along tho water level, wo shall find the
products of the interior delivered at
Oregon's seaport; tot to Puget Sound on
tha north, or San Francisco on the south
of us. 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."
Why is this policy not as good now as

Why does not the Oregoniau answer
this query, twice asked t
Whj does it keep silence in the face
of this record t
Why has it abandoned the position
then taken by Mr. Scott t
Why does it hesitate to explain its
eomaleU reversal t
Why is the original idea repudiated

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

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

symptoms during the four years that

tate to me what I shall do with my
officer.
