Now that this city and port has con eluded to go its own pace and do for itself those things most essential to its commercial progress, it were well to define, and go at, the basic matters in order to have something safe and solid to build upon. ' And from the best expression of popular sentiment, as heard on the streets and public places hefe, the two most necessitous elements of the Astorian program are, the establishment of the Port of Astoria upon the same full lines as Portland is proposing to de velop her port, and the extension of the "common-point" rate on grain to this city and port One is as essen tial as the other and both are practi cally inseparable in the working out of what shall follow. The preparation of the Port of Astoria initiative is in excellent hands and will be sent to the people in due time for their action at the June polls and should include the whole of Clatsop county so far as its authority and operation go. Once we have the legal, commercial status upon which to conduct our maritime negotiations, we will be independent of any other commercial influence, in the State, or out of it, save for whatwe may cul tivate upon friendly and business basis in the future; and even in this behalf we shall be in wonderfully better shape. As to the extension of the common point rate to Astoria, we have but to invoke the latest amendment to the Interstate Commerce Law, which confers the rate upon any point- in the field where it operates and to which it may be rationally extended as a shipping center in the district where the rate prevails. It is not probable that the transportation lines involved in such a step will make any determined fight against it for the simple reason that the three com panies with any right to set up oppo sition, are, practically, under one sys tem of ownership and control, the Great Northern, the Northern Pa cific, and the Portland & Seattle; and any contention they may be disposed to make will be offered upon the hypothesis that they, themselves, are not yet ready to haul grain here upon a common or any other rate. Yet this plea would not avail to hinder us in preparing for the business we are en titled to, and must have in a very short time; especially as we are lay ing the fundament of a legally estab lished terminal port for the handling of this very business. The Chamber of Commerce is moving carefully and thoughtfully on these two important lines and by the time they are achieved we are likely to know a good deal more about our real attitude with the great concerns that will eveneually control this business, than we have, as yet, been able to ascertain with even a shadow of certainty. We hope to see both measures pressed to conclusion and that that conclusion will be profitable for all concerned, the port, and the railways leading to the port 0 DIED AT HIS POST. Deep as the regret everywhere is over the death of Captain William E. Larkins, who expired from heart dis ease at the wheel of the Lurline in Portland early On Monday morning, there is almost universal comment on the, fact that he died at his post, the sign-manual of the best faith a man can "show to his trust, and to those who have confided it to him. No John D. Rockefeller, Jr., advises that no money be lent to a friend without a note. Evidently he has not been burdened with worthless "prom ises to pay." Ice trust magnates" get cold com fort from the decision of a high court that it's a jail they are to go to, in stead of workhouse. Dispatches saying that "Central America is on the verge of revolu tion" seem to have a familiar ring, somehow. greater tribute can be paid to any man than to say he was ever faithful; and this is what all men say of Cap tain Larkins. . The waterfront people of the metropolis, and from there, all along the Columbia river, to the Flavcl dock in this city, there is only the word of praise and genuine re spect for this man who for nearly two score years has been in almost daily touch with the river population; and always with that kindly, pleasant and certain intimacy that makes for such a career as his. To be famous is one thing; to be true, constantly and unwaveringly, is another, and the best 09 S EDITORIAL SALAD. s) Are American women coining to their senses? Some Paris importations pf gowns and lingerie which were sold at auction yesterday by the gov ernment did not bring enough to pay purchase of the property by arbitra tion. It fortunately specifies that the property must be secured by con demnation. This is why the federal authorities, through .Assistant Dis trict Attorney Clark have a suit of that kind.

Now a pause in two-cent fare legis lation, while folks think. BIG ARMY DEPOT. -The SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 28. Examiner says: The federal authorities have taken definate steps to secure a site here for the biggest United States army depot in the country. It is to be lo cated on part of the existing army reservation at Fort Mason and then run northerly on land at present sub merged. ' This submerged land is owned by the Dore family of this city and Mrs. Herman Oelrichs and her sister, Mrs. Wm. K, Vanderbilt, jr., of New York. The land is to be condemned in the United States Circuit Court Assis tant United States District Attorney Clark perfected a suit for that pur pose yesterday, ongress has already appropriated $1,500,000 to pay for the site and filling in the submerged sec tion. Outside the price of the con demned land the depot with its many buildings and wharves is to cost fully two million dollars. The land to be condemned lies be tween Laguna and Lewis Streets and Van Ness Avenue and today is a small, shallow arm of the bay, upon which the headquarters of General Funston looks. Congress in passing its $1,500,000 appropriation bill for condemnation and other purposes, did not provide in the act for the COFFEE Why doesn't your gro cer money back every thing?

Best; we par bint fact that one well-known local phar macy supplied the ingredients for the "vegetable prescription" many time within the past two weeks. The an nouncement of this simple, harmless mixture has certainly accomplished much ia reducing the great many cases of kidney complaint and rheu matism here, relieving pain and mis ery, especially among the older popu lation, who are always suffering more or less with bladder and urinary troubles, backache and particularly rheumatism. Another well-known druggist asks us to continue the announcement of the prescription. It is doing so much real good here, he continues, that it would be a crime not to do so. It can not be repeated too often, and further states many cases of remark able cures wrought The following is the prescription, of simple ingredients, making harmless, inexpensive compound, which any person can prepare by shaking will in a bottle: Fluid Ex tract uanaenon. one-halt ounce: Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Any first-class drug store will sell this small amount of each ingredient, and the dose for adults 's one feaspoonful to be taken after each meal and again at bedtime; There is enough here to last for one week, if taken according to directions. Good results will be apparent from the first few doses. There is nothing alarming in the Hayti rebellion. It was due; that's all Sank Foolishness.
