IN TOUCH WITH THE WORLD.
Tbe transportation situation here in
Astoria is one of the peculiar, and
among the be--t, advantages we enjoy.
It h rarely thought out by the average
citiien, and yt is worth all the thought
be may be inclined to give it. There is
not a point in the broad world we can
not head out for, by rail .or sea, and
reach within the beat schedules going.
All transcontinental services are repre
sented here and those that are not, are
next door to us, in Portland, whence
nine-tenths of our local passenger traf
fic, departs, anyway; our sea lines are
in quick and ready touch with all the
marine arteries permeating, the Pacific.
We have a transcontinental system from
our very doors, and. trans-Atlantic ac
commodations ready at hand, just as
they are available at the biggest me
tropolis of the country. We have steam
er here for all porta except the Puget
Sound points, and this is remedied by
the more direct and quicker rail transit.
Wa can sail for Japan, China, and Russia
when we please; we can go almost di
rect to the Antipodes; to South Amer
ica; to Panama; to the East; to Europe,
with but little more trouble than the
traveler take who lives in San Fran
cisco or New York. In another year or
two we expect to have three new rail
lines of our own out of Astoria, east
and south, and by that time there is
likely to be added an ocean line or two
that will expedite things coast-wise, and
to the Far East. The river traffic is
ample and frequent; and anyway one
look at it, Astoria is, and will be, al
ways in instant touch with the high
ways of the world.
RAITZ MIS-MANAGEMENT.
That the Pacific Mail Steamship Aca
pulco should turn turtle at her dock in
San Francisco, just as she was coaling
np to leave out on her trans-Pacific voy
age, is one of the worst samples of bad
seamanship and incompetent dock
mastery on record. Then was something
frightfully wrong with the ship that
caused her to sink at hfr mooring dar
ing the process of coaling and the fed
eral inspector will not do their duty
until they have ferreted the blunder out
and everlastingly overhauled the man re
sponsible for it.
The mercy Jof the whole thing lies in
the wretched and wanton mistake as
serting itself before she got to sea. For
as sure a it existed at all, it would
have manifested itself somewhere on the
3000-mile stretch between fcton Fran
cisco and the Isthmus: and probably
with a fearful loss of life. The people
on board would have Wen justified in
abandoning a voyage o a ship so rook- I
leasly man-naiidieu as one iiium nave
been, and it is likely many of them
did so.
No excuse on earth will honestly ac
count for such an accident as that; no
ship ever swung off her keel without
abundant cause, and the man or men
who set up such a cause are either- stup
idly wicked, or wickedly stupid, either
condition Wing sufficient to drive them
out of the business and into a sphere
that i never invaded by the traveling,
nor any other sort of public.
ASTORIA THE KEY!
The Astoria Chamber of Commerce i
now equipped with its new badge-pin.
in the shape of a key. The emblem sig
nifies the exact statu of the city and
section in relation to the development of
the Columbia Basin, of Oregon, and of
the Northwest. This is the key-port
of the States of Oregon, Washington,
Montana and Idaho; or. if it be not at
this particular moment, it holds the key
to the certain establishment of that
vital condition in the near future. Just
as sure as the great flood of the majestic
Columbia find its last and lowest level
at our doors draining the untold mil
lions on millions of acres of wheat bear
ing hind in the states named, just so
sure that long down-grade i to be made
the direct, swift and useable artery of
the enormous commerce incident to its
banks the logic of its final adoption is
irresistable, conclusive; pregnant of time
and profit and convenience, all things
that enter into the calculations of men
who direct that commerce. The key is
a fitting sign of the living fact that
Astoria is in the transportation race to.
stay and to win and to do. from this
hour on. Let every man in the city don
tbe pin and give his best energy to the
warping of the port into the list and
influence and prestige nature has fore
ordained and only man ha barred. As
toria does not ask for anything except
what belongs to her; her asking has
been long denied, but the juster bund
of destiny is at work and she will soon
acquire all that she desires and deserves.
She is in better condition now, to work
out that destiny, than ever before in
her history, and has more heart for the
task. She knows her own attitude, her
own resources, her own equities and is
girded for the fight Put on a "pin"
and pitch in!
IF
MILK OF HUMAN GREED.
The milk sellers of Astoria are going
to advance the cost of that commodity
20 per cent on the first of the month.
This is accounted for on the usual hypo
thesis of something else advancing in
cost and the excuse must go down along
with the higher priced milk, and will,
because we cannot help ourselves. It i
on a par with all the rest of human ef
fort today; the top price rules in every
conceivable line; the combination i in
the saddle; the tendency to add to
profit is universal and relentless; the
living, sweating, working, striving, hop
ing public grin and bears each in
crease and impact of cost, grins at the
sophistry ued by the dealer and at his
own helplessness; and bears it . all be
cause of hi own infinite patience. Some
day that patience will end and the re
vulsion will come with a swing and a
force that will smash the cheap little
trust and the big rich trust, and the
common range of sense and honesty will
supervene to re-establish the values of
the ordinary, bountiful necessities of
life, and we will hark back to bearable
and sterling things. Astoria is not the
only city that is in the clutch of the
life
