FAITH, OR TREASON.

The Republicans of Clatsop county
have everything in their own hands il
they will keep faith. State and county
must respond unequiyocally to their
united efforts at the polls and put the
dominant party in place and power
throughout the commonwealth.
Swapping, trading. combining, and all
manner of personal deals are in excep-
tionally bad odor this year, and the man
who cannot win on his merits had better
face defeat than sell his party and its
prestige for "a mess of pottage." This
is the feeling all over the State. and
Clatsop county reflects the popular wish'
and it is hoped no man within her bor-
ders will tmnsgress the edict.
The Morning Astorian makes the
plain and partisan declaration, here and
now, that it will blazon the man to the
whole State, that ventures to put his
personal ambitions above the demands
and opportunities of his party; it will
handle him without gloves, and he will
cry "peccavi" before it is done with him.
1t is a simple question of faith or trea-
son. and of the two, the choice is but a
narrow one for clean Republicans who
have the real interest of the party at
heart. He who has not is so cheap as
to hold his party at lower bid than he
holds himself. The sooner he is known
the better for all concerned and he shall
be made manifest when the time comes!
The Astorian does not believe such a
course will be necessary; it does not
know of single man on the ticket like
" to take such course; it is aware
such tails invariably eminate from the
opposition for specific and doubtful pur-
pose; and it makes the declaration only
for fulflment in the event Of clear
cut and provable case of deliberate
bad faith in which event it will keep
its word to the letter.

FIRE! FIRE.! FRET!

Ever since the 10Th day of April every
community on the Pacific Slope has
been on the qui vive for the fire alarm
and especially, the coast towns and
cities. Astoria almost had hysteria
when the alarm came out from Aston
street and the smoke and fame went
hurtling toward the main centers Of the
town on Wednesday afternoon. The
hourly history that has been sent from
San Francisco during the past few days
has begotten deep interest in all
things appertaining to fire and its sub
iugation, and the close shave of We'd
nesday has emphasized the interest.
That the blaze on Astor street was well
handled is admitted on all sides, but the
same thing might have transpired at
another time and under conditions that
would have defed the same skillful eff
forts put forth at the afternoon engage
ment. 1t is the concensus of opinion

Alabama Lady's
CURE BY THE
CUTICURA REMEDIES

"About four years ago I was afflicted
with black splotches all over my face
and few covering my body, which
produced severe itching irritation, and
which caused me great deal of annoy
ance and suffering, to such an extent that
was forced to call in two Of the leading
physicians Of my town. After thor
ough examination of the dreaded COM
plant they announced it to be skin
eczema in its worst form. They treated
me for the same for the length of one
year, but the treatment did me no good.
Finally / became despondent and
decided to discontinue their services.
Shortly afterwards, my husband in read
ing copy of a weekly New York
paper saw an advertisement of the Cuti-
cura Remedies. He purchased the en-
tire outfit, and after using the contents
of the first bottle of Cuticura Resolvent
in connection with the Cuticura Soap
and Ointment, the breaking out entirely
stopped. | continued the use of the
Cuticura Remedies for six months, and
after that every splotch was entirely
gone and the affected parts we're left as
clear as ever. | have not felt symp-
tom Of the eczema since, which was three
years ago.
"The Cuticura Remedies not only
cured me of that dreadful disease,
eczema, but other complicated troubles
as well; and l have been the means Of
others being cured of the same disease
by the Cuticura Remedies, and / don't

is the best blood medicine that the world
has ever known" Lizzie f. Sledge,

very fortunately. 1t was one Of the
kind that is worked with a derrick,
and was strong and of the size recon-
mended by the makers for use on our
stumps. after much correspondence
about the matter. After several days
of about the hardest work any of us
ever did we got up three stumps, and
not very large ones either. We then
resorted to dynamite, and found it
reasonably cheap and entirely effec-
tive. We used 40 per cent grade
and an electric battery for firing. We
could not have used fuse for firing,
because we had to put several sticks,

Clearing Land of Stumps.

Some one asks the Rural New York
er about clearing land of StumpS,
whether with stump puller or by
blowing them out with dynamite. The
question and the replies of several,
who have had experience. are given
in the same paper We have seen
stump puller used in this state, which
worked somewhat on the principal
of a house moving machine, and
which would take out any stump pro
vided Won had chains which would
hold. Dynamite is good if used with
care and judgment. In Northern lndl-
ana we used, years ago, pole stump
puIIer similar to the one described by
L. ]. Post. though we never used but
one team of horses on it. 1t is re-
markably efficient with stumps that
are not too large. But would hardly
turn a pine stump with its large tap
root Hard wood stumps that have
stood a few years can be taken out
very readily with one of these poles.
In this heavily timbered country the
best method of getting rid of stumps
is an important question.
G. w, Massachusetts, have about
eight acres of stump land, cut over
two years ago, timber mostly spruce.
VIII run from eight to 10 inches i'm
diameter one foot from ground. The
age. and now / want to clear it of
stumps. as | wish to plOw and plant
it next season if possible. The soil
is sandy loan and will average about
80 stumps to the acre. What is the
best way to get them out, with dyna-
mite Or a stump puller? What is
the best size and make of stump pull
| Ter for this work. or most suitable for
| this size of stumps? What would the
| probable cost be per acre for labor
| with man and team figured at 81 per
| day of 10 hours and man without
| team $3.50 per day? How long befOree
the land can be plOwed after stumps
are removed?
| Though l have had no experience in
blowing stumps with dynamite, that
of neighbor may be worth while.
He put a road 90 or 20 rods long and
n feet wide, through dense woods,
| where the green stumpS ran four
inches to nearly three feet in diameter.
He used lOw-grade explosive, from
| half Il roll to two rolls at time, and
got them out as fast as two twO-hOrse
| teams could haul them away. He
placed one and one-half roll under a
maple two and One-half feet in dia-
! meter and the explosion lifted the
tree about two feet. When it came
back it toppled over with the roots
clear of the ground. Spring-tOOth har-
rows. weighted, got out the smaller
roots. The number of stumps he does
not know. The dynamite cost $50,
and he thinks any other method of
removing the stumps would have cost
at least four times as much. Time
required about three days.

Beauty in Goats Milk.


The Sheep Breeder gives some hints
which may be valuable. Both the
following articles are from that paper:
To Prof Francis King Cooke, of
Winnetka, ILL.,. belongs the distinction
of trying to increase wOman's beauty
through the consumption of goats
milk, and thus increasing the health
of the girl pupil of a fashionable
boarding school, says a daily paper.
The expectation is that this milk Will
give the girls such health as they
never before enjoyed. with the effect
of creating rosy cheeks and laying the
foundation for a sweet wOmanhood.
His flock is composed of Toggen-
burg and Saanen breeds, said to be the
best milk goats. and part of an i'm
DOrtatiOn of 125 head from Switzer-
land that cost about $1,000. Upon
their arrival they met a royal receD-
tiOn. A goat that could increase the
good looks of the daughters of rich
mammas who wear seal skins and tour
Europe annually was something to be
accorded unusual hOnors A circus
could not attract more attention than
did that flock of goats. With his head
proudly uplifted, the Saanen buck was
led toward the ancient barn, followed
meekly by the nannies. Back of them
all marched the boarding school girls,
each anxious to taste the wonderful
milk. The promoter of this goat farm
expects to demonstrate that the goat
can take the place Of the cow in sup
plying big cities with milk. Because
of the small space needed for them
and the cheapness of maintaining
them, he thinks goats may be raised
in large numbers close to Chicago and
the milk brought into the city night
and morning.
But whilst this enterprise is intend
ed to increase the health and beauty
of those weakly girls, Mrs Roby, of
Chicago. some years since commenced
the purchase of common goats and
sold them at a low price and on time
when required to the poor of Chicago
who were not able to buy a COW.
Anoint thy Face with Goats MillSi- :
Violet leaves have lately come largely
into use for the treatment of gOut.
They were formerly considered DectOr-
al, useful in diseases of the chest, but
the supposed virtues of the whole
class of pectOral medicines have van
iShed before the severe medical criti-
cism of the last fifty years, and at the
present day the petals of the violet
are rarely prescribed. The root of
the violet. however, is an emetic, and
may be useful as a domestic remedy,
the dose being 40 grams. The infus-
ion of viOlets is one of the most deli
cate tests of the presence of acids
and alkalies The former changes its
color to red, the latter to green. The
Highland ladies of former times used
the violet as a cosmetic, the old Gaelic
receipt being: 'AnOint thy face with
goats milk. in which viOletS have been
infused, and there is not young
prince on earth who will not be charm
ell with thy beauty
