Editor' Astorian: Portland Is great If disturbed because It has not railroad connection with middle and southeast era Oregon. ... Whan railroad building first began in the state, arrangements were made to extend "a road from the 'Willamette valloy through the Klamath country, dependant, however ,on certain con gressional action. The latter was agreed upon and the agents of the pro Ject left Washington City with the as aurance that the bill would pass. Then the Oregon senator from Portland, it is said,' without notice to the agents. amended or changed the provisions of the bill and killed tha road. The same scheme contemplated a road through the Nehalem valley, which the Ore gonian now. crya for. but it met the same fate as the southern part. Iattr a railroad started from Ta- quina bay with the Intention of cross Ing over the Cascade mountains into ' middle Oregon, and tap the country the Orgonlan now, wants Mr. HaYrlman to enter. The building ot the new road lessened the freights into the Wilam ette valljy and raised the price of grain, etc., to the farmers. The Port Jand papers ridiculed the road and its . port. Its merchants with traiisporta tlon companies, put on an opposition to the new route and bought up the valley products without regard to cost The new' enterprise failed, and no road to this day has crossed the Cascade mountains. PIONEER. This bit of ancient history empha- aires the statement, so often made, that the interests centering in Port land, of which the Oregonian is the organ, have always combatted any plan which would develop Oregon without making such development tributary to Portland. When itis recalled that Mr. Hunting- too would have built bis road into Ore gon years before and over a better route, had it not been for the incident Which so displeased him, and that the road now owned by Mr. Hammond might have been doing business in central and southeastern Oregon for ' years had it not been for this agency, it is not bard to explain the opposi tion to the little line proposed to be built for the convenience of Forest Grove, Hillsboro and the other towns on that line, and to other "opposition" projects. PERTINENT POSSIBILITIES. a While the cltzens of Astoria are wait ing with excessive patience for the city to be cleaned up and beautified by the Civic Improvement League or the Wo man's club, would it not be pertinent to remark that each resident Is re sponsible for the appearance of the property ' he occupies, and each each neighborhood for the cleanliness and slghtllnes of its vicinity? This means that the organization of a num ber of local Improvement societies might prove the successful method of getting at the problem for resuts. Certain citizens probably regard the efforts of the central bodies as med dlesome, and do not like to be request ed to do what they know should be JWALTJtOII ROOFIMG ' Never corrodes, never iwcu nor expand in fact never givei iny. trouble of any kind and ii uted for ill clutet of work.

Then why not combine with the neighbors or your Wn self esteem and at once remove the rubbish fjroni the street, clear away unsightly brush and weeds, trim up the shrubbery, till up the mud holes and cultivate flowers and other aids to beauty? If such a course could be made a fad it would not be long before there would be a great difference in the impres sion, a view of the various parts of As toria would produce, and the scheme might be productive of splendid results In the development of good clttxenship and the encouragement of a sense of responsibility and neighborliness. In the cosmopolitan population ot this city there is altogether too much cold ness and stransentss between the va rious sections tor Its welfare. Any move that will bring together the mem bers of the clans of the city and nuke each cltlien feel that he is an Import ant and responsible part of the whole. rather than a person to be designated only by his nationality, and having no particular Interest in the municipality at large except to resiond to a demand for his vote and to pay his taxes, will be a wise and patriotic action. There are hundreds of noble and it- voted wives and mothers In Astoria who embody much latent power for good, but in whom the full measure of freedom and equality has not been developed. It remains for a happy leadership to accomplish notable re sults In these fields. Germany is highly Indignant because of the expressions of Admiral Dewey. who said that the crews the men be hind the guns of United States war vessels are far more efficient in action than those of German vessels. His point was that our sailors and marines are better trained for independent thinking and acting, not relying on in structions of officers to the extent re quired by German regulations, and con sequently act with more intelligence and effect In the stress of battle. The German navy has hardly had sufficient opportunity to show just what it Is capable of. If all reports are true some of Its officers are spoiling for a chance to show Dewey that he is mistaken, though possibly their pres ent show of feeling arises from a sus. picton that Dewey is right about it It Is expected that A. S. Dresser will receive his appointment as reg ister ot the Oregon City land office sometime this week. The present In cumbent. Charles B. Moo res, has made an excellent officer and leaves behind him a good record, and it is a source of much satisfaction to know that in Mr. Dresser he will have a worthy successor. The new appointee is a man of high character and standing, and is eminently qualified from a legal and business standpoint for the duties of the office.
