The result OF this prophecy will no

HOME INDUSTRIES.

There Is growing sentiment in As
toria and clatsop county to patroniz
home industries and home institutions
This sentiment has been stimulated b.
the press of the city, whose supper
comes from home merchants and ar
interested In keeping the trade am
money at home. BY patronlzing hom'
merchants means those that are ac'
tually engaged in business here ant
are not branch or in any way con-
nected with any Portland or San Fran
cisco house, There is no difference In
batronizing Portland or San Fran
cisco merchants than In patrOni7ine
their branch stores in Astoria. All
the money, over and above the legiti'
mate expenses, is sent to the home
house.
Among the institutions in Astoria
that are not home merchants. but be-
long TO San Francisco, is the Great
Eastern Tea Company. This COM
pany is owned In San Francisco. It's
manager lives there. All the money
spent at its store is sent to the home
office and Astoria does not receive any
benefit form the concern, II seldom
contributes to any local entertainments
Fourth OF July celebrations. regat-
tas or any enterprise for the benefit
OF building up the city or encouraging
manufacturers-beca the clerks
have no authority to contribute and
the manager lives in San Francisco.
They simply take trade away from the
home merchants, who live here. pay
taxes, contribute 10 all entertainments
and celebrations.
Another thing, their prices are as
high as the home stores, They have
a sale every other day Of some kind
as a bait TO catch suckers, but there
is no reduction in the prices. There
is not an article OF goods sold by the
Great Eastern Tea Company that can
not be purchased at Ross, Higgins
Foard & Stokes, The Astoria Grocery,
A. V. Allen. as cheap, and you get
fresher goods, because they do more
business in one day than this timer
ant company does in a month and
their stock is turned over oftener.
II Astoria is to grow and its re-
sources developed. and new people
brought in to cultivate our lands, II
must be done by giving the support of
the people to strictly home concerns
If an itinerant coffee and spice outfit
will not contribute to entertainments,
or regattas, the people
should not patgonize them. There
should be a community Of interests
actuate everyone interested in Asto-
ria, and no one should receive dol
lars worth Of patronage who is not
willing to assist in building up the
city, and the Great Eastern Tea Com
pany has seldom contributed one cent
to any enterprise in which Astoria is
and never will. They are
simply here to make what money they
can and take 1t to San Francisco. They
are not an Astoria concern, but simply
a branch house, and no branch house
is worthy of the patronage Of the peo>
pie. Patronize your home merchants
and they will patronize you, and tha
money will be kept at home. The
money that is sent out Of Astoria for
goods than can be purchased at home
and of home merchants, is so much
money taken out Of the circulating
Of the county.

The Miracle That Nature Performs

The Miracle That Nature Performs
When sunburn Occurs.
There are certain arctic animals,
dark coated In the short summer, that
In winter turn pure white, thus match
ing the snow covered landscape and
escaping notice and harm.
This change Of color, this protection,
effected no one knows how, is wonder
full as wonderful as miracle, and
yet kindred change Of color, kin.
dred protection, happens among man
kind every summer, and nobody ever
notices It,
When the pale city people 60 out in
the summer sun at the seashore or the
mountains the light attacks them
fercely, first reddening their skin.
then swelling, blistering and scorching
it. II they kept in the sun enough,
and II no miracle occurred, the light
would kill them finally, burning of
the skin first and afterward attacking
the raw flesh.
But q miracle does occur. The skin
changes from pale color to tan and
on this tan the sun has no effect The
sun may beat on tan colored skin for
days and weeks, but such skin Nemains
always sound, upholstered, whole.
Thus nature works miracle. The
white skin is suffering, and nature,
aware, somehow, that tan skin Is
sun proof, changes to tan the white.
How does she do this? Where did she
learn that it was wise to do this? No
one knows. Only the fact Of the
miracle remains.
To prove this miracle-to prove that
It is not the hardening Of the skin,
but the change in its color which pro-
tects it from sunburn-is an easy mat
ter.
Let pale person, unused to the sun,
stain one side of his face yellow, and,
leaving the other side untouched, so
out in the bright summer sun for
couple of hours. The one side of his
face is no tougher, no more hardened
than the other, yet the unstained side
will be inflamed, blistered, while the
tan colored one will be quite cool and
unhurt.
Sunburn is miracle, protection
to mankind as inexplicable and as
wonderful as the miracle Of the arctic
animals change in the winter from
dark coats to snow white ones.-New

Mrs. Wittenmyer brought forward the

that are rarely read, and still more
rarely needed. The trouble with all
scientists Is that they grow too scien-

plain advice and simple directions. An
exhaustive treatise on the forestry OF
the western slope is neither of use or
interest to him. The geology of the
underlying strata of his farm doesn't
interest him as g. single successful ex-

spring calves. And yet tons upon tons
