If all the rational and excellent things to which this city is amenable in the rery near future are to be made the most of and are to be met in kind; that is, if the people, and concerns, who are to sink hundreds of thousands, and even millions, of dollars hereabout in starting and forging the new commercial condi tions, are to be impressed with the fact that the Astorians properly estimate, and appreciate, the work and its vast cost, there has got to be preparation made for the expression of a very new spirit in this man's town; there will have to be 'a loosening-up, a departure from old, narrow policies, a quickening, a spontaneity of sentiment and action, a broad-gauge, business-like sensing of the situation, and the adoption of an initiative on the part of our people that will indicate something else beside mere passivity and the silent greed that takes all it can get without attempting to make compensatory effort. Astoria is a very rich city; and Clat sop county is equally well favored; be tween them they furnish a marvelous array of natural advantages, commercial and industrial, all potential if properly exploited by the use of money and at a propitious moment. We cannot ex pect everything to be done by outsiders; we have our own part to do in this coming expansion; it is a duty that cannot be longer ignored if we intend to make a decent impression abroad; there is much to do and plenty of brains and hands to direct it and do it; the thing is to realize the urgency of getting to work in a wholesale, composite position for the benefits about due. We took a long step in this direction when the Chamber of Commerce was re organized, and are beginning to reap where we have sowed; that element of our active, creative program is pro gressing splendidly, and is in just the status now to make good on all that we are promising the homeseeker, the investor, the capitalist; it only remains for the wealthy citizens, the men of means and of property to band them selves into a unit of action and confir mation, to start the rejuvenation of the whole city and section. The realty con cerns of the city are at a point where the available properties for the market in the matter of this transition, must be listed and at feasible figures, so that when the man from abroad comes here, with our plea for his coming in one hand, and a rational price for a home site, in the other, they will be in a posi tion to fill the demand and promise without loss of time. The ready-money men of the city and county must take hold of tha projects that require financing and assert their own confident in their own, and corre lated, inTeattaeuts inseparable from the ehaduie ei axpaottoA The work of turning an ordinary efty into a budding meliopolia eennot be dona altogether on money tram abroad;.

It is plain ly up to us alt to show what we know of Astoria and to do it with faith and judgment. in A FINE DEMONSTRATION. The long distance call upon the As toria Fire ITepartment, on Wednesday afternoon last, from the Astoria Box Company's plant, and the swift and readr and serviceable response, was matter for congratulation with every citizen here. It simply goes to show that the department is in a high state of efficiency, and can be relief upon at any sort of work at any point, in this city of mile-end distances. The test was essentially a complete one; for the run was made in excellent time and in season to enable the firemen to do the initial work of a fire namely to keep it from spreading. What work was required at the rands of the train ed men, was done with ease and des patch and certainty that speaks loudly for the discipline, equipment and per sonnel of the force, reflecting distinct credit upon Chief Foster and every man under him. The savings of this big plant, from a destructive lire, arising at the worst pos sible point on the premises and under circumstances requiring an abnormal ef fort to cover the remoteness, was, at once, proof of the department's efficacy, 1 the good fortune of' the owning com- panv, and the certain advantage of the Citv of Astoria. IMPORTED SWEETHEARTS. An English liner landed at New York the other day 1002 young women from the ports of England, Ireland and Wales, all hither-bound for husbands. The inter views these blooming foreign girls gave the newspaper men at the docks of New York before they left to scatter to the uttermost points of the continent, Show ed conclusively that they, each, and all, knew just what they came for and were eager for information as to their chances in the American marital market. At first glance it would seem that a big bunch of young women like these might have some quieter quest than this and that a less frank confession would have sounded better; but when one thinks of the commercialism of the day, it can scarcely be denied they had a per fect right to come on just such an er rand nor will anyone begrudge thera the best of luck and happiness in the ven ture; nor may we contend that there are millions of fine American girls right here to have filled the bill, for such -an argument would convict us of forget ting that the fore-mothers of our own great nation simply antedated this same batch of fine young Britishers by a few hundred years, and the point would fall lamely, and wholly inept.

Yesterday was bargain day in wrecked vessels, and the steamer Tellus, which a few days ago was worth $75,000, and held a cargo of coal valued at $20,00, was sold for $250, coal and all, as the vessel lies on the North Spit. Yesterday was the date set fbr the opening of bids for the wrecked steam er and her cargo, the bids being received in San Francisco by Norwegian Consul Lund, and in Hoquiam by Captain Berg. Two bids were entered by local par ties, the Lindstrom Shipbuilding Com pany offering $150 for the vessel and cargo, and the Grays Harbor Tug Boat Company offering $100 for the same. These bids were telegraphed to Consul Lund by Captain Berg, but an answer was received stating that at auction in San Francisco $250 had been bid for the wreck The name of the buyer was not given. Owing to the complete wreck of the steamer Tellus, and the utter impossibil ity of rescuing any portion of her coal cargo, the small sum realized on the wreck is a matter of no surprise. In fact, the amount paid is considered high. According to Captain Berg, about all of any value that can be obtained from the wreck is the anchor and chains.

' Threaten to Use Violence if Enormous Influx is Not Stopped Form an Orien tal Exclusion League For Work May go to the Throne. OTTAWA. Oct. 3. The Oriental Exclusion Leagues throughout British Columbia will send Sir Wilfrid Lauricr a petition which will have probably 10, 000 signers, the largest signed one ever reaching here. Those getting up the pe tition say if action is not taken by the Premier, the petition will then go to the throne. If that has no result the league will take measures to prevent the de barkation of Orientals in Vancouver which will be effective. The petition reads ""Petition, the un dersigned residents of British Columbia humbly showeth that province to have been in the past and will continue to he the dumping ground of Oriental labor ers, notably Hindoos, Japanese and Chinese. That at present tlmre are 30, 000 Orientals of the foregoing races in British Columbia. That the Orientals enter into competition with white men, whom they have largely displaced in the fishing and lumbering industries and have usurped places among unskilled la borers that would otherwise 1 filled with white races in Canada, and tlm prevent the formation of a homogeneous citizenship. 'That the national existence of Can ada is threatened bv the introduction of nonAissimilating races and the conse quent driving out of the white man; that a royal commission appointed by your government fully investigate this question and urged the prohibition of all Oriental immigration, and your gov ernment recognized the soundness of this decision by passing the Chinese exclu sion act and arranging with the govern ment of Japan for a limited immigra tion; that the measures adopted by your government have not been effective to secure the desired ends. "Therefore, your petitioners humbly pray that, regardless of foreign coun tries and all sentimental and political considerations, your government imme diately pass such legislation as may be requisite to ensure the absolute exclu sion of Orientals from Canada." RESTRICT IMMIGRATION. To Have New Plan to Keep Out the Undesirables. WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. With the Japanese question uppermost in their minds, the President and hi caWnet have been diseussing means for limiting immigration. More than 1,000,000 per sons come to this country every year from the old world, and if all of them were the right sort all would be wel come, but there is a dearth of white men to do the world's work, but there is trouble for the government in the un desirable classes from Europe, Asia and Africa. How shall these "undesira bles'" be kept out. The President and his cabinet advis ers have hal some discussion of the advisability of limiting the nunilKT of immigrants that would be rweived in anw one year from each country. Those countries which are sending desirable emigrants might be permitted to send as many as they wish to spare. Coun tries which send to the United States criminal and paupers, incompetents and molyeoJilles of various degrees might be informed that they must find other dumping grounds for such undesirables. Perhaps Congress might have to pass special legislation to compass this end. and possibly the suggestion that cer tain countries were to be discriminated against would prompt them to keep their uihlctsiablc at home without fur ther action.
