All tb advices from Washington in reference to tho boundary controversy between Great Britain and Venezuela suggest the possibility that it may ultl maltely Involve the United States in ser lous trouble with England. The recent concession of territory by the Venezuelan government to an American company, which territory Is said to be a part of that claimed by Oreat Britain, it Is ex pected will call out a protest from the British government, as it appears the same concession did ten years ego. This circumstance introduces a new complica tion and one which may make a direct ap peal to our government for the protection Of American interests Involved. It Is the understanding that the American com pany to which the concession of terri tory has been made will at once proceed to occupy it. Undoubtedly ft will meet with resistance. Then there will be an appeal to the United States government, a reference of ithe matter to the British government and a diplomatic controversy, the outcome of which would probably de pend very much upon, the attitude of the United States. Inslstance on our part upon, the right of the American company to take possession of the conceded terri tory, which is said to be very valuable, would undoubtedly be most firmly op posed by the BrltUh government, which obviously Could not allow this concession without endangering its claim to other territory. The Introduction of this complication look very much as If it had been delib erately Manned tor tha TinrnntiA f nuiro fully drawing the United Btates into the boundary controversy and putting this country li a position where it would be forced to take a decisive stand against British claims. The circumstances very strongly suggest that in making this con cision the Venezuelan- authorities felt that they are playing a game which will put to the strongest test (the disposition of this government to interfere with what Venezuela asserts to be the unjust and unwarranted claims of Great Britain. It is hardly to be supposed that, this view of the matter will escape the attention of the authorities at Washington, so that It is possible that Venezuela and the American Company may find that our government is not willing to assume any responsibility for the carrying out of this scheme. Certainly before giving it recognition the government would require to be fully assured that the concession was made in perftdt good faith and it is not altogether clear that this assurance could be given. The government of the Unittd Btates has 'made a very earnest endeavor to in duce the British government to submit the whole boundary controversy to arbi tration. This the latter has declined to do, being wllllngto arbltrato only as to certain terrlttory to which its claim is clearly questionable. This government has, therefore, done all that can reason ably be exptcted of it In behalf of Venez uela, and that country must settle the question as best t can, looking to the United States for such support as may be neotssary to prevent the further spallation of Venezuelan territory. Un questionably the sympathy of the Amer ican people Is very strongly with the southern reiyibllc. There is not the least doubt at the injustice of the British, en croachments upon Its territory. But the case Is not one which would Justify the United States in incurring the risk if a war with- Giat Britain. The Manufacturer and Herald of Trade of Ban Francisco says "The Astorlan ol June 21 estimates the Columbia Itiver pack at about 100,000 cans short of 1894." The Astorlan never stated anything of the kind. What our report did say was that there would b a probable shortage of 100,000 cases. The same paper states that "as the fish this year have been ex ceptionally heavy" (they were not) "this estimate must be a mistake. Canners on the Columbia river above the mouth of the Willamette river will be considerably short in their pock, while those below the mouth Of the Willamette exUndlng to the mouth of the Columbia will have a larger pack than Was that of 1S1M.'1 This statement Is of course a deliberate un truth. The lower river, as we have be fore stated, is at this time running be hind lis last year's output to date, and no well Informed man having any connec tion with the business In this city believes that the end of the season, will find the lower river even, allowing for a large run during (the whale of the present month, which '.s not probaMe. Why the Herald of Trale should attempt to throw doubts oa the reined cafch when the figures Come from people who have become al twwt experts in jM'ftflntr the conditions of this river, is a mystery, more partic ularly when, that remarkaJMe paper is so very willirg not only to publish a consid erable quantity of other news of the salm on industry clipped from these columns, but to conveniently forget the common courtesy of acknowledgment. As a Jlrat step toward obtaining betttr roada In the state, the Rhode Inland leg islature has caused anjnvestlgatlon to be made of the roads as they now exist. The commissioners report thatsome of the roads are unsafe even for light vehi cles, and others are so steep that only a small part of an ordinary load can be hauled over them. The total length of roads is 2420 miles, of which only 248 miles are macadamized and 312 miles covered with gravel. The remainder are dirt roads. The report moves on exchange to say if this is the condition of the public high ways in one small, rich state, densely populated and long settled, the reports in other states, for the credit of the country, should be read in secret session. The Associated Press is doing itself no credit in sending out such rot as the anonymous interview with a Republican of "national prominence'' telegraphed from Washington yesterday. .The thing bears every earmark of being a fake, pure and simple. Every person of ordinary In tei'tlgence knows that do prominent Re publican could or would talk in such foolish way even If he believed what It Is pretended that he said. The dispatch was evidently either paid for at so much a word by the free silver bureau, or else some Incompetent correspondent of the Press has been imposed on by a thimble rig, tin horn politician from the mining districts of Colorado or Nevada. No better man in all Astoria, could be selected for school director than Dr. Jay Turtle. His candidacy is a clear case of the office seeking the man, and it will be a fortunate thing for the Interests of the public schools of Astoria If it rinds him, The (board Just now stand in used of a member with Dr. Tuttle's temperament and superior quantifications, and it is grat ifying to know that he has been prevailed on to accept the office if elected. The Richmond, Va, Times says that if the national Democratic convention next year adopts a free silver platform that paper will urge a second convention "to nominate .a. Democrat of the straightest sect upon a sound money platform. Probalbly four-llfths of the papers of the South would support the movement. The 'British army has a total strength, according to the latest Blue Book, of 211,101. If England carries out all Its schemes of seizing the choice places of earth it will be able to garrison each one with a corporal and ten men. Speculation in stocks and grain Is a lit tle dull at present, but the business im provement continues. There is no re action In the increased Industrial output and the advance In wages. Mr. Reed is the kind of a candidate for president who does not propose to Join the procession until it is ready to start. The principal duty of the Republicans nowadays Is to make room In their party for sound money. Democrats. CHEAP SILVER AND LOW WAGES, One argument used by the silver extrem ists of the United States Is that he Jdop Hon of their panacea would enable Amer icans to sell their products at greater ad vantage as compared with those of other countries. And about the only argument used In Europe in favor of "bimetallism" s the plea that its adoption would simi larly favor the producers of the different countries there In competition with those of India, China, and other cheap labor amis, the currency unit of which is monometallic Bllvor. The latter plea is set forth very strongly In papers pub lished by Sir Henry M. Mersey Thompson, which were sent to him In competition for prize of $250 to be awarded for the Daper pointing out most clearly and plainly the loss and Injury caused by the rise In the value of gold," It appears from -these papers that the manufactures of England, especially those ngaged In the cotton Industries, are los ing more and more every year, and that Oerminy la In a similar bad condition. The reason for this is that the silver using countries are manufacturing for themsolves. Large cotton factories have been- bull't and others are being erected In China, and it is found that the ordinary Chinese coolie can be readily converted nto an eillelent mill hand, working for 'to 10 cents per day. The Japanese have mported machinery and the best of skill from Europe. Tho cotton spinning and eavln-sr Industries have been introduced Snto Bombay, where the cost of produc tion is so much smaller, owing to very ow wages, that Itorrtbay yarn has become danirerous competitor with the Lan cashire yarn in all eastern markets. But today, In turn, the Bombay manufactur ers find serious rivals in tns coiion- nuns of Japan and China. Beside cotton the panese have successfully Introduced vne mcnufocture or oeer, gun pawner, nu dlery, cement, matches, printing paper, noao. bricks and leather and minor in dustries, with the result that imports of these articles from Europe have prac tically died out, and they are supplying goods of these classes to nil the nelsh- boring silver countries. The latest con- ular renorts also indicate mat jnp.in soon will be indenendant of foreign iron und sugar. The cultivation of raw cotton la makimr sreat strides in unma, mucn of it being shipped to Japan. Mexico fol lowing the example of Japan and China, -turnlnir out tlrst class cotton prims oy the aid of importations of the finest Eng lish made machinery. Sir Henrv claims that at mis prescni moment work is being done by Indian, Chinese. Japanese and Mexican workmen, which now would be in the 'hands of Eng lish, Scotch, Irish and Welsh workmen if the divergence of value Between silver n! irold had not taken place or ir tne Entrllsh government did not obstinately eppose any reform of the present mone tary laws." Supposing the first part o-t l.a allegation to be true is it at mi kelv that the business lost to the British Islands would be brought back there by change in the policy of the government on the silver question? There is no reason to think so. On the contrary, the d.ver- lone complained of are but Instances or he march of modern progress, in which the cipttal of Englishmen and others is belror Invested where It can be most pro fitably employed, the item or labor bo ng a hlBhly Important element in me toial cost of production. It may be that the changes noted were accelerated ny the widening of the ratio between gold nd silver, but M must have come anynow nd cannot now be stopped by any pos sible legislation In regard to the money m uls. With such n anunuanc or svsll.OJe labor In the Tounirles flamed as tx-lnjj rivals to Great Britain It always an be commanded at a relatively low prlve. U silver could be lirtid by leis laciwi the wages of those foreign toilers would be reduced, and If gold were de- pressed that would amount to a cut down in the wages of the British workers, un less they were correspondingly raised, in which case the proffered advantage would vanish Into thin air. On botii s.des of the Atlantic any chur.ge in the sliver policy which would increase the ability of producers to sell in competition with the free sliver coun tries only could come by means of a de preciation in the currency unit without a corresponding Increase ii the nominal wages pa.M to the wage-earners. In other words, all the advantage it is proposed to obtain is by a reduction in the effective power of the wages paid Ho the tollers. The free silver agitators count on being able to cut the unit of currency in- two whitout doubling the number of units to correspond with the decrease in the value of each unit. And many worklngmen in this and other countries are so foolish as to Join them In a demand for a change which would be the worst blow indicted upon American labor in the history of the United Btates. A CLOSE CALL. Heppner Gazette. Bert Simons, who has long since won the reputation of being able to shoe any broncho that ever grazed on the bunch gro-KS hills of Eastern Oregon, had an extremely oloee call yesterday and had ft nvt been for the prompt arrival and ac tion of Dr. Shipley, It is generally con ceded that he would never have recovered. Judd Rogers brought in rather a tine specimen of the broncho tribe of a sorrel complexion yesterday afternoon to have him shod, and informed the boys in the shop that Ithe animal was very wlld,but they hastened to assure him that none were two wild for that shop, thinking, perhaps, that the horse was not as wild as reported, and in fact many , a wilder and meaner one has been mastered by them. Joe Masterson, the heavyweight of the shop, was dispatched to hold the horse, while Bert hastily prepared for the operation, and walking around the horse. attempted to pick up his front foot, when the animal lunged by him, and as he did ro 'Bert struck thlm on the hip. Instantly 'the broncho kicked with great force, striking Bert with one foot Just over the heart. However, he was not knocked down, but staggered a short distance and with a groan fell to the floor. Doc. Ship ley, who was sitting out in the front of the shop, was at once called, and when he arrived neither breathing nor pulse beat were perceptible, and his eyes and moutn were both set. In this condition he remained for fully four minutes, but by I rompt action life was partially restored. though the breathing was apparently by great enrort, and the heart beat irregular. It was fully thirty minutes before Bert recovered consciousness and some time before ne was able to stand. As soon as able he was helped' into a hack and driven home, where, we are pleased to say, he Is beginning to feel like himself once more. We congratulate Bert on his successful escape from so close a call and trust that in the future he will not be too friendly with any horse of the cayuse or broncho variety.

The num ber of cases cured ia the early stages of the disease has multi plied, and physicians now assert that consumption can almost al ways be averted if good care and treatment are begun in time. Cod-liver Oil ought always to be a part of the treatment, and it should be taken in the form of Scott's Emulsion, which is palatable and docs not derange digestion.

"In the heart of the great desert of the Colorado which the Southern Pa cific road traverses there is an oasis called Indio, which, in our opinion, ii the sanitarium of the earth. We be lieve, from personal investigation, that for certain invalids, the-e is no spot oi this planet so favorable." G. T. Stewart, M. D., writes: "The purity of tho air, and the eternal sun shine, fill one with wonder and delight Nature has accomplished sc much that there remains but little for man to do. As to its possibilities as a health resort, -here is the most per feet sunshine, with a temperature al ways pleasant, a perfectly dry soil for rain is an unknown factor; pure oxygen, denss atmosphere and pure water. What more can be desired T It is the place, above all others, for lung troubles, and a paradise for rheu matics. Considering the number of sufferers who have been cured, I have no hesitancy in recommending this genial oasis as the haven of the afflict ed."
