RATHER CHEAP HAGGLING-
It may be said, in passing that there
is scarcely a biennial legislative ses
sion held in Oregon, at which there
is not expended, in immensely less
compensating ways than for the up
lift and progress of one of the State's
prideful institutions, as much, and of
ten more, than the $125,000 it is pro
posed to grant the University of Ore
gon; and the haggling that has been
done conveys to the world about us,
the impression of our cheapness and
smallness in things educational. j
With a board of regents culled
from the brain and character of the
State, it would seem that so pitiful a
sum as this might be freed, for legi
timate uses from the treasury, with
out the chance of financial paralysis,
or cataclysmal graft; that the great
State of Oregon might do this thing
with the same spirit and high intel
ligence wherewith other States grant
millions in such behalf; that$ she
might realize that her sons and
.daughters are without price when it
comes to their equipment for life and
its strifes, achievements and graces;
that as a great commonwealth she
might at least do as much as hund
f individuals are doine. daily,

currents, utilised by the great trans
portation agencies whose very lite
and service depends the directness
and lowest grades of the rails, and
the depth and olume of the water
ways: This is a primal proposition.
and we of Astoria recognise it fully.
We have chafed, for years, against
the non-acceptance of what, as a
river and tidal terminus, we believed
we had to offer, and have, with the
.1,1. advantage of the rail. We are
still relying upon the inevitable, and
we know it is nearer than it has been
ever in our history.
But we know, also, that the to
Utnibia river bar, with the best of
workinor deoths across it, would be
9
serving but a fraction of its immense
duty if only the rail traffic from thi
Inland Empire were to go hence via
our doors; and that we need every
open navigable waterway behind us
we can get, and above all, an open,
deep and traversable Columbia, to its
uttermost mile.
With the Columbia river navigable
for 1,000 miles the commerce of the
lower cities and towns would in
crease 1,000 fold, and as we lie at the
sea-end of the vast system, we shall
stultify ourselves if we do not stand
oat for the greatest improvement oD
tainable for this mighty artery and all
its tributaries. We want a water
way tonnage from the interior that
shall stagger the exporting facilities
nnint of deDarture. from
vv.j r - j
Portland to the sea, for every chan
nel it shall traverse leads to this port.
With a free bar, a free nver, and free
net-work of inland tributaries, and the
rails already laid and yet to be laid,
Astoria must find her place and com
mercial standard in the tremendous
mesh of business thus woven. , ,

Repukl'can Candidate for Repre

"NO. 332".
When the vote of Oregon shall
have been cast and counted in June
next, we hope, for the name of civili
zation in the great Northwest, that
the peremptory sign "X" will have
been placed against the margin of the
entry, on the ballots, that stands for
the law stopping commercial fishing
at the head of tide-water in the Co
lumbia river.
It stands not only for the fixing of
legitimate limits to the legitimate in
dustry of fishing for, the markets of
the world, but amplifies that market
for long years to come, by putting a
stop to the relentless murder f fry
and eggs and makes the spawning of
salmon something more than a use
less natural function.
The affirmative vote on bill No. 332
may drive, at least, 13 people out of
business, and a nefarious business at
that: while it perpetuates the legit
imate calling and maintenance of ten
thousand people and millions of in
vested money on the lower Columbia,
along with an annual revenue to the
neoole of the State of over ?3,00U,UUU;
and we cannot imagine a popularly
stupid indifference, great enough, in
Oregon, to compass anything else
than the triumph of this bill, over
the specious and desperate pleas of
tth men whnsp buccaneering fish-
wheels have wrought them wealth
while it devastated a magnificent industry.
Steps will be taken to spread the
gospel of truth in this important re
lation until it shall reach the last
vnter in the State. The word has
gone forth from Astoria, well spon
sored and plainly stated, and it will
be still further stated and vouched un
