TURN OF THE TIDE.

We believe the tide of activity and
commercial interest has turned tor
this city. county and section; there
are signs abroad that warrant the
conclusion, and among people and at
points that confirm it strongly. What
Of lassitude and indifference has
marked local conditions here for a
long while, seem to be falling away
before the practical work Of improve
ment. extension, and betterment on
All sides. especially in the industrial
centers. and the larger ones at that.
For example, the Hammond interests
are doubling the capacity OF their
fne plant at the Tongue and putting
the mills upon basis of half-million
feet per day; the Astoria Box Comp
any has erected additional storage
capacity at their Uppertown plant
for one and half millions feet; the
Associated Oil Companies are doub'
ling their tankage in this port; the
Government is building heavily and
rapidly at Fort Stevens, with view
TO tripling the strength of the post;
the Astoria Electric Company has
frankly announced a splendid pro-
gram Of extension and amendment
ana is committed to an expenditure
Of $4,000, as an inside figure which
will in all likelihood be doubled be-
fort they are through; the Astoria
& Columbia River Railroad Company
has launched a series of road i'm
provements that are peculiarly sug-
Restive, at many points along the
line: the Astoria, Seaside & Tilla-
nook Electric line is declared to be
in a fair way for successful negotia'
ton: the business of the banks
throughout the city is undeniably in
creasing; and the general tone o.
business is Of pronouncedly cheer
ful sort. These are but a few Of the
things that are moving US toward th'
better plane, and they are ample tc
give the solder and brighter cue tc
every man who wants comfortable
''hunch".
Astoria is better and more widely
known today than ever in her hist
ory. and once the 'common-point
rate on grain is extended to thi'
port, the hour of her redemption anC
progress will be at hand. The 0. R
& N. and all its associated influence
at Portland are working nightly t.
defeat this great and essential thing
and by every artihce at the end o
their consumately trained hands; bu
it will do them no good; the ends o
Justice will be served in the outcom

ENOES BIRTHDAY IS.
TAKEN NOTE Or
SOME INTERESTING DETAILS
OF THE PREMIER SEeRE'
TARY'S LIFE AND HOME

WASHINGTON d, C. May O.
Philander c, Knox Secretary OF State
was reminded of his birthday when
he arrived at his office this morning
and found great bunch OF roses on
his desk, During the day he was
busy receiving congratulations from
his colleagues Of the cabinet, the sub
ordinate officials OF the Department
OF State, the members of the diplo-
matte corps who chaueed to call, and
Senator's Representatives and scores
Of other public officials among whom
the Secretary OF State is deservedly
popular
Although he has now reached his
6fty'sixth year, Secretary Knox looks
scarcely a day older than he did upon
his first appearance in Washington
in 1901 to take up his duties as At
torney General in the cabinet OF
President Mckinley, He was then
comparatively unknown, except in
the legal profession, outside OF
Western Pennsylvania. Today he is
one OF the best known men in the
United States, and in ability is re
garded generally as measuring up to
the very high standard set by James
G. Blaine, John Sherman John Hay,
Elihu Root and others who have held
the portfolio OF State in recent years,
The Secretary Of State is tircless
worker. though no man enjoys the
pleasures OF life more than he 1t is
no uncommon thing for him to ap-
pear at his Office bfeore any Of his
subordinates in the morning 1t is
his habit TO examine personally every
important document letter Of refer
ence that concerns the affairs OF his
department. This has developed a
rare faculty OF seli-coutrol which in
vades the domain of sleep. Day or
night the Secretary Of State can
awaken at any hour, or at the end OF
any period Of time which he may
have determined He can take a
hali-hour nap and waken himself on
the minute In Washington the
early-rising habit is feature of his
daily life. He is usually up at {
O'Clock and breakfasts with his fam
lily at 8. Then comes a romp with
his little grandson, who is the apple
of his eye, followed by an hour:

fonder of fast horses. He loves tc
hunt and. fish and play golf, and h
is to be seen frequently on the link
with President Taft.
Mr.. Knox has never cared for so

dence in Washington he has bowet
