'' TO BE RELIED UPON.
TTion. is one thine the Morning As-
torian prides itself upon in the giving
of the news from beyond me ioca. u
and that is, it affiliation with the As
m.itA Pn This splendid source of
telezraobic news U never appreciated
.. u .hmiM he bT the millions of read
ers who are dependent upon it for the
mass of current information that
reaches them twice a day in the morn
ing and evening editions of the general
newspaper of t5e country; and its
members, the papers themselves, are
prone to disparage it, sometimes, when
there is dearth of live matter, or
when the wire service of the country is
disturbed, or the voluinne of matter is
rot up to the desired standard; and yet
it is always to the front with ALL the
news that is available and gives it to
the last detail of its value, a t'J-k that
is rarely understood and more justly
est.imntetL
w until some sweat exigency like

Haea Hoes the exceeding value and re
liability of this, fine service impress it
self upon its subscribers and the eiger
millions of readers beiore aimueo. iu, m
such a case it is manifestly in the most
responsible and' resourceful of all pos
sible agencies for the dissemination of
straight news; and in the ease referred
to it showed to wonderful advantage
over the meagre and impracticable re
ports sent out by its rival. There was
no faking, no fal-e color, no imma
terial stuff; the Associated Press re
ports were straight, solid, dependable
accounts of things just as they hap
pened, and the first news was verified
and confirmed by all that followed so
that all confusion and misdirection was
avoided and the world knew the best
and the worst of developments as they
occurred hour after hour. And this is
always the case with the A. P.; that
it is'so is cause for congratulation and
invariable certainty with those it most
concerns, our readers and ourselves.
Undet Threats to Kill Demanded
$1,000,000 From Leon Mandell of
Chicago Believed to be Harmless But
Needs Wajehir.fr
CHICAGO, July 27. A demand for
1,000.01)0 lh-om a atiite street nietr-
..hn under dire threats, was the climax
of the eccentrk-is of Edwin Moras, a
Chiago physiian and author of medial
works.
The demand was on Leon Mandell on
Monday In a 60 word telegram signed
by Moras, the polive have been working
for several davs on the case and finally
decided that Moras was harmless but
needed watching.- The matter was kept
secret until Yesterday in consequence of
efforts of friends of Dr. Moras to get
the physician out of town lor a rouea
needed rest.
Overwork and almost incessant paint
resulting from the loss of his arm sev
eral years ago are supposed to M re
sponsible for the queer actions of the
physician, who has left his home and
now is in the care of a friend.
Dr. Moras admitted last night that
he sent the message but he said re
gretted it. The only thing that he
could bring up against the grm was
that it had sued him for a small
account, not over $100, and that his
neighbors were pointing scornful
lingers at him.

U S. SENATOR BORAH.
The young federal senator from
Idaho, Mr. Borah, leading attorney for
the prosecution in. the great case of the
State of Idaho versus Moyer, Haywood
and Pettibone, made one of the most
remarkable criminal arraignments ever
heard at the northwetsern bar, on Fri
day last, when he summed up the case
against Haywood, and in the doing of
it has made an invaluable reputation as
a brilliant pleader and lawyer of ex
ceptionl force and power. He will be
heard from in the United Statesj Sen
ate one of these days if he shall carry
to his Washington engagement! the
splendid and potent faculties lie pos
' sesses and finds there themes and op
portunities that invite them. His mar
velous memory and aptitude for con
centrated and consecutive thought and
his superb diction will stamp him at
once among the leaders in that galaxy
of leaders. And if he shall cling faith
fully to the cause of the people who are
sending him there, the rest) ejf the
country may count itself fortunate in
having another powerful champion
where he is most needed.
o
MUST CREATE A MARKET.
The fact that hundreds of letters are
reaching the office of the Astoria Cham
ber of Commerce, daily, from people all
over the country, inquiring for all sorts
and conditions of real estate, and espec
ially in the small farming way, pre
supposes an influx of thee same in
quirers at an early day in the future
if the officers of that body, and the
realty firms of the community who are
reaching out after them, make honest
and timely response to these letters;
and the whole matter makes it abso
lutely imperative that a market be
created here wherewith to greet and
satisfy these people when they come.
We must not turn them down; if they
have come hundreds or thousands of
miles to buy land here and settle, we
must have the land to sell them, and
plenty of it to choose from; any other
policy than this will be ruinous. i.et
the men who own the big farms in
Clatsop cut their places into lesser
holdings and put them on the market
fnirt and emiitable values and place
them in the real estate aismeies of the
district, and do it at once. They will be
the first to realize on the preparedness
to meet and sell to those we are jnvit
in" here and there will soon be some
thins (loins that will have no end if it
ia hut. tinnclUxl circumsoectlv and
DromDtlv.
Astoria must have something beside
disappointment and hot air to offer
these men and women when they get
here, and the property owners must set
up the market on such terms as will
move the straneerg we have besought
to come here, to keep it going in lively
and comoensatinff fashion.
There are already hundreds asking
for small acreages for dairy, fruit, and
ho' raisins purposes, and others who
are seekins hrser tracts for larger
lines of nroduce. and if we ay we have
I
these things and urge them to come out
here and buy, we must have the goods
to deliver when they' arrive, or cease
our advertising. It is strictly up to the
owners of realty all over the country
to reat the biggest arket they can.

'FRISCO ON THE UP GRADE.
The conviction of Eugene Schmitz,
the scoundrelly Mayor of San Francisco,
and the appointment of Dr. Taylor in
his place, with the creation of a Drana
new board of municipal supervisors
from the very cream of the city's good
men. all old-timers and men of char
acter and wealth and honest to the very
core, makes eood readme up this way,
and the whole coast will glory in her
successes, both ways. It is hieh time
some thine nleasant and substantial and
promising was coming from the stricken
city and the more the better. She may
feel sure there is not a community,
from San Dieiro to Victoria, that will
not rejoice with her in every step she
shall take toward her re-estaonsnmeni,
and there is nothing so convincing and
confirming as the general knowledge
that the best and cleanest men ere in
charge of her new destinies. Once she
starts to rise on this plane, nothing
can stop her from attaining to all her
earlier glory and substance.

er plot against the cairs life was dis
covered through a raid on a suspected
house. Plans of the Baltic railroad over

complish his assassination. The author

an indictment and cause of arrest in
the case of the recent plot against the
czar. It is known that women took a

Claims Wafcts and Loans Representing

PMILADRLPlllA, July 27. Tlie his
toric mansion at Walnford, Monmouth
county, K. J., filled with priceless heir
looms of the artistot-Mtic Wain family,
which is closely connected with Mrs.
Anne M. Weight man Walker, the rich
est woman in the world j the Jones
Winters, the Charles Custis Harrion
and Ricluml Walu Meirs, has fallen in
to the possession of John Wilson, fd
years old, a negro, Inning been deeded
to him by the late Mrs. Stirah Wiln
ili'lltllirk-OU.
Wilson was an employe of Mrs. Hen
dilckson for nearly half a ceutuiy.
When she died in lat March at the age
of 01, he claimed that she owed him
nearly f IO.ihni, representing arrears In
Huge and loan, lleforo her death the
aged woman had John Meirs. a Camden
laner, who was her nephew, draw up
the deed by which she turned over to
the colored man the old Wain niatilon,
with the family portraits, jewels, silver
plate wnd old colonial furniture and
tiiwtrii.
.Mrs. Hendriekson's relathes In till
city were Indignant when they learned
of the transaction, and at first coiilem-
p!atd legal proceeding to have the
deed set a'l'le. They were advised t
lisive the colored man in poiwtilon so
us to avoid a scandal. Sow that the
transact iitn Im become known, an
effort will probably be mad to unit
Wilson, as Mrs. llemlrickson's relative
do not Micve she owed Itiiu cent.
