The Astorian, October II. 1S99. For two years the Astoritn, in almost every daily (dition. has sought to arouse Portland to the Importance of looking after the control of the 0. R. ft N. road. File of the Astorian show repeated warnings to the business men of Astoria, Portland and Oregon that. the policy which controls the O. R. ft N. waa inimical to Portland and to Oregon. Long before the last jejsion of the legislature (1S9S), the Oregon:an wag appealed to for help by the Astorian in procuring such preliminary logislitbn as would amount to a notice to the railroad combination that the advant age of the O. R. ft N.'s water level route to the sea must be reserved at all times and under all circumstance for the benefit of Oregon and her seaports. The Oregonian hooted at the efforts of the AstJrian. The purpose of :h? Astorian were Tiisrepres-nted and its editor personally vilifl -J for his earnt ,vu'r 1 "'-'" "". to the gravity of the situation. The ed- J !a;k.,i ,f in Vhalf of r -;.vi 1 -r As itor of the Oregoniati knew th-n a h- t ,rLl .-n i. s .h r..;iA.n , ,v Grtf. knows now that the Astorian way right, but through some restrain. ng in fluence he was not free to express h:s own honest convictions) in his paper. Whether the editor of the Oregoniati hoped that the situation would re-oive itself, through contemplated Chang's in the O. R. ft N.'s ownership an I man agement, more favorable to Oregon an 1 Por.land, or whether the peculiar policy he pursued In the face of the then ix Istlng condition and the approaching crisis, which he was in a position to understand much better thin the Asto rian, was dictated out of other and less honorable considerations, the Ad rian does not know. The fact remains, and the whole Northwest will soon be apprise! of It bv thn change whtth mu?t and will come In the attitude of the Oregoman, that the Astorian was right from the beginning and '.hat the Strang? course of Portland's paper has cost the pro ducers and business men of Oregon mil lions of dollars and afforded the com mercial enemies and rivals of Oregon the required opportunity to mature their plans and set up combinations against Portland and the Columbia riv er which may require years to over throw. The Astorian, October 21, 1599. -The common point asked by Astoria Is the extension to this port by the O. R. & N. Company and its a-g .elated railways of the same freight rates from Inland centers of production now granted the ports on Puget sound, situ ated In some marked instances much further distant from those Interior produc:lon points than Astoria. In other words, the seaport of Astoria merely wanta to be put on .in equal plane of competition, so far a rail way rati-s are concerned with the ter minals of the Great North-rn an Nor thern Pacific ii Pug-t sound. In fa vor of this very reasonable anl right ful concession, Astoria pleads t!u cheiper operating expens-s of the down grade haul to Astoria in contrast wi-,h the expensive haul over the niouniain.- to Tacoma and Seattle, it will be r,n. eerved that Astoria asks none of the advantages over the Puget soond ports whlcb she might Justly claim, on ac count of this cheap"'" railway haul. She only pleads to be equalised with these ports and left to fight Iter battles alone. If. as the Orvgoiil.in often claims, this con.-rsslon to Astoria would entitle Portland to a lower rate that eitlv r A:or!.i or the vm t on Pu get sounl In consequence of Port land's 100-mile Inlatid situat.on Asto ria would have no complaint to make. Portland and the producers of the Co lumbia tastn who preferred to ship whea. to Per. land would ho that ituol. better off. Astoria milk's no demand for the same rate as Portland. She his no fi.cht with Portland. She Is anx ious that produ.- r and tni::ics men of Oregon shall have all the advant age that the respective Nations of Portland and Astoria can possibly of fer. What she cries out against is the manifest injustice of forcing such 1 ro- ducer of the Narthwsj is might pre fer to eioort wheat at Astoria to send their product to S.-attle and Ta.om. through the pwn: policy of withhold ing rates Irom Astoria which are g'ven these farther distant sn l mor- Injios sible ports on Puge: sound. This . the sum and substance of AstoriiV con'en tlon and It Is strange that .vy honest newspaper or f.vir minded Individual In Oregon ?hou!d deride a ;r p iti n so meritorious and one off ring so great benefits to th whole state. Ast 'nan. October 1 The rate on eg? rt wheat frun cT Hln Interior "Vomin n points" about ihr-e hundred riles from Portland on the O. R. & N.'s dow n ftr.i I s is as much ss $ a ton. the sure rate , harg ed by the S und re-ads to t.ikJ the same commodi.y ov r moun-ain rmg-'s. m r- than I'M mile further, to Seattle. Is this a fair ra'e to ch.irg-' producers for a down-grale haul? Is it Just to Port land and a proper r-Ml'.iati.-n of the advantages of her location as against her rivals on the Sound that the Ore gon road should exact a much for drooolnc wheat down its water gride rails as suffices to lift the same grain over mountain tops an! carry I: more than HH miles further to Seattle? The Astorian. October 31. 199.

One of the gnat merits of Russian dlplorraey In China, a merit which accounts for a great deal which has been .ild to bo the re sult of force and bribery, has been the curtesy and amlabllly shown by Rus sian officer In their treatment of the Chinese dignitaries. Sir Robert quotes loading Chinese statesman to the effect that "the Russians are so polue that when they take some. ling from us they do It so nlcily that we feel we must thank them, whereas, even . he" certain other nations fall In with our views, they do so in a manner w hi. h milk it clear that they have no re spect for us."
