Without nny de-ire to dictate in the premise- the Astorinn reiterate it conclusion that the ImiMinj: of the pro posed fwavmll for this city, upon what ever plan, is the co-onlinnte task of the city of Astoria and the Astoria i Co lumbia River Railroad. The intotvt and benefits are identical and insperaWe, and it seems the direct and feable awmi plishment of the project is cent red in 0 fair and square coalition between the two. Whatever of charter privilege i required to enable the city to proceed, may le taken so as to incorporate the dual action of the city and the mad and upon a fixed dcte-roiimition of the re spective fhares of cost, the work can proceed to a speely and businespvlikc finality. Details are always the subject of last adjustment, and a joint commis sion from the city and company could take efficient and sufficient care of that part of the program. The matter of adjusting the relative eosU of the pro ject, to each, i also amenable to the simplest rules of business, and even up on the hypothesis of the road building the entire system of wall, an anwnge-J J ment coold be effected to re imburse it by a series of annual payments in which I the rebate of the city tax might figure partially, at leat, and thus avoid the necessity of uttering long-time, interest- bearing bonds to burden the city. It is a safe hazard that the big and valuable .improvement will never be made without such an affiliation, and we counsel the early development of the plans along these lines, because we believe them in evitably right and practicable.

Six millions of dollars, net profit! This is the trenchant figure of the last Annual statement put forth by the Ore gon Railroad & Navigation Company, one of the latest, biggest, and most valu able acquisitions of the great Harriinan railway system on the Pacific slope. And no sign at hand that a single dol lar of this superb sum of clear emolu ment will be expended for advancing the business of the lower Columbia valley. West of Portland there is nothing, it appears, that is worth the thought or touch of expansion or development; and what of investment is made, will go to the cities of the Sound, while the one, great, logical route, by land, and water, to the farthest and best port of the world, is deliberately bottled up and ignored, until such time, in the dim and misty future, some untoward aggression shall compel the pulling of the arbitrary cork, and the salvation of the Harriman cinch in this rich section must needs be fought for. It is wonderfully cold blooded; this parcelling out of railroad territory, and its studied relegation to wilderness conditions of vast and teem ing belts of country, at the mere whim of a small group of men operating under a prestige abnormally great and power ful; nor is it unreasonable to comment harshly upon such a prerogative. Of course, this question cannot be con sidered without due estimate being made of the Portland influence, which, at all times and at all points, is diametrically opposed to Astoria and the territory she is supposed to stand for; but we are not touching upon the issue now with any restricted views as to the metropolis, nor as to Astoria; we concede the equities aa they apply to Portland, and only wish Portland would concede, a fraction of good-will hitherward, but that being be yond present calculation, we assert our interest in this huge question from the broader" basis of the general detriment it works to the forests, the farms, the milling plants, and the mines in tins trans-mountain sphere. That these should be hung up, pending the "seasonable" moment for their un foldment by the controlling railroad to which this territory is graciously allotted by the railway combine, is a matter of such menacing quality and proportions, that a sense of real and justifiable fright at the assumption of such power, is past all phase of wonderment. Thi, aside from the extraordinary injustice imposed in the edict and its performance and we may be pardoned for attaching profound and threatening significance to conditions that are ominously close to the deepest and largest interests within our natural sphere of progress and action. It is needless to harp upon these things; we are aware of the utter inadequacy of our poor protest in the premise; but, until we can fljjht In some tangible way; un til the weapon of competitive force and execution is within our grasp, for active reprisals, we slmll waiilfct our full and exact estimate of the unparalleled di psraiT' inent of our section whenever we feel so dlpoed.

The annual floods from out the moun tains are somewhat behind the schedule now, and w e may look 'momentarily for (the access of waters seeking sea j levels. From all reports there is a goodly quantity 01 snow east ot us to come out, and like a good many other things that pass this way, the quicker despatch it gets, the better for all concerned. We are not regulating the time and course of the floods, nor assuming to butt in on the prerogative; we are simply try ing to get next to the probabilities and do a bit of regulating on our own hook as to other important matters. 000000000000000000 0 EDITORAL SALAD. 0 000000000000000000 A year ago a Chicago woman brought a sui against a surgeon who had oper ated on her for a tumor and then sewed up a pair of forceps in her body This was regarded as something fearful, but other surgeons remarked cheerfully that "it often happened." Now comes a report from Webster City. Iowa, of a woman who was operated on for nppen dicitis and in whose body the surgeon sewed up a napkin. Perhaps we may yet hear of one who sewed up in his patient a door mat or a typewriter. These in cidents may go far to make "surgical operations" unfashionable.

I II e- IJ uojio A western farmer claims that he is now operating a cement block machine which enables him to make tile at a cost of two cents each for the small tile It's comine the time when the farmer will make his own tile, tanks, barn floors, fence posts and lots of other things and do it for less than he pays for the perishable things which he now buys and uses. o Another reason why the president hesitated to make public the report giv ing the awful facts about the alleged conditions in the Chicago packing houses, may have been because the special investigators have not yet made the final report. The proper training of a horse often represents from one-third to one-half of its value; hence it is a piece of bad man agement to take pains with the breeding of a colt and put it on the market in an unfinished and crude condition. o If a man has a bank account large enough to draw upon for the necessi ties and luxuries of life, the wife should be entitled to draw upon it whenever she sees fit and no questions asked. ; o The man who says "I'm afraid I J should fail" better not tackle the farm ; j the man who says, "I'm sure I should succeed" need have no misgivings, o An ounce of frankness and explanation is worth a pound of repentance and forgiveness, and will often prevent bit ter misunderstanding. o A man has invented and Is having patentd a six row corn planter.

Unknown Friends. There are many people who have used Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy with splendid results, but who are unknown because they have hesitated about giving a testimonial of their experience for publication. These people, however, are none the lesg friends of this remedy. They have done much toward making it a household word by their personal recommendations to friends and neighbors. It is a good medi cine to have in the home and is widely known for its cures of diarrhoea and all forms of bowel trouble. For eale by Frank Hart and leading druggists. The Simple Life is best. To live naturally; work diiriiiK the day, keep your temper, cat three meals and take a Beech nm's Pill regularly, as required. There is no medicine for the sim ple life, or the strenuous, like Beecham's Pills Hold Everywhere. In boxes 10c. and 26c Damage on Coast. Reports reached the city yesterday that a number of un finished dwellings that were going up at Oearhart Park and at Seaside were practically demolished in the gale of Monday night, but no particulars us to owners or locations were obtainable. If your stomach troubles you do not conclude that there is no cure, for a great many have been permanently cured by Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. Try them, they are certain to prove beneficial. They only cost a quarter. Sold by Frank Hart and lead ing druggists. 00()0000000X)0OOOOOOOOC0000000000000000 WAN TED Saw Mill Men, $2.25 per day.
