ASTORIA'S XATBfG
"ALL UP IN THE AIR I"
The interest of the aeronautia world is
centered Just now at St. Louis, where
the second international ; long-distance
race of ' the International Aeronautic
Federation is now underway, along with
all other absorbing elements of- aerial
test, display, technical ' invention and
suggestive possibility, are going forward
in alluring profession. v
: We are up-to-date enough to wish the
great convention such uccess in any and
all lines of its especial pursuit, as shall
surprise Us most sanguine members and
votaries, because we- believe that, far
sooner than is held at present, the
working solution of the great science is
to be reached and the myriad channels
of space filled with dirigible vehicles of
all kinds and the new phase of transpor
tation for passengers and freight, opened
to a longing world. We have taken off
ail old limitations we used to set up
in matters Of scientific development and
stand ready to hail achievement of any
sort from all sources. It is the more
comfortable doctrine and gives seat to
our final "We told yon sol" besides. leav
insr nothing for us to take back, or
qualify. . -
In point of population Astoria already
rates as the second city in the state, aa
she does commercially but there is 1
similarity in the numerical ratios claim
ed by Salem, that cannot be altogether
ignored. Indeed, there is but small mar
gin between the two cities on this score;
but with the lines of commercial devel
opment marked out for Astoria in the
future months lying nearest her, the
variation is likely to increase so rapidly
and in such pronounced fashion, as to
widen the differences in both directions
to the obliteration of all equalities.
Just when the sign is to be given by
the people and concerns .that are to
launch the new conditions at the mouth
'" of the Columbia cannot be fixed at the
present moment; but the most dubious
forecaster ia this section does not put
it beyond the first 01 jjepruary, laua,
and there are those who feel justified in I
1 immin an earlier neriod. At all eventsl
there are none to dispute nor gainsay
the certainty of the realities to come
fcnd every access of importance that

to the forging of Astoria's rightful
claim to the' distinction of second place,
And as the second city in the common
wealth it is her bounden duty to grow
measureably to s new standards and
greater responsibilities, not only as the
second city, but as the first, and only,
seaport of consequence, in that domain.
For it will be her new marine prestige
that will give her all else of value and
importance. Her new destiny is not to
be altogether in her own hands; there
are others coming in here whose wealth
and experience wUl " have tremendous
weight in . the ( Casting of her future lines
of progress. We have got to assimilate
these factors and adapt ourselves large
ly to the spirit that animates them; we
cannot have things all our own way for
ever; all genuine expansion follows prac
tically new departures as well as new
people, and we cannot expect to operate
successfully as an exception to an in
variable and, accepted rule. There are
things for us all to learn and the les
sons" will do us , good because we shall
, broaden and gradually relinquish what
i of "moss-backism" that now afflicts us,
to our wider freedom and surer profit,
financially, and ethically. '""",
Astoria will be alright, for all time
to come, when she takes her place as
the great grain-port of the northwest,
lays her cables in up-to-date holdings
and schools herself to the ampler, and
somewhat peculiar, exigencies of the
new citizenship and interests that are
to share her solid advance along all
' lines.
WE CONGRATULATE HIM!

The Morning Astorian is glad to see
Dr. Henry L. Henderson in the council
manic semi-circle: his appointment is
creditable to his constituents there, and
an assurance of far, wise and business
like dispatch of civio affairs to those
most concerned, the citizens of Astoria.
We know of no Democrat in Astoria
whom we would rather see in the seat
of Councilman Morton; and as the suc
cession had to be, primarily, Democratic,
we are glad the honor fell where it did,
nor shall we care to see it disturbed
until the time arrives to replace the
doctor, and all others, with a strictly
Republican representation from , this
municipality. This, of course, will not
leave him, no them, more than a single
year of official life, as the local elector
ate is getting
change.

-THE WIZARD'S LATEST.
Thomas A.' Edison has declared that
, he has discovered a process in the use of
cement, whereby he ean construct a
three-story house ready for use and oc
cupancy in a given 12 hours of time
costing not to exceed $1000. ' Coming
from such a' source, this means much to
tlw poor man of the world today, who
sadly needs such specific relief and who
will hail the boon as a direct dispensa;
tion of ' divine good-will if it "shall be
permitted to reach him without the in
tervention of the money-trust in some
combination to take over the process
and limit the output so as to command
eight or ten-fold the alleged cost, as has
been the case , with every really, great
Invention of the past 100 years or more.
We have all seen these benefices pass
Into the . hands of the money-hog and
have paid our share of their subsequent
exploitation; and without the shadow of
a doubt as to the certainty and reason
ableness of Mn Edison's claim, we look
for nothing else than its early; absorb-
: Since the passage of, the measure pro
viding for the removal of the internal
revenue tax on denatural alochol little
has been done toward bring this fuel
into the market as a competitor of gas
oline. So writes Howard Greene in The
Technical World Magazine for Novem
ber. As matters stand at present, alcohol
is not in a position to compete with
gasoline as a fuel for internal combus
tion engines.
Chief among the engineering reasons
for this state of affairs is the fact that
alcohol, vaporized and mixed with air,
tyuras. Blowlyi as compared with the
combustion of gasoline vapor. To use
alcohol advantageously the engine speed
must be low and the compression high.
Stationary motors fop burning alcohol
running at , three hundred revolutions
minute or less and highly compressing
the charge, have given excellent results;
but this only goes to indicate the nn
suitability of alcohol for , automobile
motors as now built. But a new method
of using alcohol, developed from the idea
of altering the characteristics of alcohol
without impairing its fuel ; value, has
been devised and letters patent issued
to F. W. Barker and Thomas L. White,
of New York, on December 25, 1906.
' Briefly , the Barker-White system con
sists in vaporizing alcohol in a carbure
ter of the ordinary gasoline type and
passing the vapor of alcohol, mixed with
the proper volume of air, through 'cal
cium carbide. - Commercial ' alcohol al
ways contains water, usually to the ex
tent of about ten per cent, and this
water is absorbed by the carbide, where
upon acetylene gas Is liberated by the
carbide, mixes with tte aiconoi vapor
and air and is carried into the cylinder.
Detailed account of the exact methods
employed and the excellent, results ob
tained are given by the writer in an ex
cellent article.

Astoria has taken unto herself an
other industry, and one which is wore
than usual out of the ordinary. Lum
ier and grain and various cargoes . of
general merchandise have in the duv
gone by been shipped from our city, but
it has remained for Master Fish harden

Several weeks aco the Warden was
the recipient of a letter from the State
Fish Commissioner of Nevada reqesting
that he would forward to thorn some 20
dozen crawfish, which, the letter stated
they wished to release in waters pro
vided for that purpose. Mr. Van Dusen
procured the crawfish and , forwarded
them, and a communication of recent
date informs him that the fish arrived
in good order5. A request was also em
bodied in the communication for an ad
ditional 20 dozen. These the Fish War
den obtained of Perry Titus of Fern
Hill and they were forwarded yesterday
evening. ' v ? ,V'.
Instructions were also sent informing
the Nevada commission as to the best
method of propagating the crawfish and

will sometime be vieing with our genial
warden in passing on to other, states the
