Hhe time Was arrived when all the peo ple of AkKoo-Ia must come forward ana share some of the burden end risk inci dent ito putting the rallroid enterprise on a footing that will Induce Mr. Ham- tnond to go ahead wiBh It. It In't light, even If tt were possible, for a few com mittee-men and other pubMc-eplrlitcd ctt Isens to bear the entire brunt of the whole undertaking; am) without assum ing to speak as Ute mouthpiece of the commute, the Adtorian Is of die opin ion that unless t'her is a united tfCort and a genenat movement to aid the commit' tee, all present hope of itihe railroad mum be abandoned. This Is a critical junc ture. To give up now would be fatal to Astoria's future prospaoi There is a decided tendency of Eastern and foreign bapittU to the Pacific coast; on the theo ry, probably, that the opening of the China-Japan markets will make this sec tion A moat profitable Held for investment. The people of Seattle have Just raised (500,000 to pull investments that way. The multiplied thousands of people In va rious partis of the country wno planted millions of money in the Bound region during the boom days are now exerting every Effort to beguile capital In that direction. If the excitement ever starts up over the Paget Sound country again, Astoria will simply be lost and forgotten in the scuffle. We need our railroad sit this moment, and Infinktdy worse than tt has ever been needed or la likely to be Meded in the nest CO years. From all accounts, but a few pultry thousands of dollars stand in (the way of commenc ing work on the railroad immediately. The members of the oommiitteo have strained every nerve and it looks like they; cannot lulst another dollar. Up in Beatitl the wry bootblacks and newsboys on the street threw in their dimes and Quartern to help make up the I500.0M whlonwlll seal Astoria's fate for the nsxjt half century, unless we get trie Hammond railway. One month's actual work on the railroad will serve to con vince the world of Its reality, and bring Into Astoria snany times over the amount at money contributed to get it startea, Astoria has the dlati notion of being Ui only .town in the United States which has on income from one Industry alone amounting to an average of $800 for Uio head of every family in the community. Surely the people of such a city will make shout work of raising the few thousand dollars required to give tier a more than equal chance in itfhe great oncoming race for development and prosperity. Civic ride, to say nothing of self-interest, answers yea to such a proposition. Give the people a cfhanoe to setttii this matter. No request has yet been made for general subscriptions. Call a mass meeting rot that purpose ilmn.illately. Have the b.mcl out, and let the committee make Its r. port and tell the people enmethlng about Aatlorla's limitless possibilities. All tne money nttded can be raised and Ham mond telegraphed to put his men to work without the delay of anulther hour. It is nonsense to utt another minute. Call the meeting, Dr. Kinney. DEPARTMENT BTORE METHODS. W notice regularly, from week to week, some flaring announoements of big deport ment stores, more particularly In the Cht. rago dally papers, the quotations for standard goods contained In which are really marvellous. Lvy Columbia Rives Salmon has b;en figuring In some of then bargain MSta, "choice brands" being ad vertised at trwm I to 10 cents per con. Of course hts stuff la nothing but rotten, shelf-worn AUudta salmon falsely labelled, and the Astorlan ts beginning to keep clotu tally of the nanus of tttotws adver tisers, so that within a few weeks we will be In a position to expose such thiev ing practices and If possible prevent the spread of the evil, anyhow so far as Co lumbia River Balmnn Is concerned. The ilr'Tpn'' f bargain pounce Is v?ry seMom anytthUig but a dstr edition of quality. The hutre d pvrtment otor. . ym fii.piiil.iii t j k 1 h ' r. ir, ar.fi soon the people In big centers were del ma 'sojjd o Ximomoipfj v v cqiueuj -ivS i,no Xiq-euomOTj jo CJOJJO mi. PO-Hn midi; fit material so fragile hat a rew weeks' woir ruined them completely. Then the octopus Otitened on the book trade. Books today are offered for tali In gilt Windings at a price that one is accuxi.'jTned to pay for peanuts. But, a few days after purchase, tj'ne gold dust wears off, the leaves fill apart, and a hii ou caricature of a decent volume is all i.hat remains. Woodpulp and logwood Ink, warranted not to fade under three weeks, tare the principal components ot thece cheap and nasty books. Eo long, however, as tin bazaar buyer held aloof from the markets for food proJuj.s, no harm except to the pockets of 'tho eomrmuni'.y was dune, but since this adJlMc.i of canned salmon and ether ura cer.ej to it'hu departmenitis la several ot theea bargain stores in large cities, it has become . different matter. Even in BtralglJt out grocery stores the n. duct Ion 'of quality has proceeded, itoo rapidly to be vlowed wltd complacency, tout that pace promises to be slow compared with the prugresa that has buen made in tne brancJ.es of the business controlled by ba- saar houses, and compared with the prog' rt-Bs which the descent will make In bto cerles wttien their sale becomes an old story in the 'bazaars or department gitores, It to in this connection, that the grocers who droad the spread of the department stores miwt look for relief. Thev mum scrupulously adhere to old time standards of quality, and in no case Collow the lead of 'tin; bazaar except a regards the low ering of Ihe margin of profit when there Is iiiiiple room and chance enough to ftj to. Lc-t ithem poirJt out, to customers who wart them to cut prices to the bi zaor level, that quality In food products is mere important than In tho case ot ron-cdlble goods and that for solf-pro-teotlon the consumer had better get gro ceries from the grocer, and not run tne risk of being poisoned by buying a de- partmcnt house bargain that might have left the packer a decade ago. and haa spent tho intervening time lh some stor age wan.houge because It twos unsalable by grocers. The retail grocer (has In this huire de partment store of the present day a bitter antagonist. His only weapons asulnst Its deadly Inroads into his business is n high and stationary standard of duality not only In salmon, but in everything he sells, The beautiful and touching custom, so genemlly prevalent west of the Missouri river, of furnishing the public school children with nagts and permitting them to mardi, under charge of their teachers. In itfhe processions of grizzled and battle- scarred veterans on Memorial Day, is worthy of perpetuation and imitation In every section of the country. No more effectual plan could be devised to teacn the young the important lesson of oi- trlotlsm, and to instill that love of coun try and the country's flag so eaa.nttal to the defense and preservation of our liber ties and institutions. It must be a source of solace and satisfaction to 'the old soldiers of the republic to know that while hcy are being rapidly and finally mustered out from participation in ah suehearthly scenes, their memory and the heroic cause for which they suffered will be annually eommomoralbed In future ag?s by troops of innocent children, each testifying bis tribute of respect and grat itude to the noble dend by marching un der the emblem they fought to hand down inviolate to posterity. CREDIT VERSUS MONEY. The Chicago Evening Journal sums up the money question in a nutshell when It says: Becretary Carlisle bandied tho silver subject ably and well In his Covington ad dress, and there was one point which he brought out that cannot be emphasized too mucin "Credit, or confidence," he said, "Is an elememt of far greater lmpontance in fix ing or upholding prices than the mere amount ot actual money In use or avail able for use. Credit is a purchasing power, and the train who possesses it competes in the market wifth the mm who pomes aotual money, and contribute s as much as It'hcy do to the maintenance of prices. In tho broadest and most com prehensive sense the business capacity and personal Integrity of each individual constitute a part of the effective currency of tbe community in which he lives." As Secretary Carlisle showed In his speech, about 96 per cent ot the er.itlrn business of t'bo country is done without he use of money, sit her gold, silver or paper, and metallic money Itself Is not used to Ithe extent of more than 1 per cent In our business transactions. All Mils hue and cry is about that paltry 1 per cent, land it ts raised by the class of people who have none of tho maiteriil out of which the oitber 90 per cent Is made namely, business capacity and personal Integrity, otherwise known as credit. As bias been demonstrated a tnonsana times In tfheee columns, the hard times were in no woj related to tilie amount of gold or eilver available for circulation. It was the contraction of credit that killed Industry, as it has dune periodic illy for the last three centuries, and as It will continue to do as long as there shall be such a Irtilng na commercial credit to ex pand and collapse. if this were an ordinary question tne iirnorant and thouirliitless wlio have been led astray by demagogues; might be taught the silliness of tho silver tad oy trying It on awhile. But. as Secretary Carlisle says, thl "is not an ordinary experiment which can be safely tried tiodiy and aban doned tomorrow if found Injurious, be cause the Immediate consequences of suoh a step would be so far-reaching ana so enduring that they would continue to bt feltt for years after the policy naa Deen reversed." it, thewfore. becomes the duty of every man whose eyes are open to combat tho dangerous movement. TUB TOLL TAX QUESTION. Editor Astorlan: Noting ths item In Saturday's Aetorlan. about the man at he seaside refurtng to pay road tax. I would like to sny fhat the sooner k Is decided which way to collect" tax the bet ter. Some think the county court Is usurp ing the suiierviaors' work, the sams as tho sheriff thinks ths supervisors are warping bis. tiome uMin. think that the part that the court is aetinir under is for the pur pose of having , fund to draw on, for bridges, etc., and Is a part of the law not in conflict wtth the supervisors' duty. We can't iav h supervisors have a law for laborers and the county court have another for property owners. If ons man bis to pay P so should all. I think tt would b a g-joxi plan to let the supervtsoni send a list of those liable to tax to the sheriff and let every one have the cban.ee to settle with the super visor by workln or by ths ues of a team, wawon. plow, etc.. and the super visor's receipt be tsken by the sbsrilt In payment for the raid poll tax. In the wr.tjme we are all trowing old and lots of road work is needed. There was a family left the Lewis ana Clark river last week and went to tne Sound. By what the moa and woman each said they are going to rent a road. At least the place they will pay rent for Is not so good as the one they leave, ex cept in that particular. Would he have been willing to pay the same for a road here? As Mr. Hare thinks we are usurping bis prerogative In tax collecting, I will ask him to peruse the following: "Tempos fugrt," don't you know, Sometimes croaking like a crow, May be fast or may be slow, "Tempus fuglt," Mack and low. "Tempus fuglt" poised on wings Brlgnt and golden, gaily sinks, Filviuig tost uom nOiver to flower Fusnes tnrough some leafy bower. Harnete "Temoua" to a load, uirt him o,er a Clatsop road, Wallowing down some Ciaisop trail, WMn tne mud an throug,i his tall, Cousin, t "iugri." if he tried. In a mud nole muck and died. V. F.

This class of Invalids, too.ls usually troubled with Indigestion and imperfect assimilation. Indeed,to the inability of the system to perform these twin functions may be largely attributed all nervous symptons. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters Is a soverlgn remedy for nervousness. Dyspepsia and non-asslmllatlon of the food are remedied by it, as are also malarial and kidney complaints, bllllousness.constlpatlon and rheumatism. Confirmed nervousness can not be permanently remedied by opiates or sedatives, which are highly prejudicial to health, and soon fall of effect save In Increasing doses. The Bitters first in ltles, then confirms a vigorous discharge of ths various functions, and removes obstacles to that end. Take It persistent ly at regular Intervals. WHY do people complain of hard times, when any woman or man can maka from $3 to Jlf! a day easily.
