If any one has 50 acres of land that
they wil rent to Mr. Warwick for one
year with the privilege of buying, the
Chamber of Commerce will let him

good for raising potatoes aid if any

R. H. Leather Improving
The condition of R. M. Leathers
last evening wa quite encouraging to
hi family and friends and every hope
is entertained of his timely and com
plete recovery. The rumor that he
had been stricken by paralysis was
altogether erroneous, and hi malady
is reported by hit physician as a
combination of stomach trouble andJ
la grippe- The Astorian had prepar
ed full account of Mr. Leathers'
collapse and illness for yesterday's
edition, but by one of those unforseen
inadvertancie that frequently over
take the .best managed newspaper of
fices, the matter got by the printer
and failed to appear with the rest of
the local newt of importance.
PORTLAND TAKES IT
AS USUAL
STEAMER SUE H. ELMORE
GOES TO METROPOLIS ON
NEXT VOYAGE AND MAIN
TAINS HEADQUARTER TER
MINUS THERE HEREAFTER.
By a clever ruse Portland takes
from thit city the terminal business
of the Pacific Navigation Company
(otherwise, S. Elmore & Company),
and when the steamer Sue H. Elmore
return from her next trip to Tilla
mook Bay, she will go on to the
metropolis ' direct, and thereafter,
wtli sail from there as her headquar
ter terminal.
The means resorted to in behalf of
this scheme, was the steady advance
in the rates, hence to Portland, on the
Tillamook produce brought in here
by the Sue H .Elmore; the'climax
asserting itself in her owners' final
decision to absorb these exorbitant,
and increasing, rates, in sheer self
defence, It is the old story of manipulation
as against this' port, on the part of
Portland; and in the matter under
treatment, seems to have been a very
simple ' and successful transaction.
Now, that she ha captured the busi
ness, it is morally certain the people
of this city will hear no more howls
an hub-bub about the "wretched ser
vice between Astoria and Tillamook."
It all be lovely and gratifying and
successful, since Portland , has the
business in charge; and for the sake
of the Tillamookians, the people of
Astoria hope it may be.
The Sue H. Elmore was the only
sea-going craft out of this port, or
Portland either, for the matter of
that, that was owned by local people,
and she will be the first to sail out
of Jhe metropolis with an Oregon
owner. ,
