WAKING UP AT LAST.
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

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 failure in th-- p.ic y ,,f W st-,i

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
