That is the record OF the most interest
ing spots In the career of Gen. Arson
Mills. To it must be added the fact that
during the four years Of the civil war he
was never absent from mis- regiment either
on leave or on account Of sickness, and
was present at every engagement in which
his regiment took part Fox's Regimen
tai Losses states that his regiment. the
Eighteenth Infantry, lost more in killed
and MORALLY wounded than any ether
regiment In the regular army.
And now, although retired he is still
an active worker. Over the desk OF his
study, at No 2 Dupont circle, is a little
case containing the medals that attest
his gallant service, and there, too, sus-
pended from the horns of a noble moose,
hang the swords which. carried on many
fields with honor, rest in their scabbards.

Gen. Arson Mills was born in Indiana
which has turned out so many good men
on a farm in Boone County, August 81
1891, so that he is to-day IN his seventy
sixth year. Educated in the common
schools. he became q cadet at West Point
on July I. 1855. and remained there until
February Is, 1857. when he left without
graduating. He went at once to the from
tier Of Texas, and engaged in engineering
and land surveying. and 1t was he who
laid out the first plan of the city of FL
Pasc, Tex. In 1883 he was appointed sur
veyor 10 the boundary commission es-
tablishing the boundary between New
Mexico, Indian Territory, and Texas.
He was living ia the county of FL Paso,
Tex, when the question of Separation"
OF no separation came up, and was sub
mitted to the popular vote, and Of the two
lonely votes IN FL Paso County in favor of
no separation" one of them was HIS

He simply says that after this he left
the State Of Texas. but one can imagine
that, being so largely in the minority on
question that was TO develop into the
greatest struggle in all history, he had
good reasons for leaving. At any rate, he

duty at the White House, and many a
night had to sleep IN the Blue Room, on
guard over the President"
In May, 1851, he was appointed first
lieutenant OF the Eighteenth Infantry
after a petition had been sent to Lo-
reno Thomas. adjutant general, by about
forty members of the first class at the
United States Military Academy, men
who had known him and been classmates
with him. On his appointment he was
sent to do recruiting service with his
regiment in the Army of the Ohio Then
until 1864 he was with the Department OF
the Cumberland, whence he was trans
ferred as acting inspector general of the
district Of EtOWah until February. 1865

WEATHER.


The projected establishment of COM
mercial wireless telegraph station on the
heights at Astoria, suggests the idea
that marvellous as we consider these ex-
traordinary agencies, they are but in the
very infancy of development; that in
few years they will have been SO i'm
proved upon as to make the apparatus
and service of today wholly distinct and
useless in comparison. There is no limit
to the inventive capacity of man and
he is never quite satisfied with the good
things he devises for himself and his
fellows. He is eternally after the
simpler and cheaper method, always
looking for way to minimize time, eff
fort and adaptability. When one reviews
the work of scientific development Of
the past quarter century and notes the
ratio of progress as against the century
preceding it, he takes the limit off his
expectations and ceases to estimate any
thing and merely waits its coming.
The certainty that vast and exquisite
expansion along unexpected lines will
come has robbed all achievement of the
old-time marveling and excited surprise
that one time greeted these wonderful
evolutions, and the mind, of man is,
dulled against novelty forever. The man
of today has seen so much he looks al
most unconcernedly for everything; moi
will he be disappointed. Tradition it.
self has gone down before the proven
law of science and superb and gracious
fact alone remains, And this is enough
for most men because he sees his condi-
tion improving with each day he is
permitted to live. .. ....... ....

THE ERA OF GOOD ROADS.

The question of good roads has been a
live one in most Oregon communities for
several years past and has resulted in
infinitely more than most people are
aware, the benefits being purely local
and their extent being matter Of gen.
eral information over the state. It il
quite safe to say that there are hun.
dreds Of miles Of excellent roads In
existance now that were not known
even as intended highways few year,
ago
The supreme advantage Of good roadi
becomes popular only when their ex'
tension reaches out in long distances
and comprehends several counties, as il
the case of the projected Portland
Astoria Coast automobile line now un
der contemplation. And the idea is tax
ing readily with all concerned in thi
matter and another season will gee !
well started on its pleasant route, an
enormously patronized.
There ia nothing that builds coun
ty quicker than fine highways, for the
do not only attract the indulgence 0
outsiders on pleasure bent, but the
facilitate the business of the county an
expedite agriculture and all kindre
agencies to point of despatch tina
makes men marvel that they ever ha
any patience with the old cow-paths an
sheep-trails that existed before.
1t is the same principle that make
the railroad such factor in the countr
it enters and builds up. Solid, well
kept, straight, level, smooth roads al
among the richest assets of any count,
and this estimate ia worldwide.

THE ADS MEAN MUCH.

The splendid system of advertising
projected by Secretary ], II. Whyte OF
the Astoria Chamber Of Commerce, by,
and through which the names and adj
vantages OF this city and county have
been made manifest and interesting in
thousands of localities throughout the
country that had never heard them be-
| fore, means much for all Of us here
about: and it means, chiefly, that we
have rot to get in readiness to receive
the people these ads have invited here,
and supply them with what they want
when they get here, be it farm, home
lot, timber stretch, q mill site. factory
grounds, dairy. ranch,
People here, with these things for
sale, have got to loosen up, put them
or the market at rational figures and
pass the title at any old hour after the
seekers begin to come in. Or else all
the work so skilfully and comprehensive
" done, viii be of little avail in holding
these newcomers and profting by their
faith in what we have pledged.
We have said all this before, and in
tend to say it again, and again, until the
peculiar truth OF the situation strikes
in on the average Gatsopian intelligence
and results in the listing of the prop
critics and businesses needed for the big
program that has been laid down by the
Chamber OF Commerce.
There must be no disappointment
when people come here and ask for the
advantages we have proclaimed. We
must meet the last demand, and meet 1t
!. promptly.

CRIME AND BAD COOKING.

The Kansas City clergyman who de-
clared there is a direct connection
between doughnuts and religion is sec
onded by the New Orleans state health
officer who assedts that 90 per cent OF
the crime of United States are due to
bad cooking.
The emotions of the man who leaves
his habitation in the morning with the
memory OF half-eooked flannel cakes,
soggy potatoes, overdone or underdone
steak and coffee, in which the grounds
swirled around like log chips in an eddy,
may be easily be imagined. He is fit for
treason, stratagems or spoils. Il is
not to be wondered at If he begins the
day by assassinating the truth and ends
| it by numbering the kings English. He
is likely to suffer the same ultimate end
as the man who died and had the fore
thought to arrange his own epitaph be-
fore going to lie down among his fathers.
The tombstone bore the words HE did
his BEST" until some victim of the bad
cooking of the wife OF the deceased came
along and made the epitaph honest by
adding the word "friend"
Without regard to the thermometer OF
the barometer the man who rises from
a badly evoked meal exclaims ''Now i:

Letter to NunraI1y & Co.
Green Forest. Ark.

Dear Sir: How did you get your business? We'll tell you how we got ours. You sell shoes, we make paint; perhaps we can do a good turn to ourselves, you and we, by swapping experi- ences.
 We began 152 years ago in a little shop a few minutes walk from where we are now; great many things have happened, we don't remember them all. We made as good paint as we could and learned to make better. We are the oldest now; we don't know whether we had any teach. CT or not; it's so long ago; if we had, he's gone and forgotten. We should have been forgotten, if we hadn't made good paint and friends.
 You buy your shoes; you have an advantage in that; if you make a mistake, you can stop it quick; if you make a hit. you can push it quick. We've had to go slow; it's hard to pick out ones own mistakes, and nothing but fun to correct the mistakes of others. You know where to go for leather that keeps it's shape, feels good, looks new and wears a long time. What comfort it is to be comfortable from making. one's customers comfortable.
 We also have a unique advan- tage-unique, you know, means that nobody else has anything like it. We make a strong paint that takes less gallons, saves half the cost of painting your house, and it's like that leather of yours for wear. It is all paint and the strongest of paint. Paint is usually adult srated and weak.
 We're very old, but we make young paint! One gallon is better than two, if it has the stuff in it. Yours truly
