A pusINEss PROPOSITION.


In Messrs II. C. Thompson, r. l..
Parker and w. F. McGregor the Repub-
llcans possess three nominees for the city
council who will be hard to beat They
are all fighters, and all three are promi-
nent young men of business who should
receive. irrespective Of party, the votes of
every business man in the city. One OF
them, Mr.. McGregor, is an ex-council-
man who, during his last term of office,
gave abundant evidence of his devotion
90 the citys interests and his sterling
good sense. No man who ever occupied
seat in the council chamber has bet
ter record. Messrs Thompson ana
Parker have well known and fixed ideas
on the various subjects connected with
local govern: lent, and, as they arc ac-
cUstOmed to think and act with sound
judgment in their private affairs, 1t is
certain that they will bring those qualifi-
cations to bear on public matters.
The selection of candidates for these
and other municipal positions in a city
IKE Astoria is simply plain, practical
natter of business, and all the wrongs
that our people suffer from municipal ad-
minlstration are entirely of their own Gre
alton through their deliberately chosen
egents. II the people elect officers who
seek their positions for the purpose OF
profit, the people whom these corrupt
men represent should not complain.
II the citizens of Astoria make this cam
palgn a purely business proposition, we
shall have honest business men as city
legislators, and officials who will not only
uphold the rights of every taxpayer but
who will rigldly guard the public pun Sc
and see to 1t that whatever public meas
ures are passed shall be clean and open
to investigation The blare Of trumpets
and effervescent froth Of ward heelers
will avail shady and disreputable candi-
lates but little during the present cam
)aign. 1t is plain business fight, and |
me that calls for neither passion nor |
prejudice. II there ever was time in |
Astoria's history when business men
bould take off their coats and work foi
he election OF honest men, 1t is now.
t will be their voice that will settle
he matter, and It will be their interests
hat will be affected.

that the number Of bacteria was great

TREES RAISE WATER.
How tho Big Oaks Help to Solve tho
Motive Power Problem.

HOW inc ttiE OAhh ftcip TO NOtsc tho
Motive Power Problem.
An additional reason why America
should preserve her trees, says the Bos-
ton Globe, is being contributed by tho
scientists, who anticipate that in the
not far distant future the great motive
power of civilization will be water, as
related to gravitation and electricity.
Trees are the great water-liftcrs.
The wise men tell us that an oak tree
of average size, with 100000 leaves,
lifts from the earth into the air about
1913 tons OF water during the Ave
months IL displays its foliage.
Prem the leaves the water Is evapor-
nted and formed into clouds, which, de-
posting their weight of moisture, ulti-
mately supply tine Niagara capable of
supplying large part OF the motive
power of the country.
Trees are specially designed to facil-
itate evaporation through the moisture
spread over their myriad leaves. The
new prospects as 20 coming motive
power offer very potent reason why
they should be preserved and culti-
waited.
Spare the trees. The destruction of
our remaining forest areas would be n
step toward economic suicide.

Now invention OF Naval Constructor Dashicii.
In that connection, he designedn great
many of the mechanical devices which
facilitate the operations at that estab-
lishment, and is well known as the in
ventor of a mechanism for four-inch
guns, now in use on all the war ves-
sells
His last invention, say the experts,
marks distinct advance in the devel-
opment of the interrupted screw prin-
ciple. In large guns hitherto the
brecch-bloclx plug, which must be fas-
tened in before the gun can be dis
charged, has had three distinct right
angle movements. which of course take
time. In the new Dashiell mechanism
there are but two motions required.
The technical description may be brief
ly given as follows:
The breech block is rotated by q
worm gear of peculiar construction,
one gear being helical slot In one Of
the blanks of the plug, the other being
the broad toe Of the operating lever.
When unlocked the plug ia supported
on carrier and is so shaped rs To
swing out of and away from the breech
without being withdrawn axially. The
extractor is lever having curved back

surface denoted a much better general
condition. The nntidote was continued
for another day and he made prompt
recovery without even suppuration at

Dear Sir: Kindly insert the following
In your valuable paper.
In the proceedings of the county court
| notice that the court instructed the SUI
pervisor to erect a gate OH the bridge
across the Necannicum at Seaside known
as Grimes bridge, for the reason, ITO
prevent stock from crossing"
Now, Mr. Editor, this is too absurd. |
have lived two years on the eastern ap-
proach of said bridge and l have never
seen stock of any kind crossing said
bridge. Why not fence in the whole coun-
ty and be done with it. l think it is an
imposition on the people and should never
have been allowed by the county court.
Yours Truly,

his endeavors to procure the construction
of the Astoria and Columbia River Rail-

out compensation, or hope of compen-
satlon.

whilst he was chairman of the r. r.

ing to procure from the committee a
contract for the construction of the rail-
road. This is the nigger in the woodpile
that the balance of the committee tried
so hard to find. The letter is in the well

ECONOMY IN FUEL.

The Eureka Fuel Econonizer Is a SCI
entifcai preparation which augmentS the
intensity of coal and wood heat in the
proportion of 80 per cent.
II the direction printed on each pack
age is carefully observed, tine Eureka
Coal Economizer win give to any crdina-
ry or middling coal the same value as
THAT of superior quality.
The Eureka Fuel Econonizer prevents
the shoots, the cinders and the formation
of smoke, which may spoil, in an apart
ment, 50 many valuable articles, such
ais curtains. paintings, etc.
The Eureka burns any kind OF gas
which might destroy the breathable air; ;
apartments and factories in which 1t is
used are consequently more healthy and
comfortable. In less than five minutes,
one can obtain a very brisk fire which
will last thirty hours without being sttrr-
ed up and without any addition of fresh
coal. Hence an economy OF coal, work
and money.
The Eureka Bcononnizer produces a heat
more soft and more concentrated; when
a normal heat is wanted, the ventilation
must be parity stopped and. again, an
economy in fuel is to be relied upon.
