' " ' : , THE COST OF MAULING GRAIN. . The Portland Journal of Monday con tain an Interesting statement bearing on. the cost ot transporting train from Portland to Astoria. The Journal Ar um It that the cost of taking vessels to Portland to load Ja now only 12 to 14 cents a ton. And that this expense Is so low that no rail line on earth could nope to compete with It. It Is to be persumed, perhaps, that the Journal thus seeks to demonstrate con clusively that there is no advantage to be gained by the shipment of wheat from Astoria that is to say, no advan tage to the Inland Empire producer whose grain must be shipped out of the Columbia river." On the hypothesis that the Journal would offer proof in sup uort ot this oft -reDeated Portland claim, The Astorian ventures the following In formation fo? the especial edification of its Portland contemporary: The shipment of grain from Astoria would not, so for as rail rates are con cerned, entail 1 cent more expense per - thousand tons than shipment from Port land under the common point rule em ployed by all American railroads. This rule places certain districts in certain classes of rates, no matter what the difference in distance may be. For Instance, the grain rate" from The Dalles to Portland Is exactly the same as from Walla Walla to Portland, although the distance from WallaWalla is twice as great. Again, all the ports on Puget sound enjoy identically the same rate, regardless of any difference there may be In distance from the point at which the grain was loaded on the cars. It will thus be seen that, were termi nal rates extended to Astoria which, alone of all coast ports, does not enjoy the benefits of this universal railroad rule grain would be hauled down to the river's mouth at precisely the same cost that is exacted for the haul from the wheat fields to Portland. Any com parison, therefore, touching the cost by river and rail between Portland and Astoria is ridiculous. We note with satisfaction, however, that the Journal is on the right track in one Important respect. It offers sub stantial proof of the undisputed fact that charter rates that essential con sideration to the producer ere govern ed solely by the size of vessels. Because, of the greater tonnage possible at As toria with a 40-foot bar, the people of this port have unsuccessfully demanded extension of the common point rule to Astoria. The Journal can put it down as certain that, If the railroads ever recognize the ocean port of the Colum bia basin, the producers will be saved a vast sum annually, and it will not hurt Portland either. , The federal jury in the land fraud prosecutions now on in Portland is liable to find itself entangled in mystic mazes earthly juries have heretofore escaped. A warrant has already been issued for the mysterious "John Doe" Mrs. Fred No. 228 Territorial Street, "I am c leased to E'fve any experience with wine of Caidui as I am very grateful for its help. After my first baby was born I could not seem to regain my strength, although the doctor gave me atonic which he considered very superior, but instead of getting better I grew weaker every day. My husband came home one evening with toast. Wine of Cardui and in sisted that I take it for a week and tee what it would do for me. At he seemed to have so much faith in it I did take the imedkine and was very grateful to find my strength slowly returning. Ia two weeks I was out of bed and in a month I vii able to take up my usual duties. I am very enthusiastic in its praise." 0THERH00D is the noblest duty and highest privilege women can achieve or aspire to. With out this nrivileire women do not get all there is in life too often they go through the world discontented, wrapped up in their own selfish cares and trouHet.

The youth or even the man who never asks questions can be set down as very dull. A little judgment in selecting the proper time and place for seeking infor nation is all that Is needed, but the de sire for information should be carefully cultivated. The honest, earnest seeker after truth is the hope of the race. Any sober, reliable farm laborer in Denmark, who has saved one-tenth the mortgage value of the little farm he covets this value not to exceed $1100 can buy the -kind by ' borrowing - the other nine-tenths from a government fund. He gives a mortgage on which he pays S per cent. A business block on the site of the city hall would add materially to the appearance of the city. A new city hall is another desirable Improvement. It remains for the council to secure the highest price possible for the old site and determine upon a means of select ing a new one. , ...

Accepting the phiiosopmcai view of the situation, he proceeded to build fire and then laid himself down for the night.

DEATH RATE IS INCREASING Startling Growth of Number of AccUU'tit in New York. New Oct. 20. Official figures of the board of health, covering a period of three years, show that the number of persons killed annually in the streets of Now York is Increasing in an alarming degree.
