ANOTHER GREAT HIGHWAY. . , All roads lead to Astoria I They've got to, if people ,want to get to the Pacifio Ocean, for either business, or pleasure! " , Astoria ia to be the main, out-board point on the splendid automobile high way that is to extend from the metropo lis to Tillamook Bay, via the Columbia river and the aea-beaches of Clatsop and . Tillamook counties. , , The Astoria Chamber of Commerce and the, County Court f Clatsop have taken up their share of the project with spirit and seat and will stand pat to the last feature of estabu'shment of this Ise to be permanent and of all unwmipe titive nature. . Primarily, Astoria is to be a con siiionous ahfpphiir center; and while she 'builds "to that lne, t neglect the' lesser and different claims that will he made mwa her public spirit. She ha done a inarvelous lot of good advertising durinjr the year 1907, and the year 1908 will yield her most of ber Interesting answers. She has beckoned tne worw to her marts and markets and she must make good to every man and dollar that seek he out! N . , ;,. ' ;, , 0 ' IN INEVITABLE SEQUENCE. The commercial expansion of the lower Columbia, must, of necessity, be follow ed rapidly by the civic interest "ofMh government and the early establish ment of departmental agencies of great extent and Importance. v The Columbia river offers remarkable elements of im nunitV, and utility, for the despatch of naval affairs, V particularly j ! ,nd th phase of federal patronage is likely to fall this way aa soon at the enhanced commercial facilities nd investments are made apparent Th awinir of events on the whole Pacific Coast will be mighty enough in trend and volume to compel the erec tion and maintenance of huge depots and doefca and Yards and stations for the accommodation of the war and navy people and! supplies,, and in the end of thflsp nrcDarations Astoria ana tne t. -t mouth of the Columbia must figure im mensely and permanently from the very mmnletenesa and adaptabthtr 01 tne territory; and we have no doubt what ever- that the visit of Admiral Evens and his great staff of officers, will give an impetus to a. system of development here, as magnificent in scope as it will be profoundly, important in character. The mouth of the Columbia cannot be overlooked forever! , WANT NO MORE DAMS. One Hundred and Fifty Citixens Petition ' Against Slaughter of Fine Salmon ia River. Vl int fifrv reskinta of . vw , Pendleton and vicinity have united In tli. wm'r against the dama in the Uma- unique and attractive "plan. Everybody j tiUa river whicn e causing the death who has given it any thought at all, is eager to see it earned through, not only for the distinct advantages that it will confer locally, but because it will be an Oregon institution ; that cannot escape being famous before it haa been in opera tion two seasona- The supwb scenic element of the route would make K that, if nothing1 else contributed to it! Automobibng is to be the prime eport of the century and the roads to be pro vided for it are, of necessity, to be the best that can be builded. And this means a new, and broad departure in road con struction here, and everywhere else; for these highways will be used for all man ner of vehicle traffic as well as for the "chou-chous. The creation of fine roads is a boon to every dweller within any tort of touch with them, and no com munity can afford to withold genfroua support for their maintenance. Clatsop certainly will not be in arrears in ' a program of this kind, and it will all come back to her in the myriad ways in cident to the ason-kng traffic of wealthy, pleasure-seeking dientellej aside from the name and fame of haying roads of this character throughout the county. ' r , , . 0 1 . THE COLUMBIA IS FREE. Owing to intelligent and unceasing care of the port health authorities at Astoria and Portland, the bubonic plague has been kept out of the Colum bia valley, though it has crept into San Francisco and? the cities on Puget Sound. V This speaks well for the vigilance of the authorities here charged with the duty of heading; off these dangerous and unwelcome thinss and contributes no little to the credit of the district and the ports liable to attack. One feature of value, in this behalf, peculiar to this port and harbor, is, ' that no vessel can more than merely en ter the mouth of the Columbia before she is subjected to tb rigid' examination incident to the governmental program whila Ivor on the Sound she can get a hundred miles inland before she goes up fljr&inst the Quarantine processes; and o - this counts for safety on such a score as this insiduous and malignant disease. ' (It all goes to demonstrate the utility end feasibility of the harbor here; and due npte is being made of it at Wash ington! - ' A! POLICY OF ENCOURAGEMENT. Astoria is just at a point , in her career where decisive policies are impera tively essential; and among them, the policy of encouragement. J'! She cannot afford to disparage or bar a ainirle Moieet, be it what it may. Her gates must swing, wide and her welcome cheery and sympathetic; big ana uuie ; ventures are all the same in this day of whether thev be in the uise of transcontinental railways, fbingle mills, pottery plantsor any other enterprise, especially if they prom- signed a petition to the state warden which reads as follows: "Mr. H.

They have how stationed, the , dear old reliable game I Washington l ost is in tne habit 01 beam ing Loeb for everything that goes wrong, and the Poet mar be right,' I itunnol ."Fish Wrden for the State of Oregon. Anyhow, I am willing to let Loeb have tne blame, tbongh tne Post s obvious but ineffectual attempts to confound him with that celebrated French hero of the chase Tartarin of Tarasoon' is very, very reprehensible, and should be frowned down. I expect to return ' to Washington on the 9th ' of November, resume my desk in the Department, and hold my peace. I have a placard hanging' over my desk iwhieh reads as follow: 'A wise man and fool may quar rel, but not if the wise man holdeth his peace,' and it's a good1 maxim fn that latitude and longitude." "We, the undersigned citizens and resident of Umatilla county, Oregon, be? to call your attention to the fact that the state laws, with mard to dam and fishways on the Umatilla river are being' flagrantly disregarded and that thousands of salmon die hi the lower Umatilla river, not being able to pass the obstructions. , "We .wish more particularly to call your attention to the dam of the Max well Land & Irrigation Company which is 10 feet high withottt adequate pro vision for the passage of fish. We earn estly request your assistance and would appreciate your personal attention." Mr. Van Dusen forwarded a letter to the Anglers' Association, enclosing a no tice to the Maxwell Land & Irrigation Company. 'The matter is now up to the district attorney ol Umatilla to see that the law is enforced.
