Oregon Showers tonight or Tues day north, fair south portion, cooler except near coast MILWAUKEE-SPOKANE-ASTORIA. It is very difficult, at times, to be as patient as we need to be, in a civic sense, because of our inability to fathom the ends and purposes of those to whom we look for the things that shall lift us to the plane of com mercial progress and importance. Astoria is not alone in this attitude of baffled hope and retarded enter prise; hundreds of other communities bear the same measure of disappoint ment and apparent defeat, and yet the crisis comes to every place that has distinct and plausible claim upon the play of commerce and business de velopment, and sooner, or later, the day of release and success dawns, and always unexpectedly. From the moment it became a pub lie fact that Astoria & Columbia Riv er Railroad had passed into the hands of the Hill interests, a new sense of opportunity and promise has possessed every thinking man in th community; and that we have not realized anything of. pronounced and staple value to date, does not elimi nate the ultimate and exact sum of local benefit that is to accrue to us when the hidden objective of that purchase is attained and manifested We. are 'jne victims ot our own arent and fallible guesses half the time, and we grow censorious of the blundering we do along these lines. We cannot do Mr. Hill's planning, so we indulge our own license in for mulating noi ons of what he ought to do. and resent his failure to follow our bent. Impatience of these home- wrought disappointments is unseemly. For what we can fathom from the superficial viewpoint, the Hill people are centering all their energies to closing the gap betwen Pasco and Spokane, on the "North Bank" road. This is the cardinal thing with them just now; all other points and mat ters are held in subservience. Once this is accomplished James J. Hill, president and owner of the Great Northern is master of an independ ent line, direct from Milwaukee to Astoria and the sea. It is said this gap will be closed by the first of the year, or by March not. Then perhaps we shall begin to realize that we are not quite out of the running; that the brain that has devised this independent system of overland transportation has other potent plans for the terminals of such a line; that he has done other think in gtaht we know of and that As toria has figured larger than even we hoped: that he has hedged against defe.it and change ahd mischance and made himself secure and invulnerable in the ever-shifting manipulation of railway control and direction. We have rational ground for rational hope yet, and it may be well to exer cise our patience for all it is worth, for another year or more, since the great game of transportations is not played in the open and frequently holds a sumberged card that once led puts a new and wonderful face on things in general and our own inter ests in particular. the White House in order to get his colleagues in line and cinch their ac ceptance of the various portfolios?. One is appalled at the thought of con ditions that will exist at the famous old home in such a case; of the con gestion that will ensue; of the inter minable questions of right and pre cedence, official and social; of the bickering and dickering of the women folk, the rows and rumpuses of the kids; the confusion and over-lapping of business and society; the inextri cable uproar among the servants, and the utter demolition of the quiet and perfect methods that have been built up there for the past hundred years or more. If ever Mr. Bryan reaches the White House he will find a line of adamantine traditions in force there that even his abnormally democratic soul will have to subscribe to. He cannot run a national board ing house at Washington and the presidency at the same time. i Big Irincpliipr Bale 'mmmmmmmmmmmmm 11 " 1 null iinniinniiiiiiiiiii.i.e ( , ... - ' FIVE HUNDRED VOICES. The Astoria Kegatta for 1908 will be the best ever. Not only are the marine sports to be amplified by some of the leading events and people engaged in making world's records in their particular lines, but many new and novel attrac tions, afloat and ashore, are to be introduced, and the whole program expanded to a point never before known in regatta history. The superb success of the Scandi navian Sangerfest of last year is to be repeated and exceeded. All of the societies constituting this splendid in stitution have entered the lists and their five hundred voices will be heard in some of the most magnificent work they have yet done in this country; all the best of the soloists and instrumentalists of the Northwest are being negotiated for, and Dr. Emil Enna has been chosen to lead the whole affair. With such assur ances of success at hand, every As torian should work hard and late and unceasingly for the Regatta, and make it, once for all, the prime scheme of entertainment and public interest of the year. The Astoria Regatta is becoming an acknowledged fixture among the an nual events of the North Pacific country, and this year's contribution to its history will fasten it perma ently and ineffaceably in the pleasant hronicles, where it be!ongs.

Brer' Bryan and Brer' Kern have already divided the the White House. Brer' Kern, lie couldn't afford to run for the vice-presidency and was dubious of supporting the honor if it did happen to fall to him on the score of his income, so Brer' Bryan placates him, and promises to whack up the national home in the pleasant event they are elected; all of which strikes us as being a bit premature and far-fetched.

The entire community, re gardlcss of race or nationality has heartily united to extend a cordial welcome to officers and men and pro vide them with entertainment. All other interests are viewed as subsid- ary to this great occasion and the entire week has been givn up to clab orate preparation for the arrival of the armada. By universal consent July 16, the day on which the fleet is scheduled to arrive will be made a complete holi day and all business will be suspended Thousands of persons from all parts of the territory will assemble on Diamond Head and along the other heights and points of vantage south east of Honolulu to witness the spectacle of the approaching men of war. The fleet will proceed past the leper settlement on the island of Molokai to sec the ships as they steam slowly by. Soon after Molikai has been dropped astern, the warships should come in sight of the crowds on Dia mond Head, providing the weather is clear, and from then on for the last twenty miles of its long journey from the homeland, the whole fleet will be visible to the cheering multitudes lin-1 ng the heights. From early morning on the day of the coming of the big ships, the crowds will be scrambling up the bluffs straining their eyes across the blue water to the southeast to catch the first glimpse of the smoke cloud that tells of the approach of the fleet still hull down over the horizon. With the appearance of the fleet itself Honolulu will loose its enthusiasm in a magnificent bombardment and day light fireworks which has been spec ially prepared by the Japanese resi dents at great expense. Daylight fireworks will also play a large part in the Jcstivitics when the fleet departs and from the time of its coming to the day it leaves for Australia, Honolulu will be decorated with bunting and lights as never be fore in its history. Throughout the entire stay of the fleet the business portion of the city will be blazing with electric lights every night on a scale never before attempted here. The entertainment committee has scheduled numberless excursions to all places of interest and the men of the fleet will be overwhelmed with op portunities to see the island during their stay. There will be trips to Pearl Harbor and to the sugar planta tions and pine apple regions of Mua iniand Pali and to all other points of scenic and other interest. FINANCIAL J. Q. A. BOWLBY, President.
