A PORT OF OUR OWH.
Everywhere, yesterday, there was
genuine and enthusiastic approval of
M5r. WingatKa proposition to perfect
the legal status of the Port of Astoria
tad" it is conceded to be one of tie best
and most essential things the Chamber
of Commerce has yet stood for.
The general opinion seems to be that
the work can be devised and earned
through successfully, avoiding all the
blunders and weaknesses that have be
set the Port of Portland; that it can
be made a sound base for the prosecu
tion of all marine improvement and pro
gress we are committed to and that it
will place the city and port beyond the
interference of ambitions that have an
tiumnixed and embarrassed us in the
0- -
past and put us on a dead level of op
portunity with every other maritime
place on the coast.
That A. M. Smith has been placed on
the) committee is taken to mean that
hi best thought and energy will be gW-
en us in the legal and adequate pre
paraiion of the measure that is to be
submitted and that we will have little to
fear from successful gerrymandering of
the propsition if it has an enemy dis
posed that way; and the life-long ex
nerience and ' intimate knowledge of
James W Welch the third committee
man, will be invaluable in the work of
his colleagues. Altogether, the idea as
very popular and, with timely concep
tion and deliberate preparation, the en
terprise can, and will, be wrought out
with gratifying success.
HOME-BRAINS, H0ME-HAHD3.
Astoria has made up its mind to
tackle it own future and wring its
own successes from the Box of Pan'
' dora by clever and opportune use of her
own brains and hands; at least, in all
the initial steps requisite. There are
number of strong cards ready for the
playing; several already being played
and more still Jn tie deck; and, so far,
the deal looks assuring for some very
pronounced winnings in 1908. ';.
We have cfear-cut notions of what
we iwant and some not unclever ideas
of how to go about achieving it; our
only- trouble in the past being, that we
were satisfied to hold what was deemed
to be the cardinal prestige of location
and natural equipment, and that it was
the business of the. outsider to come in
and exploit things for his own and our,
mutual, advantage: Now, we think dif
f erently. We will start our own mills,
set np our own pori, dig for our own
oil reduce our own ores, prepare our
own clays, build our own docks, charter
our own ships, strive for our own com'
merce, and, generally, "do those things
we have left undone."
At all events we play our string;
bring our available and dependable
agencies up to a point of efficiency and
demonstrable value, that will warrant
the outsider in coming to our assist
ance and perfecting the processes of
development and realization: And no
place on earth can do more than that,
unless she be favored more abundantly
than Astoria, which is hardly possible.

the mere weariness of it would est up
distinct degree of contempt even if
he had not gone into details and ac
quired the real derision that is war
ranted. The citiwn knows, to the miuu-
test particular, just how he has been
swindled, who did it. the measure,
method and monstrosity of it all: And
the result is simply a supreme and sil

own supreme and stupid complicity in

things; at present the short of the
stature of a citisenehip that exerts so
prideful a stand; he has been systems
tically and brazenly robbed and haa ac
tually chummed with the thieves; shut
his eyes and threw up his hands while
they went through him, then banqueted
his disposers and ranged up for their
defense with an order sublimely childish
and entirely adequate so far as the
salvation of. the scoundrels was con
cerned.
No element of the corporate life of
the nation displays such astounding
and illimitable lines of transgression as
do the those combinations responsible
for the looting of the lands and forests
of America; they excel even the rail
ways in their rapacity and capacity for
accumulating what does not belong to
them; their perversion of the public
domain, the audacity of their systems,
the fearful successes, and their cool and
contemptuous resistance to the retri
butive end of the law they have trodden
upon all the way to their venal achieve
ments, is one of the criminal marvels
of the age and its paramount disgrace,
and must be so dealt with in all his
tories of the time to come.

FOOTBALL RULES DISCUSSED.
NEW YORK. Jan. 21. The forward
pass and many other much discussed
points of the football rules will be dis
cussed and possibly modified at a meet
in of the football rules committee
which will be held in New York on
Friday and Saturday. There has been
so much discussion and criticism of the
forward pass that it is probable that
most of the time of the committee will
be taken up in discussing this feature
of the rule. The Intercollegiate Asso
ciation haa already advocated a modifi
cation of the rule and several members
of the old committee are "said to favor
such modification. The new committee
consists of seven members elected by
the Intercollegiate Association . in ad
dition to the seven members of the old
committee. The members are
