Secretary Klncald has at last decided to not pay for newspapers sent to pub lic officials. This has grown to be an aibuse costing the state thousands of dol lars a year, and after consulting his pre decessor, Mr. Klncald has wisely decided to cut it off entirely. Mr. Klncald will audit no bills where there Is not a law clearly authorizing the same. This is straight (business. He will pay for his cwn newspapers, and others who are drawing good stalte salaries will do the same. South Oregon Monitor.

South Oregon Monitor. For aeveral weeks past a party of men have been bonding property near Medford with tlhe purpose of developing some ex cellent coal prospects. One of the first contracts for purchase was made with Samuel Furry and embraces land upon which some prospecting had been done. This place is located on the east side of Bear creek, three miles southeast of this city and about 800 feet above the level of the stream. Mr. Furry discovering some coal crop- plngs last fall proceeded to trace the vein and during the winter has excavated a tunnel about 75 feet. A well defined vein is visible very little inclined from level. The formation both above and below Is slate, while the coal, which is slightly interspersed with slate, is. about 100 feet thick. Those Interested in the enterprise are William Slinger, J. T. C. Nash, W. I. Vawter and L. Or. Porter of this city and two Portland capitalists. They have alto gether 1,600 acres of adjacent land bonded and will begin, this week getting out coal for shipment. The present tunnel will be enlarged and extended, eight feet wide and seven feet high, providing for per manent use. The product will be loaded upon wagons and hauled here for a car load shipment to San Francisco. Thomas James, an old Pennsylvania and Colorado coal miner, who commenced superintend ing the work yesterday morning, pro nounces the coal a reasonably good qual ity of lignite, and the shipment will be made for a test. The coal has been used successfully by tolacksml'ts here, hence the confidence in Its commercial quality. Mr. James comes highly recommended as an expert, and it Is expected his knowl edge will enable the owners to get the best results from dveloping the property. The mine is between three and four miles ftom the Southern Pacific railroad and If It becomes of marked commercial im portance the grade is such that a branch cuold be built at a nominal cost. WORK ON A Hi'.?H PLANE. Baker City Democrat. Anyone who observes a company of traveling meiv as they meet in a hotel lobby an dgo from place to place together will subscribe to the sentiment that these commercial salesmen do business on a piano higher than that of the average townsman. Watch the former as they meet, perhaps competitors trying to sell to the same local merchants ajj r allzlrg that if one sells the other :..a.: sell Just that much less. You will see, with an occasional exception, that tvie competi tion makes not a parttole of d.l'.'eronce In their cordialilty. When any one tpeaks doubtfully of the character of on? of these fellow strugglers for bustocEs, he wlU find the whole fraternity ready to take up the friend's cause and defend him to the last. Business men of a city should learn a valuable lesson from this. It is not to be supposed that these travelers have no misunderstandings. They do. But they settle them among themselves and to the outside world present a solid front. If the business mei. of any town could work on such a basis, you could not hold down such a town. It would grow and Improve all the time. HOPS A SHORT YIELD. Gervals Star. A report is circulating around already as to the probable crop yield of hops this fall. An estimate of 80.000 bales U given. This is by far too much for this state. conservative estimate made by Mr. Henry L. Bents and W. E. Her, of Butte ville, iwho are canvassing the hop growing ictlons, gives the yield at not more than 46,000 bales. They claim that from per sonal observation there is a short crop aJl along the line. There Is any Burn er of growers in Clackamas county that have not sold their last year's crop yet and are too discouraged to lake much in terest in the growth of hops. Many yards will not produce their full bearing on account of slack work being done. It ttkes care to make hops grow, and that has not been given the yards. As a con sequence almost ell the yards show the effect and rt does not take much of an eye to foretell a short crop. Despite Bad Weather and Ab sence of General Plan. THE NATAL DAY NOT FORGOTTEN Families Celebrate and the Citizens Meet in the Eveninff-Other Towns Have Blow-Outs. Notwithstanding the gloomy weather on the Fourth the day was generally ob served in Astoria. The he ids of families taught the young idea how to shoot along lines of patriotic ferver and assisted tut little ones to Impress the lessons of his tory by shooting the festive fire cracker. Soma visited tho neighboring towns, where celebrations were being held, some went to the seaside, but for the most .Astorians remained at home. In the evening the patriotically Inclined gathered at the Methodist church and en joyed a program of music and speeches appropriate to the occasion. Judge Gray, Mr. F. D. Winton, and the Rev. Daniel Staver delivered the addresses of the evening and Dr. Muillnlx presided. The Declaration of Independence was read by Miss Bessie Ross in an effective manner, Miss Mabel Williams recited the "Fourth of July." Mrs. J. T. Ross, Miss Edith Conn and a choir of girls furnished fine selections of patriotic music, and Messrs. Hardesty, Grlbble, Vadalln and Winton rendered "The iSword of Bunker Hill." Myrtle Bl'lnn and Clara Dunbar gave some phas ing declarations which materially assisted In the entertainment. Judge Gray, in brief, said: Mr. President, Ladles and Fllow dtl- sens: The Fourth of July is the birthday of the United States of America. This day of all others should ever be cele brated by every true American. This day has been since 1776 our nation al holiday. This Is the day when every true native born American should meet together in some way and show by act end deed that they love their country. On this day It Is the duty of all true patriotic Americans to meet, and by their example and enthusiasm, teach their chil dren and our adopted citizens the history, and recount to them the sacrifices mads by our forefathers and mothers that they and we might live In this "land of the free and the home of the brave." Tho American who would vota the Fourth of July a bore is a man of no country, and should be warned of con sequences that may Tall on the heads of his children. Let us resolve thalt in future we will show such persons that we are ready and willing to do our part to kindle anew the fires of patriotism on each and every anniversary of this day. r am reminded of the first general pub lic Fourth of July celebration held la Clatsop county in 1847, on the farm of Mr. Perry on Clatsop Plains, composed of about 100 Americans, thirty Hudson Bay men and about 100 Indians. The whites sat down to a picnic dinner on long tables, after that' was disposed of toasts and sentiments were given and read and to each was given cheer upon cheer, in Which all Joined' with unbundled enthusl asm. One of the sentiments given, was: "The American eagle, may she continue to scream until she can spread her wings from the Guif of Mexico to the north pole and from Cape Cod to the Pacific ocean, and whose bosom shall be dotted with our flag and commerce. Only a few days before the news had been received of Gen. Zach Taylor's vie torles In Mexico. The second Fourth, of July celebration of note in this country was held on the same farm in Clatsop Plains in 1861, at that time Owned by Mr. John Hobson. Prominent people from nearly all over the state were in attendance. I name the cities from which they came la their or der of population and prominence: Ore gon City, Fort Vancouver, Portland, St, Helens, Rainier, Oathlamet, Astoria, and Pacific City. The crowd was estimated from BOO to 700. My duties that morning began at 4 o'clock by milking a dozen cows. After breakfast I drove an ox wagon, often on a trot, to Sklpanon land ing and carried .from there two wagon loads of ladles (the men had to walk to the celebration grounds.) Unbounded patriotism prevailed during xne uay, ana a great ball at night closed this noted event. After Chat I-believe, that nearly every Fourth was properly celebrated until 1868. i wem away, returning in 1808. As a general thing our city has had celebra tions until six or eight years ago. Since that tme it has been a great effort to enthuse our people. Only a couple of years ago one of our naturalized citizens actually put up more than three-quarters of the money and paid for most of the labor necessary for tha,t creditable celebration. My shame at that time when I learned the facts is the causa of this, possibly over zeaous effort, to arouse our native born Americans to do their duty. Henceforth let all patriotic citizens unite to celebrate our country's birthday, and may we be rilled with the spirit of Commodore Stephen Decatur, who said: "My country, may she always be right, but my country, right or wrong, my, coun try." The Rev. Slaver's remarks were most pertinen: and timely, briefly stated they were es follows: We come here tonight as patriots. The occasion Is not one of party. Let all differences and party names be put aside and let us Join in celebrating the birth "a great nation. We have got the beet government on the f.ice of this round globe: But in the midst of our rejoicing comes the question. Is this government permanent? Will this republic last? Have we built tho ship ol e;ate s strong that she will out ride the storms that are sure to overtake her? Th.ae are questions well worth consider ing. Wnic is the ground of our belief in the permanency of this government? For one tiling it was born !n an age of en'.la'iitonmeat; in an age of discovery; in an age o popular uprising. It was born in an age .n which the telescope first locked Into the heavens, in an age in which the microscope 'first revealed the wonders hid in a drop of water, in au age when the barometer first felt the breath of the coming storm. It was born In an age In which great things were done in the world of litera ture and art; In the age of MIKon, Des carte, Newton and Shakespeire. Other nations were born :n t1m- f popular Ignorance; ours iwa: bul'.t upun the in telligence of the peopiu. Few pjp.e wave more to boast of than L'.ineri.ans. l:i al most every particular we are U'lilke tt..d superior to other nations; and in noth ing are we more unl.ke and t jperlor than in our national birth. We haJ a differs 1 starting point; different fundamental ideas; different experiences a'.J conse quently are realizing and will corJtlnue to reallzs different results. Again, we were the child of Providence. Wo may safely say that no nation but one has had a history so marked by th superlnteTding providonce of God. He ni this western continent uiitil the ages were rips for Its discovery. He kept it until his people chosen out of three na tions, were ready to take possession. God brought them here; they were as truly I called as wan Abraham out of Ur of the Chuldtes. Who can read the story of the revolution and not see God's hand on every page. Lord Chatham said: "For solidity of reasoning, for force of sagac ity and wisdom under a complication of dltllcult circumstances, no nation or body of men can stand In preference to the general congress of (Philadelphia." Never, we may add, in this world, before or since, were so many men of transcendant ability arrayed at one time around a com mon cause. They were God s master workmen raised up for the hour. And let us believe we have a mission In the earth. Ours Is not an idle experiment. Soon the dock yards of other realms will resound With the hammer stroke, forg ing and framing and building ships of state ttke ours. Men Will say, a craft that can weather such gales Is a model ; let us butld one like It. Our flog will be respected' more and more as the centuries roll on. The bats and owls of monarchies have gone to roost, while the eagle soars in the light of day. This nation is born to live. When th cyclone of 1860 struck us, men (aid: "Now the good ship of state will go down"; but we came out of the crisis stronger than ever. The cyclone of hardl times struck us, but the barometer in dicates fairer weather. But the future of this nation needs the care of every patriot. It has givot the world more than on hundred years of grand history, but Its future is yet an ex periment; but an experiment only be cause the character of its coming citi zen is yet undetermined. If they take fast hold upon our divine truth and guard their country's rights because they fear God and love their fellawmeni then, it w ill stand while time endures and and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. But the perpetuity of this government de pends upon the character of the voter. Select for your officers Impure and venal men, shut upf your schools, bcoH at re ligion, tear down your churches, feed your spiritual life on the husks of mater ial prosperity and the nation will soon totter to Its fall. Its takes something besides material prosperity to insure a nation's permanency. Pagan Rome was never so rich as when she had scarce a freeman left. In the middle ages, papal Rome stood raking In to chests the count less gold of her Jubilee, Just before she suffered her most humiliating shame. Spain was dropping to pieces of Inward decay when all the gold t the New World was flowing into the treasures of her kings. Wealth is not necessary to a nation's perpetuity; but Justice, mercy, temperance and public spirit are; and without these wealth may be. a sign of Inward weakness. Again the perpetuity of this government is to be guarded by the Word of God. This government was founded upon the iBlble. It was not born in the club rooms of French and German Infidelity, but In the hearts and homes of men who believed in God and His word. Let am live pure, honest, sober lives for the love of our country. Every good man is a reason why God should snare the nation and prolong its life. Lawyer Winton. closed the speech mak ing In his usual enthusiastic and earnest manner. FORT OAlNBY. The weather behaved better at Fort Canby and a large part of the well ar ranged program was carried out, all de claring that a most enjoyable and In structive afternoon had been spent. Fully COO people were assembled and Capt, Lo mla delivered the address of the day, which was a masterly effort. The salute to the Union of 44 guns was fired from tho hill by the battery AT SEASIDE. The rain at Seaside dampened the ar dor, of the people and very little of their elaborate program was carried out. number of visitors were present and spent the time in story telling, and quiet pleas' ures, while the youngsters fired crackers in the rain.

An Interesting Letter from Tacoma About Schools. Tacoma, Wash., July t, 1895. Dear Astorlan: It was my good fortune to arrive here in time to attend the commencement ex ercises of the Tacoma high school, and a few pointers cncernlng them may prove of interest to those who enjoyed the suc cess of our own school exercises. This is the first class completing the four years' course adopted by the Tacoma board for their high school, numbers thirty-one, nine of whom are boys. Each appeared on the program in essay, ora tion, recitation or debate, making with the music a lengthy entertainment. How long, I am unable to say, as eight num bers enabled me to Judge fairly for all. I can truly say that In appearance, man ner, voice, subjects of essay end treat ment of those subjects I felt very proud of our Astoria boys and girls In compar ing them with these. These exercises were good, but in no respect did they ex cel the work of out boys and girls. When Astoria has a large opera house and can supplement her graduating class by a chorus of seventy girls from the various schools, she can present to any audience as pretty a sight as Tacoma did. In tone, training, time and quality our Astoria high school choir under Mrs. Crosby's efficient Instruction showed better results than tills chorus of seventy. Though admission was charged the the ater was packed and Standing room even va at a premium. I am In a mood for comparisons, and I wn to see Astoria's magnificent, cres ei. : f 'hoped harbor bordered by hills and hi-:;.' t beautifully terraced with, smooth : 'awns, pretty houses and growing (.. : j place on the coast could make a ''ie:Ur Appearance If suitably and ap pi . . ia : , improved. mi.'i I reets and lawns are some- Mna o S -rini of, and while the city ly havo r.' vn too fast and have been V' u pleasantly by the hard times, U iv.j built for the future and very sub sta. -tia'ly. The city park at Point De fiance, with Its seven hundred acres, Is a place of vast possibilities, but save its fre quent notices forblding the picking even of wild flowers, Its bear pit with two black occupants, a deer paddock, drive ways and walks located, It bears few re semblances to a park. The car line to the park runs for t'tio last three miles through almost uninhabited country. "The History of Methodism" as the title of the booh my next neighbor in the car was reading was unnecessary to proclaim him a minister, but the wondtr as to his destination grow when only three of us were left and no sign of houses appeared, and a church seemed Impossible. At last he arose, gathered up his unmistakable packages of groceries and saying to the other passenger, "We're uoing some preserving alt our house," soon disappeared In the woods. Yei, thought I, as he went toward the set ting sun, there's more preserving being done by these pioneer preachers in their worn of soul saving and advancing civil izatloa than the world reiUzas. F. E. W. SEASIDE NOTES. It Is rather early for Ashing parties, though several expert anglers from this city and the metropolis have already made startling hauls on the Necannlcum. Over in the streams tributary to Elk creek and In the main stream Itself, ex cellent fishing can be had, but It will be several weeks before the angler will get into this country.

OBSTRUCTIONS ON THE HIGHWAYS Are sometimes allowed by the authorities to remain too long, but when that impor tant outlet to the refuse and debris of the system the 'bowels become obstruct ed, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters promptly 'raises the blockade." This it does, too, without creating any abdominal disturb ance in the way of griping, an unpleas antness always produced by a drastic purgative. No permanent, decisive relief from constipation can be obtained through the agency of a violent cathartic. Mandrake, blue pill, salts and senna and calomel, while they evacuate the intes tine, weaken and partly unfit it for fu ture usefulness. Hostetter s Stomach Bitters, on the contrary, invigorates the whole abdominal region, and promotes a regular secretion and flow of bile.
