Cocoa Fudge.

You can make most Judges with cocoa,
but care must be taken not to beat too
much. because If too thin they cannot be
poured into a pan nor will they be glossy
on top.
Put into a granite saucepan three level
ia bles poonfuls butter one-half cup milk
two and one-half cups powdered sugar a
pinch of salt and six level tablespoontuls
cocoa. Cook, stirring constantly until it
commences to boil; then push back on
the fire and stir occasionally for ten min
utes. or until a little dropped into cold
water makes a firm ball. Add teaspoon
full vanilla. beat until like thickened mo-
lasses. pour into a buttered pan, and when
firm cut into squares.
Vassar Fudge.
To make the plain Vassar fudge add to
two cups white graduated or soft brown
sugar one cupful thick cream Put this
over the fire. and when it gets hot add

New neck ruffs for spring are no
less fascinating than the pretty fluffy
fur accessories we have been wearing
all winter, and, of course, the latest
models have the additional merit OF
being far less expensive, for net, tulle
and gauzy ribbons. of which they are
made. are much cheaper than fur and
velvet.
None of the newest styles seems diff
cult for deft fingers to make at home,
and it goes without saying that If con-
structed during ones leisure time they
will cost about half as much as those
seen in shops.
One Of the prettiest was in DUH

of course, it could be carried out in any
color.
1t was simple, for wide ribbon

ported two outstanding frills and two
facing downward, of plain black
Brussels net.
This folded band was held down at
intervals with disks formed from dull
black soutache braid. and stiff look
ing rosette of ribbon supporting snort
ends formed a finish in the back.
To make such a ruff two strips of net
will be necessary. The first may meas

pending upon the length OF the wear

one-half inches less in width than the
first
Both should be box pleated through
the center and sewed to the foundation,
which should be a strip of something
fairly stiff. The ribbons should
be set on over the stitches that
created the box pleats and the back OF
the foundation should be covered with
a strip of chiffon shirred or folded. This
is much softer and nicer than ribbon.
Ruff Looks Like Lamp Shade.
Another novelty suiting long neck
is a ruff that looks like a small lamp
shade, for it is made with four over
tapping frills pointing downward and
single thick ruching facing upward.

who do not drink at all; it is very
general, and includes the great host
OF drinkers Of all degrees. The con-
viction seems to be gaining ground
that liquor lies behind, beneath and
in intimate relation to. the adverse
conditions OF business and society
generally, and that it is fast under
mining every circumstance and bear
ling upon which we rely for existance,
happiness and progress, with the re-
suit that genuine fear is at last alive,
and men who think at all, are cogni-
zant of national civic peril and
ready to meet the situation with any
sacrifice that will remedy or save it.
Men Of all classes, drinkers and
.non-drinkers, are unifying daily on
all the expedients such as local op-
ton, prohibition, temperance move
ments and restrictive policies; men
who for years have scoffed at them
all and laughed them down, are today
giving serious and wholesome atten-
ton to the pleas, in all sections of
the country. There is no gainsaying
cause nor effect nor remedy, they are
plain and monumental facts and their
recognition is one of the healthful
signs of the times; just as are the ap-
paling ranges OF crime, insanity, di-
'vorce, moral degeneracy. illiteracy
and the abnormal advance Of the un-
fit to place and power.
From every quarter of the land
comes the same story Of awakening;
of salutary conviction and wide
spread effort at redemption. Astoria
will give her testimony in the start

safer plane to move upon than liquor
inspires or begets, and it viii be

TAFT AND REVISION.

President-elect Taft is already up
against the thorns that beset the ma
tional chief executive. He is pleading
against Misrepresentation already,
on the score OF his attitude with re-
gard TO tariff revision, although the
country was supposed to know from
his plain utterances on the vital sub
iect, that he stood for an early and
rational oyerhauling of the system,
and its quickest dispatch in the inter
ests Of business all over the country
We believe that his proposal to put
the matter into the hands Of a COM
mission with wide and final powers;
such as the interstate Commerce
Commission is charged with, is the
safest and quickest way out Of one
Of the greatest and grayest muddles
our people can invoke.

the issues from politics; it will take
it out Of the hands Of Congress,

double-dealing, and give that body

AsToR1A'S OWN YEAR

Quiet as the times seem at this, the
opening of the year 1909, it is believ-
ed to be peculiarly propitious for AS
toria, Clatsop county, and the mouth
of the Columbia river: that the close
of 1909 will find this entire section
well launched on tide of actual and
significant work and business that
win contribute largely TO successful
future.
With the Hartman projects now
fairly defined west Of Portland, in
this and Tillamook, counties; with the
electric system, in and out Of this
city, brought to a pass where the
money itself is the next step toward
the practical development Of the en-
terprise and every pledge at hand that
money is but waiting the final ac-
ton of the City of Astoria, and that
action due in few days; with the
assurance from headquarters that the
Astoria & Columbia River road is to
be heavily reinforced as TO road-bed
and rails, and new and fine train SER
vice to be added; with plenty of mon
ey to advance the jetty work, and
plenty more for dredging the Colum-
bia bar and making a fat demonstra-
ton in favor Of this export and i'm.
port avenue; with lumber beginning
to move Eastward again, all idle
plants opening up over the North
west and the Astoria mills already
running steadily and heavily and the
Hammond mills to be practically
doubled in efficiency and output; with
the fisheries at a point where they
may be better handled through what
promises to be banner season, it
really looks as if this is to be AS
toria's own year.
' Upon such predicate as this, it
does seem as though we might
rise to the promise and make the best
of it all. We certainly have no right
to grumble and crouch and, so far
as the popular sentiment can be as
certained, no disposition to. We seem
to be moving, for once, in an orbit Of
our own. free from the hampering in
Auences that have impeded and dis
couraged us in the past; and it will
be strange and unfortunate thing if
we do not turn these good things to
some account for city, county and
port.

receive the best rsults for the amount
expended; and, il we haven't money
enough to do it right, let US go down
in our pockets and furnish it for the
next few years and for once do it |
right, and then see if the results will
not be far different than we have ac-
complished in the past ten years since
we first passed the license and hatch
cry laws in 1893. As fishermen and
Gamers, we can not idly sit down af-
ter having paid our annual license
fees and trust to God for results; we
will get the results when we work for
them, together, and not before, and
We will get better results when the
officers appointed know we are look

what is accomplished with it, for ev-
cry man in the business today knows
that we have spent over three hun
dred thousand dollars Of license and
tax payers money in this state, and he
would be ashamed if he had spent his
own, to report what little he had ac-

gagged in the salmon industry, take
more interest in the business than
we do we art not entitled TO anything
better.

ward undertaken by any tariff bill
ever presented to the American Con-
gress.
You can count on the fingers of one
hand in the chemical schedule the in
creases, if you leave out luxuries,
while there is whole page of de-
creases, and among them the great
chemical -sulphate of ammonia, which
is put upon the free list, various forms
of lead, various forms of potash
those chemicals that enter into manu-
facture and into the consumption of
our people.
And then take the iron and steel
schedule. We begin by making a re-
duction from 40 cents to IS cents a
ton in the duty upon iron ore, which
lies at the basis of all manufactures
of iron and steel. We reduce the duty
upon pig iron, which is used by so
many industries, from $4 to $3.50
ton. We reduce the duty on scrap
iron from 81 to 81 a ton. We cut in
two the duty on steel rails. The steel
schedule presents a reduction which
amounts practically to cutting it in
two. Yet we have adjusted these cuts
to the conditions of the industry, and
we believe that they will not result in
harming any part of this country. The
duty upon coal is cut 50 per cent. The
duty upon petroleum and its products
is removed altogether.
And so it is throughout the whole
bill. Take the duty upon hides. They
have been upon the free list ever since
we have been nation, with the excep-
ton of two or three intervals, and this
bill places them there again We do
not believe that it will in any way
affect the cattle-growing industry in
this country; but the removal of the /
duty is far more than compensated for |
by the radical cuts made in leather, in |
boots and shoes, in harness and sad |
dlery. In these paragraphs the duties
are practically cut in two.

| would attempt to bring about re-
vision of the tariff downward upon the
lines of protection. That policy be-
yond question is reflected in this bill.
It is great government measure. 1t

Congress. It is measure the passage

President. It is the first great policy

would be most damaging to him, it
would be most damaging to the cause
of revision of the tariff, either up or,
down, if enough Republicans with
held their votes from this measure to
defeat it. It would, at the threshold of
his administration, subject him to a
damaging repulse, and it would keep
alive agitation; it would keep uncer-
tainty hanging over business.
My friend from Illinois (Mr. Mann)
does not want this report to be ac-
cepted because he thinks that the cut
on print paper from Sc and So ton to
$3.75 ton is not sufficiently drastic.
On the other hand, the gentlemen who
represent the great paper-producing
districts of the country believe that
cut even to $3.75 will produce disaster.
This is only an illustration of the diff
fculties we shall face. We will have
many conflicting views of this kind.
If this report is thrown open, the gen
tleman from Illinois will probably not
see his views prevail, and the gentle
man from New York (Mr. Malby)
may not see his views prevail. It in
a tariff bill applying to some 1000
articles every duty must first be ad-
justed to please everybody, or, indeed,
anybody, we should never have legisla-
ton. From necessity such bill in
wolves compromises. Some of the
provisions of this bill, standing alone.
should vote against. But as whole
believe it righteous measure, and
as such it will have my vote. We will
have a conflict of forces, we will have
disintegration and chaos, if the report
is voted down; and in the interests OF
good legislation, and to put upon the
statute books what I believe is, upon
the whole, as good tariff law as was
ever passed by the American Con-
gress, I appeal to the Members upon
this side of the Chamber to give their
votes in favor of the report. Gap
