It ie a comfortable thing to content plate, this railroad building, when one, two or more are headed right for one' own door. Atoria has the "A. & C", and it may be transposed into a tran- continental line one of these days that are fitment with the unexpected: she lias the Astoria-Seaside inter-urban com ing in good chape; and one of these two, or some other liue simply MUST build into the Tillamook country; the Lytl road i coming northwestward a fast as it can, with Astoria for a terminal on the west, and there is hot rumor of 1 northhore line into our suburb of Frank fort. What the dickens more can a city ask than this? If there is nothing in such a forecast, then had we better get in and build one for ourselves. Astoria gave the impetus to the one flue enter prise on which she is now a way-station, and she might contrive to start another line in whose future she would figure as one of the termini. WEAXHE2.

The Portland Journal has a good deal to say lately about Astoria's lack of in itiative and her duty in getting in and carving out her own success etc., etc.; the usual cry of the Portland press when this city has a glimmer of promise of commercial advancement The Journal, like all other papers in Portland. i naturally, working for the metropolis, which is the proper thing to do, and t be commended, and imitated. But the Portland influence, which, by the way is a very large asset in her communal calculations and achievements, is always, and altogether, with Portland, and di ametrically against this, and all other towns, in the state. Of course this is an old story, but its repetition nev-?r reduces the actuality of the status and, therefore, we are compelled to plead it in defense of such reproaches as the Journal indulges. If only the flood-gate of common sense and large mindedness would open and deluge the metropolis with an access of understanding that should include the principle that what i3 good for Astoria is good for Portland; that Astoria's progress is Portland's; that we are in the contributing class of communities, and not in the distributing; that she can win the good-will and com pensating affiliation of Astoria very easily by breaking down the code of selfish, corporate domination of every thing in the commercial and transporta tion way that might come to us but for her; that this city would respond quick ly and largely to such a policy of equable and generous assistance, Port land would be the instant and wholesome gainer. Astoria knows her limitations; they have been thrust upon her repeated ly for a quarter of a century; shj knows the measure of denial, how, and whence it has been wrought; she has seen her best hope and effort nullified time and again by the one great power of metro politan antagonism, and she is weary of the contest. She has everything to share, and she is loyal enough to the state to want to share it with Portland rather than with an outsider. But if this cannot be done, then she will give the glad hand to any conceivable agency, from anywhere, that will contribute to her development on lines she knows she has the right to pursue. 0 ASTORIA'S ORGANIC PUSH. There should be no real reason for Astoria's progress to be neglected or re tarded, considering she has six organic, public, and semi-public, bodies bustling for her. The Chamber of Commerce, the Commereiad Group of the Irving Club, the Push Club, the MeClure Im provement Club, the Shively Improve ment Club, the West End Improvement Club, and the East End Improvement Club. This is the fishing, and the vaca tion, season, and there is a lull in the activity of nearly all these "first aids to progress," but it is hoped that the hiatus will not result in any sort of collapse; that all hands will take a new grip when the idle days are over, and the business of the year opens up in the early fall. Astoria has some big irons in the fire that need careful, comprehensive and unified action, to bring to the "right heat," of achievement. "We ane restless people," says the editor of a Kansas exchange. "Every thin woman longs to be fat Every fat w oman wants to grow thin. Every town man longs for the time when he can re tire in the quiet of the country, and every farmer hopes to some day quit work and move to town, when he can take life easy. Country newspaper men would like to try their1 hand on a city daily. The fellows on the big dailies dream of a time when they can own a paper of their own. In youth we long for maturity, in age we yearn for the happy days of childhood. There is no excuse for it other than that we seem to be built that way. The grass seems to be just a little bit greener and thrift ier monst any direction from the place you occupy right now. Contentment is as near to happiness as you can get in this world." GUILBERT GOING TO LONDON. Will Make Her Debut as an English Actress. BRUSSELS. July 25.-Mme. Yvette Guilbert is filled with the excitement of anticipation because next season she is going to make her debut in London as an English actress. The plays in which she will appear are a dramatized ver slo of George Moore's "Esther Waters," made try the author of Edward Knob lauch and a comedy adapted from the German of Dr. Paul Lindau, one of the German editors who recently visited London.

The Cry Against Luxury By M. M. MANGASARIAN, Lecturer IFE is a luxury, and it doservca all the luxuries which man can conquer from nature with hia toil or his thought Tho cry against luxury is an evil symptom. It is tho old spirit 0 ASCETICISM U A NEW GUISE. Luxury is tho grat ification of the wants of the civilized man. It is not true that luxury degrades a nation. If the Greeks and the Romans perished, so dv the barbarous Parthians and the severely simple Spartans. The modern man is stronger and capable of greater endurance, not in spite of the comforts and luxuries of civilized life, BUT BE CAUSE OF THEM. , When tho life of society was more simple and severe men could not stand the strain to which the American or tho European is subjected today. But wealth, against which the reformers raiae their voices, has made human life decent Even liberty is born of better material con ditions. Prosperity elevates the masses. It is not "Messed to be poor.'' 1'UV.fc.iai, DISEASE. IS LUJS AT A LUW EBE Art, science, genius, beauty, are all luxuries, and yet how un profitable and fiat life would be without them.

They must walk and bend and work with racking pains and many aches from kidney ilK Kidneys cause more suffering than any other organ of the body. Keep the kidneys well and health is easily maintained. Read of a remedy for kidneys only that helps and cures the kidney and is endorsed by people you know. Mrs. John Close ,of 230 Commercial St. Astoria, Oregon, says: "I just as aid ently recommend Doan's Kidney Pills now as I did some three years ago when they relieved nie of a severe attack of backache and kidniey complaint. I never before used any remedy that acted so promptly and effectively as Doan's Kid ney Pils, which I procured at Charles Roger's drug store on Commercial St., My belief is that if this medicine fails to give relief to any one suffering from kdney roubles there is nothing else that will relieve.

Morning Astorian, 65 cents per month. t Often a person is sized up by his appear ance; by the tono that surrounds him. And more often a business house in sized up by tho stationary it uses. A cheap letter head or a poor bill head gives a mighty poor first impression and makes business harder to transact. Good printing costs no more than poor printing. Tho first im pression is half the battle in business. You wouldn't employ a "sloppy" sales man; why put up with "sloppy" station cry, that gives a wrong impression of tho importance of your business. Ixit us do your printing and help you to make that ten strike. The J. S. DellingerCo.
