Official paper of Daleop eouaty and IbeCit; of Aauvla. e) WEATHER. e Oregon, Eastern Washington and Idaho Fair and warmer. a) "WHIPPING THI OEVIU" The following, anent the Port of Columbia law, appeared In" the col umns of the Portland Oregonlan of SaturJay last; "Through the Indifference and lack of Interest of the Astoria people, who controlled the service, these burdens had become so onerous that, four years go, the International Sailing-Ship Owners'-TJnion, an organisation con trolling four-fifths of the sail tonnage of the world, levied a differential of SO cents per ton against Portland and In favor of Puget Sound on all grain vessels coming to this port. On de mand the Ship Owners' Union supplied the Portland Chamber of Commerce with details of the disabilities of the port on -which the differential was based. These disabilities were taken up one by one, and with the single exception of bar pilotage, which Is not compulsory on Pugct Sound, all were removed without the necessity of special legislation." The thing reads up pretty well to an outsider, a man who Is not fam iliar with the history of the matter in question, and who cannot Judge the issue In the light of all the circum stances that bear upon it honestly and are inseparable from a conscien tious review of It. But it lacks the proper color and substance and as they are so easy to supply, we venture to add a few facts that have been left in the background; For Instance, the fact is notorious that Astoria has never been indif ferent to the situation here, I'or lack ed interest in the pilotage matters, and though the pilots are, raturally, in, and of, this place, and of sheer necessity maintain their hf adVjuar ters here, the laws of the state have been at the head and front of offense, If any there was, as to the cost of pilotage. The whole marine world knows this to be absolutely true. Portland has dominated every atom of the businesss through her Influ ence In the markets and on the boards of trade of the northwest; she has done all that was ever done, In Con gress, the legislature, and the Cham bers of Commerce hereabout, to main tain her own position and prestige as a seaport, to the denial and ob literatlon of Astoria; always, and fiercely, contending against the nat ural right of this city and port to sway so much as a dollar's worth of the splendid business. She has trembled, many a time , ' when It seemed that things were turning As torlaward, in a commercial way, and fought bitterly and doggedly to retain the power and potency she had wrung from the sea, before Seattle . and Tacoma grew too great to be further Ignored. The pilotage on the Sound is, and has been, free to all mankind, and 'it was this immense advantage, and nothing that Astoria ever did, that urged the International Ship Owners' Union to demand some advantage to meet the situation on Puget Sound, and which resulted in the Imposition of the differential of 30 cents per ton against the grain shipments out of Portland and the Columbia River; and that Portland might retain her place as a seaport In the northwest, she met It, and bore it, until it was lately absorbed by the O. R. & N. Com pany, and they are about to gfat it, and are ready to lay down and sell out It is this impending withdrawal of the factor that saved the Portland situation that urged the framing, and the sneaking passage, of the Port of Columbia bill in the legislature last winter with all Its burden of taxation upon communities utterly foreign to the port that is to be benefitted by the proposed law; and which has ueooim a stench In the nostrils of the state since its outrageous features have been mad known by this and other papers. It Is the earne old fight between God-made port at the very marge of the fte, and the big ..ambition of city up two rivers and US miles from the coast; the Inland port has had things her own way for long yearn and now she has a rival In her own state, a natural, feasible, rational (port, long snubbed and over-borne. but now In line for full and final adaptation to the great service and dutj ordained of fate, and withheld from her only by the dominance of numbers, and wealth of the me tropolis. , : :. :r The common point rate on grain t the only thing we have not In the great schedule of commerce, and this will be extended in good time. It Is not possible tor Portland to longer deny this factor; In fact her day of denial Is just about ended so far as Astoria and the commerce of the fu ture are concerned. Astoria has been too small, and al together helpless, In this long-borne war against Portland's ambition, to be charged with anything beyond a natural effort for recognition at a port, the one essential thing that she Is, and which Portland is not, and never will be, when other agencies than those exerted at the metropolis, shall supervene.

APPEARANCES Often a person is sized up by his appear ance; by the tone that surrounds him. And more often a business house is sized up by the stationary it uses. A cheap letter head or a poor bill head gives a mighty poor first impression and makes business harder to transact. Good printing costs no more than poor printing. The first im pression is half the battle in business. You wouldn't employ a "sloppy" sales man; why put up with "sloppy" station cry, that gives a wrong impression of the importance of your business. Let us do your printing and help you to make that ten strike. The JrOellingerOo. ASTORIA, OREGON ; ail erarn -imp oonttlsfnf eplstes aeett Bit tb bowtli.
