The new creamery IS almost completed
and by Saturday the machinery Will be
fully installed. Steam will be gotten up
Monday to test all the apparatus, and
On Tuesday regular operations will be-
gin, and those who are to deliver milk
win be expected to commence with that
day. Superintendent skyles, who has
mad long experience In creamery work,
feels confident that he can turn out but
ter equal to the best made on the coast.
The milk Of this section Is very rich in
butter fat, and having the latest i'm.
proved machinery and methods. the sue
cess Of hthe Astoria creamery Is an as
sured fatt and soon Astoria will be ex-
porting instead Of importing. When Az
toria reyerses the moss grown, mossback
rule under which she has been struggling
for 10 these many years, IN fruitless
effort to build up while importing more
than she exports, and keeps the money
that Is needlessly sent away for COM
moditie at home, will a solid, healthy
growth come to the town. The SUCCESS
Of the creamery project Is but one Of
the factors in the great Industrial and
revival that Is to come TO
Astoria.

brought from Portland for the stables in
this city. When It Is known that Will
lamette valley hay lands barely pro-
duce two tons Of hay per acre, while
the hay lands OF Clatsop county average
four tons to the acre, does the problem
as 70 why Astoria should import hay
from abroad become an enigma that
stranger cannot solve. The why that
this should be so is respectfully referred
to the farmers Of Clatsop county. Why
Astoria Is compelled 10 import hay, po-
tatoes, -four. feed, vegetables, meat, eggs,
chickens, butter. honey and ever 80 many
other farm products from the Willamette
valley and California, would make a fine
question for discussion for the Clatsop

The soldier boys at Fort Stevens have
organized a minstrel troupe tina: with its
first public appearance has met with
great success. Last week the troupe
gave a concert in Bartlsy's hall In New
Astoria that was pronounced up to the
regular mark Of the travelling troups.
ore Of the members OF this troup held
a leading part for several years In the
great Primrose q Vests Ministries. Sew
eral Of the other members were former
ly connected with some OF the most fa-
nous minstrel shows on the road and
those no, having a previous professional
training understand music and have
voices Of fine quality. 1t is possible that
the soldier boys may give a concert in
Astoria at some future date. Those who
have heard the boys sing say that the
troup can equal any OF the burnt cork
artists that have ever visited this town,
and predict an evenings pleasure Of a
high order.

that taking into consideration our mod

phones, swift vessels etc., that the Phil
ippines are nearer to us to-day than the
territories previously annexed were

that the fall of Rome was due to the
corruption of its own people. He
thought the Philippines should be an

ization of the natives commenced.
A. V. Haigh utilized the ten minutes
allowed him to close for the affirma-
tive in general review of the discuss
sion. He stated that his opponents had
dwelt chiefley on ancient history and
occurrences of the past but carefully
avoid the question in argument. He
said that the late war was begun by the
United States in the interests of hui
mainly. He said that the fall of the
Roman.emplre was due to its expan-
sion policy. The only argument he
could see that was offered by his oppo-
nents in favor of annexing the Phillip.
ines was the facilities for the production
of tropical fruits. The Judges were F.
