The Astoria street railway, has
been in successful operation less than
si1months, but we notice there is G
marked tendency toward securing q
business location in the street through
which it passes. This is a natural
consequence, and Third street, for
merly Squemoqua) is destined, to be.
come the Kearney street of Astoria.
Leaving out Capt. Flavel's fine brick
building, the handsomest and most
commodious stores are to be found
on the line of the street railroad, i'm
provements are still going on, but
there is room for more. There are
several vacant lots on Third street
on which the owners are paying heavy
taxes and from which they receive no
income. We believe that all the lots
along the line OF that street. from the
custom house block to the o. II. & n.
Cos. dock, could be made remunera.
tive property, il the owners would 90
to work at once and erect buildings
suitable for business purposes. There
are men in town to-day, who are
desirous Of engaging in business here,
who cannot find a suitable vacant
store or building.

How Men Die.

II we know ell the methods of ap-
proach adopted by an enemy we are
the better enabled to ward off the
danger and pospone the moment when
surrender becomes inevitable. In
many instances the inherent strength
Of the body suflees to enable it to op-
pose the tendency toward death.
Many however have lost these forces
to such an extent that there is little
or no help. In other cases little
aid to the weakened Lungs will make
all the difference between sudden
death and many years of useful life.
Upon the first symptoms of Cough,
Cold or any trouble of the Throat or
Luugs. give that old and wellknown
remedy-Boschee's German Syrup, a
careful trial. It will prove what
thousands say of it to be. the "bene-
factor of any home"

The Astoria Iron Works, has as
much work on hand and orders to fill
as will keep their present force OF
twenty-five men busy till we'll on to
next spring. Arndt & Ferchen, and
the Pacific Iron Works, are suffering
from the same complaint. Sash fac
tories, planning mills, house carpen-
tiers and oil other artisans are all
working full handed, the only draw
back being the short days OF Decem-
Der. We predict that from this time
on, the growth of this city and in
crease in her population will be more
rapid and permanent than at any
other period Of the past history Of
this. the oldest town and only seaport
Of Oregon.

GIVE Us THE xAvY YARD!
II Will be Built on The Oregon or Washing.
ton Coast.

It Is about time for the Portland
board Of trade and Astoria chamber
OF commerce to pat aside the over
powering modesty that prevents
them from calling attention to the
advantages that the Columbia river
possesses for the location of so i'm.
portant a government work. THE
Historian has remained silent on the
subject, hoping that some OF the pow
erful journals in the metropolis Of this
state would raise their voice In favor
OF the Columbia river as the most
favorable location Of the proposed
navy yard, and in the hope that
they wonld be alive to the
interests Of the country~-they are
supposed to represent. But it seems
they have dropped all hold and are
going to let their rivals on the Sound
rake in everything on the board. 81
lence and modesty in case OF this
kind is liable to be mistaken for sto:
lidity, so The Historian ventures to
suggest to the board of trade of Port
land and the chamber OF commerce
OF Astoria that they unite their voices
and influence in securing the loca-
tion OF the yard on the Columbia
river. II the yard is located on the
Sound it will do Portland no good.
Ii it is at or near Astoria it will do
Portland some good. That PROPOSE
tion is plain enough, and the time to
act Is limited. -. .:..-.
The secretary of the navy last
Wednesday appointed Capt. W. 1.
Mehan, commander G. M. Chester
and lieutenant commander c.. II.
Stockton, board to select O site for
government navy yard on the Pacific
north OF the 42nd parallel, north lati-
tude, in Oregon, Washington terrific
ry, or Alaska, and will shortly start
for this coast. Whatever may be the
chances for success, it would be in
order Tor our chamber OF commerce
to take some pains and put forth
some effort in representing the ad.
vantages this port possesses for the
location OF navy yard. The adyan-
tage to Astoria Of having a navy yard
located here is too obvious to need
demonstration, so the work for the
chamber would be simplifed and
down to the one object of
offering inducements to- have the
navy yard located here. Astoria will
soon have railroad connection with
the rest of the world, and with the
improvements that are being made
on the bar should come the navy
yard. There will be a tremendous
effort to, have the yard&~l located
at the Sound and if no objection is
made or counter inducements offered
there is where it will be. - Il
A good many Astorians have spor
ken Of this matter, and they all agree,
that the navy yard should be located
on the Columbia river. Hero is fresh
water where vessels can lie for a. year
and then be cleaned with broom,
instead Of being covered with a, crust
of barnaeles as on the Sound. Here
are forests of timber, and up the
river little way are iron mills in
operation on inexhaustible deposits
Of ore. We've got everything re.
luired to supply a navy yard. Let
our boards Of trade open their
mouths and speak. II thing is worth
having it is worth asking for.
GIVE Us THE NAVY YARD!

AGRICULTURAL.
ToPICs OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Planting Fruit.

The planting Of all kinds Of fruit stock
should not be delayed after the ground
is in condition for it. Currants, black
berries, raspberries, &C., should be first
attended to, as they start to grow very
early. Nothing is gained BY hurrying
the work Of planting. Far better even
70 defer planting an orchard for another
year than plant in unprepared soil. BY
this we mean that ground for an orchard
should have been either summer fallowed
or worked up with root crops and we'll
enriched the year previous.
In accepting parcels of trees from the
nursery, see to it that each one has
proper proportion of tibrous roots, as in
many instances the workmen who dig the
trees from the nursery rows plunge their
spades in so near the trees as to ruin them.
Indeed in ordering trees it would be
well TO make it condition that the
roots should be Of certain length in
proportion to their height.
The hole should be made much larger
IN diameter than the roots demand, and
the tree should be set about the same
depth as it stood in the nursery rows.
Eli IN with only the best and finest
earth, and press it firmly about the roots.
taking great care that the roots are not
crowded together or bent out of their
natural course. -Neao Fork He9aIa.

CLAY and Other Pines.

~ don't know as ought to tell You
about it, said a well-known New York
dealer to Sun reporter, shut it is fact
that the soft white clay pipe, which costs
only apenny, is the healthiest aud clean.
est Of all the pipes now in use. 0fcourse,
the meerschaum is very good when it is
new, but it becomes unhealthy the older
It gets, consequently it is not fit to smoke
after It has been used six months, II you
have any regard for your mouth. All
pipes absorb, more or less, the nicotine,
whjeh is poisonous juice, and when the
pipe becomes full it unsuspectingly finds
Its way to the mouth and stomach. /
am acquainted with several persons who,
having used the same pipe for number
of years, have finally become seriously
poisoned. The clay pipe will soak up
twice as much nicotine as the meer-
schaum, consequently they should not
be used more than a dozen times,
especially when the tobacco is of
greenish coloror at all damp. Now, in
regard to wooden pipes, they ought never
to besmoked more than two months, and
in many cases not more than one month;
but this is according to the strength
of the tobacco people use in them.
After the white clay pipe comes the
meerschaum; then, third, comes the hard
earthen pipe; fourth, comes the wooden
pipe. then the porcelain pipe. and last,
and the worst, the metallic pipe.
The dealer was asked. .Do many
persons use cigar boldersfn
ssThat fashion" the dealer replied,
SIS gradually going out Of style. ]
] notice it Is either tovery young or very
old men that cigar or cigarette holders
are now sold. They are not very
odoriferous or handy to tuck away in the
pocket, and generally they are too ex-
p,nsiye to throw away after using them
only once.
