Hammond's pur pos to erect a big mill, of 400,000 feet capacity per day, on the FlaveJ water front, while it pleases everyone here about, does not surprise us, because it is no secret that lie 'owns Immense timber interests all about here," that must be logged and milled and sold dim day. It goes without saying, .that in selllngthe A. & C. railway, Mr. Hammond made substantial reserva tions in this behalf; and that he should inaugurate the venture So soon is only another expression of timeliness in meeting the developments that are ab solutely certain to materialise at the hands of Mr. Hill in the near future. The ' Hammond Interests are very large and extend Clear into the Tilla mook country and up the Columbia, and that he should Initiate a plant at the mid-way point, a point that en sures Instant despatch by rail and aea to any given destination In the world. Is but another evidence of his pro found wisdom in planning his share of the marvelous enfoldment of this county, country and port The-people here will not know for years all they owe to this man's for-slght and nerve la coming out here In the first place, but when the realization Is common property, this whole section will" be j teeming with splendid, flourishing en-i terprises drawn hither by the sign and proof of A. B. Hammond's faith and courage. : ; " ;v " ' ' "' : All Astoria has to do Is, to kindle her own faith and summon her own courage, and do for herself as others are doing for her. lassitude, indiffer ence, delay' and temporizing must be cast aside and the local energies be put In trim, and train for the' bright future that has dawned. Her people! must create an available market for the investing world and not make that market prohibitive and inopperative by extravagant values " and undue prescriptions. She must invite, be ac cessible, and have a welcome for ev erybody bound- to this direction. ' It is well for her that her Chamber of Commerce has employed a man of broad experience and capacity for di recting this phase of her new work, and she must hold bis bands up and keep them full, so that he can make good when the people he has won this way, shall reach here. ' The lines are being hewed out clear ly and directly and ' If Astoria" is alert, opportune and aggressive, there Is uvujuib iu vauiiui . iio-ve. jar. fiazn mond is but showing her the way. Agent Burns cannot, and do hot, find out and punish, is simply waiting Its turn, , , . I. : ; "v If Heney lives long enough ho will unearth all the rottenness in the of (lolrtl lite of Amerteft, and It U hoped, profoundly, all ovr this territory, that he will live for, many a year. Portland wants htm next, and It 1 quite likely she will get him. Ones he heads her way, there will, be a fierce hustling under cover, and Innumera ble disappearances that will docelve no one. To run from Heney Is to con confers to Heney, and to confess to Heney sems to be the only safe line of action left for the wrong.doer. Of course . Astoria does not need a Heney. No ctty does until . he has looked it over. I , ... , ; A DERNIER RESORT. The forty railways west of Chicago now threatened with the strike of the century, have, as a dernier resort, dug up the Erdmann Act of 1S98, which provides for the arbitration of all la bor differences that Involve Inter-state commerce, and will Insist upon its ap licatloh in this hour of their danger and trouble. In many ways' It Is an excellent thing to, do, and It Is quite likely the gov ernment will meet . the situation squarely and use the taw to lessen the rigors of the Impending tie-up. And It may be said in passing, that It will do so only to save the people from the hardships certain to be Invoked by such a wholesale strike, and not par ticularly in aid of either party to the engagements C .... So far as Is known the Erdmann law has never been used before to any great extent, and It Is in a fair way to demonstrate Its real value now. And If It shall but lend affirmative testimony of the immense worth of arbitration as &n expedient, it will Evacuation day was celebrated with ceremony In Boston, Everybody who could tok the early trains out.

On rnlug soon after the accession of King Charles II. of England a young girl called at th palac of Whitehall and begged to see the sovereign. She would not nave succeeded bad It not been that h was leaving to go to the rooms of bis mistress, Lady Castle main. Charles, passing th girl, who was evidently suffering from some great mental strain, asked her what she wanted. "Oh, sire, glv me th life ot my brother, Arthur Hewer, who Is to be executed tomorrow oa Tower hill" Hewer had fought on th side of th parliament, and upon th restoration certain parties high tn power deemed It expedient that be should b put to delta. The king was not a blood thirsty man, but a great' admirer of beautiful women. Mry Hewer, who was beautiful, gained from" him t promise that her brother should' be pardoned. Then th king, passed on. Mary, delighted, was about to hurry away when a courtier, young Sir Rich ard Vyuer, called to ber.

The next( morning th received a message from hint saying that the king had not 're turned to the palace, and be feared he would not return In time to order th pardon sent to th Tower before th hour of execution. Hewer was to be executed at 3 o'clock In th afternoon.' In those days all people, th highest and th lowest, attended these executions, for which places were engaged ahead. In a diary of a prominent man who then flour ished Is an entry, "Engaged a place for my wife to see the execution, then went to the office." When the hour for the tragedy cam the prisoner was conducted to the scaffold, from whence be looked down upon a sea of upturned faces. There were dukes and bakers and tallow chandlers. A few minutes before 3 the Tower chaplain offered a short prayer for lb prisoner's souL Then as the execu tioner stepped forward a young man tn the canonicals of the Church of England produced an order from James, duke of ' York (the king's younger brother), that be should be permitted to pray for the condemned man so long as be desired. The young clergyman then knelt and began to pray;. ' : A half hour passed, when the lieu tenant of the Tower Interrupted tbe clergyman, reminding him that the spectators were getting Impatient for th execution. Tbe young man drew the duke's order and pointed to the words "as long as he desires." The king's brother was too high a person age for bis order to be disobeyed, (b the lieutenant stepped back, and tbe clergyman went on with his prayer. .
