men on the programmes printed else
where than in this office, which, to
our thinking, was an insulting gratu-
ity altogether entitled to as much
publicity as shall be contained in this
editorial.
He had the best right in the world
to call off all business negotiations
with this Office, at any time; but IL
no time was he justified in advertising
the fact.
The Astorian claims to be the old
est and best, advertising medium in
this section of the country, having
figured here for nearly 36 years, and
serving from l,s00 to 1000 people
daily; condition of affairs against
which Mr. Hanlin may not plead
lack of service, either for the money
he paid US nor the passes he allowed
us, since we invariably far more than
met our stipulated engagements with
him.

Truth and
Quality

appeal to the Uniformed in every
walk Of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup Of Figs
and Elixir Of SIENNA is the only remedy Of
Known value, but one Of many reasons
why it is the best Of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
ne quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug
gists.

WING SHOTS.

1t does all hands of US good to mix
with friends from the outside. The
visit here of the half hundred educa-
tors from all over the State, last week
was a significant and wholesome ad-
vantage to every man and woman
who came in contact with them.
There was new infusion of interest
and specific concern that left its i'm
press, and which will add materially
to the premium we place upon the
school and the scholars, as well as
the teachers. And as it was in this
case, SO is it in all cases of mutual
contact and intercourse; we need to
get away from the deadly routine Of
our own selfish part in the program

cATHLAMETS ENTREE.

AT last the rich and live community
of Cathlamet is TO emerge from its
hermit-like remoteness and inertia.
A telephone line is to open it up to
the world Of commerce and general
interest, and it will feel the spur Of
active relation and inter-dependence
that should impel every community
to get in touch with the friendly
world about it. The river section needs
Cathlamet, and CathIamet needs every
town and city on the river, as a neigh.
Dor and auxiliary, in the building I'D
OF the country of which it is an in
teger. No place, with men, and
means, and resources for business and
progress can long remain detached
and silent; there must be quick and
clear contact with the impulses
swarming round about, to bring any
town within the pale of commercial
and current profit, as well
as social intercourse and Cathlamet IS
too important place to have longer
denied itself the access.

SENATOR PILES TALKS
ON LUMBER TARIFF
SPEECH OF WASHINGTON SEN.

TIoNAL CAPITOL,

| WASHINGTON, May S--A plea
against free lumber and a story OF
Oriental labor figuring in the differ

said, would be obliged to leave

forest, q total loss and a constant fire

In Washington, he pointed out,
lumber is the principal industry, EN-
ploying 10000 men with average an
nual wages exceeding $60000,o0o,
The Washington State Legislature,
commercial bodies. labor unions and
banking interests have urged the re-
tention Of the duty on lumber and
increased duty on shingles The diff,
ferences in the cost OF Stumpage in
British Columbia and in Washington,
he said, was about $3.50 per thousand
While the shingle industry had died
in Washington since 1905, its increase
in British Columbia has been phe-
nomenal.
There was, he said, material diff
ference in the cost Of labor, owing
principally to the use of upward oi
rs per cent OF Oriental labor in
British Columbia. Despite Oriental
labor mills Of equal capacity on both
sides, Of the boundary employ prac
tically the same number OF men
There was difference OF approx
mately 81 per thousand on water
freight rates to California ports, as
British Columbia can ship on foreign
vessels while Washington must use
American bottoms in the coastwise
trade. Logging also costs more on
his side 100 miles OF logging rail- |
road being necessary in Washington.

provinces and be detriment to bust

Piles declared that practically the

eduction are American owners OF

ppeal from the Washington forest

He exhibited an original proposed
contract Of sale that Canadian lumber

umers, in which they stipuiate that
me half of the reduction in duty shall
