THE ASTORIA 1904 DIRECTORY.

The interests of the Astorian Publishing Com
pany in the directory business have been transfer
red to the R. L. Polk Company. While it is true
that the local company was first to commence work
on directory this year, it is also true that the r.
Il. Polk Company has no superior in the business
in which it is engaged all over the United States,
and that it is better equipped by reason of long
experience to accomplish perfect results than any
local concern could be-
While it would have been matter of pride to
have published creditable directory, yet we are
assured that the work now being compiled by the
R. L. Polk Company will be volume Of which its
patrons and the city may well be proud
The Astorian Publishing Company is grateful
for the liberal patronage offered, and for the many
expressions of loyalty to the home institution which
have been made, and, while making retiring bow,
begs to recommend the directory company to the
good graees Of the public.
The compiling editing printing and binding Of
a work of this nature is an undertaking Of much
greater magnitude than most people imagine, and
as all the work is being done and will be done in
this city, it will be in reality an Astoria directory
Meanwhile The Astorian will continue to be the
newsiest newspaper outside of Portland published
in the state, and its production demands all the
energies of its force.

UNIFORM WATER LAWS.

An interesting instance of the way in which the
operations Of the reclamation service may assist in
securing uniform state laws is contained in the fact
that Governor Chamberlain has recently appointed
commission to draft bill which will modify the
existing water laws of this state in such way as
to make them harmonic with the provisions of the
reclamation act.
Need for similar revision Of water laws is felt in
other states, and it is hoped that 0regons example
will be followed in all the states affected by the 10
reclamation act That such revision would simplify
the problems of the reclamation service is fact
accentuated by an opinion recently delivered by
Mr. Fred Campbell assistant attorney general, con-

Perhaps it was to be expected that the French
cabinent would be astonlshed even pained over the
great lack Of politeness on the part of Japan in
striking deadly blow without first giving notice of
her intention. But apart from France the opinion
of the world is with Japan in carrying on war ac-
cording to the rules of war; and not according to the
latest rules on etiquette Japan saw her opportunity
and empraced it. She caught Admiral Alexieff
mapping, and if his rousing from sumbers was pain
fully strenuous, the fault is was his own 1t
was his business to know that war is just what Gen
eral Sherman described it to be in only three terse
words, but expressive Of the whole subject.

Republicans and Demo-
Gratis Are Lining Up.
Details Of Plan Of Campaiqu
Being Carefully Prepared.
Senator Scott of West Virginia Will
Assign Republican Speakers and
Congressional Committeeman Will
Handle Their Own States.

New York, Aug. 9.-The Rennb,ic,,
executive committee met. TODAY aud
devoted most of it's time to details re-
Eating to the headquarters, such as the
division of duties among different MEM
bers and authorizing employees to take
charge of work of various kinds which
will put the machinery in motion.
The general situation was discussed
by the members of the committee and
while tentative arrangements were
made for the division of campaign work
among different members of the com
mittee, nothing definite was done and
will not be announced until Mr. Booker
is present.
1t is understood that Senator Scott
of West Virginia, who for two cam
paigns has had charge of the speakers
will have the same assignment this
year.
1t is probable also that each member
of the executive committee will have
direction of the campaign in mis- state
and adjacent districts where the ma
tional committee will do it's most ef-
fective work.
The executive committee will meet
lile lIiclIlDGlS VI the CtltSTcSSlOItdI Ctt1n-
paign, tomorrow, for the purpose of
during the campaign.
The first annual meeting of the COM
mittee developed the fact that prelim-
mary arrangements were far enough
advanced 50 that the real campaign
work could be proceeded with and the
conditions in various parts of the Coun-
try were discussed ut some length.
Soon after the meeting adjourned, to-
day, Chairman Cortelyou saw Gov.
John f. Hill of Maine, and F. M. Simp-
son, chairman of the Republican COM
mittee of that State. Maine will hold
an election of State officers and con-
gressmen, Sept. II, and while there is
no doubt about the success of the Re-
publicans they desire to make the ma
jorities as large as possible for the ma
terial benefit it will have on other
states. The campaign in that State has
already begun with local speakers, but
the national committee will take part
in the campaign beginning Aug. 20,
when national speakers will be sent to
Maine.
The joint meeting of the national and
congressional committees, tomorrow.
proba bly, will take up the subject of
speakers both for Maine and Vermont,
where early elections will be held.
