The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1908-07-02

True to contract, the fine steamship
Nebrasksn Of the Americana Hawaiian
Steamship Company entered port
yesterday morning at S;ls, under
pilotage Of cptain Staples, OF the bar
service, and with her own master,
Captain G, b, Knight. on the bridge,
She Is very roomy freigh,cr and Is
kept in the very pink OF condition.
T.. d. Broadhead is chief mate OF the
Nebraskan, W. S, Pearson is second
mate. and NJ. f. Williams is pilot, or
port-master. All the gentlemen ex-
pressed themselves as favorably inn
pressed with the city and harbor Of
Astoria, none OF them having been
here before this call.
At. 1880 a. m. she was snug along
side the Can dock, and a gang OF 40
men were hustling $4,000 cases Of
Columbia River salmon down her
hatches and through her cargo doors.
There was no loss OF time anywhere
during the day and at 6 o'clock she
was ready TO batten down and leave
for the lower harbor, preparatory to
departure over the bar this morning.
She goes direct to San Francisco
from here; thence to Salinas Cruz,
the western terminus OF the Tchaun-
tapec lsthmus. where her freight
will be trans-shipped to New York,
and the vessel will go to her home
port OF Honolulu with. what she car
ries for Oriental delivery.
That she came into this port took
on cargo and got away within "a
hours, is matter OF gratulatory
comment on the part OF her officers,
and among the waterfront people and
business men Of Astoria generally;
and there seems to be no doubt about
securing plenty Of cargo for her or
her sistcrships on their monthly calls
at this port, which, it is understood,
is the program that has been lined up,
There is a significant scroll on the
walls Of the Nebraskan's chart-room,
for the guidance OF her officers, and
which is applicable to all concerned in
this pleasing venture, 1t reads BE
Sure You're Right, Then Go Ahead.
And that is what Astoria Is going to
do in this important premise, the
quality Of being right consisting in
having enough cargo for this fine
line wherever one of their splendid
ships comes in here; the rest Is easy.
In their effort to do away with
pilotage charges il is said the ships
Of the Hawaiian-American Company
may in future come into the port Of
Astoria without a pilot on board
II. w. Rogers, representative of
Cook & Son, Of Seattle, agents for
the steamship company, said yester-
day in conversation with local bust
ness men that he considered the plan
OF bringing in the ships without
pilot an entirely feasible one, "If it
can be done, we will certainly go
ahead and do it, he is reported as
saying, and there seems to be no
reason why we can't come in without
pilots"
1t is also said that as long as the .
pilotage charges remain as they now
are between here and Portland, that

line will never make the trip up the
river. The plan is to use the railway
from Astoria, and if any action is

DENVER, July Claiming VIC
tory on the first ballot but overlook
ing no possible chance to make his
triumph sure, followers OF Bryan
have been watching for any move on
the part Of his rivals that will compel
him to go single e-handed against the
field as Taft was obliged 10 do in or
der TO show his strength in the early
stages OF the Chicago convention.
The arrival OF the Governor Johnson
and Judge Gray representatives has
failed to develop any indication of
coalition between Bryan's opponents.
Gray's managers say they have no
such intention and the Johnson peo-
pie uttered the same disclaimer. The
attitude OF the Gray and Johnson men
has created considerable conjecture
on the vice-presidency. Bryan's ad-
herents profess that the refusal Of
Gray and Johnson men to combine
issues against Bryan shows that they
are not adverse to occupying posi-
ton where they can avail themselves
of the Bran votes for second place in
the event Of the latter's nomination.
The Johnson and Gray forces, how
ever, declare the Bryan people are
utterly wrong. Their men, they say,
are out for first place and are giving
no consideration to the vice -presi-
denc d, w, Lawler, mayor of St.
Paul, Mimi, and several other Mime
sotians arrived today L-awler, who
acetd as spokesman, expressed him
self strongly on the subject. He de-
clared Johnson would not take Sec
ond place and the democrats of Min
nesota would not let him take it even
II he was willing Lawler says John
son is too big man to be sidetrack-
ed into the vice-presidency He says
it is either president Of nothing for
Johnson. Lawler does not believe
there will be any nomination on the
first ballot. He says Johnson will
make good showing on the first
ballot and will gain steadily until
Johnson headquarters
are to be opened tomorrow. Judge
Gray's headquarters were in full
swing today under direction Of Josiah
Marvel Of Wilmington, and R. jill
Bemish Of Philadelphia. No definite |

long conference this afternoon be-

Springs, Va, next Wednesday with

committee. hope that this is suf-
hciently definite and that my state
ment will be accepted"
This was Taft's first day as a priv
ate citizen for many years. His
resignation as the secretary OF war
became effective last midnight and
for twelve hours the American gov
ernment today was without a secre-
tary Of war.
Prior to the formal induction into
Office OF General Luke f. Wright to-
day Mr.. Taft had a long consulta-
tion with him and with the officials
OF the department and about the de-
partmental affairs. General Wright

A Parliamentary Strataqenn.

1t was at an informal session,
after one Of the regular meetings
of a religious convention, that the
New Hampshire minister told some
of his best stories. F'There is one
man in our church," he said, "who
is as good as gold, but so long wind
ed that he tires everybody out.
cat one time it was suggested by
one of the deacons that in order to
avoid the extreme length of this
good mans remarks at prayer meet
ing we might make a five minute
limit.
''This I inaugurated at the next
meeting, and it was cheering to US
all to see that when the long winded
man rose to speak he held his open
watch in his left hand.
'When the limit was all but
reached he said, Finding, my dear
friends, that | have only a few Sec
ondS left in which to speak and
having much to say, | will throw
the rest of my remarks into the
form of a prayer.'"

INVITE A TEST.
Graham & Wells Ask Catarrf1
Sufferers to try Hyomei on
Their Guarantee.

Graham & Wells invite all who sufe
from any form of catarrhal troubles to gel
a Hyomei outfit from them with theil
absolute guarantee that if it does not give
perfect satisfaction, the money will be
refunded upon request.
There isl other treatment for catarrt
that in any way resem bles Hyomei, none
that eivessuch quick curative results and
lasting satisfaction, no medicine that ca
take its place, none that can be sod on, a
guarantee like this, 10 refund the
money unless lie cures
Catasrn is germ disease aud can be
cured only by breathing Hyomei, so that
the most remote air cells in the nose,
threat and lungs are reached by lis an
tiseptic healing powers. In :his way all
catarrhal germs are killed, the irritated
N ucous mem hrsne is healed and catarrh
is driven from the system.
This wonderful IL edicated air treatment
does not drug and derange the stomach,
but is breathed through a littls pocket
inhaler that goes with every dollar outfit.
The unusual way in which Graham &
Wells sell Hyomei attests their conf
dence in the remedy.

Not infreouently a farmer,
when told that he is following a
policy that is impoverishing the
land, will reply that he has had
to look our for himself, and pos
terity can do the same. This
spirit is shown in other occupa-
tions, but it is especially injuri-
rious to a farming community.
The man who is living a life that
is worth living is governed in his
action by a regard for the welfare
Of those who will follow him. 1t
should be the ambition of every
farmer to leave his farm better
one than it was when he obtained
it.-Ex.

His Opinion of Oregon.

That within the next 10 wears
practically the entire Willamette
valley will be devoted to intense
farming that dairying and the
cultivation of fruits will be the
chief occupation of the farmers
and that all the land which is not
absolutely level will be irrigated,
is the opinion of A. F. Hit, of
Weiser, Idaho, special fl Id agen;
OF the bureau of statistics of this
United States department of agri
culture, who is at the Imperial
hotel, says Wednesdays Journal.
From indications gathered dur
ing his travels Mr.. Hit believes
the evolution of this great trac,
of lard has already begun.

Commenting editorially upon the de-
eirability of ests blishipe fruit canneries
in tie Willamette Valley. the Journal
says in the closing paragraph: "But best
of all, the csnnerv saves an immense
value to the orchardist of inferior fruit
that would otherwise be lost. 1t turns
into cash huge total that would other
wise go to waste. With cannsry every
thing about the orchard or garden is
turned into value, as a by.product or
otherwise. 1t markets what is otherwise
unmar ketable and saves what lie other
wise unsavable. It stimulates the cult.
vation of small tracts and is most vital.

would, if pushed to its possibilities, save
Oregon the shame of being an importer
of canned goods and give her fame as
exporter of the best canned goods in the

ELEPHANT TRAVEL.
An Uncomfortable and Perilous Trip
In howCah

| tu 4 EIOWSafs
| There were two elephants at ou1
disposal, and myself and the in.
terpreter rode the first, each oc-
cupying half of the howdah. The
howdah has a peculiar and objec-
tionable habit of nearly succeeding
in cutting your legs in two::e> If you
hang your legs outside you may pad
the edge as much as you like, but if
you are new to the game you will
wake in about half an hour from
an uneasy doze with the painful
conviction that the lower halves of
your legs have dropped off
On squirming up into a position
from which you can view the out
side world YOU will see they are still
dangling there, but with an ire
sponsibility which suggests that
they have been frayed through to
the last shred. Abnormal efforts al
low you to drag them safely inside,
and you think it will be better in
future to keep them there.
The elephant is almost as fine
vehicle to see the surrounding coun-
try from as London bus, and there
is a considerable element of excite
ment in his progression. The ele-
phant l rode had fatal habit when
it came to river bank or bit of
rough ground of looking around and
picking out what seemed the worst
bit he could see.
Down one side Of a river it SEEM
ed as if he was engaged in trying to
stand on his head, and l could look
out of the howdah, although 1 was
lying therein, and observe the fishes
darting over the stones in the wa
ter just under my lords noble fore
head. More than once on these Jour
neys the beast would patiently
slouch through the trees and bush
es off the track in search of some
thing edible quite regardless of the
fact that the branches threatened to
sweep howdah and everything else
over the stern. =
s But one OF the most peculiar.
sensations was when they took it
into their heads to have a scratch
against the telegraph poles. 1t |
would be a wonderful line which |
could withstand the solid work the
elephant expects its posts to carry
out, and when the No. 2 beast lean
ed too hard and the post snapped I
could almost see the mild and some
what indignant surprise reflected
from one intelligent face to the
