THE PATRIOTIC DOLLAR.

There are patriotic men and women,
galore, in every community in this
broad land who fame into hot rebel
lion at the merest whisper OF re-
proach against their town or city or
county, or place OF residence and
revenue; who mouthe and froth and
yawp on the instant some fiat truth Is
told of them and their management oi
that town or county or home; who
throw spasm after spasm OF virtuous
Indignation at every criticism cast
their way and especially if the stric-
ture be so true that denial is futile
and there are other patriots, who,
knowing the limitations that hedge us
all in, strive manfully to make the
most and best OF deplorable condi-
tions and by word and deed, timely
and generous, try to save that same
community from the touch OF reac
ton and inertia. The difference be-
tween the patriots alluded to may be
traced to the dollar, the dollar
patriotic, and the dollar-recedent
These dollars are at the bottom o
the status of every community in the
country; they account for the lethargy
the poverty OF progress, the cold in
difference, the abnegation, and com
mercial paralysis, of the community
or, again, they tell of the life, tn
spirit of success, the charm and pow
er of progress and prosperity, tn
certainty and assuredness of beinl
and doing and living i'll recognized
and acceptable and up-to-date fashion
This is the story of the patriotic dol
lar everywhere on earth.
Is Astoria bankrupt at this coin?

LAND POVERTY.

We hear great deal from many
of our friends down about this necl:
of he woods of being iand-poor, stag
gered by land taxes, and at wit's-end
to know what to do with their costly
possessions; the constant reiteration
of :he plant has gotten on our nerves
and set our sympathetic nature all a,
culver with desire to alleviate the
stress. We have no land of Our own:
therefore We cannot enter into the
thing with the poignant and realistic
sense of its actual limit of strain;

but, coming the situation for avenues
OF relief, we hazard the bald sug-
gestion that they give away one-hait
OF their land, outright, upon such
terms and conditions, and to such
people, as shall ensure the develop
ment, utility and enhanced value OF
the other half.
Ii man owns 500 acres OF forest
land that he cannot improve himself,
it might be profitable to give some
energetic man or men, of family and
character. 50 or 100 or 200 acres OF
it, to clear the tract, upon such terms
as would make it matter OF sheer
profit for all concerned, bring the
property OF all within the purview OF
the markets, advance its value, and
make it worth the while OF all to pay
the taxes; ii it be tide-lands, do the
same thing, with due provision that
all OF it shall be diked by the bene-
| hciaries, and make the gift reverslon-
able in the event of default, either by
mortgage or the terms OF gift; ii 1t
be water-frontage, give modicum OF
it to the man who will put mill or
a factory or dock and warehouse, or
any appreciable improvement upon
his share OF it, thus redeeming it from
desuetude and making that which re-
mains to the donor of some distinct
relative value. Give it away, and
civilize it; bring it within the radiu:
of activity and determinable value
This beats Juggling it around througl
life, or several lives and generations
barren, prohtless, inept, inert, i'm
poverishing its owner to a point ana
lagous to its own impoverishment.
We realize the effrontry of such
suggestion right here in Astoria bu
our interest in these unhappy owner
OF too much burdensome propert,
inspires us with unusual courage anc
we dare urge this expedient for thei
good as for that of the city and coun
ty. 1t is the way things are done ii
other live communities, and alway
with magnificent results We know i
will fall fat so fiat we may not be evel
reproached with our temerity; but TIL
knowledge OF having done our poo
best to give a cue, hint OF salvation
compensates for what Of snecr ant
denial must ensue.

DISAPPEARANCE
 OF W. (. LIVELY
Leaves His Wife at Tevarkana to Go in
 Search of Food and Never Returns.

There is a woman stopping at the Johnson Hotel, who is telling sad story of thel mysterious disappearance of her husband, Mir. w. c. Lively, at Texarkana last Monday, and she fears that his mind is deranged, caused by sickness.
 Mir. and Mrs. Lively were living at Hope about six weeks ago, and decided one day to go on @ fishing trip on Bodcaw Creek in this county for a camp of sev- eral days. While gone, both were taken i'll with swamp fever, and were sick a month. As soon as they were able to travel they returned to Hope and shipped their household good1 to Gum Springs, where they decided to live. They expected to spend week, however, visiting relatives in Oklahoma. But when they reached Ashdown on their con- templa ted visit, Mr. Lively was persupded to go Ito TeXarkana to work for cooperage company in whose employ he had form erly labored. After reaching Tex arkana he was again taken i'll, and was deFanged at times. to such an extent as to require Sev- eral persons to keep him in bed.
 Last Monday morning he got up and went out on the street to get something to eat and has not been seen by his wife since
 Failing to return to the room the wife assisted by the police of the city instituted a vigorous search, but failed to locate him Mrs. Lively then went to Ar kadelphia where she had two children in school, and ssnt them to her people in Kansas, and stopping off at Gum Springs found that Mir. Lively had been there and left a bundle, leaving the place a-foot, coming in the direction of Prescott.
 Her visit here is in search o1 him. claiming that he often spoke of having friends here.
 The case is ono of deep myst. cry, as regards the mans fate as well as the peculiar state ments of the woman.

in this immediate quarter and over this it is already quite clear that there is going ito be a long drawn out battle.
 As is already pretty genera ly known, the present postmast- CT. Mr. l.. $. Roach has been ar open and avowed candidate for re-appointment for some time, securing endorsements among politicians and business men and otherwise looking after his fen ces.
 And there are others.
 Meeting MT. B. M. Foreman, chairman of the Republican Com mittee of Miller county this morn ing' a reporter of the Texarkan~ ian asked him if he were can, ddate for postmaster? Mir Foreman's reply was that at the proper time would be an appli- can't for the place.
 Colonel Frank M., Thompson, it IS also considered very likely, vii be in the race for the position
 It is also thought possible that former Postmaster Bickley may try, his hand for the prize again.
 The name of Mir. w. H. Evans has also been suggested frequent lyl as a suitable man for the o ficel but as yet he has not given the slightest hint that he cared for the plum.
 The time of the present incum- bent will expire early in Febr, ary and it is probable his suc- cessor will be named by Presi- dent Roosevelt though he may conclude to leave the appoint ment to Mr. Taft.
 Only one thing seems certain present concerning the matter and that is that there is going to be a lively scramble for the place There will doubtless be lots of log rolling and political scheming, and perhaps some hard feelings and some hard talk be- fore the end is reached and the appointment made.-Texarkanfan

Intersper- sed with these papers were some musical numbers that were well rendered. Mrs. A. NJ. Westmore- land and Miss Powell performed most acceptably at the piano, while Mrs. Gould Wilson, Miss Powell and Mrs. D. M.

Fisherman in this section ought to
find fine sport in the Wisconsin river
in year or so, for at present the gov
eminent is stocking this stream. The
species is largely black bass and catfish
from six to eight inches long. They
are secured along the Mississippi, dur
ing the present low water period in
pools along the shore. As the water
recedes the fish are left helpless in
these pools and soon die unless they
again reach running water. The gov
ernment's employees put the large ones
back into the river, but distribute the
young ones in other waters. The gov
eminent has more fish than there are
applications for, and here is a good
opportunity for Wausau sportsmen 10
stock some stream. The government
employees deposited large number of
bass and catfish in The Wisconsin at
Grand Rapids few days ago. some of
which ought to reach this point in due
time.
