FOUR NEW POTENTIALTIES.
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. '

honor that name. 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,

. 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

"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

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.

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.
