POLITICAL GHOSTS.

1t is high time that Astoria was ex-
orcising its political ghostl
1t has hung spectrally over her
best interests for time out of mind
and warped her best prospects and
ambitions until they have fallen un-
served and futile; it has denied and
denuded her industrially, commercial
ly and politically; it has thrust its
dismal and grisly hand in the path of
her prograss and barred her from
achievement so often that she has
come to feel there is no such thing
as success, nor compensated enter
prise, nor a definite share for her in
the good things of the day.
1t is the ghost of sel6shness that
stalks in all towns and cities of less
than metropolitan dimension; the in
carnate type of bossism; the leading
citizen" who uses his advanced posi-
ltion to swing all things to his net and
nest; the boss" who bends every
thing to his peculiar sphere and makes
his sanction and support the issue OF
the hour; the man and men who put
their personal interests first and be-
fore the public needs and values;
whose only idea in the disposition of
large and popular concerns, is where
they touch the line of his private
domain and personal relationship,
with no further thought of its wider
and wholesomer bearing; whose sole
use for the mastery position that
time and public confidence has con-
ferred upon him, is the right to die
tate to those who have honored him,
for the saving and bolstering of his
especial aims and holdings.
Astoria NUT divorce business and
politics.
She must shake off the hold of the
selfish leader and hark back to the
commoner and happier code of work
| ing out the general good rather than
conserving the particular and private
interests of her ghosts" The sooner
she disclaims and ignores this type Of
Iniggardly public spirit the better for
all concerned, even for the man and
men who have been used to debating
her courses and her failures,
She must rise above the one-man
plane and do her commercial and in
dustrial stunts without taking cogniz-
ance Of the toes she is standing on
in the course of the task. What
serves the whole city serves its best
and least citizen, and while the adj
vantage is common and at times in
determinable, all hands must stand
pat, make the most Of it, and be glad
it is done.
Chuck the political ghost Of re-
stricted, selfish domination, and move
forward on all honest and promising
lines with Astoria for slogan in
place of some mans personally in
lspired whisper, however influential he
may be reckoned. Astoria first, then
the private citizenl

MONTANA news
MOST ACTIVE YEAR IN MINING.
In Spite of Butte Slump, Montana Has
Good Output.

During the year 1907 Montana con.
tributed in precious metals to the
wealth of the nation approximately
S5S, 600 900, divided as near as posi-
bic as follows: Copper. 22o,coo,ooo
pounds at 20 cents on an average, SD,
600. 900: silver. 12.50O, 900 ounces at so
cents. s6,25O,OO0; gold. 225,o0O ounces
at $40. $4,000, 900. and 25,O00 tons of
lead at 5 cents a pound, $4,000, 000.
These figures of course are not Off
cial, but are based upon the most re
liable estimates of the leading mining
interests of the state, such as Anal
gamated Copper company otlclals,
other Butte miners and those Of sew
eral experts. The showing is regard
ed as remarkable, indeed, especially
when it is considered that several
months ago the output Of the Butte
district was curtailed so per cent, and
the further fact that gold and silver
are mined in that section as a by
product of copper; that is. they are
won from the red metal ores.
The year., aside from the slump in
Butte. has been the most active in the
history Of the state. Old properties
have been rehabilitated. and new ones
developed, and in practically every in
stance with great success. This is
particularly true of the Helena dis
trict, whose output has been the high
est since the years of Last Chance
gulch-now Main street-which small
stream yielded $35,00o,oN in gold to
the placer operators.
The copper, silver and gold lodges
of the state were actively explored
during the year. The further explora-
ton carried on in the Butte district
has developed no change in either the
quality of the ores or in the size of
the bodies. On the contrary, they
have been added to largely by discov-
cries made in the development OF new
| ground. The veins still hold their
values as depth is obtained. several
thousand feet having been accom-
plished during the year.
During the year the ~gold-bearing
districts in all parts of the state have
attracted more attention than ever be
fore. Numberless small gold proper
ties are undergoing development, and
on the whole, with the very richest
Of indications. Placer mining also has
been carried on extensively. a num-
Der of electric dredges having been in
stalled during the wear. In several
counties the old Sluice system is still
resorted to with more than mediocre
, success.

OFFICERS SHOT FATAL.

one of the Washington cities and had
been pursued and shot at several
times, but managed to escape. The
deceased was perhaps thirty years
old, and is supposed to be the son of

CATARRn MADE LIFE
4 BURDEN TO NE.

MISS ANNIE CATRON, e27 Main
avA St., Cincinnati. Ohio, writes:
AS I have found Peruna a blessing
for a severe case of catarrh of the head
md throat which l suffered from for a
Number of years, l am only too pleased
10 give it my personal endorsement.
"Catarrh, such as l suffered from,
made life a burden to me, my breath
was offensive, stomach bad, and my
head stopped up so that l was usually
troubled with a headache, and although
l tried many so-called remedies, moth
Ing gave me permanent relief. l was
rather discouraged with all medicines
when Peruna was suggested to me.
However, l did buy a bottle, and be-
fore that was finished there was a
marked change in my condition. Much
encouraged l kept on until l was COM
piefeIy cured in a months time, and l
find that my general health is also ex-
~cellent."
People who prefer solid medicines
should try Peruna tablets. Each tablet
represents one average dose of Peruna.

Refining company has made specific
denial of the story hat he had said
ration to close several more plants
throughout the country. What he said
was that several smelters had closed,
reference being made to the Utah

conditions resume he would not be
surprised If wages were restored. The
smelter employees in Helena will hold
a meeting soon to consider the matter
of accepting the 10 per cent cut or

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

~ local applications, Is they cannot reach the dis
0ased portion OF the ear. There Is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed condition OF the
mucous lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inaamed you have a rumbling sound or I'M
perfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed, Deaf.
ness Is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condi.
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition Of the mucousSurfaces.
