Since speculative times have ceased, or, rather, are arrested, and since wo are getting down to close figur ing in matters of business, it must be conclusive to every mind that there can b no successful competition by a route over tho mountains to the sea with an easy route from the interior on the watet level Tho harder tho times and closer the margins, the better for us ia this regard. The opening of the great Columbia water route will enable all products to coma through to Astoria without breaking bulk."

WE MUST PREPARE. - The word has gone forth that the City of Astoria and the County of Clatsop are on the eve' of good and great things. The warrant of our bright (future is out and it must be made good when the .people whj shall hear and respond, come out from the East and Middle West to cast their lots with us. We must have something to offer them; home lot, in town and country; farm ing lan is in big and little parcels and special opportunities for special invest ments, dairying, fishing, lumbering, and all other lines of commerce. We cannot turn them away from us because there is nothing for sale here that they want. That would be suicidal and the very antithisig of good business. There must be an unlimbering of the old-time hold ings here and hereabout. We are paying $10,000 a year to our Chamber of Commerce fund and people, to urge the tide of immigration this way, and we cannot, dare not, stultify ourselves and their good work, by re fusing to give these newcomers a chance to live among us. We have all they want; and we must see to it that they shall not have come here in vain. The market for lands and commercial investments must be open and easy and wide, with such a variety of opportuni ties as shall convince the newcomer that we are strictly in line with the world's progress and ready for anything in the way of advancement and snappy realiza tion. To do less than this is to negative all that we are doing and spending to this very end. LOOSEN UP, EVERY BODY J WHY HOT IH 1907? Why must the Oregonian give chary championship to the miserable subter- j fuge known as the Fort of Columbia law, now pending in the supreme court on the question of its constitutionality, when it has but to recall the stalwart . . . . , , i, . ' ana wnoiesome aocinne enunicaiea dj its master-mind, that of Eon. Harvey W. Scott, who, in 1894, told the people of Astoria the real and unvarnished truth, in an open talk on the same subject-matter, towit, the expediency of the water-level haul from tot wheat-bait to the seat It has but to revert to Its files for the issue of the Uth of October of that year, to find the following honest statement most honestly made and as honestly received: "Tho destiny of Portland and Astoria it common, We have a common future. Wa must assist each other. There can be no rivalry between us, but each should work to a common end. That end is tho development of Oregon and the creation of a great commonwealth, "Astoria is tho seaport of Oregon. Nature has so ordered it that this state can havo no other great seaport. The work now approaching completion at the mouth of tho Columbia River assures us that we shall have an incomparable harbor. Wo may challenge comparison with any similar work in the world, and wo find support for our claim in the character and in tho results of this great achievement. There is no question of that. "We cannot separate. We should not, if we could. This country is one; it is an entirety. The interest of one part is alika the interest of all. What you want and should have next, is two great lines of railway, one along the Columbia River Route, tho other through the in terior. When a railroad ia constructed TUB MIAJTOW OP PETER PAN. Peter Pan has outgrown his baby hood, but, like Eros and Antinous, he will never grow up. This is what Mr. Barrie replied to the children's ques tionings at the farewel performance of "Peter Pan" at the Duke of York's The at re, in London. Critical estimates of the play have varied widely. There was a tendency at first to regard it mere ly as a children's play. But when it took audiences by storm ,the recognition forced itself upon the public that ''Pe ter Pan" was a psychological master piece fraught with deep symbolic mean ing. Every man, it has been said, is at heart a Peter Pan. And when Maud Adams proclaims the, tenets of eternul joy, we feel that the character stands for everything that is beautiful and elu sive in human life. Peter Pan is the spirit of immemorial romance unfettered by convention. When little Wendy J asks him if he has nothing sweet to ask a: her mother, he hesitates awhile whe ther or not he shall enter the house. There are tears rising to his eyes. Shall he marry Wendy, grow up and wear a derby? But the artistic temperament, the Greek joy of living, restrain his hands. Witsfully he turns back, and begins to blow his pipe. He is Pun, the great god Pan, reincarnated. Or rather he is Pan without the goat-foot. Neither domesticity nor the love of a woman can bind his indomitable soul, His true mate is Tinker-Bell ,the fairy, one of the most striking conceptions ever put on the stage. Mr. Barrie has taken a flash and bell, and out of thee ingredients created a character no less alive, no less real, than Hauptmann's Old Nickelmann and Ratitendelein. When Tinker-Bell has taken the poi soned draft that was meant for Peter Pan, and her little light is flickering away, her extremity touches the springs of human emotion, and when Peter, ad dressing the audience, tells them that only faith in fairies can save her little life, a sea of handkerchiefs invariably responds to the appeal. Peter is only half-human and Tinker-Bell so, but Barrie and Mi's Adams have accom plished a unique feat: they have brought fairydom nearer to us. "Peter Pan" is a bold protest against the materialism of the age. In this play the poet's magic wand restores, if only for a night, the kingdom of Queen Mab. From Cur rent Literature for May.

July 12,-Muni- eipal governmental affair have become still mora complicated by the action of Chief of Follee, Dinan, who yesterday refused to recogniw Chan. Boxtou as Mayor of San Francisco and ivfued to take order 'J rum him.

Boxton ordered Chief Dinan to assign sergeant detective Peter Fanning, who has been attached to Schmiti'a office, to other duties. ' Dinan instructed Fanning to remain at the building at Franklin and Post Stivets formerly occupied as an office by Schmiti and abjo detailed de tective Bell and policeman Cullin with instructions to see that no property is removed without an order from a su perior judge. Dinan said: "I only recognize the Mayor of Sau Francisco and his office at Post and Franklin Street. Besides I have complete control of the police department and the mayor cannot dic tate to me what I shall do with my officer. IN THE CITY CHURCHES. Presbyterian, In the absence of the pastor Rev. C.
