Kay by day, and year by year, the ranks of the splendid pioneer group of Oregon are thinning; all too soon we ball be called upon to mark the passing of the last noble soul who may justly claim the honor and prerogative of hav ing founded this great, commonwealth and given forth the heirs that are to perpetuate H. The death of Mrs. Sarah fDanuon Owens, at Empire City, on Thursday last, accentuates the nearness of this aad phase of our history, her four score years and ten, of life, point ing plainly to the unconsidered flight of time, time that consumes, absorbs, ob literates, and takes from all men that which they cherish most. No limit may be put upon the tender new wherewith we shall deal with the few who remain of this great duster of stalwart parents of our statehood; and if we have fallen abort, ever, in the measure of our tribute and considera tion for them, we may find surcease from reproach in the fuller honor we shall pay to those still surviving. The late Mrs. Owens waa of the "Mothers in Israel" of old Clatsop and left an unfading impress of her noble (character upon the community, her chil dren, and her children's children, being yet with us to share the benefice of her gracious career and her fine strong wom anhood, live children, eleven grand children and seventen great grand-children survive- her and possess the inher ent fight to tread the paths of honor ha marked out and to urge the course upon thoee who look to them for guid ance. . The study of such characters as hers makes doubly manifest to ua all the priceless quality of our heritage. By the light of their faith and patience, courage and success, we may better guage the real value of our work and worth, and warrant aa their accredited successors in the illimitable tasks of civilized life. . . , . A FRIENDLY HINT. WJiile the Port landers are about it they may as weU save themselves what of loss and time is possible to be saved by a careful revision of the newly pro posed Port of Portland bilL For instance the clause wherein the port reserves to itoeH the limitation of liability in the turn of (10,000, covering loss and dam age to Tceself by reason of the careless mem of the tug-masters and pilots oper ating under its aegis, is worth a close review for the purposes of amendment in that it shall not conflict with the federal supreme court decision in the case of the ship Thrasher, for which the tug-owner, Warren, of Victoria, paid the full cost of vessel and cargo and wrecked a fine business in the doing of it. The owners of the Thrasher and Warren fought the matter of liability through all the court of the land and the decision of the Ad miralty court waa sustained and the tug-man went to the wall. The Warren tug fastened on to the Thrasher and entered the Straits of , Fuca, Victoria-bound, without a licensed pilot n board the tow, and the ship veered out her course a hawer length and smashed on the rocks. This was the basis of one of the most famous marine fights ever put up. and its issue is offb so old, old as it is,, as to preclude it from having a direct bearing on con travention of the clause alluded to. , WJe suggest it out of sheer good feel ing toward those in charge of the meas ure, and if we see anything else worth their notice we may call attention to it.

Be wary, gentlemen, of the terms of vour new law! Remember the fate of Port of Columbia bill! I WE QUIT, RIGHT HERE I . ; - We have never, for a moment, cher ished the notion of interfering with Portland in any of her cherished plans for commercial up lift, save in the case of the Port of Portland bill, last winter, when we opposed her 'tcenth and nail'on the simple ground of self-defense and made good in the fight. We know the futility of contending single handed against her, and the hopelessness of her ever doing aught for this city or this end of the river. We are in her way here; she want to maintain supreme control of the maritime commerce of the state, and will probably do so until the fortuitous turn shall be made that shall give us our share of it, a the near est, most natural, most feasible, of allj the cities and harbors in Oregon. i Our contention, latcrly, has not been made with a view of thwarting her ambitions along this line (save, insofar as she might seek to do it by revamp ing that bill and using at to hamper and involve us), but against her wilful and cold-blooded oversight of the honest claim of Astoria to commercial consid eration, as the second city and the best port in the State, and the persistancy of the Oregonian in heralding the Sound ports as the only alternative left the people of Oregon if Portland shall fail to make good in her ambition. We quit, right here! It's np to As toria and Astorians to save their own faces. . If this city has the snap, the eumption, the money, and business nerve to go after things, to do thing, to gain things, and to profit by them, now is her chance to do something; if ehe has no qualities f this sort she may simmer into "innocuous desuetude" and make the beet of her inanition. We are here to fight for her when it is neces sary, but we want a shoulder-mate, a cause, and the backing that goes with honest championship. This man's town has no recourse save her own pluck and spirit and power, and ehe ned not look elsewhere for aid or comfort!

In the course of hi peregrination about the city, yesterday, h found him self at a point on the waterfront within easy striking distance of the oflWe of the Columbia River Packer' Associa tion oulires, provided he footed it across a couple of hundred feet of A. A C. railway trestle, or, otherwise going round about fop several blocks; and "time be ing of the essence" of all Gram's con tract, he decided to use the open trestle, especially a there waa no engine nor train in motion anywhere near him. So he boldly went bis way, picking his route along the rain-soaked tie and list ening to the suggestive "swashing" of the floor-tide below, eye down, and um brella up, with the single and sole idea of planting bis foot safely on each alter nate tie ahead of him. At the usual critical moment he heard the midden clang of an engine bell, and glancing up, he say old "No. 1," the yard engine of the A. A C. bearing down on him (having just filled her oil tank at th Standard plant) hustl ing to her duties up at the depot yard. Gram waa exactly midway between two bent with no chance of stepping out onto a cap, and not knowing just how fast the engine was moving he dis counted the fleeting notion he had of taking the foot -board that hung below the tanks on the rear of the engine, and casting hi umbrella to the wind of heaven and the tide of the Columbia, he scuttled over the tie-end and hung on the four-by-four guard rail on the outer aide of the track until the danger waa past, and then clambered back on the tie and began a hunt for hi "lost nerve," which be oon found, and pro ceeded, more than gingerly, over the balance of the route. Hi umbrella was reported later as' having crossed the Columbia bar, and headed south, like a black can-buoy out on a "glad-time." Charlie says it waa "swim, or hang," and he chose the latter even with the alter native startlingly imminent and in spite of the fact that "No. 1" dropped all sorts of hot water on his hand a she went by. He ha pretty nearly recov ered, however, and the memory of it will be the most poignant element of the affair. This is written to perpetu ate it!
