Senator Kuykendall has Introduced a
bill at Salem to abolish the offices of
health officer and boatnan at Astoria.
This is In accordance with a recon-
mendation contained In the inaugural
message Of Governor Chamberlain, al
though the author of the bill Is a re-
publican. Senator Kuykendall says he
believes the offices are superflous, es-
peclally in view OF the fact that there
is n government quarantine station at
Astoria. The bill has gone to a COM
mittoe for report, 1t is expected
that the democrats will vote solidly
against IT, as the city council of AS
toria recently passed resolution fav-
oring the maintenance of the two Off

The impression generally prevails
among packers and fishermen that me
supply OF salmon during the coming
season will be greater than for several
years past, Last years run indicated
that the hatcheries were doing credit
able work, and there In every reason to
believe that this years supply will be
even greater, The outlook is much
more favorable than II was last year,
as all the packers will have Increased
facilities for handling salmon. There
viii be one new cannery--the Tallant-
Grant concern--and additions have
been been made during the winter to
nearly all the other plants, The indl-
cations are that the fishermen will find
ready markets for all the fish caught,
and that there will be no limits placed
on the supply this year.

Contracts for building brick and

be let out to the lowest bidder,
the work to be done under the
supervision of the town authori-
ties and the cost to be paid as
follows: one-third by the town

careful deliberation and investi-

this plan is the one which has
given the best satisfaction in

Working the Negroes.

AS anticipated, the Hanna bill
to pension former slaves has given
fresh excuse to d crowd of sharp
ers who preyed upon the unwary
several years ago, and the "EX-
Slave Mutual Relief, Bounty and
Pension Association has issued
circular encouraging the negroes
to believe that "victory is perched
upon our banner, and that a con-
tribution of 81 head for ex-
penses in furthering the cause of
Justice" will insure speedy sue
cess.
This is the only result that any
sane man would have expected.
Senator Hanna may consider it Il
great joke to thus deludc million
or so unthinking darkies who had
scarcely recovered from the eX-
pectation Of forty acres and Il
mule" or he may think it smart
politics to thus head off President
Roosevelt in the esteem of the
dusky voters, but the postofice
officials who are constantly at war
with fraud concerns know they
must be alert to prevent whole
sale robbery, and other people
who understand the utter impos-
sibility of the slave pension va
gary must feel contempt for the
man in high station who would
lend himself to the cruel farce.
They are the best friends of the
negro who will candidIy tell him
to refuse to contribute to the
campaign funds of any organiza-
ton processing to promote the
pension chimera. II is all de-
luton and will profit nobody but
the collectors and custodians of
the "expense money. Houston

tee, however, got onto his little

which caused him to hunt his

it remorse or merely disappoint-
ment in not succeeding in correI-
ing the public square and all the
people in town TO do his bidding
that caused him to. remain in
