Yesterday Senator Fulton left tor Portland, on his way to Washington, where be will, take no the Important duties of his position, departing for his destination tomorrow. " ' No new Incumbent In the position of United States senator for our Brest state has assumed the responsibilities of office under as favorable circumstances as does Senator Pulton. Young, pro gressive, in full accord with his party, : and equipped with an experience that counts for much, he should succeed be- friends. " .V ' " Astoria is deeply Interested in the future of Senator Fulton, The second , city in slae in the state, occupying an enviable position near the mouth of the -Columbia and therefore an important " seaport, Astoria feels that she will be Well looked after. This paper does not expect that other parts of the state will be forgotten tn this. Senator Fulton is a representative citizen and his work will, be for all Oregon. ; " This is the first time.however, that Astoria has been accorded the distln . gulshed honor of a United States sena tor. This section is well entitled tr such a representative, and will earnest ly hope that nothing will occur to change the order of things. It is not out of order to suggest that It will re- , quire united effort on the part of Asto ria people, in the future, as In the past, to have a senator whose home is in As toria. "In unity there. Is strength." If ther Is full harmony at home, of which there Is no reason to doubt, the state at laige will gladly accord such support as will maintain our senatorial repre sentation in congress, so auspiciously begun. " ' , farmer, married and raised a family of Ave children. For nearly seventeen Tears he resided in Arkansas, enjoying the confidence and respect of his neigh bora. Finally he was discovered and returned to Jefferson City to serve out his time. A dispatch to the St Louis Republic, under date of Jefferson City, September 2! says: "Governor Dockery today, after reviewing the case, de cided to give him his liberty In consid eration of his endeavor to be a good cit- laen. It Is the first instance on record at the Missouri penitentiary where a man received a pardon after an attempt to escape." TIME TO GET READY. The appearance of the transport Grant oft the Columbia river bar is earnestly looked for in a few days. The vesael.ho wever, will come in a new form and to begin a new era of usefulness, one that 4s of vast concern to Astoria and almost every portion of Oregon. She has been transformed into a deep sea dredge.especially'for use on the bar at the mouth ofthe Columbia river. This sort of vessel is not numerous but it has been demonstrated beyond the possibility of a doubt that the scheme te a practical one. With the advent of the Grant and the completion of the Jetty, Astoria can then prepare to realize that 40 feet o water at low tide at the mouth of the Columbia is reality, v Portland will share in 1 the benefits that will accrue under the conditions hoped for. If Astoria and Portland will reap beneats, it is plain to be seen that eastern Oregon and the Willamette val ley will also share in them. It may be repeated t emohasize the Importance of the project undertaken, that Oregon as a whole will reap rich reward. When the portage road at the dalles of the Columbia will have been com peted, and the railroa-i projects of the great interior will have been consum mated,Astoria,and it is In her that our locality is mainly interested, will have become relatively nearer as the great seaport of Oregon and of the Pacific mwrt. It is but natural that we should look out for our own before the needs of our neighbors, and Astoria people have a rlgbi to congratulate each other and should take a firmer and truer hold upon the buslnes of this region In the due preparation for the better con ditions which will certainly ensue. The report that the- Northern Pacific has an option upon the new Lyle-Ool den&ale (Wash.) road is of especial Interest. ; The road Is built in the ter ritory claimed by the Northern Pacific being on the north side of the Colum bia, opposite The Dalles, and running from Lyle In a northeasterly direction to Goldendale. Should the Northern Pacific become the owner of this line of railrjad It will arouse more than ordinary interest. That the line will be completed to the Northern Pacific main line at or near Ellensburgh, should the trade be made is a proba bllity. Whether or not it will be ex tended to Portland and the mouth of the river, via the Columbia route, in that evjnt Is a matter of conjecture, but It would seem to be a course likely to be pursued by that corporation, un less Jim Hill's Interests should be in imical to this portion of Oregon. Secretary Chamberlain's letter to the Daily Telegraph,, London, contains the platform for the new protection party in England. He says: ' It is not well with English trade. After a long per iod of success the policy of unrestricted free Imports has now shown signs of failure. Our exports are stationary in amount and declining In character. We receive from our competitors a larger proportion of manufactured goods and we send them a larger pro portion of raw material than we used to. Our supremacy In what we have always considered our standard Indus tries has been wrested from us, or Is seriously menaced." ' ,' Strange a little microscopic creature like a typhoid bacillus should Taise such a rumpus over in the WHlimette valley. , LINES ARE DOWN. yesterday's storm laid low all tele graph and telephone lines out of the city, with the result that The Astorian appears this morning without Its full quota of telegraphic news, only the day report having been received.

Astoria, Ore., Sept 21, 'OS 1 have been requested by The As torian to write a recommendation of a work entitled "Life and Life-work of Pope Leo XIIL" by J. X McGovern. X. D. It is a pleasure to comply with this ' request. In this volume we And con densed In compact form, all the facts ot Interest in the life of the great world-ligure concerning whom It treats. It Is preeminently a practical biogra phy. Intended for the busy man with little time to spare; it displays an In sight Into the great pontiff s career which denotes the close observer and careful studene on the part of the com piler. No man, be he a Catholic or a non-Catholic, can lay claim to a thorough knowledge of the political, social, religious history of the last quarter ot the nineteenth contury, who Is Ignorant of the life and work of Io XIII. This volume will in a measure, furnish a key to the secret of the deceased pontiff's wonderful success and Influence In the world at large. The author pays special at tention to Leo's nttltuda towards the I'ulted States. The chapters devoted to a consideration of "Leo XIU and Education" and "Activities In IMialf of Labor' are very timely. The even, non-polemnloal tone of the volume re comivend It alike to believer and im believer. Tho perusal of this book must needs prove uplifting. The typographical work Is well done and the Illustrations are highly Inter esting, and considering the price for which the volume Is offered It Is all that could be desired.
