THE LOSS OF THE CUBBIES.
Tie lost of th good American ship
John Currier, on the wild ahoals of the
Abakan coast on the ninth of this
month cam to this city as a direct blow
yesterday; because she was, for the time
being an Astorian craft, under charter
and under service to a well known As
toria business concern, the Alaska Fish
ermen's Packing Company; and while
there is much to rejoice in, in the fact
that so far as is known no lives were
sacrificed, there is always measure of
sadness in the knowledge of the wreck
of any ressel on the seas, let alone the
sacrifice of her cargo, thirty thousand
cases of salmon in this instance, which
while Insured, Imposes immense incon
venience upon its owners.
Astoria is always eager to see the
Alaskan ships come home each season
hi fine fit and form and to welcome the
hundreds of Astoriana who go north in
them every spring to work the Nusha
gak fisheries and canneries; it U almost
an annual institution with us. and to
date there has been But little of trouble
or less in this big business. !
Her officers and crew will have gone
through considerable deprivation before
relief reaches them in their refuge on
. the upper coast, and the hope is abroad
her that this element of the affair will
not prove too trying for any of the
crowd east away, and that all will reach
home with health and strength unim
paired, THE POKTLAHD FAILTJSE.
Not b long years has Portland had
to account for the failure of one of its
banking institutions, and the collapse of
the Oregon Tru&t & Savings Bank of
Wednesday last was a startling revela
tion of this kind to the whole north
west and one we hope may not be dupli
cated oveji again; because there is an
element of undue mismanagement at
taching to this failure that does not
speak well for the concern involved nor
the financial field of which it was pre
sumed to be a sound and representative
institution.
Coming at this particular juncture it
gires color to the dismal forecast just
put out by that incarnate old fraud,
Jchn D. Rockefeller, who lately caused
the publication of his alleged belief that
there was to be a long and irksome sea
son of financial depression throughout
the country. People are likely to see in
this incident some sort of confirmation
of the oil king's nasty hint, however
far removed the real origin of the bank
ruptcy may be.
The time are not of a nature, just
now, to warrant any grave forebodings,
and all Oregon will unite in the common
' hope that this may be the sole develop
ment of monetary weakness in this
country and in the universal regret that
this grand commonwealth had to supply
even an intimation of the kind. That
it was wrought by agencies peculiarly
within the compass of the bank's own
management, is assured by the whole
some fact that no other bank in the
state is even affected by the slump.
of resistance: but the ikht should never
b abandoned until it hs been absolute
ly proven that the rank outrage is not
ouHou of law, but a direct and vin
dictive evasion of a plain duty to a
for; and people the company haa never
favored since it was organised to re
iit ve the O. R. N. of the burden of Its
mismanagement.
Such policies tills are put In fori
from motives very distinct from pure
Ium"Cs; they are the menu expression
of a meaner impulse to. disparage ami
thwart the progress and purposes of a
giwu locality, and in this instance this
is notoriously known here; and it is
time Astoria was taking a hand to qual
ify the palpable deprecation thrust upon
her; and what the law may not do the
remedy the evil, may be done through
the publicity given to the unfairness.
EDITORIAL SALAD.
On the face of it. it doesnl look like
a very efficacious way of -resorting the
Anglo-German entente to tell H. I. M.
the Kaiser every now and then to com
and kiss his uncle.
Table etiquette at the summer board
ing house insists above all that it is
not good form to be hungry except Im
mediately after meals.
The Standard Oil insists Judge Landis
h nude 116 errors, but it would bet
ter not play too far off the bag.
BUI WVrd says: "When the trust
are all gone we can turn our attention
to the tariff, but who will then caret"
MUCH HARDER.
The statesman of the years gone by
Displayed a, solemn mien;
He wore a hat severely high
And held a pose serene.
He banqueted in formal state;
His guests could ne'er complain,
For terrapin was what they ate.
And what they drank champagn.
The statesman of the present day
Must seek athletic joys, I
And join the festive crowd, that say
"Rah! Bah!" like college boys.
And witty sayings from his pen
Must take the world by storm.
And he must gallop now and then
In cowboy uniform.
MINERS ARE SCARCE.
Gold Field District Reeds Men to Fill
Uf Crew,
GOLDFIELD, Aug. 22. The cry for
more miners is being heard in all por
tions of the district, and despite the
fact that the campanies are putting
forth strenuous efforts to increase their
working forces there is still a shortage.
The Chairman Consolidated Copper Com
pany, controlling the Chairman and
Joana groups and the Aultman mine, is
the latest Ely corporation to appeal for
relief. Although the management is
desirous of putting on thirty more.
The Veteran Ely is another company
that is hindered in opening up the re
sources of its properties on account of
the lack of miners. The management
bas ninety men on the payroll and fifty
more could secure job. The same con
dition of affairs is prevalent among a
number of the other big companies own
ing ground within the limits of the re
cognized monzonite zone.
The mining companies here are not
the only ones that are suffering from
the unusual labor conditions in this
camp. The Corey Brothers' Construc
tion Company, which has the contract
for the extension of the Nevada North
ern railroad from the Star Pointer
shaft to the Giroux Consolidated and
on the Veteran Ely, is complaining of
the lack of railroad laborers.
It is anxious to secure teamsters, lab
orers and rock men for work on the
railroad, and could give employment to
at least 200 men. The prevailing wage
for work of this character is $3 a day
A SQUARE DEAL.
The action taken by the Astoria
Cbamber of Commerce and its capable
secretary, John H. Wbyte, is demanding
of the San Francisco & Portland Steam'
ship Company, a square deal in the mat'
ter of insurance of Portland-bound car
goes by that company, while the Astoria
freight is left uncovered and unprotect
ed, is to be (heartily commended and
urged to a degree of insistence that shall
include the last possible source of re
lief.
The company will claim gome technical
point of law to account for its rank 'dis
crimination against Astoria and will
fight the proposition to the utter limit

What On Enjoys.
At Otto Sund'i pretty and cosy retort
The Commercial," one finds all that
the inner man desire in the refreshment
line and of the best quality too. To
pass a little time in such a ntat place
and spend it in pleasant conversation
with genial friends, probably a little
business talk, is, to say the least, en
livening. Courteous treatment is an
other thing that is appreciated and one
receives it from Otto himself who takes
charge during the day and from bis
pleasant night manager both of whom
dispense the best to be had. "The Com
