During his 'address Humphrey said: "Of what relative value is the Atlan tic squadron now in the Pacific ocean except for show and parade? In case of war you cannot employ foreign ships to, carry coal. There are not sufficient ships for that purpose in the Pacific and a fleet of battleships with out coal is as useless as a war fleet without guns. I do not believe we are going to have war with Japan but if war should come, I want my coun try to be prepared. I believe in the doctrine of the big stick laid down by our President in the terms of the old proverb, 'He that carries a big stick and talks softly will travel far.'

TELLS OP KOREA. SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 21.-D. W. Tevens, diplomatic adviser to the Korean council of state, was an arri val yesterday on the Nippon Maru, returning on a leave of absence after service of several years in Japan and Korean. Stevens was at one time secretary of the American legation at Tokio, and later was attached to the Japanese It-Ration at Washington. In 1904, under the treaty between Ja pan and Korea, he was appointed to his present position. Stevens says that Korean people have been greatly benefitted by Jap anese protection and that they are begining to look more favorably on it. He says the Japanese are doing for the Koreans what America is do ing for the Thillippines. Continuing, he said: "You can get some idea of the con dition before the war from thiTstate ment that the government was spend ing 3,000,000 yen annually on a stand ing army of 60,000 yen on public edu cation. The people are divided into two classes, the peasantry and the official classes. The former were ground down until nothing but a bar? existance was left from their labor, while the official was thoroughly cor rupt. "The peasants have welcomed the Japanese, while the official class has vtot. but even the officials are begin ing to see that the only hopes for the country lies in a reorganization of the old institutions," COLOMBIA OOLD MINING. NEW YORK, Mar. 21.-Clalming to have paid out $2,000 in gold dust in two months in Colombia, Adam Humbolt of Washington, arrived hers yesterday on the S,.S. Venctla from Santa Maria. With him was C. W. Ilriiin, who had $300 in dust as the re sult of ten days labor, he asserted. Both men were enthusiastic over the field for mining they had visited and said they expected to return and ob tain more of the precious metal. They had penetrated far into the In terior with only such supplies as they were able to carry on the backs of mules. Bad roads made the convey ing of machinery to the fields impos sible, the miners say. Both men con fidently assert their belief that Co lombia bids fsir to become a second California, so far as gold production l concerned. FAST ON THE ROCKS Unsuccessful Attempts to Float Steamer Saratoga. NEWS CABLED FROM VALDEZ Very Little Hope is Entertained In the Northern City That the Steamer Can be Pulled Off the Rocks With out the Aid of Wrecking Steamer. SEATTLE, March 21.-A cable to the Post Intelligencer from Valdet, says the attempts to pull the steamer Saratoga off the rocks this afternoon were unsuccessful. It is thought at Valdez that there is little hope of freeing the vessel without the aid of a wrecking steamer. ATTACKED BY WOLVES. CHICAGO. Mar. 21.-A despatch to the Tribune from Cheyenne, Who., says: Attacked by a large pack of timber wolves, the drivers of the Italian car in the New York to Paris race, were forced to use rifles and pistols Thurs day night near Spring Valley to drive the hungry animals away. The car was creeping along over a muddy road when the cry of the wolves was heard behind them, and the animals, growing more savage every moment,- surrounded the car. They were not frightened by the toot ing of the horn on the machine, nor did they fear the light that were flashed on them. They snapped at the rubber tires and then the weapons were brought into use. Cowboys yesterday picked up pelts of twenty wolves slain by the Italians. SEARCHING FOR DAUGHTER NEW YORK, Mar. 21,-After three years search on his own account for his missing daughter, involving the expenditure of more than $9,000 James Gcwitsch, a retired milliner, has finally appealed to the police to find the girl. If she is still alive the missing girl, Olga, is 23 years old. Since her disappearance private de tectives have searched for her in half a dozen countries. Mr. Gewitsch said last night that he felt sure his daughter was still living. "I hope she may see some account that may be printed of attempts to find her," he added, "or that the police may locate her." He believes the girl ran away to go on the stage. There is $5,000 wHIed to her by a relative in Austria, held in trust for her but she has made no effort to get it, The platform Mr. Bryan wrote for the Nebraska Democrats declares that "emergency currency should be issued and controlled by the Federal Gov ernment." There is not the slightest doubt that Mr. Bryan is as much a greenbacker as ever and that he con siders the government flat alone a sufficient security for all paper money. AMENDMENTS AM LOST Ruled Out on a Point of Order. INCREASE OF SALARIES Almost the Entire Session Was Consumed With Considering Appropriation Bills. 'WHITE BUTTON ED MANDARINS' Culberson Said it Had Often Been Charged That American Goods Are Sold Cheaper to the Foreigner Than to the People of This Country. WASHINGTON, March 21. Al most flie entire session of the Senate was consumed with the consideration of the legislative, executive and judic ial appropriation bill. The bill final ly passed and carried an appropriation of $32,945,000 the amount added to the House biU being $642,000. The amendment offered by Senator Dixon to an increase of the salaries of about a dozen clerks of the Senate commit tee from $1800 to $2250 called forth a spirited discussion in Senate but it went out on a point of order. In dis cussing his amendment, Dixon made the complaint of favoritism to an old Senator, whom he characterized as the "White buttoned mandarins." Bacon offered an amendment for an increase of 20 per cent for all gov ernment employes in this city, who receive not more than $1800 but it was also lost on a point of order. In order that .the government agents who are investigating trade conditions abroad might report upon the whole sale and retail prices' at which Ameri can gods are sold abroad, Culberson offered an amendment to the bill. He said it had often been charged that American goods are sold cheaper to the foreigner than to the people of this country and is in some cases de nied, and he wanted to know the facts. Aldrich said if such an investigation was to be carried on it should be brought through a properly framed resloution and on a point of order was sustained against the amendment. FIRST OFFICIAL STEP Taken by the CLATSOP COUNTY REPUB LICAN CENTRAL COM MITTEE. The following is the text of the call uttered yesterday by Chairman W. F. McGregor, of the Executive Committee, of the Republican Central Com mtitee for Clatsop county, to the members of that main body: "Astoria, Oregon, "March 21, 1908. "Sir: A meeting of the Clatsop County Repub can Central Committee will be. held at the office of the Alaska Fishermen's Packing Company, on Wednesday, March 25th, at 2 o'clock p. m.

SEATTLE, March 21.-A cable to the Post Intelligencer says that the Douglass Island local of the Western Federation of Miners this afternoon called a strike and notices were sent out to order the union men and sympathizers to stay away. CROWDED Twelve Hundred Factory Work ers to the Acre. SING SING ACCUSED OF THEFT "Chairman Executive Committee," Other Interesting Conditions and Items Happening in Largest City on American Continent There Are Over $4,000,000 Yachts For Sale. NEW YORK, Mar. 21.-As a re sult of the money stringency the strange features never before en countered is presented here of a bar gain counter sale of yachts by New York's millionaire. More than $4, 000,000 of the'largest pleasure" ves sels of the city's wealthiest inhabit ants are now on the market at great ly reduced prices. That the tremen dous expenditures incident to the maintenance and operation of a steam yacht will keep ashore many New Yorkers who formerly took to the sea in their own craft each year can not be doubted. If present condi tions continue, it is likely that a sacrifice of automobiles will come next At present more than fifty of the largest yachts owhed here are in the market, an indication of the des ire of the city's rich to retrench. They run in size from a 300 foot ocean going yacht to the seventy foot racing sloop, and in prices from $300, 000 for the former to $5,000 for the latter a mere fraction in each case of the original cost and present value. Most of the yachts are offered at a sacrifice constituting a significant in dication of the present proverty of New York's millionaires and many of them contain decorations in the shape of rugs, pictures and furniture valued at many times the price asked for the boats. That the throwing of more than $4,000,000 worth of these craft on the market at present is an indication of the pitiful plight of the poor millionaire is evidenced by the fact that the list of owners anxious to secure a few pennies for their pal atial pleasure craft comprises such names as Gould, Vanderbilt, Astor, Leeds, Billings and others here to supposed to be beyond the pinch of hard times. Although a walk on the East Side would show anybody who cared to look the astonishing conditions of crowding, squalor and misery under which a large proportion of the city's population lives, apparently a vast I number of New Yorkers had no idea of what these fully were to judge by the interest that has been aroused by the Exposition of Congestion held here during the present week. One ra.ther surprising point brought out by this exposition has been the con gestion of industry as well as popu lation that exist here. It was shown that a single block just east of lower Broadway in the manufacturing dis trict contains over 4,000 workers, or 1,210 to the acre. There are no sky scrapers in this block, the height of most of the buildings being about twelve stories. If one will construct a mental pjcture of more than twelve hundred persons working on a ground space of a single acre he will gain some impression of the intense activ- REFUSES III RAISE AGES Packers Association Will Not Concede. DEMANDS OF FISHERMEN Will Probably Result in One of the Biggest Shipping Strikes in Recent Years. SCHEDULE 7 PER CENT LESS Tomorrow the Union Win Meet if Majority Decide to Strike it May be Necessary to Lay up the Entire Salmon Fleet SAN FRANCISCO, March 21. The refusal of the Alaska Packers' Association to concede to the demand of the members of the Fishermen's Union relative to a raise in wages for, the ensuing season in Alaska, will in all probability result in one of the biggest shipping strikes in recent years." Tomorrow the unon will have a meeting and if the majority decide to strike it may be necessary for the company to lay up the entire salmon fleet. According to a statement of the union officials, the wage schedule this year is fully 7 per cent less than it was last year and they can see no reason why the Packers' Association can not comply with their request President Fortman of the Alaska Packers' Association declares that the fleet will sail on time regardless of the attitude of the fishermen. ity that goes on in the most crowded beehive of industry in the world. There are many other parts of the city that are almost as crowded as this, one district of 186 acres, about the size of an average farm, contain ing over 2,000 factories employing more than 90,000 workers. Health, like about everything else, is at least twice as expensive in New York as elsewhere. For once in a way its expensiveness, of which the city is rather proud, is likely to re act in a serious manner affecting the safety of life itself. As a result of various suggestions in different states to establish some form or regulation of physicians' fees, statistics bearing on this subject have just been collect ed for the first time by Appleton's and are now appearing in its April number. They illustrate in an aston ishing manner the effect on public health so far as its care is concerned of the conditions which makes New York the most expensive city to live in in the United States. As a result of these conditions Father Knkker- ibocker finds himself in the position of being less able to attract the most capable medical talent than are smal ler communities, since on the author ity of an eminent physician $30,000 is not too high an estimate for the modern Capua before the young doc tor can be self supporting. In this country, based on the statistics which have been collected from more than 6000 doctors in every part of the Union, the cost, including education, will hardly average more than $15, 000 including education. Moreover the figures show that while the prac titioner who settles here cannot ex pect to be self supporting much be fore he is 33 years old, the young doctor in the smaller communities can do so several years earlier.. While this subject has never been brought to notice before since statistics have FINAL DRAFT PAID. DENVER, March 21.-?he final draft of $25,000 of the $100,000 fund subscribed for the Democratic con vention has been mailed to the democratic national committee by the Denver convention league. PORTLAND, March 20. At this time of the week the demand for poultry is usually stronger than at any other time, but the market has been a dull one all ths week and there was no perceptible improvement today. Hens are quoted at 13ic to 14c, Springs at 14c to 14k and fryers at 17c to 18c, while it is hard to dis pose of old roosters at 9c to 10c a pound. Recent receipts of storage polutry from the East are still an ad verse factor in the market SPECIAL MESSAGE President Will Send One to Con gress Next Week. A LEGISLATIVE PROGRAMME Measures Proposed Involve Perplex ing Difficulties and Will Have a Far Reaching Effect on Business and Economic Conditions of. Country WASHINGTON, March 21-Presi-dent Roosevelt has determined on a legislative program, the enactment of which will be urged upon Congress in a special message which he said today will go in next week. Each of the measures proposed involves perplex ing difficulties and each will have a far reaching effects on the business and economic conditions of the coun try. The program is the product of important conferences through which the President has been put in posses sion of the views of all the interests concerned. Likewise the attitude of the leaders of both branches of Congress have been made known. Its success de pends upon the combined effort which he believes can be brought to bear in behalf of the whole plan by those affected especially by some of its features. The program includes the declara tion in favor of a revision of the tariff in a speicaj session to be held after March 4, 1909, an amendmend to the Sherman anti-trust law so as to make important concessions to the combinations of both labor and Capi tal Limiting the powers of certain courts in the use of the injunction in labor dsputes. The passages of the Aldrich financial bill. never been collected, these figures would seem to indicate that the doc tors are justified in charging more for their service here than in other places because it costs them more and takes longer to establish a pay ing practice. The movement to establish here a school of really American art has re ceived new impetus from the utter ances of the various English sculptor George E. Wade who sailed from this city for England this week. As England's foremost sculptor, Mr. Wade's opinion is entitled to carry weight. He said plainly before leav ng that he thought it a great pity that America, with so many artists of real ability, should contnue to allow them to obliterate their national personality in old world schools and advanced the opinion that it would be better to keep them here by force to develope the principles of characteristic Ameri cans. Mr. Wade rather controverted the prevailing idea when he contend ed that America is peculiarly gifted with the artistic temperament which he considers to be in its broadest sertse enthusiasm for whatever work may be in hand. As Mr. Wade is the author of such famous works as the (Continued on page 8.)

We have the word of a Portland capitalist who is quite close to th: grain trade that a beginning is to be made this fall in the matter of send ing gTain abroad from this port. While this is grateful news, it does not surprise us so much as the old contention that such commercial en terprise was impossible. Such a departure in the grain-handling of the Northwest is as inevitable as it is overwhelmingly logical; and only a mistaken policy, adhered to on the score of local prde up Portland way, has kept the plan from practical operation 'and immense success, all these years. Portland, will, of course, own, control and direct the business; that is as inevitable as the other proposition and no one deprecates the conclusion, nor the fact. What we of Astoria want is recognition and the common-point rate. These secured, by whatever agency, the rest will as sert, and adjust, itself all in good time and along the lines of least resistance, as all commercial affairs do (when they are permitted to.) There are those who will say this but anothers phase of the old, old song which this port has been carol ing for the better part of a century, unsatisfied, ungratified; but it is the only song we have the right to sing, and we are glad to lift our voice in a newer refran, rather than not sing at all. Besides, there are new instrument alities at work on this proposition, now; buge investments and plans and interests, that must coalesce in the un fettering of this port and its rational exploitation, in due time; and there are terminal issues, in which this city and port have never figured until this year; transportation men and shippers are awakening to the trenchant fact that from $2000 to $5000 are to be saved in the way of quick despatch and port-charges on every ship load ed out of here, and this is an appeal that will, sooner or later, have its rightful bearing in the maritime nego tiations of the Northwest. So, we are taking the word of the Portland man in this relation, on the mere assump tion that he is talking well in line with what is reasonable, and clearly within the prospect, tme, logic and the law of commercial expansion, have set up for this place.

THE DEMANDS OF LABOR. Every rightly balanced man in the i-nrtcu states win oe glad to see a big measure of success reaped by the acknowledged labor leaders of the country, now before Congress with a plea for amendatory and helpful legis lation in matters of advanced moment to the working crafts of the nation. As usual, the President is carefully scanning the program presented and proposes to go so far in the premise as is rational, and to recommend everything that is prudent and timely that they are asking. And again as usual, he is not going the length of their desires, at this particular time, because he does not believe in making their specific demands the leading issue of the hour. And the wise men in charge of the demands are realizing the ex pediency of his reservation and will join with him, in the end, for the ac complshment of all that may be had at this time. This is sensible alround, and will tend to strengthen the claims of th; great federations upon the Congress of the people when the further and greater demands are in line for pres entation and treatment Like all immense interests, those of labor must be wrought in patience and persever ance and abide the partial successes as they shall result. There is nothing wise, well-balanced, unified labor cannot have if it goes about the thing as its real leaders direct Before the People Card of Candidates in the Coming Campaign.

E. B. TONGUE. TODAY AT THE CHURCHES. Those who urge that there should be no currency action at this session of Congress have a short memory on the sudden visitation of John Smiths. Gov. Johnson of Minnesota refuses to be interviewed on his candidacy. Mr. Bryan will be puzzled by this prompt introduction of the noiseless gun. Some of the European countries are inspecting their schoolhouse exits. A calamity like that in Cleveland touches a chord that responds everywhere. Rawhide, Nev., claims a great gold discovery. That state would strike the country as more opulent if it would organize at least one company of militia. CRITICS AND CHAMPIONS. It makes pleasant reading, this criticism and championing of Presi dent Roosevelt, alternating through the newspaper columns of the coun try ;and especially when one observes the unflagging energy with which the President goes right ahead and does and says things that suit the people "down to the ground." He is no panderer to popular laudation; he has a reason for every thing he does and a conviction of its righteousness, else he would not do it; and cheerfully, yet rarely, admits what of mistakes he has made and goes about the remedy with the same snap that characterized the original act. He will never be so great as when he shall have laid down the trust he now holds from, and for, the people; and the people will never lose sight of him nor give him a living hour of freedom from the specific duty of guarding and caring for them. He is no perfect man, but he is homest and strong and helpful, and a masterly A national buffalo preserve com prising twenty square nines is pro posed in Montana. The suddenness with which the buffalo nearly vanished is a lesson on extermination that ought to be heeded. A "life-long Democrat" writes to a Hartford Democratic paper to say that "A galvanized corpse can beat Bryan. Bryan can beat a drum." Some of the Democrats are getting mad on the subject of the third licking. As the hand and voice of the anar chist are against every one, it is nat ural and necessary that society should take up the challenge with that un derstanding. It is easy to foresee that the treatment will be through. DONE BY DEED W. A. Donnelson and wife to G. W. Cloud, lots in Ocean Grove, Laurel Park and Upper Astoria; $1600. W. E. Dement and wife to J.

Since the steamer Dailey Gatxcrt has been acquired by the "North Bank" Railway, along with the rest of the Regulator line fleet, the Dallas City, Capital City, Metlako, Stranger and Cruiser, orders have been made for the erection of a num oer ot auuitionai staterooms on board of her; and as it is a well known (act that she has far too many rooms for her recent service on the Portland-The Dalles run, it is now conceded that she is to enter the S. P. S. summer service on the Columbia between this city and Portland and Vancouver, to counter-balance the summer-resort traffic heretofore en joyed almost exclusively by the T. J. Potter. There is no effort made to deny this project at and around Port land, any longer, and it may be looked upon as settled. The steamer Alliance arrived in from Coos Bay yesterday and docked at the Callender dock at 2 o'clock. She had 77 passengers on board and about 100 tons of freight for this port and Portland. The British steamship Strathblane has finished loading her part cargo of lumber at the Tongue Point mills and has cleared from this port for Cal cutta, via Portland, at which place she will take on the balance of her load. She went up stream yesterday, with 1.280,000 feet on board. The Elmore motor schooner Evie was among the arrivals in this port yesterday, hailing from Alsea Bay, with a general cargo. The rustling old Harvest Queen is due down this morning after the French bark Eugene Pergeline, bound for the metropolis, for wheat. The British ship Largiemore did not get started up for Portland until noon vrsterdav. the Oklahama having her on starboard bow. The British ships Brodrick Castle and Leylaml Bros., are still lying at anchor off the Tongue, disengaged. The French bark Cornuil Bart, Cap tain Guillon, from Antwerp, for Port land, is in port after an uneventful passage of 136 days, and will take the first tow that offers up the river. The British bark Cclticburn, Cap tain Daniel, from Santa Rosalia, for Portland, is at anchor below, and ready to be hauled to the metropolis, for the wheat cargo awaiting her. The steamship Breakwater is due in this morning from Coos Bay, and she will return down from Portland on Thursday morning next. The steamship Argyle, of the oil fleet, entered port this morning and went on up the river without any de lay here. The steamship Senator came down from Portland at an early hour yes terday morning, and went to sea and San Francisco, after a brief stop at the O. R. N. piers. The United wireless station on Smith's Point picked up a voluminous message from the battleships Tennes see and Connecticut, which was waft ing its way to the navy department at Washington. 4 C C C C Fisher Brothers; Company 80LEAQENTI V 1 Barbour and Fliitavartn ilmm Tulna m4 Mtu McCortnlcH Hirreitlnt Machine Oliver Chilled Floughi Mtlthold Roofing Sharpies Cream Separators Raecollth Flooring Storretfs Tools Hardware, Groceries, Ship Chandlery Tan Bark, Blue Stone, Muriatic Acid, Welch Coal, Tir, Ash Oars, Oak Lumber, Pipe and Fittings, Brass Goods, Paints, Oils and Glass FUherraen'e Pure Manilla Rope, Cotton Twin and Seine Web Wo Want Your Trade FISHER BROS.

NEW YORK, Mar. 21.-With more than 2,000 high school girls using mental telepathy to force the issue, the board of estimates yesterday ap proved an appropriation of $600,000 to build a new high school, to be cal led the Washington Irving High School. Some time ago the land was pur chased and all that was necessary was the money for the building. Peti tions signed by every pupil in the school and several thousand others were sent to the board. At half past ten o'clock, when the board consider ed the matter yesterday, all class duties were laid aside in the present school and every pupil was asked to think hard and urge on the board af firmative action. "Appropriate the money and give us a new school" was said mentally by the entire school and the mental process apparently had its effect, as the board passed the appropriation. The new building will be erected in Irving Place, between sixteenth and Seventeenth Street.

The eaite with which mrrschaum can be carved, it whiteness, and the fine polish it lake with wax render It especially suitable for elaborate carving and artistic treatment in tne manufacture of pipe.

An long an there is absorbed wax in the tneerchaum the color of the pipe will grow darker and with continued smoking will become nearly black. It i therefore necessary to "fix" the color of the pipe when the proper shade Is reached. The method employed to accomplish this is in part a trade aecret. The manufacture of meerschaum into pipes is a thriving Industry In parts of Germany and Russia, em ploying more than 3(100 workmen. It is said that the supply of mersch urn for this industry is becoming low and the discovery of deposits of the mineral in New Mexico Is therefore interesting. Two deposits of meerschaum have been located In the upper Gila River allcy, one about 23 miles east of north of Silver City, the other at a mine about 12 miles northwest of Silver City. Mr. Douglas D. Stcrrett, of the United States Geological Survey, visited the mine In October, 1907, and has prepared report on the deposits there which-has just tee published by tfia Survey as a part of to advance chapter of Bulletin No, 340, "Contri butions to Economic Geology, 1907," The deposit lies In the bottom and wulls of the canyon of Bear Creek, ucciirlng in veins, lenses, team, and bulls in limestone in both nodular and massive form. The nodular meer schaum thus far tested contain Iron Mains and particles of grit and Is in ferior to the meerschaum of Asia Minor. The more compact, massive material may perhaps be found free from stains and of better quality. Mr, Sterrctt's report sketches brief ly the geological relations of (he dc posits, describes the mode of occur rence of the meerschaum, and per sent the result of chemical and physical tet and analyse of the mineral, The pamphlet containing the report may be had on application to the Director of the Survey, at Washing ton, D.

The monks, however, will not agree to this and after singing "The Angelus," they arc about to withdraw when Michael, one of the oldest of the monks, calls attention to the fact that he has learned by reading a news paper, that a Johannus Guggenheimer, of Nurenberg, advertises that he has for sale a doll that can sing, talk, dance, laugh, cry, and is so life-like that it cannot be distinguished from a human being. At Micheal's sug gestion the money that the monks have is scraped together and Frede rick is sent forth to purchase the doll.

Frederick and the toymaker strike a bargain and the supposed doll, with a card of instructions is turned over to Frederick. Frederick attempts to handle the supposed doll and its mischievious pranks provoke no end of laughter. The next scene shows the home of the rich Court Ballenberg, here Frederick has brought the doll and all arrange ments are made for the wedding. The rich uncle and his eccentric old friend Schwartzenbach are much pleased with the prospective daughter-in-law, who is not compelled to appear stiff and awkward like when left alone with the old gentleman. The wedd ding over, Court Ballenberg is about to shower his blessings on the happy pair when the old toymaker appears on the scene and informs Ballenberg of the decription. A surprise, is how ever, in store for the toymaker, his wife rushing upon the scene exclaims, "Stop the Wedding. Your daughter, Elsa, and not the Doll has been mar ried." The finale of the scene shows everything in consternation, the par ents of Elsa, the relatives of Frede rick, and the wedding guests rushing pell mell to the monastery where Frederick has taken the doll. The supposed doll in the midst of the last scene in the second act shows the monks who are horrified at some of her pranks. The monk in charge has ordered the doll taken to the wood shed to be chopped up when the wed ding guests rush on. The audience has opportunities galore to split its sides with laughter at the amusing complications which ensue. Fred erick, however, announcing that he has since learned that his bride is not the doll but a real woman of flesh and blood, and loving her dearlyi decides to forsake his calling. Ballenberg after his anger is subdued informs the monks that he will settle a fortune on them; Peter, the foreman of the Toy shop, arrives with information that he has repaired Guggenheimer's wounderful doll and everything ends happily. Some beautiful scenery, the effect in the first act showing the Toy shop in full working order, being one of the most effective placed on any stage, gorgeous costuming, humor of the most uproaring nature, and ear tickling music interpreted as it is by Mr. Healy's Company, Make "The Toymaker a most delightful affair. 0 J iff W-'J fek t i jlf 7T kM4 Y'VH; m rih .-fK Yfi Mvw y;j; UiW-. jv "-aa h O'' r,ii.f-ii-jnr.Wwr.ninriilMLiii miitiiurK iiwf mm w1rmwiTinY-nrirri njaii-nmft.MTriHn nihitmiwiiSii iftTfflllfililli-.ilv---lY.1irrrwwi..nw.-M,i., ftinii -m nrM-fffnl-TKirwl m 11 it ll i i nmnrhron imn itmin i u 'nil mi rm n in r ininiiii i j A Scene in Act 2 of The Toymakers.

BON TON MILLINERY STORE GEORGIA PENNINGTON 483 Bond Street MEETING OF CLATSOP FRUIT GROWERS SOME OF THE BEST APPLES IN NORTHWEST ARE CROWN IN CLATSOP COUNTY -INSPECTOR C. S. DOW PRESENT. The fruit growers of Clatsop county met yesterday at the Chamber of Commerce rooms and interchanged ideas with each other and the fruit inspector, C S. Dow. Those present convinced them selves that some of the best apples in the northwest are grown in this vicinity. One grower who has owned and attended orchards here and in the Willamette Valley, made the asser tion that apples could be grown about Astoria cheaper than at any other place in Oregon. Home experience and observations of fruit growing in other portions of the State were discussed. It appeared that San Jose scale and codlin moth cause no trouble in this district It was recommended that lime-sulphur spray be used through the sum mer to destroy fungus growths, in cluding moss. Bordeaux mixture could be used in the winter while the trees are leafless, but it was dangerous to use after the leaves and fruit are on the trees, as it sometimes burned them. Whitewashing the trunks and large limbs was considered good. Pruning should begin early in the life of the tree by clipping back the branches so that there would not be large limbs to remove later, which injures the vitality and mars the beauty of the tree. Those present were urged to thin the fruit so that one apple shall not touch another. Drain the ground and fertilize the soii. A vigorous tree will also great ly protect itself from the attack of parasites. Some varieties of apples were said to be less subject to fungus growths than others. Mr. Dow stated that he expected to make an exhibit at Salem during the State Fair and wogld take the best that the county shall be able to afford. The next meeting will be on the first Saturday in April and all growers as well as others interested in the apple industry are requested to be present. 4 C C C C NOTICE. Astoria, Or., March 20, 1908.

One family makes the cows, another the h.orses or goats, and still another the lions and ele phants, etc. Each family sells its pro ducts directly to toy agents who come periodically to buy the separate pieces. The manufacture of wooden ani mals is quite simple, but does not want for ingenuity. The work starts with a specially prepared circle or wheel of white wood, which is turned and grooved to make the outline of a pony, horse or deer. The toymakers slice these wheels as a loaf of bread is sliced. The roughly outlined pieces then pass into other hands in the family and by stages are gradually brought to a finished state.

The Zapf Hardware Furniture Company, of this city, has just put on the market the best and nicest baby go-cart for the money ever heard of in Astoria. It is the Allwin, and is to be had at the modest figure of $5.25. It is one of the easiest riders in carriages, and the baby that is indulged with one dimples all over every time it goes out. It runs smooth as silk and folds up till it is almost unrecognizable. Call and examine one before putting money into something not nearly, so satisfactory. The Allwins are all winners, sure enough! PERSONAL MENTION FIRST TRAIN GOES TO SEA. The dream that Hencry M. Flag ler began dreaming ten years ago, of uniting Cuba to the United States by an all-rail route to span the 200 miles of narrow seas which separate them, has just passed the greatest stage in its transformation to reality. So writes M. B. Claussen in the Techni cal World Magazine for April. The first section of the remarkable "sea going railroad" which Mr. Flager has been building for the past three years is now completed to the temporary terminal at Knight's Key, 109 miles south of Miami on the mainland and forty-seven miles from the ultimate end of the line at K:y West. On the same day that the passenger trains of Mr. Flager's road the Florida East Coast Railroad began running through from Jacksonville to Knight's Key the Peninsular and Occidental Steamship Company put on a direct boat service from Knight's Key to I Havana, 115 miles away.

There is one city in the world to day which bears an absolutely unique distinction, and that is Detroit the "City of rills." So writes J. Oliver Curwood in the Technical World Magazine for April. This year it is estimated that Detroit manufacturers will make three-quarters of the world's supply of pills, or over 6,000, 000,000 pellets, of all sizes, shapes and colors, and Intended for almost every ailment of human kind. In this city are made over 2,000 different varities of pills, and if a single season's crop was made of some deadly poison there would be enough to depopulate the entire globe twice over. To look at it in another way, if this annual har vest was strung, like popcorn, the rope of pills would reach three times around" the earth at the equator. To-day America is the greatest pill consuming nation on earth, for, while Detroit pills find their way to every conceivable corner of the globe, from the frozen regions of the Arctic to the deepest fastnesses of tropical jungles, not more than one-third of the total products leaves this country, the average consumption being some thing like sixty pills per capita per "You can't look foolish in a Wj Suit" W4 fMl It 2&f ;t I tf ttf 1 1 AT 4?

All in for the "Big Show." The greatest aggregation of wild and untainted talent ever gathered to gether for one occasion will be on exhibition at the Astoria Theatre, Monday and Tuesday, March 30 and 31. One price admits to all and every ticket of admission entitles the holder to a valuable prize.

Preparations are moving with enthusiasm and vigor and what will undoubtedly prove to be the greatest entertainment ever given in the local theatre, will be the result of all this activity among the Elks. the chairman of the local Rose" Festi val Committee, Mr. Lamar, that t he rould be present W briefly tell the members personally about the ar rangements that are being made, for this big entertainment. The brick and terra cotta proposition under the, di rection of Mr. Ogan is progressing satisfactorily and it is probable that he will have quite a large number of small preliminary samples to exhibit before the members, Thefciln will be put in operation next week if pos sible when the actual tests will be made in commercial siaes. A number of matters of an executive nature are to come up for consideration and the outlook for the year, Manager Whyte says, is highly satisfactory and encouraging. Speaks For Itself. Astoria, Or., March 23rd. Editor Astorian: In the last issued of a local paper appeared an item in which it stated that John Nolan had been in certain precincts circulating a oetition for W. C. A. Fohl for county coroner, and number of people thoueht it referred to me. I have not circulated any petition for Mr. Pohl for coroner or any other person. I ask that this be published to set me right before the public. JOHN F. NOWLEN. "CHARLIE" CALLENDER, Who Has Quit the Mines to Appear With the Elks. When "Charlie" Callender saw Sen ator "Bill" Scholfield's picture in the "Astorian" the other morning, pro fessional jealousy got the better of him and he protested strongly to the committee. He claimed to be a much better comedian than "Bill" and want ed his picture put in the paper. To pacify him and keep peace in the com pany, the director told him to have his picture taken for publication with the result that a splendid likeness of him adorns this article. Just as the photo grapher pressed the button, poor Charlie burst into tears, and the camera caught the sad expression which is depicted above. Notice the agony in his eyes, and the drop of his cupids-bow mouth. If you look carefully you can see the tears cours ing down his rosy red cheeks. How ever, everything has been arranged to his satisfaction and he has been prom ised a milk bath and the stars' dress ing room. "Charlie" is one of the shining lights in the company and will be seen n all his peistine beauty on both nights of the show. 4 C C C C CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

The regular meeting of the Cham ber of Commerce will take place at 7:30 o'clock prompt Monday evening, this being the last of the meetings of the winter season to begin at that hour with the first meeting' in April the hour of assembly will be 8 o'clock. A representative of the Rose Festival Association of Portland has notified TRAFFICKING IN OLD HORSES Horrible and revolting to the ex treme is the traffic in old worn-out horses reirularly caried on between Ensland and the Netherlands, ending with the final scene in which the most useful and human of all domestic an imals is served up on a platter in the form of so-called Bologna sausage and filet d'anvers. The sufferings of the horses are the most intense during the passage from England to Rotterdam on shipboard. Tied up in roughly constructed stalls between decks, they are at the mercy of the storms, and in many instances are thrown into tangled heaps on top of one another. All that sur vive are dragged from this tangled heap to start the miserable proces sion through the streets to the slaughter house, their most unsightly wounds covered with sacking.

A. Howell, of Havana, Cuba, Recommends Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. "As long ago as I can remember my mother was a faithful user and friend of Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy, but never in my life have I real ized its true value until now, writes Prof. H. A. Howell, of Howell's American School, Havana, Cuba. "On the night of February 3rd our baby was taken sick with a very severe cold, the next day was worse and the following night his condition was desperate. He could not lie down and it was necessary to have him in the arms every moment. Even then his breathing was difficult. I did not think he would live until morning. At last I thought of my mother's remedy, Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which we gave, and it afforded prompt re lief, and now, three days later, he has fully recovered. Under the cir cumstances I would not hesitate a moment in saying that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and that only, taved the life of our dear little boy." For ale by Frank Hart and leading drug gilts.

Too much fat is both uncomfort able and dangerous, but usually fleshy people prefer to put up with its in convenience rather than punish them selves with the tiresome exercising usually prescribed, or endanger their health by taking the so-called "cures' and patent fat "reducers." This self-sacrifice of comfort and health to over-abundant fat is entire ly unnecessary, however, as Mrs, Luella Bigger tells us there i a home receipt that is far superior in every way to anything money will buy for reducing superfluous flesh. It is said this simple mixture will take the fat off of man or woman at the rate of at least a couple of pounds a week with out even causing wrinkles. Moreover it does not disturb the stomach, but is a good thing for the system, clear ing away pimples, and, best of all, it does not interfere with the diet. You can use it and at the same time eat whatever you like. This receipt is as follows: 1-2 ounces Marmola; 1-2 ounce Fluid Extract Cascara Aroma tic and 31-2 ounces of Syrup Simplex Get these ingredients at any drug store, mix them together at home and take one teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. Mrs. Bigger, as is well known, is a famous beauty expert, and whatever she recommends is sure to be found eminently satisfactory. 4CCC C For Diseases of the Skin.

Consequently Father Knickerbocker who has always been known as a money maker than as an art producer, is hoping to balance the scale more evenly, while local artists organizations give promise of an early and concentrated movement to establish the long talked of but not yet achieved school of real American art New York's famous state prison at Sing Sing, through its official bead the warden, indignantly denies that it has been stealing water. The impu tation that it would steal anything arouses the righteous wrath of the famous institution which has housed wiore celebrated obstractors of other people's property than any other academy of crime in the country. The story which brought out the denial was that a secret pipe led from the Groton reservoir from which the city's water supply is drawn to the prison and that its inmates were en joying the luxury of free water which costs the metropolis itself millions of dollars a year. Even the hardiest muck raker has not heretofore dared to accuse a state prison of stealing. FACIAL EXPRESSION In his essay on Adrienne Le Couv reur, Sainte Beuve declares that act ress finest excellence to have been not her elocution, her eloquence, her temperament, nor any of the hundred and one other attributes that go to make up effective acting, but her skill in mute acting. "No one ever so perfectly under stood the art of mute acting the art of listening perfectly and yet acting with one's whole person while another character is speaking. Thus, full of soul and of feeling, an untiring stu dent, passionately in love with her art everything contributed to make her the great reproducer of the subt lest and finest of human emotions and this to a degree unsurpassed in her own day." It was by posture, by gesture, by facial expression particularly, that Adrienne Le Couvreur she who first made queens in the flesh of Shakes peare's queens in poetry attained the stature of an artiste in the affec tions of a people who had only known actresses.

Nature may aid much in equipping an actor with a fine facial exoression. Nature may give the actor the one talent a strik ing countenance. It is for the actor to multiply the gilt by practice ana by hard work until it becomes the ten talents of a finished art. Of livinor actresses, the counten ance of Marie Doro is a most strik ing instance to the extent that an actress may improve upon-Nature, and, through effort, obtain a wide range and an exact power of facial expression. These illustrations, expressive of amotions induced by lines taken at random from the play, "The Morals of Marcus", exhibit a range oi taciai play as varied and exact as it is rare. Partly in play, partly in earnestness, Miss Doro has developed to the full the actor's most effective medium of interpretation facial expression. The result is evident. The means of ob taining it worthy of record. It was as a member of the "Little Mary" company that Miss Doro, availing herself of waits between acts, or during the scenes of other players, got her best practice. In fun, as she thought, she vied with another girl actress at making faces, as two chil dren might do. Night after night she practised at this, amusing her friend, and being amused, until it came to her, unawares, that she could almost do what she wished with her count enance. This she realized one night on actually frightening her friend with a look of terror. Froni that on, Miss Doro has given time and pains to the furtherance of this power. Her methods are these two ti memorize a story, preferably one built of several contrasting ideas reflect upon it, and then tell it entire ly by facial pantomime to some one who has never heard it. It is diffi cult. In a majority of cases, as a nieans of telling the story, it is un successful. But the mere attempt is splendid mental exercise and the fin est kind of practice for obtaining a sure muscular control of the face. Her second device of especial help to Miss Doro in acquiring elasticity about the mouth, is the mastery and pronunciation of certain sentences in Italian, French and Spanish. Care ful utterance of even random phases, taken from any of the romance lan guages, which, when well spoken, are articulated and enunciated with a nicety unknown to the1 Anglo-Saxon speech, cannot be too strongly com mended to every actor and actress to whom correct speech and a skilful management of the countenance are as important as the very breath of life.
