WHO'S WHO?
It is hard to tell, these days, just who
anyone is, so swift-moving and elusive
are the terms upon which we are living
and mingling in this country. In the
older nations, men, and women too,
have to be avouched for, socially and
commercially, before they can get very
deeply into the midst of things; but
here we permit appearances to sponsor
people and are satisfied with the vagu
est endorsement and are too hurried to
waste time in far-reaching inquiry. A
esse in point is that of Governor Ma
goon, of Cuba, who sent a man by the
name of Ferrers to the peace confer
ence at The Hague, and has had to sum
mon him home because the Italian envoy
there instantly and conclusively ivcog
nid Ferrera as a noted Italian anarch
ist, with an ugly record. It is this
supine idea of ours that things and
people are "all right," that swells the
history of costly and shameful imposi
tion for which we are almost famous
as a nation. We are smart enough in
other lines and hold our own with com
mendable grace and success, but when
it cornea to recklessly accepting the
fraud and the scoundrel we are notori
ously easy, and we are constantly pay
ing the scare of our careless indulgence.
Xow that his testimony has been
given in tht Haywood case it will no
longer, be necessary for anybody to re
sent the insinuation that witness Harry
Orchard is an undesirable citisen.

The doctors are advising against the
use of meat. In view of the present
market quotations, and the house wife's
daily experience at the gory block, the
advice is timely enongh.
More than a third of Missouri's coun
ties have complete rural delivery serv
ice. ,Xow let them facilitate the work
of the carriers, and their own, by put
ting the road in fine order.
N'early 8,000,000 tons of freight passed
through the Soo waterways in May.
Will Mr. Burton mention the amount
before the channel was improved by
government appropriations?
K new theory is that wireless tele
graphy is causing changes in climate.
If anvthine of tola nature can oe prov

instead of demoralized.
The political issues for which Mr.
Bryan has worked the hardest are those
he has ceased to mention, though he
talks a good deal.
CHUCK THE MOSS I
If Astoria and Clatsop county are to
figure Urge, and profitable, in the near
future; if immigration is to be attracted
hither, and held here after it arrives;
if investment is to follow the coming
of men who are seeking farms and
especial opportunities and particular en
gagement, then there has to be a sud
den and radical revolution in the meth
ods and spirit that prevail here now.
There must be a loosening up; the
properties that will be in demand must
be on the market, at rational prices,
ready for the man with money who
comes after them.
In the other works Astoria has got
to chuck her moss and get into the
midst of the market, just as Coos, Tilla
mook and other coast counties are do
ing, and have something to show and
and to sell when the investor appear,
and begin to realize on her holdings.
There has been to much of this sort of
disappointment handed out to visitors
here this year and there will be a re
acting against this whole district unless
the land-holder lets go and makes it
possible for the new man to get a foot
ing. There is a growing idea that we
are "mossy" around here, and if that
estimate is to be cancelled and the
"stranger within our gates" is to be
wTonught into a satisfied citizen, be must
find us amenable to his money and his
ambition; he wont stand for denial;
there are too many other points he can
go to and secure what he wants, and to
deliberately send him away, is cut
throat policy and will result in our de
feat in the contest for the very thing
we need most, more people and more
money, the . only agencies that build
up communities.
Railroads nor steamship will build
cities for us; it's the people that come in
the wake of these big concerns that
do the building; and they must have
something to build on, and with; and
if we do not furnish them with a mark
et, safe, varied, and rationally valued,
we are likely to figure as a fooligh peo
pie and unsuccessful. If a land-holder
supposes that he is going to make up
for all the years of waiting he has been
aubiected to, in the new price he will
get for his land, he will find another
spell of waiting coming his way, and
the decent, conservative value he might
not going about the world making good
the laches of people who are not smart
enough to sell when they can,
Astoria must wake up and put hev
eU in line with the developing en
ters of the Oregon coast country; and
she must do it quickly, or suffer the
legitimate consequences. There are too
many points to turn to for any one
place to assume to dictate irrational
value or discourair the immigrant we
are advertising all over the country
f.r. Market Your, lots, businesses ana
holdinct and advise the world of your
readiness to receive and welcome it!
