PORT OF ASTORIA.

Chairman Wingate, Of the commit
tee in charge Of the formulation OF
the Port of Astoria bill, originating
with the Astoria Chamber Of Com
merce, has, with commendable' frank
ness, told his colleagues Of the reason
this important measure has been al
lowed to lapse, namely, on the score
of the opposition of the local attor-
neys associated with him in the work,
to the framing and operation Of any
such bill whatever!.
Mr.. Wingate did the community a
distinct favor when he made this re-
port; he simply verified, honestly and
unequivocally, what has been well
known here for many day; that
there is interested and insiduous con
travention afoot in some of the larg
est matters Of public concern to AS
toria; that the home pride that should
stand for her development along all
lines, is given over to the extraneous
and battling agencies these men are re-

this conclusion, finally and inevitably
with the whirl of great CONNER
cial awakening in the Northwest she
may yet come in to her own through
the shrewdness OF some friendly
giant who realizes, at a glance, the
potent facilities she offers for bust
ness and advancement; this is her only
resource"
The foregoing is the substance OF
the talk put up by an ex-AstorIan
who still retains sharp interest IN the
city and county, and lately sojourning
here. He speaks sorrowfully, with
the honesty of resolute conviction
born OF thirty years OF disappoint-
ment.
And the thoughtful Astorian will do
the wisest thing OF his life if he takes
this old ex-citizens words for what
they are worth and weighs them in
the scale OF his own greater or lesser
experience. The time is ripe for a
genuine awakening in this mans
town. Hope is left us; and with this
and the undisturbed natural advan-
tages as eternal as that hope, we may
rise to a unified, direct and successful
program and field, that will annihi-
late such sad prophesies, deep found
ed and justifable as their prophet may
deem them.

called at the capitol to see the senator.

was In search of Voorhees,. In effect II
was that he was hard up" and voor-

needed the money badly and was there
to collect 1t. Bright thought the story

he said, "Give 1t all to my friend here,

Nature has provided the stomach
with certain natural fluids known
as the digestive juices, and it is
through these juices that the food
we eat is acted upon in such a way
as to produce the rich, red blood
that flows through the VEINS of our
body and thereby makes us strong,
healthy and robust and it is the
weakening of these digestive juices
that destroys health. 1t is our own
fault if we destroy our own health,
and. yet it is so easy tor any one to
put the stomach out of order. When
you need to take something take
it promptly, but'take something you
know is reliable something like
Kodol For Dyspepsia and lndiges-
ton. kodol is pleasant to take, it
is reliable and is guaranteed to give
relief. 1t is sold by j. M, Hodges.
