A POTTERY INDUSTRY.

The expenditure OF few hundreds
to determine the almost pre-deter-
mined excellence OF Clatsop's abund-
ant clays, by the Chamber Of COM
merce, is to be commended on the
score OF its certainty and success. 1t
is one thing that has stared the people
OF this city and county in the face for
years, and that it has never been ex-
plotted and made the most OF, is enc
of those things that must be charged
to the unaccountable in all communi-
ties
Mr.. Ogan is very sanguine as to
the workable merits OF the clays here
and does not hesitate to pronounce
them avalible for commerce in nearly
all the phases OF trade and service
known to the expert potter. We hope
the tests he is about to make will
demonstrate the whole situation to
be feasible and prolific OF profitable
results, to Astoria and to his con-
Germ; and that by this time next year
Astoria may be turning out her mil
lions of brick and other merchantable
articles in this staple to the wide ad-
vantage of the city and those inter
ested directly.

THE MILITANT JAP.

1t strikes the ordinary thinker, the
man on the go, without time to get
down to the detail OF the matter, that
the Japanese are accumulating a huge
handful of trouble. What with their
ambition to dominate the Pacihc
Ocean as war power and as the
leading commercial nation on its
borders; with war of reprisal due at
any time Russia may find herself
prepared; China becoming restive and
even warlike under the perpetual ag-
gression the Jap is thrusting upon
her; and her alleged intention OF
smashing the United States into
shreds, the doughty little brown
man" is taking on contracts that
would stagger any nation OF the earth
OF 10 times his resources.
It is impossible to withhold ones
respect for this ambitious, aggressive
and courageous people; but the con-
viction that they are altogether too
bumptious and grasping for their
purse and prestige, is unacceptable.
They are modern wonders in many
WAYS, with incalculable capacity for
absorption and a splendid knack OF
adaptation, but are growing too fast
and are likely to run across a Water
loo sooner or later that will fix their
place normally and finally on a much
lower plane than they now exultingly
and somewhat insolently aspire to.

REMARKABLY EFFECTIVE.
A Noted Doctors Prescription Checks
an Acute Cold in a Day and
Cures Chronic Coughs.

The wonderfully healing powers oi
pine have been known for ages, but
the comparatively new form OF pine
product which has the quality Of be-
ing soluble, which is now being gen
orally prescribed by doctors, is known
to the profession as concentrated oil
OF pine. A Philadelphia lung and
throat specialist declares that the for
mula in which he now uses the con-
centrated oil Of pine has produced re-
markable results, often entirely cur
ing severe cold in "a hours. This
formula is very simple and the ingre-
dients can be obtained OF any good
prescription druggist and mixed at
home. 1t is as follows mix hall
ounce Concentrated oil OF pine with
two ounces OF glycerine and a hall
pint OF good whisky; shake it thor
oughly each time, and use in doses OF
a teaspoonful to a tablespoonful every
four hours"
The Concentrated oil OF pine comes
put up for medical use only in hall
ounce vials, which are securely sealed
in tin screw-top boxes.
The boxes are air-tight and thus re-
tain the original ozone. as well as pro-
tecting the fluid from atmospheric
changes. Care should be taken not
to get any OF the patent medicine imi-
tations using similar name and pack
age.
1t is also said to be splendid spe-
ci6c for rheumatism and lumbago
For this purpose it is taken raw on
sugar, a few drops each night and
morning. No family medicine chest
should at any time be without this
powerful remedy.

MINERS CARELESSNESS
CAUSES DISASTERS.

Poor ventilation is not always re-
sponsible for mine disasters. Side by
side with this menace to human life
walks the ignorant, obstinate miner,
who refuses to adhere to the rules
governing his part Of the work. By
carelessness he holds the lives of his
companion workers in the hollow Of
his hands. If he is working in mine
where fire-damp is prevented, and his
safety-lamp is extinguished by some
accident, he has orders to return to
the surface to relight it. But that
takes time, and time to him means
just SO much more money. Whats

TARIFF REVISION.

The Morning Astorian hears a
great deal these days about the revis-
ion of the tariff now in force under
the Dingley law, and it is always ac-
companied by tacit demand for an
early revision of that federal schedule,
The people are becoming sharply en-
lightened on many things, nowadays,
and they realize they are paying vast
ly more than is necessary for the
staple things of life; that the margins
of profit innuring to the manufac-
turer, the middleman, the retailer and
the wholesaler are grossly exorbitant
and that the embargo on which a
large per cent of this profit is based
must be removed if the ordinary citi-
zen IS to live, and provide for the
future of his family.
He is educated to the fact that
ine-tenths OF the staples he is pay
ing heart-breaking prices for, are
shipped out of the country, thousands
of miles away, and sold to foreigners
at 81 and 80 per cent less than the
man at home pays for them; and it is
beginning to gall. The revision Of
this law is one of the crying demands
of the hour and it will not cease until
justice is done to the commonalty OF
America; Uncle Joe Cannon and all
his host OF plutocratic hackers to
the contrary notwithstanding
For supposedly bright people we
are about the dumbest set on the
round green earth when it comes to
such gigantic frauds as thisl

THE TRAINED FIREMAN.

Fire Chief Croker, of New York
City, one Of the greatest experts in
the world on fire-fghting-service, its
personnel and apparatus, declares in
a recent interview, that the ordinary
fireman is not necessarily brave at
any juncture of his career; that he is
simply trained to do certain things
and does them from sheer sense OF
duty; if his life is sacrificed it is only
an error OF judgment and not a de-
liberate conservation OF all he has to
yield for the good of others. We
opine that the big chief is talking
from purely professional grounds and
a lifelong experience that may, in
his own case, justify his deductions;
but that is rather an unfair estimate,
however plausible it may be to the
seasoned expert.
What becomes of the novitiate, the
young, inexperienced fireman, who
goes up against terrible climax, and
passes the grave engagement only
because he is indomitably brave?z Is
he to be denied the honor of having
done a trying duty simply because he
is paid for the service and his natural
courage forbade him finch9 What Of
the man who is weakened by smoke
and gases and the thousand-and-one
impediments that beset the fireman
in the course of his high duty, and
staggers through them with what Of
will and endurance he may possess
saving life and property as he issues
from the desperate crisis? Is he to
be denied all credit for having done
his duty under perilous and untoward
circumstances? The fireman is il
duty bound to save his own life from
every hazard that confronts him or
the simple principle that his life and
strength and skill are imperatively
necessary for the salvation Of the live:
and property he has been sent tc
save; and when he gives that life III
he weakens the service that much ant
imposes fresh obligations on his fel
lows at moment when they are no
prepared to assume them.
We cannot agree with the New
York chief. The layman dislikes t.
relinquish his old-time diea of the
fireman as brave and resourcefu
man, doing a splendid duty and taking

SEEKING THE SPEED LIMIT
OF SAFETY.

In an interesting article on Seek
ing the Speed Limit Of Safety in the
March Popular Mechanics the writer
says:
There was time when. new
stretch OF railway line having been
completed, the engineers OF the road
ordered train crew to run train
over it at full sped, with the idea that
il no accidents occurred the track had
been sufficiently tested and found
safe. Such q time has passed. New
devices have come into use which
make il possible to determine TO the
very letter the amount OF strain to
which piece Of track can be subject.
For several months the Pennsyl-
vania railroad has been conducting
series OF tests along its lines to de-
termine the relative safety OF highest
speed with steam and electric locomo-
tives.
ITO carry out these tests a halt
mile OF track was built through a
rural section. The half mile OF track
has a sharp curve in the center and
lies on stretch OF almost perfectly
level ground. Over this hundreds
OF runs have been made with three
powerful locomotives and some OF the
largest steam engines the road owns,
Speed Of from 90 to 96 miles an hour,
timed by accurate electrical apparatus
have been made.
ITO enable the locomotive to attain
a high speed the runs commences on
the main line several miles distant
from the special track. For the half
mile stretch steel beams support the
rails, and at the outer ends, which are
a trifle higher at the curve, are deli
cate gauges which measures the inn
pact OF the heavy locomotives as they
pass over it. =. .Seicmographs
mounted in the locomotives measure
the degree of sway in rounding the
curve.
"The electric engines used in the
tests weigh 95 tons and are each
equipped with four 500-hp. motors,
In reality the engines are each just
one-half OF the complete locomotives
which will be used to draw trains
through the Pennsylvania tunnels
now under construction beneath New
York City. 1t was considered too
hazardous to use the complete eng
ines in the tests because of their great
weight.
