A railway U a simple tool or piece of machinery. If not used by community' It cannot bring profit to the community '.. any more than a piece of agricultural machinery left rusting in the field. J Aatorla has a railway. Ita inception waa attended with much difficulty and ita completion with many fond hopes.' It is not the business of the railway J to buy wheat or other products, but' merely to carry thm for the buyers.! There are no wheat buyers in Astoria; therefore no wheat is coming here, j It has been claimed that the present : cost of bringing wheat from Portland to Astoria on the outward bound Toy-' age is a large amount It is asserted that Mr. Hammond's charge for the1 haul by rail would not be so large. It Is insisted that it would be more prof itable to pay Hammond his price and ablp wheat fmm Astoria. Cut who has tested this proposition? Astorians have' not had sufficient faith in their own claims to put their money into the ex- 1 i periment. How can outsiders be ex-; pected to do so? The failure to secure' a common point rate for Astoria mere- j ly requires the payment of Hammond's charge from the Portland common 1 point to Astoria. Why doesn't As-1 t toria make the attempt to ship wheat under such conditions? The risk of money for each one would be small. What is Just now needed to prove the truth of the As.orlan proposition is a "common pull" rather than a "common point" Five per cent of the Income of a couple of hundred of Astoria's citi zens would operate a shipping company for a few years, or until the project of hipping wheat from Astoria can be thoroughly tested. If the money be ' lost, none would be badly hurt. In j view of the promising years ahead, it' can hardly be a Serious matter to I make such a test now. No better time ' could be selected for the effort. Let ! somebody head such a movement. It' may be surprising to see how easy it' will go. THE ULTIMATE LAND. NATL' UK'S OCEAN PIER With the enormous cheapening of i railway transportation, it has come to. be axlomutlc that th railway Btka' the ultimate land. Settle Post-Intel-; lifieucer. I While Paciflc toast papers have! been staling this proposition, the At lantic coast Vanderbilts have been' executing It. Gradually ihy have' .been gaining a hold on the transporta-' tjon routes to the ultimate first-class port of Boston. Their Hoston & Al bany route has not be-n suffli limt. The latest move has been to secure the Fiichburir route, which include the forn.er Iloston, Hoosatk Tunnel and Western road. Roth th-se roads paes through the famous Hoosa'.k tunnel, by a low grade mute. The Ronton, Hoosack Tunnel and Western Hallway was built in UTS-61 by Boston capital. Postmaster Eurt, Frederick L. Ams, and other proml-' nent men were connected with the en- terprise. For many years the New; York Central antagonized this line; j now the value of a port on the "ultf-' mate land" and of a low grade route' thereto Is being recognized by these' The rumor of a Vanderbllt combina tion, controlling one vast transconti nental system from ocean to ocean, tinder the same management, is again rife In railway circles. Such a system, . if ever organized, can have but one outlet on the Pacific. The struggle be twn the Northern and Great North cm for terminals at Seattle proves that these mighty aggregations of cap ital realize what is In the wind. They are hastening to prepare themselves as beat each can for the contact soon to take place over the Oriental com merce It la Impossible that the Van- derhllt system can seek terminals on the Sound. It Is just aa unreasonable to aMume that it will look to 8 an Francisco. From what point, then, will these giants cat their lance for the rapture of the richest stream Of traffic that has ever yet struck the American continent? Bui it will not do for Astoria to wait the alow movement of the rail road plan. The Oriental commerce is a potentiality. The fight for Which these mighty transportation line are nerving themselves may be many years distant. Let Astorians bestir themselves for the actuality which the present offers. If reports are to be relied upon, but one link in the Van dcrbllt system yet remains unacquired. This link will not be needed until tbe full dawn of the Asiatic commercial era. Let the people of Astoria organ ise but a small wheat shipping business at the mouth of the Columbia and the Immediate value of their port will be recognised. Boston has been gaining an Increased percentage of the out bound wheat for several years past. but It haa been due to the active ef forts of Boston people. The Vander- bllts only went to Boston because the wheat wanted to go there. Once started in that direction, however, even Greater New York haa not been able to stop an increasing quantity fmm seeking the "ultimate land" at that point. With active efforts on tbe part of Astoria's people the wheat of the Columbian basin might be made to follow the same principle. A man has to have pluck to make a sue ce of any calling. A man must hare the backbone to take knock down blows and get op again and again and fight on. Pluck and stamina are largely a question of good health. It only takes one knock down blow to finish a man with a headache. It only takes a small setback to disconcert a nervous and shaky man. A bilious, head achr man goes into bankruptcy at the first embarrassment A nenroos man who docs not sleep at night and gets np shaky in the morning gives np tbe battle of business at the irst discouragement Dr. Pierce'e Goldea Medical Discovery is the best of all health-makers and health-keepera. It makes pare, rich blood. It forces out all imparities and disease germa. It does not make any difference what the disease may be called, so long as it has Its inception in improper or insufficient nourishment this great medicine will cure it It may be called dyspepsia, kidney disease, "liver complaint" skin or blood disease, or nerv ous prostration all these have the same starting point The " Goldea Medicsl Dis covery" reaches that point It will cure these diseases absolutely. None of them can retain their hold on the system when the arteries are filled with rich,jute blood. -1 am y w old." writes Mr. F. G. Bledsoe, of UwTtlle. Henry Co..

Crippled by Rheumatism. Those who have Bheamatiam find themaelve growing steadily worse all the while.
