SEASIDE TO TILLAMOOK.
"Go away from home to hear the
news!" is an apt enough old adage, yet
not over popular with newspapers at
home, hut in the matter of the press
despatch of yesterday morning, announc
ing the early start on the Tillamook ex
tension of the Hammond line south from
Seaside, it is entirely acceptable and we
rejoice, with all Astorians, in the report.
It was told us ten days ago that the
Astoria A Columbia people would have
to get a move on, or suffer the inter
position of certain resourceful agencie
in this same project and it looks as if the
statement were true. But be that as it
may. the fact that the matter has been
determined and the immediate prosecu
tion of the work provided for, is the one
essential and satisfactory conclusion. We
believe that the new link will pay, from
the laying of its -first mile, and that
every mile laid will increase the ratio
of certain profits for the company. There
is an endless chain of development
awaiting the forging at energetic hands
through all the section lying dormant
between Tillamook City and Astoria;
the loccinz. milling, dairying, farming.
and fishing interests inherent to the ter
ritory, are immense, and need only the
vivifvine touch of such an enterprise to
quicken them into wide-spread activity.
It will be an incalculable advantage 10:
the people of Tilamook county in open-
iie for them a swift and ready outlet
for the abundant products that suffer
for want of prompt transportation to
outside depots and markets; and it will
benefit Astoria distinctly because Astoria
is. and will be for some time to coma
the very depot and market for it all. We
do not believe, for a moment, that the
line will stop at Tillamook for any
lenffth of time; we are certain the exi
gencies of railway strategy in Oregon
will make it imperative for the exten
sion to be continued to a connection with
the Corvallis & Eastern at a point some
where in the vicinity of Nashville or
Blodcett, in order to perfect direct coast
communication with the terminals that
line is destined to touch in the near
future. Whatever view may be taken of
the possibilities of the new line, it holds
enough of promise to make the people
hereabout Bincerely glad it is to be hur
ried to completion, and we will cherish
the alluring covenant until fruition
crowns our anticipation, or failure finds
us out as usual.

MAKE IT THE BEST EVER!
The coming regatta at Astoria should
be made the best ever given here, for the
simple reason that Buch events are al
ways supposed to improve with exper
ience and repetition ; and this is the
twelfth of Astoria's ventures in this line.
The committee must remember one thing
and that is, that no surplus money is
required at their hands after the balance
sheet is struck. What has been given
for the regatta was given to be ex
pended in making it entirely successful,
and the idea that an unexpended sura is
necessary or desirable as an asset, is
ridiculous, and would not be appreciated
one-half as much as a deficit, to be cov
ered by later subscriptions, if only the
event is pulled off with eclat and general
success. Spend the $000 you have; gen
tlemen, wisely, and widely, but make the
regntU one to be remembered for- yer
to come, and don't worry nmt return
ing a single dollar of the fund. Let every
jear, and every event, take care of it
self and stand ou it own record. You
make your record, the best purveyor
of popular amusement in the regittt:
program for 1006. and let the past, and
future, records alone!

SIGNIFICANT SILENCE.
The Portland Oregonian, in conformity
with its utterly selflh policy of never
saying a word that might be construed
as aiding the city of Astoria, iu any of
it enterprises, was silent as the grave
yrnterday in the mutter of the early
prosecution of the Astoria A Columbia
River Railroad extension from Seaside to
Tillamook City- although its evening
echo of Friday had an extended account
of the project and its bearing on the
euastwioe trade. It was peculiarly no
Unable, because the cituens of this city
who daily read the Oregonian looked to
its columns for confirmation and com
ment anent the important news. There
can be no doubt that the Oregonian i in
possession of a larger detail on the sub
ject than any newspaper in the state;
it 4 its business to know such things,
and its further and better business to
publish them; but it will trangress any
and all it rules, as a great journal,
rather than say or do a thing that might
contribute a morsel of encouragement to
this community. Tis the same old fear
of Astoria. The dread, and disfavor, with
which it contemplates anything that will
raise Astoria toward commercial suprem
acy in Oregon, for it realizes that such
an impetus, once given this city and
port, means grave detriment to the me
tropolis; and the mania begotten of this
ceaseless dread, has made it at nearly
silly as such influential papers ever get
to be. Well if the Oregonian can stand
it, we can; only there is something piti
ful about it that one hates to couple
with such a paper as that.

THE MEANING OF IT.
The expenditure of $."0,000 in direct
improvement of its plant in this city, by
the Astoria Electric Company, during
the year1 1906, is very significant. It
means that the company has implicit con
fidence in the city and its future; that
this investment will respond handsomely
in the way of ordinary profit to which
all businesses are entitled; that all the
excess power, for heating, lighting and
mechanical application the company may
have attained by the improvements this
sum stands for, will be utilized by an
increasing population that will bring
with it the industries employing such
power; that Astoria is growing, not
standing still; that she is accumulating
steadily, along all lines that make for
municipal expansion in enlightened and
successful channels; and this conclusion
reached, and proven, by one of its heav
iest local enterprises, should be comfort
ing to the Astorian with an honest in
terest in her welfare. That the company
has expended this big amount of money
with a view to reaping rich returns from
th investment, does not disqualify it as
an accurate judge of the conditions that
invited it.

What others think of you does not
matter. It is what you know of your
self that makes you happy or unhappy.

One William Keed has written a big
book setting fortli his proofs that the
earth is hollow ad that the poles are the
openings to a big hole through the earth
He thinks it probable that some of the
explorers who have gone in search of the
north pole, sailed into the center of the
earth and of course are unable to re
turn; and he thinks that if Walter Well
man reaches the north pole in his dirigible
balloon he will be drawn into the great
tunnel and will never return.
