Furniture TRADE Sale.

An August Trade Sale Of
Furniture. Why not? Why
shouldn't the manufacturers be
glad to have no dull season and
no storage costs. Better by far
for them and the people back
of them to keep the wheels go
ing, even if they made almost
no profits. Better for you to
get Furniture little out of sea-
son and get a third or quarter
more for the money.
We reasoned that way three
years ago-and each August
since-with most gratifying re-
suits to the manufacturers, to
us, to yo~.
Now we are ready for the
Fourth annual
Furniture Trade Sale
under conditions which Tar sur
pass either of the preceding
ones in interest.
Only the leading makers
were consulted, and only the
choice of their goods taken.
ParIoY Suits
Chamber Suits
Sldeboards
Dining Tables
Chifomiers
Book Gases
china Closets
and a variety of other articles
of the very best material and
workmanship in their several
grades have been gathered at
prices heretofore unheard of.
The sale began on Tuesday,
August 1.
Every piece of Furniture we
sell now means something to a
workingman, somewhere.

IT DOES not seem entirely right to criti-
else public officer who interprets q law
for the benefit of the taxpayers, yet there
is possibility that too literal interpre-
tation of statute may work to the detri-
ment of the public. If correctly inform.
ed, we understand the county auditor re-
fuses to pay costs in the case of "drunks,"
unless the intoxicated persons are known
to have a settled place of residence, in
which case they go up as tramps, or I'M
der some heading in which the fees are
reduced. This, of course, prevents any
desire on the part of an officer to commit
fraud, whereby they may secure large
pay.
1t is question whether there should
not be some modification to this rule.
Under it an officer uses his own pleasure
whether he will arrest an offender. If
man is drunk upon the streets to such an
extent that it will be an easy matter to
conduct him to Jail, the officer offers no
objection to making the arrest, but if the
fellow is noisy and troublesome, the Off
Ger hesitstes and possibly turns his back.
That he does wrong there is no doubt,
but it is human nature for man to hest
tate to rush into danger and hard work
when there is nothing in it"
We have in mind recent case where
three drunken men were seen on the
street, and were allowed to go unmolest-
ed, when they should have been locked
up. These fellows were ringing door
bells, bothering housekeepers, frightening
women and making themselves generally
Objectionable.
The circumstances in connection with
an arrest should be taken into considera-
ton when a bill is audited. If man Is
drunk when arrested, and if an Off
Ger ls entitled to fees for that particular
kind of arrest, he should be paid them,
regardless of the question where the fell
lows residence is, for nine times out of
ten the man without home is, when in
toxicated, the hardest kind of subject
to handle

IT seems inadyisable to attempt by legis
lation to force reform that cannot be &C
complished easily, and that ought to de-
pend upon personal intelligence and self
interest. At the same time it is useless to
hope for permanent road improvement as
long as the ordinary wagon tire is used
How this came to be generally adopted is
a mystery, for the saying in weight OF
metal is easily offset by the greater depth
to which the wheels SO encircled will sink
in the mire and the greater force required
to drag them through it.
In all European countries where
smooth hard roads have been constructed
people would no more think of permitting
them to be cut to pieces by narrow tires
than they would of allowing man to set
at work digging them up with pickax.
There is an indirect way of getting at
change in the common custom of farmers
that would be very effective. To prohibit
and punish the use of the narrow tires is
practicable. but a tax levied an all farm
wagons having tires not exceeding GER
tain width would soon Danish them from
the public highways, and such an impos-
ition would be perfectly justified as there
ceipts from it would not suffice to repair
the damage which such tires cause. AS
an accompaniment of road reform, the
doption-enforced, if necessary-of
wider standard of wagon tires is neces-
sity.

]. H. De Force returned Wednesday
evening from an extended visit along
the Atlantic coast from New York to
Booth Bay, Maine. Mr.. De Forces visit
East was for the purpose of securing
the most improved machinery for the
manufacture of fish oil. For many
years he has utilized the refuse Of the
salmon canneries near this city for this
purpose. But the appliances he had
were imperfect and he could not ex-
tract all of the oil from the material,
and besides the manufacture generated
odors that proved notoriously offensive
to the nostrils of those who were COM
PEELED to pass the Oil works on their
way into the country for a
breat of fresh air Mr.. De
Force finds that Eastern fac
tories when they manufacture oil from
menhaden and pogies have greatly inn
proved machinery that completely ex-
tracts the oil from the fish by hydraul-
ic pressure and at the same time does
away dliiIOSI CilllSlf Will lAiS OhShSANS
odors. He has purchased some $4,000
worth of machinery and expects to
receive it in early April Mr.. De
Force declares that he will be able to
manufacture oil that will be pure
enough for table use. 1t is to be hoped
that his enterprise will be rewarded
with success and the breeze that sweeps
his works may be laden with balmy
fragrance that will be refreshing to
the passerby. Mr.. De Force hopes that
he may be able to dispose of the pressed
cake after extracting the oil, for fetil-
izing purposes or by molding in
smaller blocks, and encasing in tin foil
he may to a great extent supplant
the limburger cheese of commerce.

astoria Examiner.)

What lot of moral towards Astoria
contains? They are in the pulpit, in the
saloons. and in public office. They all
know, or should know, that gambling
goes on in spite of a strict state law;
yet they wink at it, derive an indirect
revenue from 1t, and get out in the
street and shout, Don't license gam
blngw Then they crawl into their
holes, and gambling begins ere the echo
of their shout dies away
The majority of the community is
against licensing or tolerating gam
bling, yet that majority has been un-
able for sixteen years to enforce its
opinion against a powerful minority.
Why? Because there is no force in
ornamental opinions. This is quality
the temperance and anti-gambling ele-
ment does not seem to possess; If it
does it is dormant.
Gambling is a crime. 1t is demoral-
izing, and should be suppressed. Public
morals should never be so low that
they will cover the crime of gambling
with hypocrisy. 1t should never come
to pass that the ordained minister Of
God would take the hand of dive
keeper and be led like a blind man into
the ditch. And this, for the sole pur-
pose of gambling and running in the
dark. When such things can be, there
is need of wise counsel, decisive action
and common sense.
