FALL GRAIN FROM ASTORIA.
We have the word of a Portland
capitalist who is quite close to th:
grain trade that a beginning is to be
made this fall in the matter of send
ing gTain abroad from this port.
While this is grateful news, it does
not surprise us so much as the old
contention that such commercial en
terprise was impossible.
Such a departure in the grain-handling
of the Northwest is as inevitable
as it is overwhelmingly logical; and
only a mistaken policy, adhered to on
the score of local prde up Portland
way, has kept the plan from practical
operation 'and immense success, all
these years. Portland, will, of course,
own, control and direct the business;
that is as inevitable as the other
proposition and no one deprecates the
conclusion, nor the fact. What we of
Astoria want is recognition and the
common-point rate. These secured,
by whatever agency, the rest will as
sert, and adjust, itself all in good time
and along the lines of least resistance,
as all commercial affairs do (when
they are permitted to.)
There are those who will say this
but anothers phase of the old, old
song which this port has been carol
ing for the better part of a century,
unsatisfied, ungratified; but it is the
only song we have the right to sing,
and we are glad to lift our voice in a
newer refran, rather than not sing at
all. Besides, there are new instrument
alities at work on this proposition,
now; buge investments and plans and
interests, that must coalesce in the un
fettering of this port and its rational
exploitation, in due time; and there
are terminal issues, in which this city
and port have never figured until this
year; transportation men and shippers
are awakening to the trenchant fact
that from $2000 to $5000 are to be
saved in the way of quick despatch
and port-charges on every ship load
ed out of here, and this is an appeal
that will, sooner or later, have its
rightful bearing in the maritime nego
tiations of the Northwest. So, we are
taking the word of the Portland man
in this relation, on the mere assump
tion that he is talking well in line
with what is reasonable, and clearly
within the prospect, tme, logic
and the law of commercial expansion,
have set up for this place.

THE DEMANDS OF LABOR.
Every rightly balanced man in the
i-nrtcu states win oe glad to see a
big measure of success reaped by the
acknowledged labor leaders of the
country, now before Congress with a
plea for amendatory and helpful legis
lation in matters of advanced moment
to the working crafts of the nation.
As usual, the President is carefully
scanning the program presented and
proposes to go so far in the premise
as is rational, and to recommend
everything that is prudent and timely
that they are asking. And again as
usual, he is not going the length of
their desires, at this particular time,
because he does not believe in making
their specific demands the leading
issue of the hour.
And the wise men in charge of
the demands are realizing the ex
pediency of his reservation and will
join with him, in the end, for the ac
complshment of all that may be had
at this time.
This is sensible alround, and will
tend to strengthen the claims of th;
great federations upon the Congress
of the people when the further and
greater demands are in line for pres
entation and treatment Like all
immense interests, those of labor must
be wrought in patience and persever
ance and abide the partial successes
as they shall result. There is nothing
wise, well-balanced, unified labor
cannot have if it goes about the thing
as its real leaders direct

CRITICS AND CHAMPIONS.
It makes pleasant reading, this
criticism and championing of Presi
dent Roosevelt, alternating through
the newspaper columns of the coun
try ;and especially when one observes
the unflagging energy with which the
President goes right ahead and does
and says things that suit the people
"down to the ground."
He is no panderer to popular
laudation; he has a reason for every
thing he does and a conviction of its
righteousness, else he would not do
it; and cheerfully, yet rarely, admits
what of mistakes he has made and
goes about the remedy with the same
snap that characterized the original
act.
He will never be so great as when
he shall have laid down the trust he
now holds from, and for, the people;
and the people will never lose sight
of him nor give him a living hour of
freedom from the specific duty of
guarding and caring for them. He is
no perfect man, but he is homest and
strong and helpful, and a masterly

been made for the erection of a num
oer ot auuitionai staterooms on
board of her; and as it is a well
known (act that she has far too many
rooms for her recent service on the
Portland-The Dalles run, it is now
conceded that she is to enter the S. P.
& S. summer service on the Columbia
between this city and Portland and
Vancouver, to counter-balance the
summer-resort traffic heretofore en
joyed almost exclusively by the T. J.

deny this project at and around Port

upon as settled.

NEW HIGH SCHOOL FOR N. Y.
NEW YORK, Mar. 21.-With more
than 2,000 high school girls using
mental telepathy to force the issue,
the board of estimates yesterday ap
proved an appropriation of $600,000
to build a new high school, to be cal
led the Washington Irving High
School.
Some time ago the land was pur
chased and all that was necessary was
the money for , the building. Peti
tions signed by every pupil in the
school and several thousand others
were sent to the board. At half past
ten o'clock, when the board consider
ed the matter yesterday, all class
duties were laid aside in the present
school and every pupil was asked to
think hard and urge on the board af
firmative action.
"Appropriate the money and give
us a new school" was said mentally
by the entire school and the mental
process apparently had its effect, as
the board passed the appropriation.
The new building will be erected in
Irving Place, between sixteenth and
Seventeenth Street.
