That Clatsop has (our new and poten tial resources i a fact that has been merged fixedly into her industrial bill of particulars, this year, and it only re mains for the thrift and anap of her people to accentuate them in proveabk ad profitable fashion. She has fuel oil, illuminating gas, potters" clay, and iron sand, in endless quantities, and of qualites appertaining to such organic attributes. She cannot afford to "lay down" on a single one of them; nor will she; but there is always a season of apparent inertia before the proper and .final steps are taken for the exploita tion of aw benefice, due, in a measure, to the assurance that they are known to j on band when wanted, and not at all likely to get away. The hour has arrived, however, when w want them, everyone; we can make splendid use of them now, and even their primary development will contrt bute immensely in retrieving what has been a very dubious situation here, and give practical impetus to the financial and industrial energies awaiting appu cation. Anyone of these strong agencies would be opportune and available just cow, and if they could be launched in concert it would be . wonderfully ad vantageous. We want to get right in behind these enterpnaea end boost tnm to realization because we feel deeply their significance and value and timeli ness. ' . . . .THE. . . SCANDINAVIAN AMERICAN .

We want no war- and are seeking none; but if one is to coin. we should not mind seeing this sam brilliant oflk-ex in the fore'-f rout of such records of honor as shall be made, a contingency not so improbable when one inspect the existing status he enjoys in the army; for it is said of him that he is a typical soldier, a hard student, a brilliant tactician, quiet, reserved, well poised, and. without egotism, endeavor ing to live up to the tradition that in vest him and his career: And while he is about it, we trust he will not forget to pass on to the next generation the great American name he bears; and that the custom will never be relinquished, in order that we mav come to look upon the name aa a sign-manual of honor and glory and come to expect these things from that particular ana pregnant source. , TAMMANY FORNINST HIM. Brer" Bryan's troubles have begun with the open declaration of Tammany ttat it is against him in his 'steentb candidacy for Presidential honors. With the leading, and most powerful political organization of the East opposed to him, the great Xebraskan has need of all his sagacity to nurse a prestige in New York that shall avail him abroad through the country at large. We con fees, frankly, we are opposed to Mr. Bryan on the score of partisan align ment and on the assured fallacy of his ability to carry out bis administrative theories in the (unlikely) event of his election. The twice-defeated candidate for such exalted office is sure to be the victim of the third defeat, and this, without dis paragment of his really high purpose and ' honorable ambition in behalf of the people. The actual attitude of W. J. Bryan in this country, nowadays, should be that of a "has been,'' if the glaring lack of popular endorsement can estab lish such a condition, especially when H i coupled with the inescapable dreid of reaction attaching to any subsequent success in that line (for if be became President every active dollar in the na tion that could be spared from current use would fly into hiding and stay there for four long years), and it would seem that this conviction must strike in on the perennial William, sometime, and give the country surcease from these quadrennial anxieties, v 0 : : ! . U. S. GRANT, IIL The marriage, at Washington, on Wednesday afternoon last, of young Ulysses S. Grant and Mb Edith Root,! dauehter of the present Secretary of State, is, in a certain sense, a matter of national interest. The name of the sol dierly young groom, as well as his pro fession! arms, must, necessarily, raiie! reverential memories of his famous grand sire, and beget pleasant and portentious 'hopes in his behalf and in that of the people who (have such profound cause to "SMILE AND LOOK PLEASANT The heavy movement of grain for the tremendous crop of the present' year has been tempororily delayed by the fin ancial situation, but. is sow on, and the months of November and December will make the record shipments of all his tory. There are twenty-three vessels in Portland Harbor at this time, including steamers and sailing craft, and their principal cargo will be grain and flour. The equipment in Puget Sound port is similar to that here. A few months must of necessity make the financial situation in this part of the United States better tfean, it ever has been be fore, and in the face of figures such as these it is impossible for anyone to pre sent inconvenience as to actual cash. The substantial condition of the Paci fic Northwest is illustrated in a most convincing way by the wheat and flour shipments of Columbia River and Puget Sound ports. For the ten month be ginning January 1st and ending October 31st, there were exported from Portland and Puget Sound ports (including Seat tle, Tacoma and other points,) a total of 8.893,480 bushels of wheat, and a tot al of 3,501,726 barrels of flour. The ex act figures are. Portland 5,380,050 bu. wheat; 1,188,- 886 bbls. flour. Seattle, Tacoma and other Sound ports 3,513,430 bu. wheat; 2,392,840 bbls. flour. . BE AN OPTIMIST. The output of lumber from the saw mills and shingle mills, as welU as the product of box and furniture factories, and all industries using native woods has been greater during the present year than ever before, and the cash for fail is constantly coming in. The live-stock industry has bad good year, the wool clip ha been enormous, while fruit iu 1007 has added to the wealth of Orgou and Washington at least 30 per cent more than during pros perous 11HK1. Xo figure are available on the daily products of Washington, but Oregon ha jumped from nothing ten year ago t4 $5,000,000 five yearn ago, and $17,000,000 during 1007. The progress in irrigation ha never been so marked as during the ten month just passed, both in government and private project. More homebuilders have come into the Pacific Northwest than ever before, one system of railroad reporting for Oregon poiut alone 230 colonists for every day between Sept.lst and Oct Jlst. Many of these new settler have come to the state with from (2,000 to $30,000 and have invented it, the result will be a great increase in the productiveness of both states.

The products of the farm and orchard are bringing the highest possible price, and that conditions will be normal and that substantial prosperity will reign here within the next 90 days is abso lutely assured, if people can only get into the habit of looking through opti mistic glasses and there is not a single sound reason why anyone should be pessimistic.

EXPRESS MUCH ENTHUSIASM Project Thoroughly Practical tnd Will Not Cost Enormous Sum Engineer Hegardt Presents Plans Prominent Citiiens Express Their Opinions, About 30 of the leading taxpayer and business men met yesterday afternoon iu the odke of the Chamber of Com merce at the invitation of the promo tion eontmitte to hear what Civil Ku- giueer O. B. llegardt, of Portland, had to say upon the important subject of building a seawall for Astoria. To say that Uio who were preacnt became enthusiastic over the subject would be putting Uie ease very mlKlly indeed. "It waa the uioxt satisfactory meeting I ever saw on this or any other subject in Astoria," (d Bremen Van Duen. "It U to simple that I am turpriicd that everybody iu Astoria did not think of it 30 years ago. I see now that any body can be a great engineer. I am In favor of duing this work as soon as possible and 1 know of nothing now standing in the way but financial con dition which will presently be in shape again,'' aid Mr. 0. C. Fulton. These were only a few of the expre- im that were heard on all side dur ing the meeting or after it wo over. President Welch of the Chamber of Com merce who ha been an enthusiastic up' porter of the seawall 'proposition for many year said he was thoroughly In accord with Mr. Hegardt' plan ami everyone of them could most easily be carried out. Mayor Wise said he thought that the great seawall proposi tion bad now been started In the right direction and in a practical manner. The three important point that were brought out by Mr. Hegardt' informal remarks and which desm to be re membered by all Astorians, a ret 1 -ITie approximate cost of the sea wall will be 25 per running foot or about tlOO.000 per mile. 2 The cost of filling as near aa It can be roughly estimated at thk time will be about t400 per lot. These are the two vital point that taxpayer first aunt to know. 3 The fllling in and seawall proposition may and most probably will be a saving of money over present condition. After Mr. Hegardt bad thoroughly ex plained hi plan and afU-r all present had freely interrogated him concerning it, President Welch put the following motion: - "Moved. That the City Council be petitioned to instruct City Engineer A, 8. Tee to prepare the data for thi sea wall and flllingin proposition as Mr. Hegardt may ask for H." Mr. V, I Parker seconded the motion and it was put by Mayor Wise and most heartily carried. Mayor Wic offered the remark that he would do everything In his power to assist through th city officials towards the end the resolution sought. Dr. W. C. Ixgan, president of the oity council also expressed his de sire to be of every possible assistance. Mr. Hergarvlt explained that it would take at least three months to prepare all of the data and plans, which work could be carried on now to a beter ad vantage because financial conditions limited efforts in many otlher directions. After the plans have been perfected by city Engineer Tee and Engineer Hegardt the next step will be the drafting of a bill to be voted on by the people of Astoria either at regular or a special election. Mr. 0. C. Fulton stated that the legislature had nothing to do with the proposition and that it was one in which the people of Astoria alone were interested. While he did not believe that financial conditions warranted the taking hold of any tax or bond questions vigorously at thi tmie, he believed that by the time the next election , rolled around we ought to have everything in shape to vote on tin's important proposi tion 'which means to much for Astoria. The third very important point brought out during the discussion and which has already been mentioned that it was pos sible and probable after City Engineer Tee has prepared the data, Mr, Hegardt would require it would be found calcu lating upona 50 years' tax, that the seawall proposition as Mr, Hegardt pro posed it, would be one through! which the property owners of Astoria j would save money, compared 'with the presimt high rate of insurance and "cost of jnaJ,jrtainIng. juperstructure,was., a most telling one. , At the conclusion of the meeting a hearty vote of thanks was unanimously tendered Mr,1 Hegardt.
