Women Who Watch For Celebrities In
New York Restaurant.

what satisfaction the women get out
OF life who flock to a certain fashion
able uptown restaurant at lunchtime
just to see celebrities.
They look as II they cannot afford
to be there, and the truth is they do
not apparently so there for food. !
have watched them ordering and
noted what was brought them, and al
most invariably it is some such thing
as cafe parfait. or an Ice of some kind,
or cup Of tea or of chocolate and a
sandwich.
They sit and look. The moment somo
stage celebrity comes In there Is a
craning of necks. and you hear excited
whisperings. oh, there's So-and- y
mentioning an actress or a matinee
idol. and the neck craning keeps on
until fresh subject for scrutiny comes
In.
You can see this sort of thing every
lunchtime at this restaurant. There Is
regular contingent OF these rubber
neckers, and they are not visitors from
the far west, either."-New York Sun,

Professor William Il. Smith, Princi
pal OF the Royal Institute of Public
Health, of London, says the giving OF
wedding presents is moral. This
would seem to be putting it somewhat
too strongly, but certainly the custom
has long since become an expensive
and burdensome nuisance, says the
Virginia Pilot. Who shall say. how

Teddy Hit Hard.

The refusal of the Republican com

OF the coming convention in that state
is the second jolt the great American
lion hunter has received from his

He was rejected in favor of Vice Pres
ident Sherman, one OF the most pro
nounced standpatters in the state, and
his defeat has provoked him into 9

1t is very apparent that the con
tributing editor is not as powerful q
factor in New York politics as he be
lieves himself to be. His ill-advised
friends no doubt thought that all that
was necessary to land the temporary

with the mention OF HIS name an as.
surance that he -woJId accept. Mr.
Griscom now realizes how far wrong

be made, and that harmony in the Re-
publican party of New York state will

deed to former resident, who set
tied in your county 40 years ago
and has spent the greater portion
OF his life among its evergreen hills,
to note the fact that the good citizens
OF Lincoln county are getting alive
to their interests more than ever be-
fore, and are going to put Lincoln
county where it Justly belongs,
among the front ranks of Oregon s
81 counties. And why not? 1t
has a natural harbor second only to
the Columbia river, and one tenth
of the money spent for that splendid
harbor at the mouth of one of the
greatest rivers in America, or one
tenth OF the amount that has been
spent on the sand bars between
Portland and Astoria, would make
a harbor at Yaquina 35 feet deep.
You have many natural resources
and equal to any of Oregon's star
counties. Neither the Rogue,
Umpqua or the Hood River valleys
can lead you in the production of
apples if you will only put in the
area and quality and cultivate them
as they do in these great apple
producing valleys.
From the last issue of the LEADER
! gather the idea that you are to
have two port commissions, one
composed of territory lying below
Oysterville, and the other composed
OF territory lying between Oyster
vile and Elk City. AT the first
glance one would think this very
unwise, as house divided against
itself must fall, but when one con-
siders the fact that the two projects
are OF very different nature it
throws different light on the sub
1oct. The port of Newport, | sup
] Sc, is to be formed for the pur-
pose OF improving and to deepen
the harbor at the mouth of the bay.
and the port OF Toledo, | infer, is
to be formed to remove the sand
bars in the bay and river between
Oysterville and Elk City. The one
will have to be done by a jetty
system, and the other by dredging.
Therefore the Newport district will
be taxed to deepen the harbor at
the mouth OF the bay, and the To-
ledo port to remove the sand bars
in the bay and river. While the
cost might be less to maintain one
commission, yet as the two pro-
jects are different in character. it is
probably as well to form two com.
missions and there will be no con.
tention as to how the money is
spent, and it will probably please
the people better to thus form two
ports.
From the columns Of the LEADEE
j also CLEAN the fact that the rail.
road interests are opposing the form.
ing OF any port commission. This
is only to be expected. The rail.
road interests have always opposed
any Improvements or appropriations
for Yaquina bay harbor. 1t was
