Portland is to be heartily congratn
lated upon the pledge just made by
President Goode, of the Portland Rail
way, Light & Power Company, to put
the vast system of wires incident to
that business, underground, as soon as
the conduits can be built, and it is hoped
every other concern there despatching
business over wires as a business, will
soon do the same thing. It is one of the
radical and immensely advantageous
changes that are devoutly longed for by
thousands of the largest communities
throughout the country, and every con
cession of the sort made by this com
pany, is irrefragable testimony of the
distinct value of the process from the
moment it is done. The seas of wire
that swathe the superstructures of our
cities are among the very curses of
modern civilization, especially in great
conflagrations, and in building generally.
The day should not be far away when
municipal administrative intelligence
will rise to a point where no franchise
will ever be granted that does not im
pose the underground method of distri
buting wires, expressly, and absolutely,
for all commercial purposes. , .Mt,,

It seems a bit odd that the United
States engineering department in charge
of the public works hereabout can easily
secure the services of a big dredger when
It desires to clean out the channel of
the Columbia river between Tongue
Point and the Portland docks, to main
tain the customary twenty-five feet of
depth therein (which is a good and
wholesome thing to do, by the way),
but can find nothing to work with when
Astoria asks for some assistance in the
clearing of the bar channels that serve
Portland as well as Astoria. But, laying
that aside, it is good news to hear that
the open river to the metropolis is to bs
maintained and that something is to be
done, even for the bar, at the same time
and by the same agency; and we may ba
reasonably certain that these thing9
will come to pass, because Portland
wants them; always, and imperatively,
at the bottom of anything that IS done
In this section, is the Portland desire
for it. It is a formidable and success
ful argument. Let the Portland pro
gram go on to the ultimate nf its best
principle; it must help Astoria, inci
dentally, if not directly and purposely,
and we are grateful for anything on
earth that has a tendency to build up
the Columbia river country, Portland
included. As the Oregonian has said,
repeatedly, "the trouble lies below As
toria" (meaning, of course, the Columbia
river bar, and the inadequate depths of
channel water thereon), but we are
puzzled to know just what Portland will
do when the river, the jetty, and all
other agencies, have set up a thirty-fivi;
or forty foot channel across that bar
rier, with only a twenty-five foot river
behind itt

It is expected that the regatta com

LIBELED AMERICAN WOMEN.
The opening address before the Ameri
can Medical Association, by Dr. William
X. Beggs of Denver, has aroued some
resentment in Boston, where it was read
the other day, on account of its sum
marv dismissal of what he called the
"new woman," meaning by that, ap
parently, the educated American woman
of the well-to-do class is a factor in tho
life of today.
"The modern woman,'' Dr. Beggs said,
must be disregarded in making up all
our estimates as to the future of tho
American people, because she has no
children. '"Her interest in the coming
generation is but a negative one, to say
the most," Dr. Beggs went on. It is
only the woman of the poorer classes.
he said, who must be considered.
Is this learned physician exactly right
here! The "modem woman," the well
to-do and educated wife is not child
less. ' Her children may be fewer than
those of the women of what Mr. Beggs
calls the "poorer strata." but as a rule
they survive. Statistics of graduate
from women's colleges who have married
show that as rule they become moth
ers. And whether their children are few
or not, they are by no means a negli
gible quantity in the development of
the country.
Moreover, the American-bom woman
of the "poorer strata" is scarcely bet
ter provided for in the number of her
children than the female college gradu
ate. Emergence from the poorer stra
tum, both in this country and in
Europe, is very apt to be the signal in
any woman's case for a diminution in
the number of her children, but also for
their promotion to a higher power of
survival and a greater relative value in
the community.
The American educated woman is not
so bad in this regard as she is some
times painted. Even now her children
sometimes rise up and call her blessed.

'JIIIU1'!.
Often a person is sized up by his appear
ance; by the tone that surrounds him. And
more often a business house is sized up by
the 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. The first im
pression is half the battle in business.
You wouldn't employ a "sloppy" sales
man; why put up with "sloppy" station
ery, that gives a wrong impression of the
importance of your business. Let us do
your printing and help you to make that
