Mr. James W. Davidson in the Fourth Estate, "it was partly on account of my strong, healthy constitution, and his belief that I could .endure the fatigue and dainger 'Incident to' the trip. I had been associated with him as his busi. ness manager on his lecturing tour, and was on terms of the .greatest inti macy with htm. "When the ship Falcon left New York on Jier trip north-wards it had among the stores several cases of Paine's celery compound. The reputa tion of this medicine was well estab llshed, so that It was the most natural thing In th world tihat the members of the party, and they comprised men from nearly every walk In life, from common sailors to men of science, should desire to use It. "The record of our perilous trip to Camp Amnlxersary Is too well known to need repetltYan. Once in camp we naturally took an inventory of our possessions, and I was evceedlngly glad to find Paine's celery compound. The medicine chest was open to ell, and we were free to take from It what we thought advisable. I, in company with some of the others, selected some of the compound, taking a bottle of It to my cabin, knowing that It would be handy when wanted. Nor was I mis taken, for the xcesslve cold weather FOR TILihAmOOK, NEHALEM COAST POINTS STEAHERS R. P. EUORE, w. H. HARRISON, AUGUSTA.

In every case whenever I felt the slightest in disposition, I used the compound and found relief. "One thing noticeable In the Arct.c region was that the cold weather made us all exceedingly nervous. We became irritable and cross. Our nerves weer all unstrung, and naturally it affected our health. I talked the matter over with some of the others, and made up my mind that possibly the celery compound would be beneficial, for I knew that It was used for nervouB dis orders at home. Well, sir, we tried It, and I must say that It helped every one of us. "When the long ndbht of six months came on and we were In darkness, we found that the effects were very de pressing. Imagine, If you can, living for six months in darkness such M occurs here every might, and you can readdly understand how we were sit uated. It Is a wonder that some ot us did not go mad. We had not very much to divert our attention, and the efl2t was something like solitary con finement in a dark cell. "I have used Paine's celeray com pound for a dozen Ills such as a per son Is liable to have at any time, anc especially in that desolate country. It ha3 always helped me, and I should b pleased to have more of It should I gi north again. "I do not know of any one thing that I can say more of than Paine's celery compound. Tt certainly Is a great med icine, and I am an advocate of It." ALili Open por Special Charter. REMOVED I REMOVED! REMOVED! B. F.
