The O. R. and N. Co. has been com

brand, than which no better cement is
made, al Is the same as Is used in
tne construction of the Cascade Locks.
Material Is coming to hand every day
for our new water works and work is
being pushed vigorously.
Evidently Astoria does not porsess a
monopoly of wharf thieves. They are
becoming very apparent all through Pu
get Sound. The "ast Issue of the Taco-
ma News say: 'There has been much
complaint during the last few months
of petty thieving along the waterfront.
Steamers lying along the wharves have
often been boarded and rooms entered
and robbed. Someone went aboard the
steamer Des Moines about 5 o'clock this
morning and took 81 from the pockets
of A B. Burnham, the purstr of the boat.
The purser was sleeping in an adjoining
room and awakened Just In time to see
the form of a man disappearing over the
boat's side. This Is the fourth time that
the steamer Des Moines has been robbed
In the last six months. People along the
wharves ae-m to believe that there is
sn organized system of stealing carried
on In that locality by some one. About
a week ago a steam guage was stolen
from the steamer Rover while lying In
port. Not long ago two nickel lubricators,
valued at 812 each were taken from the
steamer LIz!e A. 8ome t!me before thai
a vacuum gu-uge and a number of cush
ions valufd .t about 115 were , missed
from the launch Stampede."
Sunday was one of th? few beauty
spots In nature's calendei, a perfect day
full of rest anl peace. The waters ot
the bay were almost without a ripple
and the bright sun reflected from Its sur
face as from a polished mirror.. Even
the ocean could be seen under a strong
glass to be calm and smooUh giving little
evidence of the mighty pow.'r beneath
Us bosom which so recently created such
great damage. A visit to the- hillsides
was fraught with much pleasure and
profit. A resting time with nature Is
always productive of good to every one.
And that people appreciate the fact was
shown by the crowds who were scatter
ed In all directions, drinking in the
sunshine and pure air. Sunshine Is as
necessary to man as it is to the plant
tnd the only wonder Is that so many
stay shut up to their own gloomy
thoughts and morbid fancies when a
brisk walk In the free air Is a. better
bracer than gallons of medicine.
THE PASSIVE GROCER.
Here Is the American Grocer's excellent
pen picture of a tradesman that all ot
us know and come ln:o daily contact
with:
He is patience personified. His soul
Is free from ambition and his nature un
tainted by an aggressive spirit;- He gives
no thought for the morrow, nor concern
for yesterday, and is content with to
day. He is not a believer in enthusiasm;
shows little emotion and is-willing to let
the store run Itself. Just so long as
liabilities are met without special ex
ertion he is satisfied. New ideas, pro
gressiveness, keeping up with the times,
style, system and a mastery over de
tails occasion no concern, nor Is he moved
when his easy-going, Indifferent policy
Is brought Into contrast with his go.
ahead,, contented competitor.
He moves in ruts and is satisfied so
long as his condition Is not materially
changed from what it was fifteen, twenty
or more years ago. A few years since
we Tne t one of these passive fellows who
kept his books la pound, shilling and
pence, as was the custom In this coun
try forty years ago, simply because he
was satisfied with that plan and didn't
care whether the decimal system was bet
ter or not,' Just so long as the passive
grocer has his living He Is satisfied to
let matters take their course. He claims
that he has outlived many a competitor,
seen some of them fail, and that his con
dition is better than the average; that
he Is free from excitement, worry and
risks.
His beat Is between his home and his
store, to which habit has chained him,
so much so that a trip to New York or
other city of supply is an event in his
life. This passive fellow Is content to
order by mall or through drummers, by
which course his mind Is not disturbed by
conflicting quotations and market
changes.
Trade papers are never read because
they tax his mental powers and are too
suggestive. Advertising in any manner
Is foreign to his thought. He claims
that consumers know best what they
want nnd where to nurehase: that for
many years he Tiad served them in his
way, been. lenient as to credit, and
'that If they want to trade anywh.re
else, why let them go." He Is very ac
comodating and Is always quick to re
spond to the request of an old patron,
but he never attempts to suggest a new
line of goods, or to educate his trade to
a new standard of quality. In short, he
allows himself to be led Instead of be
coming a leader. Long hours never worry
him, for he Is as happy in his store a
his home and with his family as with
his merchandise. Occasionally he is
aroused from his passlveness by some
heavy loss through over confidence In ex
tending credit or by reason of theft, fire
or carelessness.
He is unfriendly to the Grocers' associ
ation, the board of trade or other or
ganizations, claiming that It Is as much
as he can do to attend to his own busi
ness without trying to regulate other
folks' affairs. It never enters his mind
that he Is a unit In society and Is re
sponsible for the effectiveness of that
unit. To entertain such a thought might
paralyze him were he to be receptive to
modern methods or new ideas.
Being passive, this sort of a grocer does
little harm. He Is never accused of cut
ting prices, making Innovations, meddling
with his neighbors, and therefore Is left
to pursue his Inoffensive way peaceably
until death takes him from the scene ana
his estate goes to the surrogate's court
for settlement. All his life long he was
fond of verse:
Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be
proud?
Like a fast-fllttlng meteor, a fast-flying
cloud,
A flash of the lightening, a break of the
wave,
He passeth from life to his rest In the
grave.

Some of the Work of the Little Ones on
Memorial Day.
MEMORIAL DAY.
Tomorrow Is "Memorial Day" on which
we decorate the soldiers' graves of the
civil war. Many of those soldiers ars
still alive, and some are living In Asto
ria now.
OUR FLAG.
I like our flag better than any other
flag In the whole nation. It is the pret
tiest flag in the world, and I would rath
er be killed than to have our flag insult
ed. Our flag has three colors, red, whit
and blue.
And this day we decorate the soldiers'
grave. It Is on the 30th of May. Our flag
has 13 stripes and has 44 stars.
It Is often called star-spangled-banner.
Miny patriotic soldiers died under the
American Flag. Many soldiers gave their
lives for our country's flag. Our coun
try is America. It Is often called Col
umbia. OUR FLAG.
Our flag is very beautiful. It excelk
every other one in the world. It lookt
very beautiful waving so gracefully In
the air. Every bulMIng Improves In
looks when our flag Is waving so grace
fully over it.
"Our Flag" has three colors only, name
ly, "The Red, the White, and the Blue."
Our school house looks "grand" when
"Our Flag" Is waving over it. No on
dare Insult "Our Flag." If they should
the nation would spring up and knock
down the intruder. Our flag Is the brav
est, the noblest, the strongest and the
most beautiful on earth. Imagine Our
Flag waving backward over the heads ot
the brave men marching to or from the
war!
I wish I could hear the cheers that
went up as they saw the beautiful flag
being hoisted up, the flag that they had
not seen for years.
Every man, woman and child should be
full of patriotic love for his country's
flag.
OUR BRAVE.
Our brave consists of the heroes and
soldiers who laid down their lives for
us. Among the bravest of the brave
are Washington, Gates, Arnold, the trait
or, all of the Revolutionary War; then
there are Perry and others of the war
of 1W2-1S.4, and Taylor and Scott of the
war with Mexico; then of the famous
civil war were Grant, llcC'iellan, Sher
man, Sheridan, and others. They were
on the north, or Union side.
Then rht-re were people on the south,
or Confederate side, who did not think
of what they were trying to do. They
did not think at the time that they were
trying to ruin their country. Among
them were Jackson, Johnson and others
People think that the generals need all
the glory wh-n they lead a side that
gains the victory, but I think th soldier!
who fight and die trying to gain a Victory
need half of the glory the general gets.
If the general did not have any solid rs
to fight what could he do agilnst a thous.
ond of men? "
Thousands of men laid down their lives
for their country ami to eavc t'he home
they left behind them.
MEMORIAL DAY AT ILWACO.
Ilwaco, WiRh., May 31, 1695.

larg-e crowd of citizens, gathered at th

The trappers at Chinook are having a

THE TRADE OF SIAM.
The London Times says: 'The offi
cial report for 13 states Wat the num
ber of vessels which entered and cleared
the port ot Bangkok was 677, as com
pared with only 2K In 1K2, while the In
crease in tonnage was 277,530 tons, or
132 per cent. The- total value of the im
ports, as shown by the custom house re
turns at Bangkok, was 817,489,611 equiva
lent, at the average rate of exchange for
the Mexican dollar, to. 2,259,078. This was
an Increase of nearly 1, 000,000 over the
previous year. The great increase ot
trade was the more remarkable owing to
the temporary check caused b tli.
Franco-Siamese difficulty In 1SXS. The ex.
ports' in 1K13 amounted to 4,457,114, as
compared with only 1, 886,560 In 1892.
This large Increase was due chiefly to the
enormous output of rice, and it is satis
factory to note that the exports of rice
from the three Indo-Chinese ports In 183
were as follows: Bangkok, 775,701 tons,
Rangoon, 1,063,000 tons, and Saigon, 654,.
817 tons."
STUPENDOUS JOBBERY.
Indianapolis Journal.
" In 1878, when the democrats pf t'he
house passed a free coinage bill intro
duced by Mr. Bland, the late James G.
Blaln. in several platform speeches
characterized It as "the most stupendous
piece of Jobbery that ever received the
sanction of the national house." At thai
time the bullion In a standard dollar
was worth 84 cents. When the bullion, in
a standard dollar Is worth 53 cents the
proposition to make It worth a dollar Is
a piece of Jobbery more than double th.
size of that Mr. Blaine denounced.
THE EFFECT OF GOOD WORK.
Eugene Register.
The roads that last fall were ditched
and well grageled now show up in most
excellent light, being dry, solid and level
with practically no ruts to patch this
spring. The road leading from Fugene
past Merlau's park shows the evidence ot
the good work dttne there. Systematic
and thorough work Is going to accom
plish the deelred end.
LARGER THAN USUAL.
Del Norte Record.
Spring salmon have been quite numer
ous In (he Klamath river the past week,
and several fair catches have been made
by the fishermen The salmon caught are
said to be slightly larger than the aver,
age for former years.
COLUMBIA RIVER SHAD.
Skamokawa Eagle.
Chlopeck Bros, of Portland wrote to a
lower river Canneryman last week to
ship no more shad to them weighing
under. five pounds. This gives some Idea
of the size of the shad caught In the
Columbia.
GIVE THEM A MONOPOLY.
Globa-Detnocrat.
Senator Allison wisely declines a chal

There Is no reason why any republican
should participate In a discussion that
the democrats can so safely be permitted
to monopolize as things are now work

Two ladles entered a book-store recent

a book called "Favorite Prescription."
The puzzled attendant was unable to

fact that she had overheard a conver

which "Favorite Prescription" was men

Jumped to the conclusion that It was a
