Happenings Among the People In This
Prosperous Township.

To Our Boys: The difference be-
tween successful and an unsuccessful
farmer is generally the same as that,
between successful and unsuccessful
men in other lines of human efforts.
The man who conducts his affairs in q
methodical and business like way, and
looks closely after the expenses and
income is very apt to be successful III
his business no matter what line it Is
In. The business man who conducts
his business in haphazard way, pay
ing no attention to his account books
and never KNOWN. exactly where he
stands, is very apt to fail Of success.
And get there are those who seem to
imagine that the business Of farming
does not need such exact methods,
other lines of business may need we'll
digested plans but they seem to think
that the rule of thumb and muscle is
all that is needed on the farm.
The business man who is ever chang
ing his plans, dealing in one line to.
day and another tomorrow, will sell
dom make success of any line, and
the same is true of the farmer who is
ever ready to rush into the cultivation
of any crop that for the time being
promises profit, but with which he
may be entirely unfamiliar.
He will usually be left by men who
stick to the crops they are familiar
with aud study their improvement
and improved and moro economical
ways Of growing them. For these
men grow more expert in their work,
while the shifter from one crop to
another is perpetually gaining moth
ing but new experience and paying
well for it.
Business methods and good book,
keeping are as essential on the farm
as in the store. All of this means that
the farmer should be educated for his
profession as men in every other pro-
fession are. 1t means more than the
mere keeping OF farm accounts cor
rectly, but the acquisition OF the "know

show to keep the boys on the farm?''
is hardly worth discussing, for there
are great many boys raised on farms
that should not be kept there, since
they can be more successful in other
lines of work; and if they are educa-
ted for useful lines, the farm is not
the loser for the leaders in every line
of human activity must largely come
from the farm, where ths sturdiest
manhood grows. And the men when
they have attained success elsewhere
are very apt later in life to invest in
the land because of their old love for
the farm. Keep the boys on the farm
who want to be farmers and who love
the farm, and give them the best pos
sible training for success on the farm,
but do not let it worry you that some
of your boys are better fitted for some
other life. The young mans success
should be the main object, and not
the making of a farmer of him simply
because you are a farmer. Farmers
are to an extent like poets born, not
made. I have said enough for this
time on the subject of educating the
boys for the farm, and success in busi-
ness life. Success to tile many readers
and the Democrat.

The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1904-12-16
A COINCIDENCE.

There seems to be a striking simi-
larity between the opinions Of the Ore
gonian and the press of Astoria rela-
tive to the necessity of a number OF
first-class funerals Of persons whose
health and happiness would be better
subserved in the next world than this.
The following editorial in yesterdays
lOregonian will read like a chapter from
the history of Astoria in years gone by.
but the exigencies that existed in AS
toria, like Portland, do not seem to
exist at the present time The Ore
gonian says:
1t looks as if the time has passed
when the most obvious need Of Port
land appeared to be a number of first
class funerals This was merely a DO
lite euphemism for the desire, once al
most universal that a few gentlemen
who rejoiced is chronic condition of
mossbackism might withdraw from the
affairs of this world and go to heaven,
where they could rest for all eternity;
for there progress is unknown and un-
desired, and the existing order suits
everybody. Truth is that some of our
pioneers have been our most enterpris-
ing citizens, and others have not been
enterprising; but 1t is a significant fact
that In great part the leadership in
commercial, industrial and financial
circles In this city has long remained
in practically the same hands-a re-
markable advertisement Of the solv-
ency and sanity Of our business meth
DDS and standing tribute to the in
telligence and breadth of our local
captains Of industry. We can perhaps
find no real fault with the ways of the
people who are here, and what they
have done. The only trouble has been
that there have not been more of them, |
because there are opportunities wait
ing for new blood, new enterprise, new
wealth, in Portland and throughout the
northwest. We might have done more
to invite and attract men of push and
resource from elsewhere; but they are
the spirit Of making a long pull, a
strong pull and pull altogether per-
vades all Portland as it never did be-
fore. Everybody, the old-timer and the
newcomer, has a move on.

NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS.

There seems TO be a diversity OF
sentiment between the report submit
ted to the war department by Major
Langfelt. and the opinions Of promi-
nent men, identified with the CONNER
cial interests Of Astoria. relative to the
expense attending Improvements bn
the bar. The Astorian published a
synopsis Of Major Langfelt's report
submitted to meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce, with the exception that
the difference between the cost Of
dredging on the river by the Iadd and
that done on the bar by the Chinook
was stated. not with the view of dis
creditirg the work done by the Chi
nook. but to show the necessity of the
construction of a new dredge adapted
to dredging in front of the city and on
the bar as well. There is no one in
Astoria, but wants TO see the Chinook
continue its operation on the bar. be-
cause, in the opinion of men in a po-
sition to know. this is the only feasible
plan of deepening the channel But at
the same time there is strong effort
being made to secure the construction
Of dredger to take the place of the
Chinook. as soon as ii can be con-
structed. Through the efforts of the
Astorian and a number Of prominent
citizens. bill has been introduced in
congress by Representative Hermann
for the building OF a dredger adapted
TO the Improvement Of the river and
bar as herein indicated.
When the Astorian discusses these
questions, it is with the view Of pro-
viding the best devices for accomplish !
ing the results necessary to secure |
deeper water on the bar, and not to |
dispense with the Chinook until such
time as a new dredger can be pro-
vided. There is no politics in the con-
troversy. as a few disgruntled demo-
Gratis allege. While the Astorian is
republican in politics and in thorough
accord with the present national ad-
ministration, and its opinions have I
weight with the departments at Wash
ington, the republican party of Clatsop
county nor the state Of Oregon are
not responsible for the editorial opin-
ions expressed. This is not intended L
as a salve for the wounded feelings 6
Of one or two persons too ignorant to
understand the position of the Asto-
ian. and who persist in charging the
editorial opinions of the paper to the $
republican party.
Everyone in Astoria, irrespective of =
POLITICAL affiliations are interested in u
he improvement of the Columbia river
nd bar, but there may be difference Z
f opinion as to the best means of ac- e
omplishing the necessary results. The 9
pinions of the Astorian are based, as
rule, on the reports Of the officials "

THnrGHTS oF WAR.

Cruel war and the killing of thou
sands of men has been a theme for
discussion by men of humane instincts,
who deplore the terrible slaughter OF
Russians and Japs in efforts to main
tain supremacy over disputed terri
tory. While it is true that both Rus
slams and Japs have their loved ones
at home who mourn their loss; that
many a fireside is made desolate by
the loss Of father and brother, widows
and orphaned children are thrown on
the cold charities of the world. yet the
race that is being exterminated do not
appeal strongly to the sympathies OF
the more enlightened countries, as
though they were civilized nation OF
high intellectual attainments; whose
empires are based upon efforts to bet
ter the conditions of society. The SOL
diers of Russia are laying down their
lives for a Goldfish aristocracy that
place no value upon mans life. They

1t is not so much the horrors of war
that shock the sensibilities of the civ

and cause that lead up to the war. Not
that the soldiers will ever be benefited
