It sup plies the commercial breath upon which the civic body thrives, anit ac cording to the regularity and volume of that breath, does the corporation build up, or lanqulsh. The heart of a city is, of course, her wealth and its energetic application by prideful and energetic citizens. Given the resources and the public Bride, any community will flourish si long as the means and the popular interest are kept from stagnating. So It is here. Astoria has much to thank her chamber of commerce for in the past: and she has much yet to at tain, and unless this active agency ; kept in working shape and fed con stantly by the fires of local ambition, she must expect to be passed by, a all mute and inert thing-" are. There is a movement on foot to merge all the active agencies of this municipality into one large, organic, useful and effective Chamber of Com merce, and for the good of Astoria, we hope her citizens will stand by the new departure and make the name of Astoria felt in source of public benefit known. For some time a hand ful of interested citizens have kept th.- old chamber from actual dissolution, and it is high time the rest of tlr? citizenry was "sitting up" and tak ing tangible interest in her immediate future. To get things, she must go after them in consecutive, comprehen sive, authoritative! fashion and her Chamber of Commerce must be made all such an appelation signifies. It Is not the duty of one man, nor a group, nor of even an Idle many, but of the whole citizenry. Prepare to get a move cn! Arouse pride and in terest and ambition, and get in and demand things that belong here ,and know just why Astoria does not get them! tics cf the ncRVii Is :U all siii'niod at the development of 11 conspiracy anions the black soldier at Fort Keno.

Just one more overt act at t-ort Heno will set the race tires ablaut and there will be something doing that will invoke the utmost wisdom and good cltlenshlp of the whole coun try, and tax the resources of the gov ernmental discipline to the last frag ment of efficacy. Race troubles are In the very air, and any expedient tha will tend to mitigate the aUuatjim such as Anally sending out from the country the elements most intimate ly warped in the nasty mess, Japanese and all. DKVT Li TIM I It BALD CONTUMACY. The hold-up of the New York bal lot boxes is one of the baldest things of record lately, and Is likely to put the national metropolis on the pin nacle of things moderrdy raw and vi cious. The outcome of the affair will be watched with the keenest Interest all over the country and the triumph of the law most devoutly huiked and longed for. It Is one of the worst of the bad breaks In things electoral that has been noted for years past, and its issue is rich in extraonlln- try possibilities, n mey are xorcea 10 the front. Such contumacy is un paralleled. a:;d the lesson to be drawn from the incident, will be one that will land forever, for the good, or bad. cf the nation. It is an evil that strik squarely at the very root of American freedom, and the whole machinery of the state government and of the na tional disciplinary forces as well, may well be employed in righting the tre mendous mendacity of lite thing. Toi erance with such matters Is intoler able, so to speak. SOME INTERESTING FACTS SHOW ING THE EFFECT OF WATER TRANSPORTATION VERSUS RAIL HAULS IN EASTERN OREGON. EDITORIAL SALAD. A hundred years ago too "enterpris ing" merchants were ducked once for every missing ounce. 0 Money will buy everything but hap niness and furnish transportation to every place but heaven. 0 The financial column says that "money is easy." but the trouble is the man who has It is not. A stage luminary urges that rich men support the stags more. That's the charge against a lot of them now. 0 After all it seems that happiness is but a toss-up between a married man's warning and vice. a bachelor's ad- Superlntendent Frank J. Smith of the Open Utver Transportation Com puny, reporting (o his officers and dl iictors for HtOti, has the following very tertlnent fucts to show In favor of the water haul and everything (hat ci ntrlhutes to Its expansion ami maln- muice. It Is 11 revelation, pure and simple, and must have Its weight In lb minds of all thinking Oregonlans with whom such matters are of any foment at all: "Purlng the present season of the fall of 1906. the Open Hlver Trans I ortatlon Company handled ronslder- rrlo grain at a rate ranging from thirty to forty cents per ton less than rates In effect on rail line. Merchandise was transported to rlv- ii towns ana also 10 interior ponuv that were reached by wagon haul. The consignees at liver points received their shipments at a saving of from hlrty to fifty per cent below rail rales to the same ioliit.

We are glad, for the sake of Ore gon and the Republican party of the state, that the incident ho closely touching the character and status of Hon. Frank Davey, arising from his untoward absence from the capital the other day, has straightened it self out, and left no element of trou ble for the party. Frank Davey is a man not easily tricked out of any thing he is after, and if, as is sup posed in many quarters, the hue and cry was started by his rivals for tlr; speakership, then he has beaten them to a lasting finish and will take over the dignity with an aplomb infinitely greater than if he had simply walked into it without the intervention of such an unmanly trick. He will make ;,n ideal speaker and do his best and honest duty by every man and inter est in Oregon, and do it fearlessly and squarely, and it is a matter of wide spread congratulation that the ugly in cident closes where it does. We wish him unqualified success in lii.s admin istration and Clatsop will be riwht behind him in the achievement of that, success.
