THE TELEGRAPHERS' STRIKE.
There is something immense and
startlini'Ir suggestive in the ide of
universally ailent telegrapher key in
this country; and that it what the
strike of the Western Union operative
means if it cornea to a bead, or pmcti
cally that, for the Postal service eannot
begin to cover the abandoned field. The
new of the dayv the market reeonle, al!
the elements of important daily infor
mation to which the world of men is
so accustomed, would cease; rail trans
portation, express service, the mailt and
all public intercourse, would be erip
pled, delayed, stopped or silenced, and
cities and towns and country-side would,
for the time being, live in, and of, their
individual spheres, knowing nothing of
the outside world. This, of course, if
the strike was carried to its ultimate,
which will not be the case, tt so intelli
gent a body of men as the telegraphers
know too well the vast deprivation in
cident to such movement and are not
J likely to impose it.
o
PROGRAM OF PREPAREDNESS.
Assuming that Astoria it to get all
she is hoping for upon the completion
of the Hill lines to the mouth of the
Columbia, it ia expedient that she adopt
a program of preparedness that will
place, and keep, her in instant and in
timate touch with the huge develop
ment alluded to. And this same policy
applies with equal force in relation to
the Harriman, or Lytle, enterprise ap
proaching us from the southeast. It is
,the duty of every Astorian with prop
erty to study the situations presented ,
by these big and advantageous under
takings and try to realize their bearing
on local conditions and markets, and so
direct the trend of affairs here as to
make the hour of achievement of these
railways simultaneous with the launch
ing of Astoria's real and rational boom,
or whatever the new uplift may be
styled. There must be an eaaing-up, a
general loosening, and an interchange of
ideas, so that the varied interests of the
city may be gradually moulded to the
exigencies of the new departure; prop
erties must be put on the market in
order that the outside investor may be
brought here with his money, and his
purposes be met with some show to his
compensation; mill sites and commercial
sites and sites for homes must be list
ed at fair figures and a chance be given
the man with capital who seek at
Atori the advantage denied him !
whew; the policy of "clinging" must be
abandoned and the realty market aiade
amenable to all the demands likely to
lie made upon it, for unlesa w lmva a
wid-onen realty field we cannot expect
to attract nor engage the investor from
abroad. If he route in here and finds
every thing under the dure of prohihi
tive value, and no lee at that, he is
not going to stay long nor leave much
behind him. We must prepare to wake
a situation that will be inviting at the
propitious hour if we are to take over
the prime advantage incident to It
Throw traditional custom and idea to
the wind and establish sew, modern,
up-to-date line upon which tw operate
for the benefit of, the 'man are to
secure, as well as for ourselves. It is a
Much a duty to prepare in this way
Is ft is to equip urselvea-for any sort
of venture in a Dwunest way; more so,
because this to the larger, mora com
manding exigency, and the time is given
us, while the reason art conspicuous
and imperative.
I j 7 ORCHARD . HAS ROT LIED.;; t
Day by day it 'is being made clear
that Harry Orchard (infamous a he is),
baa not lied in the tremendous story he
haa woven into the court record of
Ada county up in Idaho. One by one
the important leaient of his, story are
clinched and made effectively true, and
before he U discharged front the stand,
it is quite likely he will have certified
the but detail of hi awful history, even
at the hands of hia inquisitor, the
lawyer for the defense, who hav yet
to grill nim upon re-direct examination.
The farther the testimony goes the
worse it gets and the tatt doubt attaches
to it Truth-telling may be a newly
acquired virtue with this man, but he is
making the most of it and should be
duly credited with the extraordinary
faith he has kept with the state. If
Hie defense cannot do more than it has
done so far, to disparage hi word, then
he will go down to history as one of the
marvels of men who could tell so full
and profound a tale in itat entirety and
not -even blunder nor exaggerate; and
th proven record will be without paral
lel in the world of law.
THE GIFTS IN STORE.
When, in the fullness of time, there
shall be a line of fine wharves abutting
the channel of the Columbia, from
Tongue Point to Flavel, and from the
mouth of Young' River to Hammond;
and those docks shall be but gangway
to huge flour and lumber mill and im
niense warehouses and elevators, and
the shipping of the Columbia Basin shall
be berthed at these great utilties, day
in, and day ' out, during the busy years
(and, by the way, that fullness of time
is hardly two score months away), there
will be men sad and sore that they did
not invest in Astoria and Clatsop and
realize on what of certain information
i being dealt out to them, daily, now
adays. There will be others, rich, in
the van, of the new unfoldnwrnt, and
conscious of a faultiest wisdom that
prompted them to purchase realty and
businesses and all manner of interests
hereabout. Among these latter will be
the long-headed Portland merchants,
factors and speculators who have de
cided to enter this field with branch
houses and generous investment and
who are now quietly formulating their
wans and brnu'inir negotiations to a
point where thej will be safe and ens
ceptible of ready consummation. The
word has gone forth into all the corner
of the Pacific slope that there is to be
a big transition here before the end of
1909. and there are more still-hunts
afoot here than anyone knows of; and
only the man in touch with the lines
of investment know of the actual scope
of these embroyo ventures. A "word to
the wise," etc., etc.

In th puluion of Secretary of Agrl
culture Wilson,' the recent increase in
the price of meat! ia entirely natural
and even a further advance In price
may be expected. That th cost of meats
I greater today than ever before la eon
ceded but Secretary Wilson believe
that American prosperity t at th but
torn ot th situation. tThe people f
eating mora meat and the, farmer are
not raising at many eattl at formerly
There tt also an enormous export trade
which cut a great hoi in th supply.
Lest year we tent abroad more than
tt3,000,0t0 worth of animal, meat,
and animal product,, -, - . .
; It wa suggested to Mr. Wilson, Uwm
the price of meat wa du chiefly to
the determination of th meat packer
of Chicago to o far increase price a
to make up for the losses suffered by
the packer a a result of the meat In
spection law. .
"I dont think there ia anyiuing in

IDZ WHEELER TALKS.
Civet Out Interview In Regard To the
Japanese Situation.
XEW. , YORK, June 21. President
Bensmin He Wheeler of the University
of California, who i in town, believes
that the conditions on the Pacific Coast.
Insofar as the oriental people are con
cerned are very grave and present to
the resident a question that will not be
ea-ilv solved. In an interview .Mr.
Wheeler M: -
"It is not a question whether the
Chinese or Japanese shall go to the
same schools a- the white children,
neither is it a question whether some of
the Japanese have been ansaulted or
treated badly, but the question is one
much broader1 In its scope. It is simply
whether the people of the Pacific Co:ist
shall become inoculated with the orien
tal idea and plans of proceedure or
whether they shall remain on a truly
occidental basis. Shall or hall not the
Pacific Coast states suffer the same fnte
as Hawaii. Shall the states of the
coast be overrun with Japanese and
finally feel the effect of their presence
as it ia felt in the places where they arc
largely In evidence."

has quieted down until no sound is

Uncle Sam may apologize for San

Japan is wonderfully imitative, but it
