An Eldora preacher, the other day,
delivered the following beautiful
funeral sermon: "Here is a word to
you all. Post mortem praises and
love are in the air. People kiss the
dead but never stop to kiss the living;
they hover over the casket in hysteri-
cal sobs, but fail to throw their arms
around the loved ones who are fight
ing the stern battle of life. A word
of cheer to the struggling soul in life
is worth all the roses in cLristendom
piled high on the casket covers. The
dead cannot smell the flowers but the
living can. Scatter them broadcast
In their pathway, therefore, pluck
out the thorn before it is too late. -

Adyices received from Washington
convey the information that the people
Of the sound are making an effort to
have the treasury department trans
fer the tug Patrol from Astoria to Port
Townsend. Ever since the lighthouse
department selected Astoria as the base
of its northwestern operations the
sound people have been religiousiy
knocking away. but their efforts have
proved futile Astoria was chosen as
the station for the vessels because of
its central locality and the department
has never had any reason for experi-
encing a change OF sentiment with ref
erencs to the matter The Patrol, II is
believed. could not be transferred to
the sound. she was built under an APP
preparation made specially for tug for
the Columbia river and will doubtless

SAY THAT THEY LOSE TIME
i,ongshoremen's Union Notifies
Sanborn Company and En-
gineer Department That
Pay Must Increase.

The union longshoremen who are en-
ployed in the work OF coaling the par
dredge Chinook are not satisfied with
the treatment which they have been
receiving. and yesterday notified
George w. Sanborn & Co. and the en-
xineering Office at Fort Stevens that
they would hereafter decline to work
unless their demands were complied
with Two members of the union called
Yesterday at the Office of The Astorian
and stated their grievances.
In brief, the men want pay for all
of the time they put in after leaving
the city for the lower harbor. and VIII
not hereafter work unless the company
which furnishes coal to the Chinook
submits to the demand. II appears the
men receive pay only for the time tney
are actually engaged at work. no al
lowance being made for the time con-
snmed in the trip to and from the
vassel with this they are dissatisfied,
and after a conference yesterday nou-
fed the employers of their determina-
ton.
.rva hal;eve we should receive pay
for all the time we put in. whether we
work all of that time or not" said the
man Yesterday. "rhe launch which
takes us down from the city often Is
delayed for a few hours In starting
and frequently there is even longer de-
Law in getting away from the vessel.
Now. we lose considerable time IN TINS
manner, and besides are compelled 70
remain out in the wet. We believe our
time should commence when we start
from the city and that we should be
paid for our time until we are returned
to the city, excepting, of course, the
meal hour.
"Today we filed notice on tne san
born company and the engineer de-
partment that we would hereafter re-
fuse to work unless we were paid for
our fun time, and we intend to do as
we say. Whether or not our demand
viii be agreed to can not say. Tne
union has fled the notice and will sup
port us in our position"
The Sanborn company holds the
present contract for furnishing coal 20
