IDENTICAL AND INSEPARABLE.
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.

BOTTLING THE COLUMBIA.
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.

FLOODS ARE DUE.
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.

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. Chicago

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.

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

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.
