Expansion is the rale of municipal development; without it no city can stake- the. offerings to the stranger seeking investment that are anywhere near in harmony with the limitations of the ordinary investment that the stranger is seeking to make. Astoria Baa her eastern and western develop ment and each is a credit to her, as well as her central and important self, but the day is at hand when she must have something more to offer something eheaper, something to grow In value, to expand upon, that the ordinary poor man may turn to for a start in life. At present she has nothing of thejsort. But she has the field, and it lies over the crest of her back-bone hill and mast be known (for want of definite appellation) as "South Astoria," All who understand the situation in this relation are of one mind on the con clusion that the development of that section is simply waiting for quick transportation, or, indeed, almost any kind of ready transportation. And this brings the subject squarely within the purview of the only agency at hand, the Astoria Electric company. We do not know, and cannot find out, the future purposes of this company. This project may be well within the scope of its smibitious program and we hope it is. And with this hope in mind, we beg to suggest that ne time be lost in the prosecution of the splen did undertaking. We are unable at this particular moment to estimate the ultimate profit to that concern, but we are convinced beyond all possible doubt, of the immense value that in time must accrue to the company that projects and completes it. Every thinking citizen of Astoria is fully conscious of all the "A. E." has done during the past 'eighteen months, of the heavy investment it has added, and of the hicrh quality of those Im provements, and appreciates it all, and must, perforce, take it as an augury for the doing of still better and larger things, and among them the opening ut of the, practically, unoccupied ter ritory to the south that is simply cry- in? out for development. A trans-peninsula railway line from the central waterfront of Astoria to the margin of Young's Bay, and a belt line thence around Smiths Point eitb er along the bay lever or one of the nearer northern avenues and running clear to Alderbrook, are among the leading essentials in the furtherance of this inevitable and wonderful scheme of local development and there is a magnitude of service and emolument involved In the undertaking that war rants the belief that not a great many months will elapse before the initial steps will be taken toward its nn- foldment. cal rates from Ogdea west, to Portland, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and ! tthere, simply because the connecting lines in the East failed to route the coast-bound pawencer via its service west of Ogdcn, There is a species of arbitrariness in such aa wdr that betokens rank con tempt not only of the law regulating rates, but of conditions besetting the ordinary long-distance tnmlcsj that i very grinding and insolent and rather an extratvnlinary exhibition illustrative of the well-known di.dain with which giant corporations regard mere law, and It seem to us, that if persisted in. the law and Ha champions are to b furnished with a wide-open opportunity for some very practical demonstrations of its actual meaning and supremacy. - e 11 ' . THE SEISMOGRAPH.

A German statistican has made a careful investigation to discover in which countries the greatest age is at tained. The German empire, with 55, 000,000 population, has but seventy- eight subject who are more than" one hundred year old. France, with few er than 40,000,000, ha 213 person who have passed their hundredth birthday. England has 14 Scotland 40, Denmark 2, Belgium 5, Sweden 10, and Norway, with 2,000,000 Inhabitant 23. Switz erland doe not boast a single centen arian, but Spain, with about 18,000. 000 population, ha 410. The most ama ing figure come from that troublesome and turbulent region known a the Bal kan peninsula. Servia ha 573 person who are more than one hundred year old, Roumania 1,084 and Bulgaria, 3. 883. In other words, Bulgaria ha a centennarian to every 100 inhabitants. and thus holds the international rec ord for old people.

It Is not one of thoe worn-out, weather-beaten play, but en tirely original and up-to-dat in every detail, and its uci-es i already e tablished.

The . latest production of the Muck Swatn Theater company, "The World," which wa presented last nijjht to a crowded house, surpasses all previous efforts of this excellent company; it IsK a cleverly written play, overflowing with interest, splendidly staged and admir ably acted. A story of ea and land, with the tang of the salt air and the roar of the breakers, the scent of green fields, and the perfume of the flowers; a glow of wit and humor, a tale of man's duplicity and womaitfs endur ance, a succession of dramatic surprises and intense and thrilling situations a series of beautiful and realistic stage pictures that oould scarcely be sur passed. Too much cannot be said in praise of this excellent production. The view of the main deck of an ocean eteamer at sea, with the explosion of an infernal machine and the total wreck of. the vessel, followed by the scene representing a ruft in mid-ocean, with the entire stage covered wjth heaving, tumbling waves, were the most real istic illusions ever witnessed upon any stage. The performance was perfect in every respect. , Cora Kmg Swain was a charming "Rose Ellison;" Mack Swain a delightful Irishman, and the entire company were excellent In their respec tive characters.
