The Atorian guaranteea to Itt ad vertisers the largest circulation of any newspaper published on the Columbia river. Advertising- rate! can be had on ap plication to the buslneea manager. The Astorian has always contended tliat Astoria could never .be developed against the opposition of Portland. It has always ben the Astorian's en deavor to obtain the cooperation of Portland in the utilisation of Astoria's undoubted advantages as the seaport of the Pacific Northwest as against any port on Puget sound. It has been repeatedly asserted by the Astorian that the people of Portland were like any other people, and that their preju dices against Astoria were born of fan cied self-interest and out due to feel ings of malice or sentimental concern over Astoria's possible rivalry us the metropolis of Oregon. Once convince Portland people that commerce cannot be held at Portland. Once convince them that the Columbia river is losing - trade and commerce in consequence of th. ...pmn. t maintain th. apnnort of : uregon at a po.ru iW miies in.anu ( from the ocean.

OPPOSED TO WHEELER. Southern Pacific Company Trying to Hnv? Chlpmnn Appointed on Inter state Commerce iVminisatan. The Southern Paelrto Company Is try. Ing hard to get Oen-nil N. P. Chlpman Into the Intel-state Commerce Commis sion. Within the past two or three days the activity of the hired men of the big corporation has Ixvn partlru laxly in evidence, says the San Fran Cisco Call. The newspaper orgiu cm trolled by It In the Interior, following out the tactics of ofTU-iol dwellers In the yellow "knockery." have begun a campaign of abuse against William R. Wheeler, who Is the candidate of all the commercial bodies on the Pacific coast from Puget sound to San Diego. The purpose of this Is to affect the minds of those wh are friendly to Wheeler, and also to get the idea abroad that the people of the slate of California are opposed to Mr. Wheeler, and especially to make an Impression of that sort in the national capital. Marked copies of papers containing at tacks and reflections upon Mr. Wheel er are going out to senators and mem bers of congress representing' the Pa ciflc coast states. Still another scheme has ben put Into operation, which Is to have rumors published that President McKinley has expressed his intention to name one or another man from the Middle West to All the vacancy upon the Interstate Commerce Commission and to ignore the Pacific coast, which has never had a member of the commission, and is now united for one candidate prartlc ally, the exception being the Southern Pacific Con-pany. Within the past three days friends of Mr. Wheeler Have been quietly Informed that President Mc Kinley had decided to name S. H. Flfer 0f IIlinolS' ImUlry ha invariably led j to the knowledge that the rumor start- from thf yeow ..knockery . An Ingenious form of the story wait given out in a morning paper yester- day nd ft ran thU: "Chlpmtn not be appointed. The Southern , . Pacific Company has evidently lost the flght to secure the position for him." Then the following was published ' Word was received from Washington yesterday that seems to Indicate that President McKinley has no Intention of selecting any o.je from this coast. Mr. Calhoun's successor will be. tt Is said. ex-Judge S. H.

After It appeared it was connected up with this Interesting story: That Calhoun re signed to take the position of attorney for th St- L0"'8 .Jobbers only after he had reached the conclusion that his ... , , . , successor would be appointed from ininos. alfc0 tnal Senator CuUom would after the settlement of matters close t0 the administration resign and tuc- ceed Fifer on the Interstate Cnrnmls- . siun.

With the sleeping car com panies th"re Is never a shortatre of cars since unusual demand In one portion of the country can be met by furnish ing cars from points where thfre Is no pressure, with a road which owns Its own equipment there Is often con siderable dilllculty in obtaining equip ment in times of heavy travel. lie plan of the consolidated com pany, as outlined, Is to gain control of th? Independent sleeping car service In the NorthweHt by purchase, after ward making the usual contracts with the different companies. The form of contract used recites that the road on which the sUvpors are used sbult haul th equipment and ktvp It In exterl.w repair.

CLAIMS FRAUD IX KENTUCKY BOTH SIDES MAKE I'll AMES The Khal Claims of Democrats and Kcpvbllcaas I'rumlse a Contest in the Legislature- LOUISVILLE. Nov. J.-A i-onfuslon of claims and counter claims to cUltt which an official count or perhaps a contest before the legislature will be necessary Is all that Is left of Tuesday's election. Above it all vehement cries of fraud, committed or contemplated, are heard. Each side claims th election of Its ticket by a plurality of about 4.000 and present! figures to back up the claim. These figures in some counties vary widely and it is Impossible to tell which side, if either, has accurate returns. Chairman Long of the republican campaign committed, said; "I have no estimate to give, but I can furnish actual figures. On the face of the re turns Taylor's plurality is 4.136. All preclnts have beem heard from. Twelve counties are not ofhYlal, Including the relu-ni from Kenton and Breathitt." A special from Frankfort quotes Gov ernor Bradley as saying: "Taylor has been elected by at leant 10.0"0 najority and he will be the next governor of Kentucky. The returns from democratic sources show a plurality on the face of returns of about 2.000 for Goebel. This, they claim Is to be affected by returns from some missing preclnts, where th? ilem- ocrats can hardly do woi-se than break even. Goebel and "ssnator Blackburn. In Interviews at Knnkfirt Way open ly charged the republicans with fraud in the eleventh district, from which returns ars coming in very slow ly. In dications point more strongly thnn erer to a contest before the legislature which there sems no reason to doubt will be controlled by democrats. IMITATE ASTORIA LINKS. SEATTLE, Nov. 9.

A NEW WAY TO MAKE COFFEE, The latest word of those who know Is, that to be perfect, coffee must never, while It is making, come In contact with any mutal. For the breakfast table, at least.
