In a recent issue of the Oregon Jour nal it was shown that the actual cost of ' carrying a ship load of freight from Portland to Astoria, distance of 100 mites, was from IS to 14 cents a ton, ays an exchange. This estimate ap plied to ocean steamers and, of course, did not include loading or unloading. But it answers to form an estimate of the cost of carrying freight by river steamers, and serves to form a basis at which wheat can be carried from the grain fields of the Inland Empire to tide water when the Columbia river shall have been opened to navigation by the construction of the canal and lurks between The Dalles and Celllo. If the actual cost of carrying freight by ocean steaomer ia 14 cents a ton for 100 miles, at a like proportion it should be 52 cents for 300 miles, or from the eastern Oregon wheat fields to Astoria. But it Is not possible to operate a river steamer carrying only 200 or 300 tons of freight, as cheaply aa an ocean vessel carrying eight or ten times Ntbat amount proportionately, at the same rate. However, the cost should not be mure urau uuuuie, mat lb, soniewnai over a dollar a ton for 300 miles haul x Then allowing half a dollar a ton for profits, etc., the wheat of the Inland Empire, should be hauled by river to tide water at not to exceed $1.50 a ton, that !s from points east of Celllo, which would mean a saving of nearly five cents a bushel to the farmers. When the volume of wheat raised an nually in the Inland Empire ia taken into consideration, and such results are to be attained by an open river, it is difficult to understand how any mem ber of congress can reasonably refuse to support the increased appropriation for The Dalles-Celllo canal and locks that will be asked for at the coming session. tVIALTTfOID The new high trade lag for low coit work.

HARSH SENTENCE IMPOSED Six Months for Persons Found tit Saloon on Sunday. duced Simpson to-people in Eugene, and ia also appears that even Uoyd, as a notary public, took the acknowledge ment of Simpson to a deed. This does not took well for the government's contention. Reports come from Eastern Oregon that farmers are holding their wheat for better prices. This may or may not prove wise. The downward tendency of the market has been checked, but it is not certain that prices will Improve, although eastern markets show slight advances. This it attributed to war rumors concerning Russia and Japan. a) Visitors to the metropolis cannot help but note the general activity and trend of business. Portland was never in a more prosperous condition. Asto ria is more advantageously located than Portland, in many respects, and will certainly share in the general growth New Tork Oct. 26 For having been found in a saloon on Sunday, six women and nine men have been senten ced by Magistrate flammer to six months in .he city prison.

The severe penalty Imposed greatly surprised the prisoner as those arretted under similar con ditions generally are dismissed after a night in the police station. ON LOOKOUT FOR ROBBERS. New Tork.

Baker City, Oct. t8. Burglars broke into the county clerk's office in the court house last night and rummaged through a large number ot files and pigeon holes, evidently looking for some particular paper or document in which they were interested. A lot of bonds and scrip certificates and other vaJ able papers were scattered on the floor but so far as can be learned none of them were taken. Those who happened to pass near the O. R. & N. dock yesterday must have observed the steam freighter, Vermont, being loaded from lighterage. The cargo is lumber. Part of it was taken aboard at Portland, but it being Impos sible to complete the cargo there, the remainder was brought down the river on barges. This is such a common oc currence that Astorians think little of it, but it speaks louder-than language can express. We do not intend to belit tle Portland's Importance, but, Astoria, with her splendid harbor, will eventu ally occupy the position of the leading seaport city of the northwest. A merchant who is now a large and enthusiastic advertiser began business with the opinion that the exceptional merit of his goods would advertise them. "I have since learned," he says. "that It Is necessary to tell the people where to find the meritorious articles Now that the sea-dredge Grant is al most due, it Is to be hoped that the fine fall weather will continue, if for no other reason.

N. Laws, and the return home from the; grand aerie of Joseph Grib!err From 1:30 to :30 the festivities ventVri and the occasion was voted most successful. Recently Mr. Laws received a present presumably from Worthy Presidentllc- Glnty, of Chicago aerie. The present was a bottle of liquor and the package In which it came denoted that it had surely been sent to Mr. Laws by his friend with tha well known name. So Klfd was the recipient that he de termined to save the bottle for the cele bration of Sunday, that all the Eagles of Astoria might have a chance to sample the present. The surprise of Mr. Laws can well be imagined when Worthy President Herman Wise ex plained how the bottle came into the possession of the past president. Mr. Wise had secured a flask bearing the brand of the liquor house with which Mr. McGInty is connected, had filled It with liquor and then carefully wrapped it in a package that looked for all the world like a genuine express package. When the story was told the Eagles Ittughed heartily at Mr. Laws' discom fiture. The entertainment Sunday was better than usual, the Eagles' band being out. Interesting specialty turns were pro vided by performers from the Unique and generally the occasion was a happy one. . Before the session was concluded Mr. Laws was presented with a hand some scarf and pin, as a token of the esteem from the aerie. DENSMORE TYPEWRITER.
