cin First stet
The people of Clatsop county have
only to avail themsdvea of the benefit
of what Is known as the Cross road
law, as amended and Improved at ths
last cession of the legislature, to solve
the problem of how to open up and
develop the vast farm In and lumber
ing di M riots tributary to tine deep wa
ter of Astoria's harbor. 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.

As soon as can be learned what the
toll road people are going to do about
their road the question of roads will be
taken up and pushed. The county
could perhaps buy a cheap piece of

A road along the beach seems the one
most favored from Elk Creek to the

ON PEARY'S
Perfect Reliance Was Placed in
Paine's Celery Compound.
"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

soon had Its effects, and I began to b
troubled In a number of ways. 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."
