( 1 ' Almost two years to -a day, the country is called upon to turn its ever ready sympathies to a famous and stricken district, Chelsea, in the old Bay State, just 'as it did to the Golden Gate city, iif April, 1906; and it does this with instant and generous volumne. ' America leads the world in these splendid manifestations and it is Im mensely to the credit of the people that they can and will respond quick ly and cordially; it merges and welds the widely separated millions in a vast cohesive intimacy that cannot but be good for the founding of im perishable unity and appreciative confidence, factors of no small pro portions when one measures distances on this glorious continent. We are brothers and chums, from the St. Croix to the Columbia; from Boston to Astoria, and from the takes to the Keys of Florida. So 'may it be for all time to come! A RIGHTEOUS VETO. Once again Theodore Roosevelt,. President of the United States has done the right thing at the right moment, in vetoing the omnibus irri gation bill which involves immense and popular rights of the people. He holds that the water rights of the nation are to be conserved and used for the people and not given away to every applicant that shall ask for the purpose of turning a free and un hampered inheritance into a source of corporate greed and exploitation; he is standing by the waters and water nowes of the country just as he stood by the lands of the people, and doing it boldly and honestly and without temporizing or -shilly-shallying. . ', From one end of the United States to the other his action in this matter will be endorsed by the whole people and the hold he has upon the people of America will be the deeper, firmer and more justifiable, for it. This is the sort of thing that this country has needed all these years; the faculty of doing the right thing at the right moment. ASTORIA IS READY. The oolicy now developing as be tween the Government and the States for the creation of a broader National Guard service CillVJ, jw . meets with general approbation in this section of Oregon, and .Astoria is nnitp readv. with plenty of fine sniriteH vounz fellows and trained officers; to meet the new issue, and figure as practically as may be de sired of her. Aside from the urgency of advanc ing the military forces of the country which lie at the base of the move ment, it is an excellent thing for the toward whom it is di j " o i- - - x m rected, in the opportunity.it affords for the disciphnging, guiding, ana advancing of our youths along lines of patriotic public service, as well as extending a valuable arm of the pub lie defense, at a time when such im- nrovement is essential. We have no doubt the proposition ' to establish and station a company here will go with a im when the toAeml and state officers chareed with IVUVt the work shall have rounded out their nlans.' and all hands, the Astorian in u,Ati will cheerfully render what "MADE IN ASTORIAl" It has1 been demonstrated by Mr. Lew Ogan, the expert in clays and its products, such as brick, tiles, piping, terra cotta, etc., etc., that Clatsop county is unequivocally a favored center for supply of the hnest and readiest sorts, both in quality and quantity; and with such assurances as he has given with such example of the manufactured article as has put forth, it becomes the bounden duty of As- torians and Clatsopians to take a positive and open hand in launching this new industry; else they will be i;-,KU tn s rlinrco of communal indif- uuv.v vv v ' " C ference that may be hard to bear. If we cannot assume to sponsor our own advantages, to exploit them and assist in their material development, we need not look for that commercial appreciation beyond our borders, that goes to make for thirtfy progress and business confidence. Mr. Ogan has made a detailed and special effort in our interests as well as his own, and is entitled to full consideration at the hands of our investors. i If he can produce from a factory basis, in commercial quantities,, the' goods he has evolved from local clays, he has swung it up to this community to reward him honestly and promptly by frank and ample support; and the better and quicker thai Support, the wider and sooner the range of the new business may be determined. And this is not said m the peculiar interest of that gentle man; it is declared for the common good of this whole section. The mere fact that the shrewd and careful trustees of such an institution as the Weinhard Estate say, with perfect candor, that if this quality of build ing material shall be put out here, they Stand ready to buy the half mil ion brick heeded for the beautiful "Weinhard-Astoria," "the people here: have an assurance they cannot attord to disparage nor disregard fn a pure ly business sense; and this coupled with the fact that there are other equally important, tentative orders for the product, when he shall manu facture it, but emphasizes the unes- capable duty of this city and county to champion the venture and bring it to its paramount conclusion of suc cess. SALMON SEASON OF 1908. The 1908 salmon fishing season opens this day and the good 'will of Astoria is squarely behind her fisher men, her canners, packers, and stor axemen. We hope it will be a ban ner vear for all concerned; that tne nets will net handsomely in fish and finance, and that the generally out come will be such to cause all men to. he oroud of Astoria and her great inHnstrv: and above all else, we nope ... fW th marcrin of human sacrince may be nil in this year of grace and plenty. Go to it! VAST WEALTH IN WATER. Rv adorning a constructive policy with regard to tthe waterways of the state. Illinois has made a tardy but still timely admission of the fact that its water highways are assets as vaiu ble as its land highways. The oeoole of the state, keenly alive to tthe worth of their public franchises in general, have been con tent that their officials should ignore the wealth-producing water, proper ties which must be regarded as essen tiallv and inherently the properties nf the whole oeoole and, as sucn? lm ,,..i,r nncsPsspH hv a few to the IVVlll j dispossession of the many. As carriers of commerce and as the streams of Illinois have a value which even now ,v hut vazuelv comprehended. As producers of power on turbine wheels the rivers, thus far considered by en eineers as available, are rated, by rough estimates, as representing an investment of $176,500,000. In the project of river reclamation upon .which the state has entered, dealing with only two of the streams potential values representing, by a conservative estimate an investment of $69,200,000, or by a not unreason able estimate, an investment of$86, 500,000 are involved they being cap able of returning to the state from $3,4000,000 to $4,000,000 -annually. An important article by Gov. Charles S. Deneen, of the State of Illinois, opens thus, as the leading feature of the Technical World Ma gazine for Apriil. Governor Deneen deals N with Illinois' great water wealth in a wax to open the eyes, not only of Illinoisans, but of citizens of other states, to possibilities that are nothing less than astounding. The article' is well illustrated and should be read by every citizen of this half developed country. A QUEER SNOW FACT.

It is not likely that the prece dent thus firmly established will be broken hereafter. The time of the Lesflslnture will henceforth be devot ed to the business of the state; its on ly concern with the election of sena tors will be to fulfill tthe constitu tional form by ratification of an an tecedent popular choice, ij "Seldom has a body of public mtftl given a finer demonstration of loy alty to American principle than the Oregon Legislature gave in ratifying roinptly and (lecMivcly the papular election of Senators Mulkey and llournc, Hv doina this they have acknowledged the fundamental truth upon which our institution rest, namely: that oil power ultimately resides in the people and that when ever the people choose to exercise this power directly it is their right to do so.
