"The road will be built," is what the majority of the state newspapers say. And it will sure. Even the doubting Thomases will drop on this little fact after a while. And it is not only for Astoria's interest, but in the interest of the whole state that it should be. In the current number of the North American Review, a writer on Alaska says the timber resources of that ter ritory are boundless, and that Alaska would yield 57,000,000 feet of fine lum ber.

For assured prosperity more is needed than high real estate prices and transfers of realty. Houses bnilt, manufactures encouraged, property placed in the market, and encourage ment to would be investors, are among the nrime requirements.

Forbearance sometimes ceases to be a virtue, and it U, often, hard for a newspaper man to restrain himself, but, after all, it is better all around, better for the city, better for the individual, better for the dignity of the profession, to refrain from per sonal or insulting rejoinder. Our friend Jones and Flagg would do better to make their papers vehicles of pleasant news, mediums of aid for the community than to wast time and space and effort iu sayiug mean tilings ulxmt each other. We speak from experience, aud while in variably emerging victorious, have never yet got through with a personal quarrel with another newspaper with out a loss of self lespect that didn't make up fur tlte questionable triumph.

Her father, Dr. Orrin Root, had an office in the Yesler building.
