VAGEANT THOUGHTS
OF AN IDLER
PROMISES THAT THE NEW YEAR
HOLDS FOR ASTORIA'S PROSPER
ITY NO LOSS HAS OCCURRED
Hf THE PAST YEAR.
The iiuw year holda a perlfhj promic
of a Dplcmlid hotel (for Atorla, anyway.
Ono that will eol, when cmpleted and
furiiiidied, around the 4150,000 mark,
and will put Aatorla'a metropolitan plug
jut a few hole higher.
It alo k'ara the aurance of the
newcxt and moat magnificent court
boue In the atate, if or county purpoe,
and thi advantage will accrue even
earlier than the hotel. This make over
J:MI),OO0 wth of Improvement that
we wot of; an ettimate not to be
m-fxed at in the ftrat hour of the first
duy of the lOOHth year of the ChrUlan
era.
H I not certain, yet, that Mr. Gar
laud ha entirely overlooked thi port,
in hi calculation for a new tamhip
line.
A review of the pat 12 month of
Atiiil' history reveal nothing In the
way of Io or detriment in a commer
cial way. We have more than we had
'Mi day ago; people, money, busine,
and prospect. And thi U a good thing
to remember. We'll have atill more,
:13 day hence.
The name old bunch of reaolution were
worn to yesterday; they ' expire by
limitation on Sunday next. No excep
lion..
Among the exMdimit thing for A
toria in IH08 I a nolutlon of the lumber
rate problem; and. the application of
the "common point" on wheat to the
port of lAatorfa.
'Astoria generously ' tender the use
of her euperb and roomy bay to the
port of Portland whenever the hitter
Amis use for the ships she cannot an
chor or dock up there. There'a nothing
"narrow" about thi port nor it people.
It I said that the Hill terminal busi
nesa at the mouth of the Columbia is
to be located at Frankfort, opposite this
city, and that the grain from the Ill
land Kmpir is to reach there over a
continuous line of Xorthbank rail, to
be built at. a cost of $IS,000 per mile
from Kalama westward.' Thi informa
tion I entirely gratuitous and lack
nothing but Jame J. irill'a "O. K."
Also, the A. A C. It. R. yatem ia to be
extended San Franciaeo-ward at once.
Mr, Hill'a ignatur haaa busy yenr
ahead of it.
The city of Astoria ha two election
hilled for the present year. There is
much to engage the deepest thought of
the elector. Hi (franchise wa never ao
valuable a it will be thi year, if he
ue it with dlawimfnatlng Interest and
devotion to the common good of himself
ami hi fellow. . There are to be chosen
a President, a Governor, a Mayor, ataff
of State, County nnd City office, all
along the line M publlo aerrhse. Don't
forget it; and atart your thinker right
now!
The Chamlier of Commerce is going
to pry some thing loose this year. Let
every Astorian stand pat, and pray
some, too.
