What presages a new era in the transportation situation of Astoria will dawn today when the steamship Nebraskan of the American-Hawaiian Steam ship Company will arrive in port for the first time to take cargo for New York, the Hawaiian Islands and the Orient. The Nebraskan comes here from Seattle and has a general cargo, upwards of 500 tons of which will be made up in Astoria, The credit for the making of arrangements with the American-Hawaiian Steamship Company so that Astoria will hereafter be a port of call on regular trips from Seattle to the Hawaiian Islands and New York, is due to the energy and enterprise of Mr. Samuel Elmore. This arrangement is but the beginning of a new era in transportation for Astoria and the Columbia River basin. Other transportation advantages of eqv.a". note shall be added to this one very marked advantage in the near future. But insofar as the arrangement that has been made with the American Hawaiian Steamship Company is concerned it is first: necessarv tn tw from this time on it is up to the business men and tha Chamber of Commerce of Astoria to secure an ever-growing cargo and! enlarging business with Hawaii and the Orient and New York, in order that the advantages already obtained may in a little while become so profitable to the steamship- company and to the local merchants that they will be considered as fixtures. On April 9 the Chamber of Commerce wrote to the Promotion Committee ot tionoiuiu stating that they would be glad to correspond with this com mittee in case an opportunity might be had there to ho a business in ffonr anu gram uircci oeiween tne mouth ot the Columbia River and the Hawaiian Islands. The Chamber of Commerce stated that if there was such an oppor tunity to do business, m all probability arrangements could be made here . i. i accordingly. On April 22 Secretary H. P. Wood of the Honolulu Promotion Com mittee replied saying that he knew of no opening at the present time for a flour and grain business direct between Astoria and Honolulu H. sr. gested that the Chamber of Commerce write to the agents of the American- Hawaiian steamship Company at San Francisco asking them if there was any liklihood of their calling at the port of Astoria. On May 2nd the Chamber of Commerce, acting on Secretary Wood's suggestion, wrote to the San Francisco agents of the American-Hawaiian Steamship Company, asking if they would care to investigate the possibilities of having their ships carry grain and flour from this port to Hawaii, and stat ing that considerable business could be worked up in Astoria if the matter interested them. On May 5th the San Francisco agents replied, stating that at the present time they could not entertain shipments of grain and flour from this port to the Hawaiian Islands. They added, however, that thev ter before them and if at any time they arrived at a different decision, would' notify the Astoria Chamber of Commerce promptly. While this correspondence was probably of pioneer effect vet it 4. : r.. f vt . mamea lor mr. samuei cuuore to pertect the negotiations which have resulted m the Drtngmg ot the steamer Nebraskan to Astoria. Mr. Elmore concluded this arrangement with Cook & Company, of Seattle, agents for mis sieamsnip line in tnese two cities, and it is due to Mr. Elmore almost entirely that the cargo for the Nebraskan has been found. The Nebraskan should arrive here this morning, if everything goes well about 7 o'clock, and will remain in the city all day. Her gross tonnage is 1 4408 while her net tonnage is 2824. She was built in Camden, N. J., in 1902, and her home port is New York City.

Marvel declares Gray will be satisfied with nothing less than the head of the ticket. It is well known that Bryan would be pleased to have Gray for his running mate and the only thing that prevents the latter from becom ing the leading candidate for the posi tion is the simple, but all power fart that he will not declare himself a candidate at all. Gray's boom was formally launched today and the headquarters opened in the Savoy Hotel.

PARIS, June 30.-M. Bleriot yes terday succeeded in flying 600 meters with his monoplane machine, winning the Aero Club medal. be a big fight in resolutions commit tee and possibly on the floor of con vention over anti-junction plank. Word has come from Lincoln that Bryan is in favor of plank of a somewhat radical nature , and it is certain that such men as Sullivan of Illinois and Taggart of Indiana are strongly opposed to it. It is well known that there is no love lost be tween Bryan and Sullivan and other influential members of the Illinois delegation and reports are circulated that if the anti-injunction is adopted it is more than radical than the Illi noise people will break away from the Bryan instructions when it comes to balloting for the president. Forces opposed to the radical la bor plank were strengthened by the arrival of Charles G. Heifner of Washington State. Heifner says the Pacific Coast is opposed to the adop- 1 tion of the plank proposed at the thicago- convention by Samuel Gom-pers.
