We conies we have .never been able to account for the fierce ardor with which Portland clings to the shipping privilege of the Columbia. It is one of the problems that seem almost uncanny, and must be answerable solely on the score of communal greed, a phase of responsibility rarely attaching to com munities of Portland's size and wealth. Suppose, for the sake of argument, that the grain and flour fleets of the world ga the grain and flour fleets of the world gath ered, seasonably, in this harbor for their cargoes; that the grain came through from the great western belts in un broken bulk and passed from car to! ship in the first instance, at the dock', of Astoria. What p?ople, what wealth, .what commeiV'ial organism, what spon sorship, would prevail in the traffic! Portland, and Portland almost alone.' Astoria could not control the situation; (be has not men and means enough to swing, nor guarantee, the great opera tions; she might have a fair, but small interest in the trade, and might grow to achieve a larger share, but the ship pers and brokers of the metropolis, from their own offices there, or through their branch establishments here and here about, would still dominate the business, and what would accrue to this port by reaso nof the change, would be the simple and logical advantage of being the real port of Oregon; and from this sole and profitable circumstance we might grow rationally to a port of con sequence and maritime favor. There is no other sensible deduction to be made in this connection. We should serve the whole state, as its one splendid, facile port and the metropolis would hold it natural commercial control, minus the annoyance, cost, fear and perturbation to which it is subject now. And again, why should Portland ship pers always be subjected to the onus of a burdensome differential, direct, or indirect, when by concession in this re gard it could sway the huge business upon a SEA-BOABD rate basis or bet ter yet, upon a differential operating in favor of Astoria. It seems to us that Portland is stand ing in its own light in warding the shipping away from this port and nulli fying the supreme influence of the natural gateway that lies within the radius of its own organic power; by insisting upon the loss of time, and re lative cost, to ships, in the 200-mile tra verse between here and there. This idea has been held in Portland and in influential circles, and it might be wise to revamp the proposition and see what virtue it still possesses for the thoughtful and knowing ones who are free from the sheer stress of selfish ness. This is the Astoria view of the situa tion; and that she has indulged in any transgression of this simple doctrine, lies at the door of the metropolis whence all antagonism has emenated, on what soever line it has appeared. 0 A TEST 07 POWEE. It will pay every American citizen to study closely the procedure and outcome of the gigantic test of power about to be pulled off in San Francisco, & be tween the courts and the law of the land on the one hand and the millions of money that hedge the rich and con spicuous grafters, on the other. It is going to be a sheer question of the mastery of money when pitted in a des1 perate emergency by men of brains and position and will be an exhibition of tremendous interest and iiar-reachinjr results. The best legal ability of the State of California will be engaged on both side of the huge controversy, and only that Francis Henry is on the around and will be there until th i wrought, lends any saving grace to th situation. There will not be a hrvd of appli cable law loft unused when the we dose, and some startling innovations and radical conceptions of original legal doctrino will have gone to the strain and hybrid record. Sever, poritaps, will there be such an engagement again, inoe the effort at salvation by the grafter i actuated by extraordinary fear and desperation .on the one hand and almost untold wealth on the other. while the ccnernl result will stand for ever, and Indubitably, for, or against, the crime of public theft. It is going to be a tryout that will leave nothing whatever unexnloited . In the way of jurisprudence, and the verdict will be practically impregnable. If these men can find refuge and immunity from the fate impending, then will David Melds aphorism "We have too much law" be justified beyond U shadow of doubt. TOM RICHARDSON "EX." The announcement Is made that genial Tom Rkhardon, who baa figured o long and o happily . as the , matter boomer tor all things good in Oregon, and who la known in every hamlet and city in the commonwealth, is to aban don tha general field and take up the specialty of "apples" on his own hook. Just how such an all-round rustler, who for year has talked up variou and conglomerate things, with conviction, familiarity and fine success, can pin himself down to one meagre item, even the Oregon apple, is more than we can understand; but we are betting that he will make good and hoping while we bet. The Oregon apple is a thing to con jure bv and in the hands of a conjuror it should be invincible. At all events it has such a demonstrator as it never had before, and it will go to the fore front of the marketable marvels and soon occupy its once famous and undis puted pre-eminence, before the Oregon orchards were stricken with inanition for want of a ready market. Clatsop has only good wishe for the new com pany and hope to see it soon command- ina the world's admiration and traffic in its special line and "skinning" it way to the "core" of fortune; and that no "Apple of Discord" will ever find iU way into tne coinoinei o DID THE RIGHT THING. The co'unty court of Clatsop did ex actly the rinbt thing when it named a battery of attorneys to contest the Port of Columbia law in the courts of the land. If this peculiar Portland measure is to be forced upon us and we are to help support, the shipping bills of the Port of Portland, we want to know that all the law available has been applied to the thing and made it judicially hon est and practicable, and have some sop of justification for the dollars we ne- grudge. The whole thing, from its very incep ion. has been so lhiLTantly and specifi cally a local lever for Portland; its course in the legislature was so rawly dominated by the Portland lobby, that no man with the discriminatory faculty of a rabbit could fail to place and brand it: and its purpose, to thwart the na tural ambition and right of Astoria to the commercial prestige of the Columbia basins, so overwhelmingly plain, we are rraved again it from the one poor hour Ed. Wright spent in this city with the original draft of it, acquainting this populace with its beneficent program, nil we have not relinquished an iota of our disgust, and will not, though it pass muster in every tribunal trom tne Willamette to the Potomac, though, of course, we will obey the last legal in junction that reaches us ra this relation. V simnlv want all hand to know we are not altogether malleable to the dic tation of the Portland shipping ring ot ihich it is the arch-expression. 1 0' 1, 1 , 1 Will Cut Connmptloa A. A.

MUST ULTIMATELY YIELD Operator Conceed the Strike Will Last Several Week and Say Strike Zone May Be Extended Effort Toward Settlement Being Mat!. SAX FRANCISCO, June sC-Presi- dent S. J. Small, of the Commercial Telegrapher's Union appealed yester day directly to Clarence Mackay, head of the Tostal Tekgtaph Compnif. Small wrote a letter directed to offset the one written by Mackay to the offi cii! of the Postal Company in which Mackay commended the operators who refused , to turn out and condeumned th men who struck. President Mackay and the officials of hia company have enjoyed the es teem of the telegrapher, who said yes terday that they hoped that Small's exposition of the cae, from the stand point of the employee might be produc tive of peace. A possible step toward a settlement was made yesterday when the stri king operator appointed a conference committee of seven member. Including President Small, with a view of opening negotiations with the Western Unn an Postal Telegraph Companies. Al though the powers of the committee were not announced following it ap pointment, it is thought that the com mitte will be clothed with authority to . S A A arrange a basis lor the seiuemeni 01 the, strike. One of the instructions of the lioard will be to place the demands of the strikers before the heads tf the companies. The operators declare that the companies are seriously crippled and must ultimately yield to the de mands for a twenty-five per cent increase in wages. It is conceded generally that the strike was likely to continue for several weeks and the possibility of extending the strike zone wus also ad- j mitted. Officials of both companies declared yesterday that they were handling ex peditiously all the business that came to them. Both claimed gains in their staff of operators. mtrnmrnt To Have Real Swell I Time Shoes X The faraotu Hamilton.Rrown: H American Lady $2.00 ft President Gent 3.75 Five Members of So Called Trust Ar rested On Grand Jury Indictment.
