DEATH OPENS THE SEASON.
In the course of a four-month sea
son of salmon fishing, it might W far
too much to hope that death might
not enter the list against the brave
and skillful men who follow the juiniev
quest; but we had not dreamed that
the first hour of the first day would
furnish the first chronicle in a 'double
catastrophe such as overtook Colonel
1X Long and John Wray, off the Long
Beach sands yesterday morniug. The
Astoricn, along ,vith the whole const
people, can but deplore the unhappy
tragedy of the sea, and go on hoping
apaint its repetition. Death is a grie
viona thing at all tunes, liut it is
doubly potent in its weight when it falls
upon men in t he open pursuit of a manly
trade. May a kindly fate fore-fend a
further visitation of this kiitl tlii-
year.
EDITORIAL SALAD.

LOOKS LIKE BAD FAITH.
After having arranged, a basis for the
entry of the Fottland & Seattle road
into the metropolis, upon a convention
acceptable to both parties iu interest,
it looks mightily like a. ease of wilful
bad faith on the part of the Port of
Portland Commission to raise a new
set of exactions and stipulations and
demand their concession before the Hill
lin 'will ke granted its entry into
the city of Portland. It is, no doubt,
only another phase of the Harriman-Hill
fight, but even if it be, it still bears
the semblance of a deliberate piece of
chicanery and is undoubtedly inspired by
the 0. R. & X. influence which so no
toriously dominates Portland and every
element of her government. Th 0. R.
& N. is "the main push" up there and
what it says, goes But, all the same,
it will make its one vital mistake some
day, and when it does Astoria may reap
the benefit of the error If the Port
of Portland Commission will only fight
James J. Hill hard enough and long
enough he may turn his eyes toward
the west gate of the state and do busi
ness at this port in a fashion that will
chill the commercial marrow of Port
land and render her utterly sick of the
power that has cinched her for the past
long years. The present moment and
the present pivotal issue may contain
the germ of her undoing, for bad faith
is pregnant of ill results, and if the
pending action of her port commission
shall react in her discomfiture, there
are but few in the state to lend her
any sympathy. There is no exemption,
in favor of cities nor men, in the mat
ter of keeping faith.
o
EQUITABLE POLITICAL TEMPERS.
The new and untried phase of the
Direct Primary law as they have de
veloped in Clatsop county,' to date, are
remarkable for the pronounced equa
bility with which the men with all at
stake have retained their political tem
pers. There has been practically no
"mud-slinging" of any sort, from any
source; and the campaign promises to
wind out minue any exhibition of per
sonal feeling whatever. This is as it
should be, but there is a season ap
proaching when the real test of the hour
as applied to individual conceptions
and prejudices, will sorely try the men
who are returned unchosen of the peo
ple as nominees. Then it will be, that
the true spirit of party will manifest
itself, iu the actual, honorable person
al good-faith of those who do not cap
tjtire the prices, in their subsequent
treatment of those who do. Party loyal
ty imposes the rule of square and
manly consideration on all sides, and
we have no doubt tne edict will be ful
ly and universally met in the hour of
defeat as in the hour of success. At
all event, it furnishes an opportunity

Republican Candidate for Governor.
Dr. Withycombe is widely and favoably known throughout thia State. His
residrnce of nearly twenty-five years has given bim a ripe experience as to
the needs of every industrial interest. He is a champion of better market for
the products of the farm and factory; better roada, and open rivers.
He has been a staunch Republican from the time he became old enough to
cast his first ballot. His slogan for the campaign is "An honest and fearless
performance of public duty, a greater and united Oregon." Thus is in accord
with the sentiment of "a square deal to every person and to every interest."
He believes that this sentiment should pervad;; in tangible form all policies
of our state government, especially eoin matters of taxation, and for a ra
tional regulation of public utilities.
Dr. Withycombe is a man of executive ability, of unquestionable integrity,
and if elected will give an administration that will be characterized for its
morality, strength and justice.

Xow that watches are carried almost
universally, any man who has one has
an excellent compass if the sun 'can be
seen. All that you have to do is to
turn your watch into a coinpas is to
take it from your pocket and hold it
so that the hour hand will point to
wards the sun, when a line from the cen
ter of the watch, bisecting the space
between the hour hand and the figure
12 will point directly south. To illus
trate, you are hunting, or something
and have lost your bearings. You take
out your watch and find it is four
o'clock. You hold it so that the hour
hand points to the sun. The figure 2 is
half line between 12 and 4 and a line
drawn from the center over 2 is south.
