Ninety-three yeare ago today Astoria

Immediate comfort of the travelers,
and on May 11, 1111, finished their la
bor.
Ninety-three years ago It waa a mat
ter of small consideration that M years
later Clatsop county should have noted
a tout registration of 224; that the
grand lodge of Odd Fellowa and Re
bekah assembly of the state of Oregon
should be In session; that the monu
ment marking the resting place of the
hapless Donald McTavlsh, the British
governor, who was doomed to die seven
years later, should have Just been re
turned after having been awlped by a
patriot anxious to preserve the memory
of the British representative; that the
members of the Astoria Chamber of
Commerce should be experiencing so
much difficulty In locating the exact
spot on which Fort Astoria was erected.
The pioneers went ahead with the work
of constructing the fort, perhaps believ
ing it would be Intact 100 years later,
a stately monument to their seaL
From the diary of Alexander Ross,
one of Mr. Hunt' party, the following
la taken:
"The place selected (for the fort and
buildings) was studden with gigantic
trees, many measuring SO feet In girth,
and so close together and Intermingled
with hugh rocks as to make it a work
of no ordinary labor to level and clear
the ground. On the fourth day
after landing we planted potatoes and
sowed a few. garden seeds, and on the
16th laid foundation of first building.
Timbers on site too large and men went
back a distance for timber and carried
It on their shoulders. Eight men were
Harnessed for this purpose. In six
days they carried the timber for a store
60x21 feet.
"On 18th (of May, 1811), as soon aa
foundation waa finished, the establish
ment waa named Astoria."
And this simple entry In the pioneer's
diary tells the story of the naming of
the city whose history Is the history of
the progress of the United States gov
ernment in Its western achievement.

party over 3000 mile of wilderness and

Oregon City. Ore.. May 11 (To the
Editor.) The reasons political par
ties casting less than 25 per cent of
the total vote are not included In the
proposed primary nominating election
law are: No political party is In dan
ger of creating a boss until after some
of Its candidates have been elected;
It Is not likely to elect candidates until
It casts more than 25 per cent of the
total vote; up to that time Its nomina
tion of candidates for office Is only
one method of getting Ita ideas be
fore the people, and the cost of Its
conventions is a legitimate part of the
expense of advertising Its new ideas,
and should not be charged to the pub
lic treasury. If the smaller parties
were obliged to act under this law, the
only change would be to add some
what to the expenses and to greatly
Increase the work of the judges and
clerks at the nominating election. The
above are the reasons which Influenced
i the committee in placing political
parties likely to elect candidates In a
class by themselves. If experience

Judgment the law may easily be
amended In that particular.
As to the need for such a law, your
county may not locally need it, though
no more bitter complaint of machine
rule has been made anywhere than
have sometimes been heard from cltl
sens of Clatsop county. Multnomah
has no more bitter factional fights than
have troubled the people of Marlon,
Clackamaa, Lane, Douglas, Umtilla,
Union and Wasco, not to mention
othea counties whose troubles have
seldom attracted the attention of the
whole state. Factional fights for the
control of the party machine In the
principle counties greatly affect the
state government, and In that way re
act upon the people in every county.

that this estimate of a decrease may be
rather extravagant, but everybody ap
pears confident that the crop will be
very materially less than last year's. On
the strength of these reports the gen
eral sentiment In the west Is becoming
much more bullish. Late last week
prices advanced sharply all along the
line, and the better part of the gains
was maintained. There Is no question
that the shorts are very uneasy.
Jones, the Minneapolis wheat expert,
declares that the eight leading wheat
states east of the Rockies will fall 60,
000,000 bushels short of last year's
wheat production, and that at the best
the country will fall 20,000,000 bushels
inder last year. Expert Snow says the

not be more than 75 per cent of an
average crop.

Do Women Dress Men Well?

men's clothes are- not sufficiently de

he says, are women novelists contempt
uously Indifferent to their heroes' at

hand, observes the tailor, get no end of
attention, and he believes that the
