The Astortan guarante to lit adver tour tht largest circulation of aay wtpaper r'Miehed oa tl Columbia MORS PILOTa The cry for more pilots, emanating fmm i nhollv Irresponsible source, ta becoming sickening, mud tt I pretty nearly time the senseless prattle ceas ed. There are plenty of pilots to handle the shipping of the CWumbla river, and the proposed Increase in the number would only serve to ren der the service deficient and further blacken the eya of this center of commerce. The threat of "legla tf ve " retlef come ' from bratn Jess source whtch haa no argument to ad vance In behalf of its position. The WasMnrton pilot commissioners recently named by Governor McBrkle have announced a determination to work for an increased number of pilots tt an investigation shows that the present force ts Inadequate, and the announcement la leefuUy accepted by the up-river agitators as meaning that at least six additional branches will be Issued. The Washington com missioners will make their Investiga tion and And that the present service H admirable; that delays to shipping eatmot Hghtfully be attributed to the pilots; that the condition of the bar alone is responsible for the delays occurring during the present season, and" that the promiscuous issuance of branches would result in the licensing of men whose incompetence would do as much to injure our shipping Inter ests as any other possible cause. And, as Messrs. Wilson, Kerlee and Payne are not of the class of men that can be "Jollied" by a hulldoaing newspaper, they will let good enough alone.' The tactics of the Portland "rlbbers" are certainly disgusting, and the Port land Chamber of Commerce, in lending its assistance to them, has committed itself to a policy that must sooner or later ruin Ks usefulness. When the Inadequate not poor, mind yon tug boat service was complained of, the Portland Chamber of Commerce took up the matter with the O. R. A N. officials and succeeded in ' bringing about the dismissal of Captain Ran- i daJI. of the tug "Wallula. No ' more contemptible piece of business was ever successfully undertaken. The Wallula is a small tug too small for the Columbia river bar and up to the time Captain Randall took charge of her had been a failure. Captain Ran dall made a success of her, giving even a better service than has been rendered by the powerful Tatooah. lie has worked untiringly, as all ship ping men know, and his reward is that usually accorded faithful employes by his employee-summary dismissal. Captain McCoy is to. succeed Captain Randall. Captain McCoy is a first class bartug man, but Is he more ef ficient than Captain Randall? Decided ly, no. When Captain McCoy was here before there was eight or 10 feet more water on the bar than there is at present, ret delays to shipping were Just as frequent, so far as the ability of the tugs to help the situa tion was concerned. Captain Randall, who, so far as the Astortan knows, has no complaint to make, and whose retirement ts here discussed only as It affects the general pub Ho, is the .vic tim oC the whims of a coterie of meddlers- When we apeak about poor pilotage and tugboat service we should not blame Individuals for the-' work of na ure. Those who desire an.aonest an ewer to the question. Why has ship ping been delayed no much ihls eea son? have only to repair to . the dock of the Columbia' River 'Packers' Association for tt. , ; There. the big steamship PembrokeiMre is moored, f he has been laden for a long time. No tugboat is required to take hrr to sea. She is in port because the condi tion of the weather makes her depart ure impossible over the present shal . low bar; and she will remain here nntU the weather moderates. For the tame reason other vessels have been dmaned. ".' ' ... ., ;' " . , . ' Sifting the ' whole of the agitation own to fact, then, we must have more pilots and a new tugboat t cap tain because the action of the water on he sands of the sea haa thimted the bar. What rot! Inquiries are dally being received here from all parts of tha country for information regarding business oppor tunities, Almost Invariably the re quests far Information are from East ern people, who find it difficult now to make a Hvtng in the more thickly settled portions of the it'nHed States. There the land is worked out in many sections and that still in use haa be come so valuable that agriculturalists are practically excluded. Naturally they turn to the West, with tts count less acres of farming land and unlimit ed opportunities. These people want to j know what they can get in the Coast j states, and the number of inquiries j grows greater daily. Clatsop county offers many inducements to the home seeker, and judaic us advertising wflf unquestionably result In the settling of our farming and dairying lands, now lying Idle. The Chamber of Com merce and Push Club are both awake to the necessity of providing" matter descriptive of the country and a Joint pamphlet wiH be published. 'It will contain brief facts and attractive Il lustrations, setting forth the oppor tunities held out to the small investor, as well as those heid out to the capi talist. The "fake" feature win be obliterated. Clatsop's beat advertise ment wilt be those homeseekers who locate here and write bach to their Eastern friends of the land of plenty. The local commercial 'organisations are taking up an important work, and we may rest assured good results will be obtained. itr. Clayton, of the Blue Hill Ob servatory, has a suggestive paper in the Popular Science Monthly on the Influence of rainfall on commercial and political affairs. Every severe financial panic in the Untied States has been closely associated with a pro tracted season of deficient rainfall. The outbreak of the Boxer war in CMna was at least partially due to the impoverishment of the people toy drouth.. A. sever winter precipitated the French revolution. The Russian saying that January and February are, two favtncibte generals was ex emplified by the disastrous Moscow campaign of 1812. In the year 54 B. C, Caesar's legions In Gaul were de feated on account of their scattered stations and the stations were placed wide apart because a scanty harvest had made this disposition a neces sity. These are only a few of many examples that might be cited. Gen. Charles P. Eagan, late of thf commissary department, is said to have been challenged to a duel. As this gives him the choice of weapons, he will naturally name embalmed beef. Would it not be better to compromise the awful affair. Kidney complaint kills more people than any other disease. This is due to the disease being as lnsldous that it gets a good bold on the system be fore it Is recognized. Foley's Kidney Cure will prevent the development of fatal disease if taken in time.

It might wash-Alaskan shore and do no more towards giving a different climate than a warm wa ter pipe could accomplish towards the heating of a state. CHILD WORTH MILUON3.
