Thi fmm Tuesday's issue of the Portland Journal editorial columns: "One would suppose from the Asto rlan's prolonged roaring over the Port of Columbia bill that It was something detrimental to Astoria, whereas Its passage would benefit that city as well as Portland and the Col umbia river region generally. Asto ria Is becoming too big and important a place to tie down its interest to those of a little coterie of pilots whose record is open at times to severe crit icism to say the least" Ever since the Portland Chamber of Commerce was delivered of its last and worst monstrosity, the "Port of Columbia" bill, the Portland Journal baa steadily barked- and barked about the "benefits" it would confer upon this port; but without once naming, or specifying a single item of that quality with which it is supposed to bristle. Aside from the fact that It does not carry a single providential or advan tageous element for the city, or port of Astoria, we have the deeper and farther reaching ground of contention, that the bill was framed for an end Its text does not Indicate In terms, bill which Is luminously apparent. The cllncning, for all time, of Port land's commercial dominance, to the utter negation and mln of Astoria commercial future. This is the crux of our fip'ht We know thjre is an early and ex traordinary future forthls place, and Portland knows it, even better than we do; and, having over-borne the situation successfully for half a centu ry, she is making this, her last and most unconscionable effort to hold fast to tnat which is inevitably pass ing from her. The day is at hand for the building of new cities throughout Oregon. Portland has eaten and thrived upou the tribute she has exacted from eve ry town and section of the state, un til she has but few real friends among the communities; though there are lime to deny her every claim to pre cedence and success, and all are proud of her as a metropolis. Unconscious ly, perhaps, she has become over weening, selfish, and arrogant and has injured herself materially in riding over everything rough-shod and ma ting but shallow pretense of interest and aid In and for her outlying neigh bors. Astoria has pride and purpose of her own and will not be gainsaid by Port land nor any other Influence. She la hewing to her own lln of develop ment and does not propose to be barred nor balked nor baffled by Port land any longer. That's all! EDITORIAL SALAD.

"Astoria is peculiarly fortunate In having the excellent service now ren dered by these beneficiaries and will not begrudge them a single cent of the raise. They are entitled to it If any one is. 8UNDAY TRAVEL TO PORTLAND Inereaooo ami 20 Hound Trip Rate via A. A C. R. R. Is Popular.
