. THE WORK THAT COUNTS.
' The people Astoria have been
nited tor the common good on two
rcsioMi-oee when the railroad sub
idy of land and cash to the extent
t $1,500,000. - raised, and again at
the present time. A great change has
come over the people of late, and now
' they are to be found working to
gether like brother tor the benefit of
the city.
A striking Instance of the publlc
apirit ow pervading the community
to afforded In the effort to aecure en
largement of the Leather shlp-bulld-iag
plant The owner of the land re
quired for the enterprise asked $6000
for it. whereas the Investor had avail
able for the purchase $300. The Joint
committee on manufactories Inter
viewed the owner and induced him to
reduce Ms figure to 00. Then the
public-spirited men offered to secure
the J1000 necessary to the success of the
plant and give it to the Investor for
a year. The Interest will be borne
by the commercial bodies. The com
mittee has, through the commercial
organisation, taken, steps to secure
vacation of the foot of Fourth street
to further assist the enterprise. , ,
In this matter there has been none
of the petty bickering that has been
characteristic of this community In
the past The committee saw a chance
to add to the growing payroll, and
without any hesitancy set about to
kelp an enterprise that means more
money for Astoria workmen. This Is
the way to do business. The healthy
spirit that actuates the ormmlttee
built Chicago and Seattle and scores
of other towns, and It will certainly
build up a greater Astoria. That we
have at last solved the problem of
success Is Indeed gratifying, and, with
such a committee as that now work
ing, Astoria Is bound to prosper. Let
the business men and property owners
stand by the committee In all Its un
dertakings, and within a short time
Astoria will not be entirely dependent
upon the fishing Industry.
PUGILISM AS A PROFESSION.
Saturday two men met In a ring in
an Kastern city and battied each oth
er until one fell helpless. It is relat
ed that early 'n the fisht the one who
met defeat had an ear split, his Hps
cracked, his nose pounded and one eye
partly clased. Noble sport!
It Is to be regretted that a certain
lingering taint of savagery makes pos
sible the existence of the prizefighter,
for the prizefighter Is of no earthly
good, says the Tacoma Ledger. He
is apt to be between his times of
training a vagrant and in close touch
with the element openly criminal.
Ordinarily he Is outside the ring more
bestial than when in It, for In the
latter place he is governed by a set
of rules. His delight Is the beating
f women. If by some stroke of luck
lie obtain the money to start Into
business, the business Is almost Invari
ably that of keeping a disorderly sa
loon which becomes a resort for the
abandoned of both sexes.
The Influence of the pugilist Is all
bad. He Is made a sort of hero. He
is worshiped by the small boy. He Is
pointed out aw a. notable figure. Men
who are respectable and seemingly
sane go to witness his performances,
which In nineteen cases out of
twenty are arrant swindles In which
actual superiority cuts no figure. The
pugilist himself Is hardly to blame.
He Is a creature of dull Intellect, Tim
he knows an easy way to make a
living. For one fight, and that fight
a fake, he can get more money than
by decade of hard and honest toll.
The public, always delighted to be
victimised, gives this money.
Jeffries was a bollermaker, Fitzslm
mons a blacksmith, Corbett had a
place In a bank and later was physi
cal Instructor In a club. Sharkey was
In the navy.- Each had a . field ; in
which he could have been of some use.
Now, without merit and without hav
Ing earned an honest cent all are
rich or have permitted fortunes to flow
through their "hands. The fighter has
a bigger Income than the president of
a bank or a railroad. This Is as to
the leaders In the several classes. On
the outskirts of puglllera Is a swarm
of lessor fry always ready to turn a
dishonest penny when the crop of
suckers gives -.he opportunity and e
police do not happen to be running
suspicious characters out of town.
SeK-defense is Quite another propo
sition. Every man should know how
to handle his fists in case of attack,
and tiiu exorcise of acquiring the In
formation -will be beneficial This,
however, has no more to do with u
sflhm thin an Intelligent use of
firearms has with murder on the
highway. The pugilist never uses his
science outside the ring. 'When he
engages In a barroom fight he Is apt
to hurl a spittoon, and he likes to
beat his woman with a chair or the
crockery.
The average prlteflghter belongs on
the chaingang. It Is folly to pour
money Into his coffers. ' He does noth
ing for the world and the world does
not owe him the fat living he gets.
He Is a nuisance, a lawbreaker and an
inciter to crime.
CRISIS OS TUB COAST."
The East Oregonlaa says: An es
teemed exchange remarks' that the
coast has now to face a crisis and
that it Is necessary that an cities and
localities pull together for the ad
vancement of this portion of the con
tinent. It is a remark worthy wide
reading and win be found reprinted
elsewhere In this paperr.
Heretofore, there ftas been deplor
able contention and quarrelling be
tween this and that city and jealous
ies have substracted from the sum
total of effective energy. Portland
has had to fight the influences of the
Sound and San Francisco. Tacoma
has had to fight Seattle, and Seattle to
fight Tacoma. 'Frisco has had to
fight the cities further north, and, in
this fight among themselves, each
has wasted effort that should have
gone to compel for the great west
what the unwilling east should give.
In a measure. It Is the east against
the west and it is to that extent a
sectional struggle. And sectional
struggles are not desirable. They
are partially dependent "upon the
principle that one region must be
built up at the expense of another,
which is not sound economy.
But this has been forced upon the
west, and Is not of Its choosing. And
it should.be apparent that In the long
run, what builds up one of the coast
cities will build up the others by di
recting attention to the west and de
veloping Its resources.
It wou'd l to expect the millenium
to look for complete cession of these
bickerings, yet it will not be unreas-
onable to hope that to some extent I energy and ambition, with disordered
the coast cities may learn to pull to- j liver and Kidneys often follow an at

able to do so should assist the rrftn-

Presbyterian church in their com -
mendable effort to erect a new edifice.
With the exception of Grace church,
the religious structures of Astoria are,
in appearance, far behind the resi
dences and business houses. There is
no valid excuse why Astoria's church

And i
it is a source of gratification to know
that Mr. Marcotte, of the Presbyterian
church, will not remove from the city.
He has been a power for good during
his long residence here, and that his
congregation appreciates his worth Is
evident from its determination to keep
him in Astoria.
A denial by Mr. Bryan of the report
