THE ASTORIAN PUBLISHING CO.,
WILL THE CHINESE GO?
The experimnet ofrunnntng a sal
mon packing establishment. with white
labor exclusively l pne which will be
watched with much interest by the
public. The consumer Is interested be
cause there Is a widespread rumor,
with' or without truthfulness, that the
Chinese, who have always performed
this class of labor, are none too cleanly.
Working people see In the new depart
ure an opportunity for more work dur
ing a considerable portion of the year.
This appeals especially to women and
to boys and girls, for the work Is large
ly such at can be performed by them.
The removal of the American Can
Company's plant from Astoria makes
this feature a desirable one for a large
number of Juvenile employes, who
might otherwise be thrown out of em
ployment. The Interest of cannery-
men centers In the fact that If the
Tallant-Grant people find the plan e
tirelr successful it will probably be
generally adopted by the canneries In
this vicinity. The reform once fairly
started means the down of the celes
tial as a monopolist of cannery labor.
The only real hope for him is in pe
coming sufficiently Americanized to be
allowed to join -he union which will In
evitably occupy the field. The employ
ment of Chinese cannery crews may
have been and may still be necessity
in isolated places such as most of the
Alaska canneries are located in. They
probably furnish the only means of op
erating under such circumstances. It
would seem, however, that in a city
having as many industriously inclined
people willing to do the work as there
are in Astoria, the transient and un
savory Chinese may well be dispensed
with. Possibly none will be more pleas
ed with the parsing than the packers
themselves, who would certainly have
preferred white labor from the start
if it could have been depended upon
to be on hand In sufficient force just
when needed. Here arises the most
serious question connected with the
change. , There is not enough steady
employment in a cannery, even during
the tishinng season, for a full crew.
The cannery must be operated accord
ing as many or few fish are receiv
ed. Whether white day labor will sub
mit to being laid off indefinitely, and
then can be depended upon to be on
band promptly when a good run of fish
appears in the river is yet unsolved.
The American will not agree, as do the
Chinese, to work during the season at
rales which a contractor would be Jus
tified in paying, considering the chanc
es which a contractor must assume as
to a large or small pack.
The Chinese contractor who agreees
to furnish the necessary labor for the
season's pack at so many cents a case,
is protected by the fact that while his
men are able to do the work while
there is work to be done, they do not
ccut him so much while they are idle;

way. Probably this feature of the case
will form a fruitful source of disagree
ment between the employers and the
unions. It Is to he hoped, however,
that another season will witness the
aereeable sight of All white crews In
every Astoria establishment, and con'
sequent increase In the home circul'
tion of money and the building of the

AS TO MR. HERMANN.
The following lucid and truthful state
ment wrlttun by Harry L. Holgate,
formerly of The Astorian, and pub
lished in the Corvallts Gasette covers
lots of r3und:
"The operation of the National Land
laws Is to figure In the present First
Oregon Congressional District cam
paign. Just why this is so Is not ex
actly clear. Neither Mr. Hermann
nor Mr. Reamea, nor even our own Mr.
Ingalls can. be, in reason, blamed for
those laws which have done much for
the West and which have also given
an opportunity for much fraud. These
frauds have been accomplished under
the various administrations and will
cotinue as long as the land laws re
main as they are.
In the matter of the conduct of the
local land officials, it will be remem
bered that the commissioner of pub
lic lands has not the power to appoint
or remove them and the several Oregon
local land commissioners, who have
been recently summarily retired, were
appointed by a Federal judge, who hap
pens to be a Democrat. No one thinks
of holding Judire Bellinger responsible
for the alleged official misconduct.
Mr. Hermann, when Commissioner,
urged Congress constantly, but vainly,
to so amend the laws that the frauds
could not be practiced.
'Among the other realities that the
opposition to Mr. Hermann will not
discuss in connection with his admin
istration of the land office, is the fact
that of the HJ.OOO.OOO to U5.000.000, which
was bandied by the office during his
Incumbency, not -one cent was lost
through defalcations or carelessness.
"To those familar with the situation
tt seems odd that the friendly rela
tions between the President and Mr.
Hermann should be questioned, for
were those relations other than very
friendly Mr. Hermann would not
have retained his office so long after
Mr. Roosevelt's Accession to the presi
dency. It Is very unusual for a bureau
chief to remain longer than the De
partment desires, and Mr. Hitchcock
has for several years urged Mr. Her
mann's retirement. Their difference
was not personal, but was based upon
several matters of policy in which Mr.
Hermann had the support of the West
Mr. Hermann did not care to yield his
convicitons even to retain his office.
That thse unpreven table land frauds
were net an issue is shown by the
fact that Mr. Hermann's assistant
was made his successor.
"Of really more Importance to Oregon
than a Congressman's relations with the
Administration is his relationship with
Congress, and probably no Oregonlan
who reals and thinks will deny that
no man in the State, other than Sena
tor Mitchell, is closer to the Influential
members of Congress than Singer Her,
mann. Of especial importance to Ore
gon at this time Is the fact that Mr.
Hermann is on the most pleasant terms
with Speaker Cannon."

'THE POETRY OF THE ORANGE.
"It appeals to you, when the fruit
hangs ripe and sweet on the tree lati in
February, or early in March. Then the
blossoms break out, and the trees are
yellow with golden globes, and white
with orange flowers. It may be that
a flurry of snow has whitened the
mountain tops, and then you have an
artistic background for a tropical for
est.. The air is full of sunshine, and
heavy with the f i-agrance , as night
comes on, and then, if the moon be
shining.you hear at midnight through
upen windows, the song of the mocking
bird in the Scented grove, and It never
seemed so melodious before."
An experience like this Is possible any
winter, and it is worth a Journey oft a
thousand miles, while you can have it
by taking the scenic Shasto route
throug the grand nnd picturesque Sis
kiyou and Shasta mountains, to south
ern California. Complete Information
