thought that an entire block was Oh

the families was DESTROYED and is a to-
tai loss, as there was no insurance, The
houses, although destroyed. werescoy-
cred by an insurance of $4,000 with

sum- it Is believed, would meet any
emergency that might arise under amy
financial contingency, Bank availtng
themselves of this additional eircula-
ton would not be required 70 put up
any additional security for the same.
The security for these notes. which Is
considerd ample. would be, first. the
bank itself; second, the fund created
In the treasury OF the United States
by the accumulation of the 5 per cent
tax, Experts say this in itself would
be more than ample as an insurance
against the failure of any national bank
having this additional currency in cir
culation, The fact that this measure
was prepared by senators who are re-
garded as being in perfect accord with
the administration and who are the
recognized leaders of republican senti-
ment in congress is sufficient assurance
that the proposed currency legislation
will be accepted as party measure. -

sleep: Six hours for a man. seven for
woman and eight for fool There
is about this all the aspect of acumen.
Nevertheless six hours is too short a
period Of sleep for any man who tolls.
1t does not give TO body or mind the
chance to recuperate. Sleep is the only
opportunity for complete rest. If a
man can sleep, he has fair chance
to carry on his part Of the battle. and
if he can extend the hours of sleep from
the absurd and inadequate period
mentioned by Franklin to a sane and
sufficient period, his chances of accom-
plishing his allotted work will be aug
mented. The trouble with the Ameri-
can people is that they do not take rest
enough. and there is no other form of
rest so nearly perfect as that afforded
by Sleep
The Ledger seemingly overlooks the
great fact that dyspepsia is respons-
ible for much Of our nervousness and
that our woes are largely due to our
disordered stomachs. Primarily our
fault rests with our irregular eating
habits. though it is quite clear that loss
of sleep operates to our national disad-
vantage.

CURRENCY LEGISLATION

Frequent reports come which tend t.
indicate an early clash between the
great railroad interests of the country
The Gould system has now in con-
temptation two new moves, one involv-
ing the construction of line with an
outlet at Coos bay and the other ter
minating at San Francisco. The Coos
bay project Is calculated to wrest ori-
entail traffic from Portland and Seattle
Where there is so much smoke there
must also be some fire, and it is evident
that the competing interests will soon
clash. The fight can come none too
soon to suit Astoria. Only an open
rupture will relieve the local situation,
for, 50 long as the railroads act harmo-
niously, just so long win the very
cheapest port on the Pacific coast re-
main bottled up. Utilization of Astoria
harbor would give the line terminating
here so great an advantage over its
competitors that they would be practic-
ally shut out of that great oriental
traffic for which untold millions are
contending. Only a struggle will force
use of Astoria harbor, and it can come
none too quickly for the interests of
this section.

The Tacoma Ledger takes issue with
those who assert that dyspepsia is the
national disease. 1t comedies with the
view that nervousness is the great ma
tional ailn1ent, and suggests that we
Americans should spend more of our
time in bed. Says the Ledger:
Often the assertion is made that
dyspepsia is the national disease This
has the distinction not to be true. Dys-
pepsia is so far from being the national
disease. that the average American will
eat what is set before him at any time
Of day or night, and suffer no particular
inconvenience from it. At least, If he
does suffer, ne has troubles so much
greater that he does not complain about
indigestion. The suggestion is made in
a medical magazine that nervous pros
tratiou is the national disease of
America, and really there does seem to
be some sense to this. Added to this
suggestion is one that the tired man
take plenty of sleep. from ten to twelve
hours being mentioned as the proper
amount. Benjamin Franklin, a wise
person, who wrote much and practiced
a few of his own precepts, said of

THE SOUND OF ROLLING WAVES

Nothing inspires us so much with
awe and reverence, as nature Undecided
by the hands of man, Whether we
stand in a forest primeval" surrounded
by hoary giants and the universal
quietude: or whether we pass through
the vast, bleak desert We are conscious
of the grandeur of Gods handiwork.
Perhaps the moaning sound of the
waves rolling on the shore, touches
our innermost feelings more than any
Of the other great voices of nature. In
whatever mood we find ourselves, we
may recognize sympathetic chord in
the music Of the waves. Are we des-
pondent, we hear a low, sad undertone
calling from the deep producing upon
US peculiar quiet rest Are we Joyful
and happy, and filled with bright fore
bodings of the future. we are aroused
TO action by the vigorous roaring OF the
toiling, never resting waves. There is
a mutual reflection Of sympathy be-
tween the feelings of the human heart
and the sounds Of the rolling waves.
BY living in close communion with
nature in all her phases, we. ourselves,
shall gradually partake of more and
more of her greatness and grandeur -

EXTENDED FISHING SEASON

The proposal for extension of the
salmon fishing season Is one that win
require serious thought. Certain it is
that the fun benefits of artificial prop
agation are not now being realized. for
the reason that the fishing season clos
es just at that time when fish are
most plentiful. 1t is lamentable that
the run OF hatchery salmon does not
materialize until near the seasons end.
but the condition exists and must be
contended with.
Extension of the season for two weeks
would add greatly to the output of
salmon. and operate to the benefit of
Gamers and fishermen alike: but 1t is
not clear that the market would not
suffer to corresponding extent. At
the end Of the season closing August
Is Of the present year the fish were
of excellent quality. and an additional
100000 cases might have been packed
without hurting the high standing of
the spring product of the Columbia
river, But. were 1t to become generally
known that late fish were being packed,
the price Of the canned article might
be seriously affected. that Of the early
months as well as that of the late
months.
The present high standing of Co
lumbia river chinook salmon is due to
the excellence. of the article canned,
and any plan calculated in any way
to affect the reputation of Astoria's s
principal product ought TO be frowned
down Brokers and consumers would
jump at an opportunity to beat down
the price of chinook salmon. which
even no must, in measure, come in
competition with the cheaper grades OF
fish packed on Puget sound and in
Alaska.
Perhaps there is some merit in the
Plan for extension of the season, but
it is a proposal that must be handled
with great care. Meantime the fisher
les department of Oregon should use
every effort to restore the early runs,
that it may not be necessary to ex-
tend the season beyond the present
limit.

According to the New York Financial
Age the new financial measure which
it is stated was agreed on at a recent
conference Of republican senators ap-
pears to be simple one, which, never
theless, it is believed win remedy the
faults of the present system. 1t is
proposed to authorize the issuance of
additional currency by national banks,
up to 25 per cent. of the amount of
their capital. On this the government
would place tax of, say per cent
per annum. Because Of this tax,
banks would only call for the additional
currency in times of greatest stringency
That is, interest on loans would have
to be higher than 5 per cent to induce
a bank to go to the expense of issu-
ing additional currency. The instant
interest rates dropped below per cent
this currency would retire automatic
ally. The maximum amount of addit-
ional currency that would be made

A strange story is reported from Oac-
oma, S. D., by the correspondent for
the Chicago Tribune. This correspond
ent says that immediatly preceding a
heavy shower, nearly every kitten l2ss
than six months old in the vicinity died
apparently from the effects of some
gaseous matter in the air. A bunch of
is cattle was seen coming from the
flats when eight of them fell TO the
ground. A farmer living near by ran
out to them and found six of the eight
alread dead. John Morris, a stockman
living on White river, reports the loss
Of six head in the same way. 1t is
generally believed that the copious
rains which have fallen since have
neutralized whatever poison to animal
life may have been in the air. 1t was
a phenomenon heretofore unknown
there.
