" 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.
