THE DISLOYAL DOLLAR.
"Whatever money will buy at As
toria, for our needs and maintenance,
will be bought there." Thus spoke
A. B. Hammond, in the course of a
conversation with a well known As
torian, recently, in regard to the
policies of his company in this im
portant regard. And it furnishes forth
the text for something that must be
said, as well now, as later.
That far-seeing man meant that
the money his people made in 'As
toria, under their new milling pro
gram, would be turned back into the
local channels of trade and supply,
in so far as the city can provide the
things requisite; that they would do
their share in supporting the com
munity in which they figure as a
factor and from whence they derive
their local income. It is the very key
note of communal and individual
business success; a note that fails of
the sounding far too often in this
community, to which end the As
torian, with the best and most earn
est desire for the good of the whole
city broaches a word of warning at
this time:
There is too much Astoria-made
woney being spent at Portland and
other neighborhoods contiguous
thereto. Men have lived and done
business in shacks in Astoria, only
to take their home-made money
away and invest it where it
can never do this city or section a
fraction of good. Men build homes
here, and then send thousands to
Portland for furniture and other
equipment, to the detriment and dis
couragement of the home-city and
her merchants. This policy is known
and widely commented on, and it
rankles in the public conscience as a
deliberate injustice.

LEWISTON FORGETS.
Lewiston is urging Tacoma to
assist her in obtaining better trans
portation connections.
Has Lewiston forgotten, that when
recently, Astoria suggested better
rates between Lewiston and this
port, that the Lewiston press
unanimously declared they did not
wish to be removed further from the
sea?
Or does the inland city forget that
it and Tacoma are on opposite sides
of a lofty mountain range?
That Tacoma, by rail, is farther
away from her than is Astoria?.
That Astoria at the mouth of the
Columbia river is the natural sea
port for all towns on the Columbia
and Snake rivers and their tribu
taries?. If it has forgotten these things, we
respectfully urge them again upon
her ambitious consciousness, in the
bare hope that she may realize all
they mean to her and to Astoria.

SALARIES REDUCED
Of
The Officers Of The American
Smelting And Refining Co.
NEW YORK. June 23.-Salaries
and incidental expenses of officials of
the American Smelting and Refining
Company have been reduced $750,000
according to Daniel Guggenheim,
chairman and president of the comp
any. ' '
"Before I left for Europe" said Mr.
Guggenheimer, on his return from a
four months trip abroad, "I set the
rolling ball by reducing my own sal
ary.My brothers who devote their
entire time to the affairs of the comp
any, also reduced their salaries volun
tarily. "Like all well managed companies
we cleaned out augcan stables early
last spring. While our salary list is
reduced by $750,000, I am informed
that the efficiency of our labor has
been improved from sixty to eighty
per cent to nearly perfect. That
means another saving in expenses".
The rumor was denied that A. C.
Chester Beattie has left the employee
of the Guggenheims. Daniel Guggen
heim said that Mr. Beattie in all
probability would be the manager
in chief of the Guggenheim explora
t'on Company.
Mr. Guggenheim pointed out that
none of the Guggenheim brothers
drew any salary as officers or direct
ors of the Guggenheim Exploration
Company.

THIRD ANONYMOUS LETTER
$10,000 Must be Placed In Tin Can
at the Bronx Park Before June 30
Says the Letters Wife in Serious
Condition.
NEW YORK, June 23.-Steru
Brothers and Company, diamond and
jewelry merchants, have received the
third in a series of anonymous letters
which have been sent to the firm
since the disappearance last Tuesday
of Meier Newman, a diamond sales
man. The letter was turned over to
the police. It demanded, as has each
of the two proccding letters, that
$10,000 be placed in a tin can at the
entrance to the Bronx Park before
June 30. The letter supposed to have
be written by men who hold New
man in captivity and who will release
him only on payment of the ransom.
Policemen investigate the case yes
terday. No trace was found of the
movements of Newman since he left
his home last Tuesday with diamonds
worth $10,000. Mrs. Newman, the
wife of the missing man, has worried
so much over the disappearance that
her friends fear she will collapse
under the nervous strain.
Word was received from Baltimore
yesterday to the effect, that Newman
who was well known in that city, had
not been seen there since Tuesday.

OFFICER SKETCHES
Of The Career Of Army Men
Memorial Hall.
For
WASHINGTON, June , 23.-The
work of preparing sketches of the
cereer of army officers covering the
last decennial period for the memor
ial hall at West Point is now in prep
aration in anticipation of the bring
ing of the archives of that collection
up to the year 1910. Many people not
of army circles are not familiar with
the liberal bequest of the late Gen.
Cullom of the army who left a fort
une for the building of what is deem
ed by most people who have seen it
to be the most beautiful memorial
hall ever erected. It is the resting
place of tablets commemorating the
deeds of officers who died in battle
and in it are preserved the records
of all graduates of the military acad
emy. A long time is required to gath
er the information deposited in the
memorial hall every ten years. Men
who are engaged in this work declare
that among all the officers of the
army few if any, will show such a
record of having been under fire
during the last ten years as Gen Bell,
chief of staff. Gen Bell, it is said,
during the service in the Philippines
was under fire in 51 battles or
skirmishes. Many other officers have
extensive records of striking careers
as the past ten years have ben event
ful in military circles, the biographi
cal collection to be deposited at West
Point will be filled with incidents
worthy of study by the cadets who
look to that hal of fame for inspiration.
CONCESSION GRANTED
CITY OF MEXICO, June 23.--President
Cabreara has granted the
concession for thirty miles of rail
road necessary to complete the line

tal. The line, it is calculated, will be
completed within two months.' Two
Americans were 'given the concession.
ASTORIA THEATRE.
Georgia Harper and her excellent
company gave another fine perform
ance of Nell Gwynne at the Astoria
Theatre last niRht. Nell Gwynne will
be produced again tonight and to
morrow night's performance will be
the last of the engagement of this
excellent drama. On Thursday night
of this week Miss Harper will appear
in an elaborate production of Sapho.
In Miss Harper's portrayal ,of this
strong emotional role she has won
for herself an enviable reputation as
a high-class artist in this line of act
ing and a number of the critics claim
that she is among the best and in the
front rank with the country's fore
most artists in her masterful inter
pretation of Daudct's heroine. Miss
Harper's version of Sapho is a most
pleasing one there being an abund
ance of bright comedy to relieve the
sadder portions. The production will
be staged in an elaborate style. It
is said to be a revelation in historical
accuracy and lavish scenic accesso
ries which will make a pleasing pic
ture cm the roomy stage pf the As
toria theatre. Joseph Dctrick will be
seen as Jean Gaussin a part well suit
ed to him and the balance of the
large supporting cast of 20 people
will play the other numerous char
acters. , -

One Of The Six Admirals Of The
British Fleet Arrives at Frisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 23. Sir
James Elphinstonc Erskine, senior of
the six admirals of the British fleet,
arriver in this city yesterday on his
way around the world, accompanied
by his wife and family. In an inter
view, he is quoted as expressing the
opinion that the Pacific will be the
scene of the next ocean warfare
though he would not say between
what powers. He also expressed the
conviction that still greater battle
ships than ever yet have been plan
ned, would be laid down in future
naval programs that vessels of the
Dreadnaught type had not yet reach
ed their fullest development. The
tendency, he said, was to put as
many guns as could be on a single
base. The admiral, who is making a
two years tour, came here by way
of the straits of Magellan. After a
stay of a few days, he will proceed on
his way to the orient by way of Brit
ish Columbia. Being 69 years of age
the admiral will go on the retired
list next year. . '
