ELECTRIC HfTERURBANS. . ,
Someone in Astoria is going to lose a
splendid opportunity for the best sort of
an investment, if they dally with
the electric-interurban-Astoria-Seaside
proportion much longer. Xow is the
time to grasp thia situation, while it
it free from all extraneous claim and in
fluence. Outside capital has made a
mess of one of the best transportation
ventures in the Northwest, and the
time U ripe for the assertion of local
interest in the undertaking. It will be
too late some day, when foreign money
is coining a profit that might have been
husbanded right at home npon an in
vestment that carries with it immense
collateral agencies for accumulation in
the way of development along the
route of the road.
There is ample wealth here for such
work as this and there is every sort of
example all over the country to show
that inlerurban electric lines are the
very cream of paying investments. The
whole proposition can be exploited with
out going outside the doors of the As
toria Chamber of Commerce, and we
hope to see come timelv and propitiom
thing done to keep this quasi-public
energy within our own fold and the
realization within the purview of the
Astoria pocketbooks and baak accounts.
IMPROVEMENTS AT ASTORIA.
When another summer sun shall shine
on this seaport it will fall happily on
two fine specimens of public and private
enterprise. The Clatsop County Court
House and the "Weinhart-Atoria" Ho
tel, together standing for .300.000 of
good monev, and both filling long-felt
wants in the community; both superior
ornaments to the city, and, with the
splendid new $75,000 structure belonging
to the Astoria Savings Bank, forming
a trio-nucleus for the long string of
structures that are to follow in due and
opportunity that present itself after a
season of war shall have opened. H is
a tale of an ordinary group of -eamen.
.aught at random in a frightful crisis',
facing inordinate, peril and sharing a
holocaust, but never a one of them, in
the ranks nor out of them failed U ptv
form the whole hard duty that beset
!i! nt.
A powder explosion gives no time for
th soniiiL. out -of MMvinY dutica and
those who live through it can act only
on intuition in whatsoever they do to
mitigate the horror and save others,
and in this instance every man jack of
them took his death blow manfully or
while he lived was doing something to
ward off th inseparable and consequent
evils of the crisis. It was as magnificent
tn exposition of human courage and noble
ness as has found record in the world in
veara and will never be forgotten. It
showed the quality of the men who are
serving the country in the avy ami
give an abiding assurance of the fact
that Amerii lacks nothing in the way of
absolute bravery and sterling faith so
far as that branch of the war service
it concerned. And if any other nation
is dubious about this claim of our,
based on such a supreme test, let them
engage these men in their particular line.
STIlt A MOOT-QUESTION.
A correspondent of the Xew York
Sun who sign himself, or herself "One
Hail" anxiouly inquires what the sex
of the American Eagle is supposed
tn be.
The Sun cites a paragraph in Milton"
Arvoiiagitica as the sentiment that gov
erns the general use of the female, as
m emblem of nationality, as follows:
MethinKs I see in my mind a noble
and persistent nation. As an
eagle nursing her mighty youth and
kindling her undazzled eyes at the lull
midday beam." x
But the Sun la evidently unsatisti.M
with that version and cites Prake and
his description of what Freedom in the
sv back did, as follows:
'"Then from her mansion in the sun
She called her eagle-bearer down
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol of her cho-en land."
There is better authority stili. in
1S61 Mark Twain wrote a rourin ot
fuly oration which started him on the
road to fame. Its opening sentence was
this:
I was sired by the gTeat American
i-ajrle and borne by a Continental Dam."
There is still another authority. It
is the Irishman's impromptu sentiment
when called upon for a toast. He re
sponded, as follows:
"Here's to the American Aegle,
The proud bird of Freedom, all hail!
The.bould fowl whom none can inveigle.
Xoe onuy put salt on his tail."
Xo' doubt the sex' of the bird must
have come from "Old Abe," the eajjle
that one of the Wisconsin regiments
bore through the war.
The eale was in every battle that
the regiment engaged in, and its scream
was part of the battle inspiration oi
the regiment. But when the regiment
was mustered out and "Old Abe" wa
i'iven a home on the grounds of the
Agricultural society of Wisconsin, he
shocked all his old associates by laying
an egg. Salt Lake Telegram.

The fact that Mr. Cooper's medioinet
enjoy ltrger tales than any others it proof
f their great merit.

At Hanville, Pa., there lives a woman
furniture mover She has printed on her
vans the following appeal to the public:
quick eequence. For it mutt be remem-1 "Don't worry-get married and keep on
bered bv all concerned that Astoria is
on the up-grade with everything coming
her way in good order and not-remote
season, and she will do her best to keep
up with the procession of northwestern
cities, in all details of beauty, conven
fence and publie utility.
One of the certain and particular Hues
of development awaiting tht) livening
touch of the propitious moment and
compelling dollar (both drawing near),
are the new doeka and warehouses that
are indispensable in the assured pro
gram fo? Astoria and her bay-neighbors
of the wet; and with these will come
the ships and business, by degrees, until
we shall attain to our logical destiny as
THE seaport of the upper Pacific
Coast; with Portland capital bolstering,
and Oregon snap maturing, the common
sense scheme of state-wide development.
Portland laughs at the prospectus we
swear by, but "he will swing into line
with due timeliness and considerable
viiror wben our hour arrives. Some of
her people are already next!
UNPARALLELED BRAVERY.
The story told by Gqitain McCrea, of
the battleship Georgia, to the represen
tative of the Associated Press, of the
splendid grit and forethought of the
officers and men involved in the recent
horrible explosion on board that fine
vessel, will make good reading for some
of the Japanese jingoes who profess to
believe that the American sailor will
desert his ship and his colors at the first
moving." Pittsburg Dispatch.
Bill Ward says: "To unload your
cares on others i much like a friend
asking you to carry hia bag, overcoat
and umbrella that be may have a
smoke."
While criticizing San Francisco all
she deserves, it will be noticed there
it one city where they do put 'em in
the penitentiary once in a while.
Schmitz will take a fiddle with him to
San Quentin prison a reminder of the
only honest work he ever did.
It begins to be apparent there is little
difference between Jhe unwritten law
and simply unwriting the law.
