A. B. HAMMOND'S ENTERPRISE.
The news of A. B. 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

heads her way, there will, be a fierce

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

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

Marv Hswer wss sreatlv cast down
at this Information, but gained bop at I
th young man's promise. 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. .
