" OUR SLOGAN CRY- " ; 'Common point rates for Astoria" Is an old logan cry of Astorian. and as time passes on it becomes more and more apparent that the claim Is well founded. Nor do the people of Astoria ask anything which, in Justice, they should not have. ' Comparing Astoria with other cities of the Northwest, from a geographical standpoint. It is found that she stands relatively to the coast with Grays Har bor, Tacoma, and Seattle. She is near the great wheat field of the In land Empire as either of them, but a nature has happily provided, is situated so that it is a "down-hill pull" from the great interior to our "city by the sea." In other words, Astoria is, in a straight line, a near as our sister towns of Washington to the products that are to be shipped by the great waterway, but. in truth. Is enabled, to get these pro. fticts to ships at Astoria with less than one-third of the effort. This is a plain, simple truth that even a new-comer to the city of, Astoria must grasp at once. With this in view, what should Asto ria people expect? Common point rates for the interior products, of course; differential rates for Portland, for Port land is much nearer the grain fields than Astoria. Both would then enjoy like privileges and Portland would be placed in a position to pay the producer better prices. Astoria could equal those paid at the common points in Washing ton; the farmer would reap the reward to which he is justly entitled and the crofDeritv of the producer would be visited upon those who had labored to bring about the better conditions. Plainly put, these are the hard facts that are confronting the people of the . rreater Dart of Oregon. It would, in the end, mean as much in proportion for Portland as Astoria. It would not lessen the necessity for a better bar and for a deeper river. It would'mean cheaper railroad rates, however, which in all equity the producer ha a right to ask. The matter under discussion is an old one to Astorfana, but one of which they should never tire of discussing. Open and above-board consideration, by alt classes of all sections interested, ought to eventually secure the relief asked for. And, with due regard to the rights of all. The Astorian shall continue to present Astoria's side of the situation from time to time, hoping to aid in the final consummation of her wishes. I , SENATOR, FULTON'S ATTITUDE. Senator Fulton is throwing himself into tie country's business with an en thusiasm and good sense that Is deserv ing of much credit, says the Deschutes Echo. In the first place he has not cur ried favor with the administration at the expense of Oregon, as he might have done. Instead, he stalwartly sought to bring the administration to a perception of the wrong that Hitchcock is doing to the good name and property interests of this state. The corruption of the interior department and the for est reserve policy have drawn to Oregon a hetergenoous clas of forestry scrip speculators whose sole stock In trade is information from Washington obtained by bribery. Concerning this line of work, Fulton has said things that have penetrated Richard's thick skin and caused him to send Pinchot to the coast to lecture and. to inspire the recent 'series tl articles on reserves which ap peared in the Oregonian. Fulton has also declared his intention to work for the Nicaragua canal, as against , the Panama canal, and show the corrupt beggars of Colombia that they are deal- ing with a nation, that has a motto or "no tribute" for nearly a century. Tne policy ndvocated by Fulton is the only manly and effective method that our country can now pursue and his at titude is eminently statesmanlike. The situation in the Cripple Creek district, Colorado, ha been attracting general attention for some time past because of the fact that the militia has bn trying to inaugurate martial law in that region, in an attempt to break the miners' strike. In the meantime there has been a contest for supremacy between the civil and military author ities. When strikers or those who sym jnUilr.fd with them were arrested by the militia, little difficulty was experi enced in swurlng their release upon be ing brotfght before the district court. Those arrested remained in durance vile but a short time, few of them over twenty-four hours. Suits for damages will, it 1 asserted, be Instituted by many of those who were incarcerated, on the grounds of false imprisonment, and prominent attorneys express the opinion that they have good- cause of action. The military authorities also placed under arrest all the employes of the Victor Record, because of the paper's attitude,, but the district court released them under bond. A dispute lias arisen between some of the officers of the state militia and the governor, i and on of the commander is being ccurtmartlaled. Meanwhile the cut ten ut the centennial atate are com plaining bitterly of the enormou ex panse entailed through the use of the militia In an effort to disrupt organised labor in the mining field. A pre report states that the strik ing miner near) Birmingham, Ala., against whom an injunction was Issued renralnlng them from holding public mines and tent there every day, Bible and hymn books in hand, and held re ligious service. During the meeting a collection was taken up for the needy miners. An exchange says: The cost to the union printers of North America for maintaining the Printers' home at Colo rado Springs from June 1, 190i"to May 1, 13. was J6C000. It ia the hand somest Institution of Its kind In Amer-" lea.." Joe Gans wants to fight Joe Walcott. The .winner should be matched against a grlssly bear in a finish fight, for no white man can have an equal show with either of them, weight considered. More manufacturing rfhd more saw mill for Astoria means more business, more mouths to feed, greater growth, more readers for the newspapers, a greater population, a larger town. Vacant lots in the business section of Astoria do not augur well. Why not build on them People will rent the building. Some one will make the im provement if given the opportunity. Astoria i in a forturate position to enjoy an era of prosperity. She has had no boom of late year and any growth is but the result of natural con dition. Seattle is reported as dull. She had a boom which means that she advanc I ed ahead of her business. Now the ' climax is reached and natural condi tions cause slack times. W. R. Hearst has concluded to estab lish a new daily paper in Lo Angeles, Cal., and the first issue will appear some next month. WEST SIDE NOTES. Hiram Gray is confined to his home with a severe cold.
