SIXTY PER CENT VALUES.
The State of Washington is fully
alive to the necessity of compelling
her railways to bear an honest share
of the taxes of the State; the 60 per
cent valuation adopted by her tax
commission on the presentation
made by the railroad commission, is
an equitable estimate and the people
will appreciate the fact that the great
enterprises they have done so much
for and are constantly doing for, are
at last making some tangible and de-1 hereabout, and is interesting, in its
cent return for the marvelous gen- waVi as a new route to fame,
erosity that made the initial launching! Astoria, by any other name, would

and none of them ever yet acknowl
edged that what was done for it, by
, communal impulse, -' individual con
cession, or legal adjustment, was
enough; they are eternally crying and
contending for more, more, more; and
the people have given to them with a
magnfiicent unselfishness that has
never been transcended in any line of
business in the world. It is time the
pendulum was swinging the , other
way.
While the State of Washington will
collect something like eleven mil
lions from its railway taxes for the
year 1908, Oregon will gather in less
than one million. The difference is
too asounting to contemplate with
equanimity or business toleration.
The people are demanding something
more exactly and proportionately
just; and they are going to have it,
if ever they get from under the spell
of railway domination. When they
do throw off the bridle wherewith
they have been led and coddled for
the past quarter century, the Astoria
and Columbia River road will be pay
ing from $60,000 to $100,000 annually
to the County of Clatsop, instead of a
beggarly $15,000; and a road that
nets its owners from $175,000 to $225,
000 per annum can afford the access.
HOME BUSINESS COURSE.
The proposition recently submitted
by City Superintendent A. L. Clark
of the Astoria school district, for the
establishment of a business-course as
part if the common school curriculum
here, is one that invites the best
thought of the board of directors,
with a view to its adoption. The cost
of such an annex is, inconsiderable at
best, and in view of the good that
may be wrought by its application,
will far exceed any ordinary outlay
that ma be made.
It appeals to the home-spirit, and
makes the public school of Astoria
that much more an active and corn
pen., ting business principle, in the
general uiility of. the school, and in
creases its value to the pupil to whom
the advantage falls, since he or she
will not have to leave home to get it.
nor pay for it.
The business course is part and
parcel of the preliminary equipment
of the modern child, and if it can be
woven in the public benefice already
enjoyed, without undue cost and
trouble, then it should be granted, and
maintained to the best possible limit.
NOMENCLATURE.
The idea of changing the name of
Astoria, recently offered by the capa
ble escretary of the Chamber of Com
merce, Mr. Whyte, indicated a spirit
of humor not credited to that gentle
man, as among his many and admir
able equalities. He is known to be
an advertiser without peer in the
land, and rich in expedients for her
alding the name and wants and at-
' tractions and enterprise and general
allurements of Astoria to the reading
world, but this device was never even
suspected of him. It is the first de
parture into the realm of nomenchi-
'ture vet madeTy him, or anyone else
tiepartrue would be incalculable, and
the susoicion that we had adopted
this measure to escape an unhappy
fame would be insupportable; and the
new name "Greater New York"
would, we are afraid, but add to the
incongruous and unwarranted predic
ament. Whatever befalls us, and we hope
it may all be bright and happy and
prosperous and deserved, must come
to us under the old, traditional and
familiar name; and while it is coming
it is up to us all tto make the name of
Astoria better, solider, cleaner, more
alluring; recognizable for the good
things of commerce, and society and
industry, free for honorable mention
in the mouth of all men everywhere

A DESCRIPTIVE INTERVIEW
Mr. Frohman sat on the edge of
his chair and yet sat firmly. Even
when he leaned forward in the eager
earnestness of his talk, his shoulders
were still squared and his feet secure
ly planted. In this position and in
his manner of holding it were three
of his salient traits alertness, preci
sion, and tensity of will. The alert
ness shone clearest in his eyes. They
were neither piercing nor searching,
but they were steady and clear and
bright. A fresh idea, a recollection
recalled, an agreeable anticipation, a
disappointment, of which the humor
but not the bitterness remained each
in turn animated them. They were
eyes that were always seeing some
thing plays, players, conditions,
plans and hopes, as the talk followed
some new road or turned for a mom
ent into some by-path, and seeing
them, as living things. Some eyes
see the hearts of thincs and others '
see the hearts ot things, ana outers
see an imngs as n vague visions.
Mr. Frohman's see everything alive.
The precision was plainest in his
words. Almost every sentence was
short. In almost every one the idea
and the expression were closely knit.
If he paused for a moment it was to
make both compact and full. Usually
both came tersely to his lips. His
talk, perhaps from much reading, re
hearsing and testing of plays, was
sometimes curiously like the best of
stage dialogue, entirely unconstrain
ed, unmistakably clear, precise with
out formality, and driving home on
the instant its particular point of
emphasis. The .earnestness and the
precision were both in the tones and
only rarely did they need the aid of
the extended arm and finger as of a
man acustomed to impress his idea
upon others who were not ' always
(juite alert to them. The., unique
characteristic of the talk was its com '
pactness. In an hour Mr. Frohman
had said as much as some will say in
three. The tensity of will in the
whole man in the strong, eager,
smooth shaven face, in the head set
ilcrtly and firmly on the square
shoulders, in the compact and unas
sertive vigor of the sturdy body. The
Cloud on the Shamrock's Victory
REASONS ARE NOT STATED
American Shamrock Won Llpton Cup
in Brooklyn Club's Recent , Race,
But Formal Objection la Entered by
S. Wainwright,' Owner of Mimosa 3
NEW YORK," July .-Pending the
decis'on of the regatta committee of
the Brooklyn Yacht Club, regarding
protest which wus filed yesterday
against Frederick Thompson'
schooner Shamrock, the apparent win
ner of the Litton cup for the ocean
race to Cape May and back, the
trophy will remain in the custody of
the club. There have been rumors of
protest ever since the Shamrock fin
ished well in the lead, but it was not
until late yesterday- that the formal
protest in writing was handed to
Chairman Edon . B. Schock of the
committee. The committee refused
to divulge the name of the protestor
or its nature, but it was learned that
the conipLint has been t. made by
Sluyvcsant Wainwright, owner of the
Mimosa HI, which finished second,
two hour, 16 and 49 second behind
the Shamrock, according to the al
lowances based upon .the measure
ments now in hand, shamrock t
latinr has been the subject of con
siderate comment or the past week
and the protest is lodged on the basis
of erroneous measurement. '. ,
'Before the protest was filed Mr.
Tho-ipson cabled the newa of his
victory to Sir Thomas Lipton as fol
lows: "Sir Thomas Lipton, 19 City Road,
London. .
"f have the only Shamrock that
can win, but Barr sailed her. Do your
congratulations go with the cup?
"Frederick Thompson."
This reply was received:
"Frederick Thompson:
"Heartiest congradulation on vic
tory of your Shamrock. Regard this
as an encouraging omen for" my next
challenger, particularly as my present
Shamrock is shaping well and point
ing to success.
"Lipton."
whole impression was of keen and
controlled vitality. A man could
hardly seem more eagerly alive, and
yet he had directed all that life into
a single channel and held it there.
He had no need to say he loved his
work. He did not, indeed, say so.
The olve spoke spontaneously in al
most every sentence and every glance.
His work docs not merely suffice for
his physical, mental and nervous en
ergy. He loves, it so kindly that it
Warms his. memories, kindles his im
agination, and even gives him visions.
Work is pleasure when there is pas
sion in it, and the passion of Mr.
Frohman is' the "producing" of plays.
Such passion gilds the business of a '
theatre and keeps alive its art. I

"IN DE NATCH AL WAY"
A rich Northerner, walking about
in a Southern negro settlement, came
upon a house around which several
children were playing. Seeing that
the family was destitute, he called the
oldest negro boy and gave him a dol
lar, telling him to spend it for a
Christmas turkey. As soon as the
generous man, had gone, the nef?ro
