out that nobody could afford to be

are we TO do? The sum Of $23,642 is
more than we carry around in our vest

MR.. HAMMoND's PURPOSES.

The formal announcement comes from
Portland that the Astoria & Columbis
River Railroad Company will not stol
st T'iiiamook in its scheme of coast
extension, but press on to Yaquima and
4 connection with the Corvallis 4
Eastern, throwing out a series Of
branch lines en- route that viii cover all
The available and unexploited territory
between Seaside and Yaquima Bay; the
two most notable side lines being up the
two forks of the Nehalem, and the en-
tire scheme developing some of the fin
est country in all Oregon.
These important details have the
sanction of the stockholders and the
directorate and the charter of the road
has been amended to conform to and
confirm the project. 50 that no doubt
remains as to the accuracy of the dec
larations. Months ago, when Mr.. Ham
mond first announced the Tillamook ex-
tension. this paper forecasted the Ger
tain progress of the line to junction
at Yaquina with the c. & E., and
only the proposed branches up the lat
eral valleys as projected at Mondays
meeting in Portland, is news here.
The people of the whole coast coun-
try are to be congratulated on this GER
tain assurance of achieving all they
have hoped and striyen for during the
years that have marked their settle
ment, and the very certainty of its com
ing will have a tendency toward the
unfoldment of a thousand projects,
great and small, that have been in
allegiance for want of just this great
scheme Of transportation. So it is a
fine thing for the A. & c., as well as
those awaiting it, and A. B. Hammond
is no loiterer once he knows what he
wants and is in readiness to proceed.
Astoria herself may be included in
the vast volume of expansion incident
to this undertaking and will reap her
share Of the splendid increment.

SUGGESTIONS FOR MOTHERS.

Parents and teachers need never ex.
pect to govern children successfully un-
til they have learned to govern them.
selves.
Making child mind instantly Is
considered great accomplishment by
some inexperienced parents and teach
ers. Does the child obey your command
with cheerful spirit and with low
ing look in its eyes? Does it show a
desire from day to day to help and
to please you in little things! II so,
your guidance is in the right direction.
Point out attractive ways in which
the child may find pleasure in doing
right. Call out. by conversation with
it, the child's idea of right and wrong
in things that transpire both in its
home and school life. Call out its
childish judgment and respect it, too.
Teach the child to be respectful to
the aged by showing liberal amount
Of Difference to the aged parent, whose
last days are supposed to be made hap
py and comfortable in your home.
Teach the child to be kind to pets,
not by kicking a dog or beating horse
in its presence. There is a better way.

it, Then try to ward off causes for
arousing its temper until it is old
enough to control itself A little tact
will prevent many an unpleasant scene
with nervous, excitable child.-Ex.

SENATOR vARDAMANs POLICY.

\ The declared policy of Senator.elec,
vardman Of Mississippi, to present IL
the federal Senate a bill providing fol
the RECESSION Of the fifteenth amendment
to the Constitution of the country. and
to fight for its success. has sombn
meaning for more people than the col.
ored race of the nation. The conditions
in the South, Of recent years, have
given the Southerner pretty fair
standing in such a contest as Is prom.
ised. and while 1t is far too early to
presage the issue, It is safe to con-
clude that the progress of such a bill
through the national houses will arouse
a clash Of sentiment that win not sub.
side with the adjournment OF Congress,
but is quite likely to be carried into
the years if it shall be as hot as we
believe it win be. Either this, or its
prompt and final crushing out by an
antagonistic disposition ON the part of
Congress win ensue. And there is dan
ger in either event. The success OF such
a measure means the revamping OF all
the sorry and hurtful ante -bellum quar-.
rels, to the utter disquietude and dis
ruption OF social. commercial, educa.
tional and administrative conditions
that have found acceptable status only
after long years of patient and gener-
GUS work and forbearance; and is fail.

THE THINKING SEASON.

Every once in while there comes a
season when public Indifference to
things municipal must give place
TO honest and earnest interest and the
erstwhile careless citizen must do a
bit of real thinking, and not permit it
all to be done by the "boss," the "par-
typ the "leaders," whose interest in
specific things is tantamount to peril.
This thinking season is upon Astoria.
Her citizens are soon to be confronted
with the new amendments to the char
ter of the city, and they are all more
or less important and deserving close
scruntiny. There ore some, in fact,
the majority Of them, that are actually
necessary and expedlent; and others
that are not so plainly essential. The
ordinary mind can easily distinguish
their relative value, provided the trou-
BILE is taken to investigate the list and
weigh the real merit Of each.
One Of the fragrant bIunders commit
ted by the late commission was the
casting out of the amendment abolish
ing the Police Commission and putting
the affairs of that department directly
under the control of the mayor and
council and another, and worse, blunder,
was the Interpolation Of the amendment
providing for the translation of the
Astoria Water Commission to the realm
of local politics, by setting up an elec-
tive tenure for its members and warp
ing its affairs to the general medley
Of municipal control and interference.

"The Witch Of Wall Street, is a well

sational drama and seems to have
caught the popular fancy, as was evil
denced by another crowded house at
the Star Theater last night. As "Jean

Many farmers make the mistake in
building wire fences Of driving the sta.
pies into every post as far as possible.
Do not drive them clear in, except on
end posts. Leave just little "play."
Then wires can easily contract or ex-
pand all along the fence, uniformly,
and, besides, it is easier to draw such
staples when necessary.

It is likely that the billion dollar
Congress and the billion dollar wheat
yield will arrive together. The esti'
mated yield Of winter and spring
wheat for 1906 is 772,264,oOO bushels
or almost s0,0O0000 bushels more than
the total production Of last year. 1t
Is worth while in this connection to
note that not only will the home con.
sumption be larger, but also that there
is large deficit in Europe. In Rus
sia, for instance which exports much
wheat, there Is dire famine in many Of
the provinces.

"If every ear of corn that is to be used

time custom of selecting the best ears
