THE CASE FOR CUBA.
that the time will come when the enterprising ioople
of Astoria will be convened that the only way to ad
vertise the resources of Astoria and Clatsop county is
through the local pnjH'rs. There is not a man or cap
italist in the Kast who contemplates coming West,
that does not send for a copy of a local newspaper. A
newspaper publishes facts as they real I v exist, while
an advertising pamphlet publishes a great many
things that do not exist. Local newspapers are ex
pected to boom the town, but when it comes to adver
tising it, those who have the matter in chargo over
look the newspaper like a white check.
Seattle was advertised all through the Kast through
its newspapers. Every hotel in the Kast always had
a copy of a Seattle paper. An Oregon paper is never
seen unless it is one sent home to relatives. If a copy
of the Astoria newspapers were sent to all the leading
hotels, people would soon find out that there was such
a town in Oregon, and that Oregon was a component
part and legal subdivision of the United States, and
Astoria was in it.
It takes time to educate the jeople up to these
things, but the people of Seattle know how it is done

CONCKUNING PANAMA.
t ... ... i 1 t - : . . i : i ? a
The President has expressed himself so fullv on the 11 11 mu WT " T" MT 1"""
subject of reciprocity with Cuba that little was left for . l" a u,p ,M",m,!' ,u 1 "mim!l wouu' Im" nwm
him to do in his me'ssage t. congress except to travel ! I1UU'11 to. the averago American as has the

but some bananas and a very little mahogany.
The area of the Republic of Panama is o 1 ,57 1 square
miles, which makes it a little more than half as large
over the out grouml. lie says again inai uie icg
tion which he approves is demandul not only by our
interest but by our honor; that owing to the Piatt
amendment we must consider that Cuba occupies a
unique porition as regards this country which gives
her special claims upon us: that she is loyally observ
ing her obligations to us; that a failure to enact the
desired legislation "would come perilously near a re
pudiation of the pledged faith of the nation."
Such testimony on the point of honor is proof
as Illinois. Its population is currently placed at
l!S5,(KK, but if one seeks the source of the figures he
will trace them to an "official estimate" of I SS I , which
has apparently done service ever since. Similarly the
City of Panama has had "X0,(XXV jopuiation ever

Cuba by promises that have not been kept, and if they
are not kept now the country will be placed in a
shameful position before the world. But the Presi
dent appeals also to another sense besides the sense of
honor. He speaks of our military and economic in
terests in the waters south of us, which "have been
largely increased by the consequence of the war with
Spain, and will be still further increased by the build
ing of the isthmian canal." Cuba, with her Ameri
can naval stations and her commerce, contributes to
these interests, and by reciprocity we should gain as
much economically as we give, since it will enable us
to secure the Cuban market for our farmers, artisans,
merchants and manufacturers.
A few figures may possibly add some force to this
contention. The exports from the United States to
Cuba in 1902 amounted to 2o.l millions, the total of
Cuban imports being about t2 millions. These ex
ports embraced a great variety of manufactures, food
stuffs and raw materials, and the treaty provides for
tariff concessions by Cuba ranging from 2" to 40 per
cent. It will be seen, therefore, that with such en
couragement we should get considerable more of the
62 millions of business and make foreign competition
exceedingly difficult.
Furthermore, to show that we are really driving a
hard bargain, one could point to the fact that Cuba is
to receive concessions of only 20 per cent from us on
her exports to this country, including the sugar, over
which there has been so much discussion. To indicate
how slight the concession is we may take the data
furnished by a correspondent of the New York Even
ing Post, who describes the market as it was when he
visited the island in 1902. The producer received 1.6
cent per pound for clean sugar in bags, "and this had
to meet our full duty of 1.68 cent besides freight
and charges.'" At 20 per cent of the protection would
still amount to a relatively large figure, which is very
far from suggesting a ruinous generosity toward com
petitors. Chicago Record-Herald.
AN EXTRA SESSION PR
There is little doubt but that a special session of
the state legislature will be convened by Governor
Chamberlain. With the exception of probably three
counties, the interests of every county in the state de
mand an extra session that the defect in the tax law
may be remedied. Even the counties that would not
suffer from a failure to collect a tax levy on the 1903
roll, recognizing the condition of the great majority
of the other counties in the state, nnite in petitioning
the governor in the best interests of the state to call
the legislature together in extraordinary session.
While the sentiment throughout the state generally
favors legislation n the tax law alone and a
brief session, a majority of the members of the two
legislative bodies decline to pledge themselves to
consider only remedial tax legislation, reserving the
right to transact such other business as the best inter
ests of the entire state may require. It may be relia
bly predicted that the session will be brief.
OREGON NEEDS ADVERTISING.
Governor Chamberlain who has recently returned
from the East, Bays that Oregon is not advertised in
the East. That is certainly strange. If our memory
serves us right, there have been thousands of little
pamphlets gotten out in Astoria advertising our grand
resources in the east. It is probable that they don't
get any farther than Portland, and again it may be
that Eastern people don't regard them as advertising.
There is only one way to advertise a city, and that is
through the newspapers. Money spent on pamphlets
The Panama railroad is, industrially npraking, the
"whole thing" in Panama. In liMM) the road trans
ported 1M,758 tons of goods westward, of which
amount 60,518 tons came from New York, 54,905 from
Europe, while the remainder was local traffic. The
weight carried eastward was 20'', 61!) tons, of which
118,670 was to New York, 77,215 was to Europe, and
the rest was local traffic. The number of vessels that
entered the ports of Panama, Colon, Santa Maria and
Cartagena in 187 was !'23, of 1,213,110 tons, and the
number cleared was 919, of 1,210,629 tons.
Off the line of the road an adventurer finds himself
almost at once in the unbroken jungle. There are
practically no roads worthy of the name. One-mule
trails are found here and there, and a few portions of
an old paved road across the isthmus, built by the
Spanish in 1514, still remain.
A large part of the population lives on rice. It is
significant of the country's industrial stage that, al
though the isthmus contains thousands of acres of
idsal rice lands, practically all the rice consumed is
imported. Exchange.

Portland has a mail carrier who employs an outo
mobile in making his daily collections. Since it fre
quently requires two days for a letter mailed in this
city to reach its destination in Portland, it is suggested
that these same vehicles might be employed in dis

Oregon leads the world in big apples, big babies,
big hogs and big farms, and now the biggest meteor
ever discovered in the United States has been discov
ered near Oregon City. It weighs between 20,000 and
40,000 pounds and is composed entirely of iron and
nickel, probably nine or ten parts being iron. Yam
hill County Reporter.
If guilty, Robert Gardner, who is charged with the
crime of mayhem, is entitled to no sympathy. He is
charged with assaulting a defenseless Indian woman,
whose remaining useful eye he gouged out with his
hand, leaving the woman entirely b'ind. Gardner's
past record is such that it will not invite lenient con
sideration at the hands of the jury and the trial
court.
Permanent organization of the Oregon City Board
of Trade, which was recently re-resurrected in this
city, has not yet taken place. The disposition of a
majority of those who should be the most inter
ested in the plan and work of the board, in leaving
to a few the work of perfecting the details of the or
ganization, is not the proper spirit to show. There is
need forimmediate work in Oregon City by some
such a society, and there should be not the slightest
delay in placing the board on a working basis.
