The seeming earnestness Of Oregon s
delegation in congress in the support
Of the Nicaragua canal bill is not only
in line with the request of their constit-
aents but is a simple duty which each
Pacific coast member Of congress owes
to himself and the country he repere-
sents. The Pacific Coast states today
have less than two millions Of people,
but are capable OF supporting thirty
millions. High rates Of freight and
passenger fares operate against the
rapid settlement of the coast states
from the East, and the process of de-
cheaper means of communication are
furnished between the two coasts and
Europe, and unless a way can be pro-
vided for a quicker passage than
around Cape Horn. Every intelligent
man knows that the Nicaragua canal
route when opened means tremendous
advantages in every department Of bus
mess on the Pacific coast. Many Of
the hecessltles OF lie are today shipped
across the continent at high rates Of
freight, and immigration is stopped be
cause would-be settlers cannot afford
the taxes imposed on their passage
with their goods from the East to the
West. Above and beyond all this is
the great shipping interests Of the Pa
eifIc coast, with Europe, Africa, and
Atlantic seaboard points, which is now
conducted by the slow, dangerous and
expensive route around Cape Horn. Let
the Nicaragua canal once be opened
and New York brought within thirty
days Of Astoria by sea, for a low
class OF freights, and the business o
this coast will be revoluionized. Oul

HAUNTED!

The human tenement is often haunt
ed-to the grievous discomfort OF its
possessor-by those malignant spirits,
constipation and biliousness. But the
abominable pair may be peedily driven
out with the potent help Of Hostetter's
Stomach Bltters. This genial altera-
tive, while 1t relieves the bowels and
regulates the liver, never, as a drastic
purgative does, produces violent effects
and weakens the intestines. On the
contrary, the action Of the Bitters Is
precisely analogous to an effort Of na-
ture seeking to resume her proper func-
tons. This furnishes pretty conclusive
evidence that it is better to use persua-
sive means, 50 to speak. than to en-
deavor TO coerce nature TO a return
to duty. Violent remedies produce only
temporary effect, followed by a hurt
full reaction. For indigestion, malariaI
and kidney complains. rheumatism and
nervousness. the Bitters takes highest
rank among remedies Of the philosophic
school.

The communication published in to-

and do nothing more within the next
decade towards the improvement and

notwithstanding the fun that is being
poked at Astoria and its proposed sea-
wall, every live business man and
sooner or later Astoria must have a
practical shipping merchant knows that
seawall. All that the most ardent
friends Of the enterprise hope to accom-
plish now Is TO secure the passage OF
a bill at the present legislature on
such broad lines that at any time with
in the next two years, when conditions
are ripe, they can. without delay, COM
mence the construction of permanent
seawall which will make Of this port
the leading commercial center Of the
Northern Pacific coast. II behOoves
every patriotic citizen to lend his
brains and energy to the passage OF
such a bill. The securing Of the bill
in itself does not mean that the bill
must be constructed within the next
five minutes. but that the people are
simply preparing themselves to take
advantage OF every possible contingen-
cy to press forward their city TO the
prominence and paramount position it
is destined 10 take in the not distant
future
