WAKING UP AT LAST.
For two years the Astorian, in al
most every daily edition, has sought
to irons Portland to the importance
of looking after the control of the
0. R. & X. road. Files of the As
torian show repotted warnings to
the business men of Astoria, Port-
land and Oregon that the policy
which ccntrchicd the O. R. & X.
: was inimical u Portland and to
Oregon. Loog before the last ses
sion of the Oregon legislature, the
Oregonian was appealed to for help
by the Astorian in procuring such
preliminary legislation as would
amonnt to a notice to the railroad
combination that the advantage of
the O. R & X.'s water level route
to the sea must be reserved at all
times and under all conditions for
the benefit of Oregon and her sea
ports. The Oregonian hooted at the ef
forts of the Astorian. The pur
poses of the Astorian were misrepre
sented and its editor personally vili
fied for his earnest endeavors to
arouse public sentiment to the
gravity of the situation. The editor
of the Oregonian knew then as well
as he knows now that the Astorian
was right, but through some re
straining influence he was not free
to express his own honest convic
tions in his paper. Whether the
editor of the Oregonian lnped that
the situation . would resolve itself,
through the contemplated changes
in the O. R. & X.'s ownership and
management, more favorably to
Oregon and Portland, or whether
the peculiar policy he pursued in
the face of the then existing condi
tion and the approaching crisis:
which he was in a position to un
derstand much better than the Asto
rian, was dictated out of other and
less honorable considerations, the
Astorian does not know.
The fact remains, and the whole
Northwest will soon be apprised of
it by the chang; which must and
will come in the attitude of the
Oregonian, that the Astorian was
right from the beginning and that
the strange course of Portland's
paper has cost the producers and
business'men of Oregon millions of
dollars and afforded the commercial
enemies and rivals of Oregon the
required opportunity to mature
their plans and set up combinations
gainst Portland and the Columbia
river which may require years to
overthrow.

don the Columbia river route the
natural gateway, as Thomas Benton
more than half a century ago
phrased it to the Orient. The evi
dent design is to use the O.R.AN.'s,
low grades to carry the wheat to
Portland, where buyers will get the
advantage of an inland market price.
and the transportation companies
the additional toll on such quanti
ties as they can manipulate for ex
port at Saa Francisco, but Portland
will be sidetracked and treated as a
mere way station on the transconti
nental line to the Orient.
The Astorian docs not need to
point out to the Oregonian the
remedy for this situation. That
paper knows well enough that the
mere threat to take the question of
the O. R. & X.'s traffic agreements
to Jie legislature if, property backed
Dy Portland, would procure in in
stant reversal of the Union Pacific's
poucy. If that great system pro
poses to utilize the benefits of the
0. R. & X.'s low grade in its trans
continental business, it wants to be
made to understand that it shall use
the O. R. & X. road onT for Ore

advantage could be asked in an
open field and on the natural basis of

CAPE TOWN. Oct. ll.A dispatch
from M a f eking, says: .
No alvm was raised last night al
though every preparation for defense
was made. The excitement was In
creased by news that . the telejraph
wires had been cut. It was found that
the breaking of the wire was due to the
fighting top of the armored train which
had not been lowered. The telegraph
staff ty hard work, restored communi
cation early this morning.
The strength of General Cronje's Boer
foroe. which threatens Maftklng, Is es-
timaled at 4,000. It appears not to be
the Intension of the Boers to attack.
A uuiunayo d.-spath reports that
the town is dull owing to the departure
of the troops. Buglnom Is at a stand
still. Tne utmost effort Is being made
to keep the mines working. The rail-
way continues uninterrupted. Splendid
rains have again fallen.
