WHATS THE NATTER.

Whats the matter with Astoria?'
"She's all right"
A. B. Hammond has come back to
her, and centered his immense mill
ing interests here.
Frank A. Seufert is coming down
from the upper river to build or buy
and operate his great fishing inter
ests here, or hereabout.
This is to be one OF the best fish
ing seasons known in a long time.
The lumber mills are running all
over the city, and the outlying
plants are making ready to open up.
Tourists are focking to the coasts
north and south of US, and many Of
them are stopping off here in spite Of
the plans OF certain transportation
people to sidetrack Astoria. -
Everybody in Astoria who has to
work or wants to work is busy at
good wages.
The youngsters are in the midst OF
their vacation festivities; the sick are
getting well; the people refuse to
die under any circumstances during
this superb weather; the stork is
winging daily flights to this neighbof-
hood with Draw lot OF handsome
healthy new recruits to the civic
ranks; the business world here is as
free as ever Of failures; trade might
be better and soon will be: the bay IS
bristling with busy craft of all
kinds and the suburban towns are
lively and active and inviting; the
weather is ideal and the regatta sea-
son is to be the finest ever.
We might go on indefinitely with
quotations of this sort, but these sug-
gestions are enough to convey our
sense of satisfaction to the outsider
and we agree to prove it all if he or
she comes down to see us. It's all

GETTING SUDDENLY WISER t.

Haybeys Weekly, in comment upon
the Prohibition movement, says:
But this American movement diff
fers from anything of the kind that is
going on in Europe in being appar-
emily spontaneous and popular, and in
it's substance not thing stimulated
by exhortation or excitement, but the
result of slowly matured conviction
based on observation and experience.
We hope it may turn out as sane
movement as it seems to be. Consider
ing how long mankind has dallied with
rum, it is astonishing how little it has
learned about it, and how large pro-
portion of the experimenters continue
to daily with it to their detriment.
Maybe the world is getting suddenly
wiser on this subject.
1t might be respectfully suggested to
the Journal of Civilization" as Har-
tey's delights to call itself, that it should
speak for itself A large part of the
world, and especially of the American
world has already learned about all
there is to learn about rum" and has
formed its conclusions very decidedly. If
HaybeYs had spent upon intelligent study
of the question half the time and effort
that it has expended upon opposing the
Prohibition movement, it would be in
far better light today; however, let us
hope that even that old sheet Sis getting
suddenly wise"

REFORMERS

NOT so long ago, ION Johnson OF Cleveland
said, in substance: 1.-The people who start
forms at first called fanatics; after "a
time, as the reform makes progress, the public
begins to say It's right in theory but imprac
popular they shout we were with you all
the time"
BY DUANE NELSON GRIFFIN.
Reformers, when they start crusades,
Are lonesome as the "ace of spades;
Their friends and neighbors shun them quite,
Or try their best to "set them right
By reason, threat and rdcule;
But firm they stand-'just like mule
This only makes their critics fret,
And getting mad, and madden yet,
They call them "cranks," fanatics" fools!
Yet naught of this their ardor cools.
Now, when at length the seed they SOW
Begins to sprout and root and grow,
Until it looks much like tree,
AS more and more men do agree,
And honestly begin to try
To things "eye to eye;
Their critics then get wondrous wise,
And, looking on with great surprise,
They say: Its right as the'res go,
Yet so impractical, you know"
But when at last the fruit appears,
Past many days-it may be years
IT'S then the critics cease to bother,
But often tumble DER each other,'
To who shall be first to say:
Il told you so, this is the way
And some there are so very vain,
Who go so far as then to claim
CTwould almost make a donkey SMILEY
