TRIP AROUND THE WORLD
One OF The Six Admirals OF The
British Fleet Arrives at Frisco.


SAN FRANCISCO, June 23.- Sir
James Elphinstone Erskine, senior Of
the six admirals OF the British feet,
arriver in this city yesterday on his
way around the world, accompanied
by his wife and family In an inter
view, he is quoted as expressing the
opinion that the Pacific will be the
scene Of the next ocean warfare
though he would not say between
what powers. He also expressed the
conviction that still greater battle
ships than ever yet have been plan
ned, would be laid down in future
naval programs-that vessels Of the
Dreadnaught type had not yet reach
ed their fullest development The
tendency, he said, was to put as
many guns as could be on single
base. The admiral, who is making a
two years tour, came here by way
OF the straits of Magellan. After a
stay Of few days, he will proceed on
his way to the orient by way of Brit
ish Columbia. Being 60 years Of age
the admiral will go on the retired
list next year.

OFFICER SKETCHES
Of The Career Of Army Men For
Memorial Hall.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-The
work Of preparing sketches OF the
cereer of army officers covering the
last decennial period for the memoir
ial hall at West Point is now in prep
aration in anticipation OF the bring
ing OF the archives OF that collection
up to the year 1910 Many people not
of army circles are not familiar with
the liberal bequest OF the late Gen.
Cullom Of the army who left fort
une for the building Of what is deem
ed by most people who have seen it
to be the most beautiful memorial
hall ever erected, 1t is the resting
place of tablets commemorating the
deeds of officers who died in battle
and in it are preserved the records
of all graduates OF the military acad-
emy, A long time is required to gath
er the information deposited in the
memorial hall every ten years. Men
who are engaged in this work declare
that among all the officers of the
army few if any, will show such a
record OF having been under fire
during the last ten years as Gen Bell,
chief of staff. Gen Bell, it is said,
during the service in the Philippines
was under fire in 81 battles or
skirmishes. Many other officers have
extensive records of striking careers
as the past ten years have ben event
full in military circles, the biographi-
cal collection to be deposited at West
Point will be filed with incidents
worthy of study by the cadets who
look to that hal Of fame for inspira-
ton.

SALARIES REDUCED
Of The Officers Of The American
Smelling And Refining Co.

NEW YORK. June 23.-Salaries
and incidental expenses Of officials Of
the American Smelling and Refining
Company have been reduced $750000
according to Daniel Guggenheim,
chairman and president of the comp
any.
Before | left for Europe" said Mr..
Guggenheimer, on his return from a
four months trip abroad, Il set the
rolling ball by reducing my own sal
ary.My brothers who devote their
entire time to the affairs OF the comp
any, also reduced their salaries volun-
tarilv.
Like all we'll managed companies
we cleaned out augean stables early
last spring. While our salary list is
reduced by $750,OO0, l am informed
that the efficiency of our labor has
been improved from sixty to eighty
per cent to nearly perfect That
means another saving in expenses"
The rumor was denied that A. c.
Chester Beattie has left the employee
Of the Guggenheims. Daniel Guggen-
helm said that Mr.. Beattie in all
probability would be the manager
in chief of the Guggenheim explora-
ton Company.
Mr.. Guggenheim pointed out that
none of the Guggenheim brothers

ors of the Guggenheim Exploration

LEWISTON FoRGETS.

Lewiston is urging Tacoma to
assist her in obtaining better trans
portation connections,
Has Lewiston forgotten, that when
recently, Astoria suggested better
rates between Lewiston and this
port, that the Lewiston press
unanimously declared they did not
wish to be removed further from the
sea?
Or does the inland city forget that
it and Tacoma are on opposite sides
Of a lofty mountain ranger
That Tacoma, by rail, is farther
away from her than is Astoria?
That Astoria at the mouth of the
Columbia river is the natural sea-
port for all towns on the Columbia
and Snake rivers and their tribu-
taries?.
If it has forgotten these things, we
respectfully urge them again upon
her ambitious consciousness, in the
bare hope that she may realize all
they mean to her and to Astoria.

THE DIsLoYAL DOLLAR.

Whatever money will buy at As
toria, for our needs and maintenance,
will be bought there" Thus spoke
A. B. Hammond, in the course of a
conversation with we'll known AS
torian, recently, in regard to the
policies Of his company in this i'm
portant regard And ii furnishes forth
the text for something that must be
said, as well now, as later.
That far-seeing man meant that
the money his people made in AS
toria, under their new milling pro-
gram, would be turned back into the
local channels Of trade and supply,
in so far as the city can provide the
things requisite; that they would do
their share in supporting the COM
munity in which they figure as a
factor and from whence they derive
their local income. 1t is the very key
note of communal and individual
business success; note that fails OF
the sounding far too often in this
community, to which end the As
torian, with the best and most earn
est desire for the good of the whole
city, breaches a word of warning at
this time:
There is too much Astoria-made
money being spent at Portland and
other neighborhoods contiguous
thereto. Men have lived and done
business in shacks in Astoria, only
to take their home made money
away and invest it where it
can never do this city or section a
fraction of good. Men build homes
here, and then send thousands to
Portland for furniture and other
equipment, to the detriment and dis
couragement of the home-city and
her merchants. This policy is known
and widely commented on, and it
rankles in the public conscience as
deliberate injustice
