Faid herbe, 51 days from Nagasaki, cross ed in yesterday, after a stormy and tryng voyage across the Pacific Cap tain Bergault says he rarely exper ienced such a succession of gales, but his good ship rode them out success full and he is glad to be inside again, just for the sake of the rest. A pleas ant incident of the arrival of the Faidherbe is that her first officer, M. Rose, is a brother of Captain Rose, of the French bark Michelet, now in this port and just about to sail for Europe with her great cargo of grain, and the two brothers who have sailed across and around each other on a dozen seas without meeting, fore gathered here for the afternoon yes terday and enjoyed every moment of the happy meeting. A wireless message was received and recorded at the United Wireless Company's station on Smith's Point in this city yesterday afternoon, from the U.

It says: "Germany will not depart from its position of reserve while awaiting the decision of the Turkish cabinet, with which the question of peace or war momentarily lies. It is possible that despite its peaceful disposition, Tur key may be obliged' to draw the sword with the virtually simultaneous issue of the proclamations of Bul garia's independence and Austria's annexation of occupied provinces This did not result from conspiracy J Washington and Idaho, as well as on the part of the two countries.

AN AFFIRMATIVE SUGGESTION IN THIS BEHALF BY AN INTERESTED CITIZEN. The following communication from Alfred Davis, of this city, reached this office yesterday afternoon, and is published for the sake of the intelligent presentation of a very interesting question, rather than because the Morning Astorian agrees with Mr. Davis' conclusions. It is a subject "that wilt "take time rather than argument to settle, and this paper is willing to abide the issue of time and its compelling de velopments, however much they may be disparaged by alleged existing conditions. The paper submitted reads as follows: "Will Jim Hill do anything more for Astoria than making the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad a feeder for his lines? The facts as found by close observer of the railroad movements in the Columbia River region for a number of years would indicate that Mr. Hilt will do noth ing for Astoria. We will now go back to the time when Mr. Hammond first made his appearance In Astoria, and with the aid of his local repre sentatives, secured the entire water front of the city without money or price, being a nice birthday present, Not only that, he secured the water frontage along up the Columbia as far as Coble, thus preventing a com peting line from building down the lower Columbia along the Oregon shore. Mr. Hammond then got busy between Astoria and Seaside by making extensive purchases in the vicinity of Flavel and Hammond, no doubt with the intention of blocking any effort that might be made by any other road to enter Astoria from the south. Having accomplished this work he then turns over the A. & C. road to the Northern Pacific, which ! completed will he not proceed at is owned by the Hill system.""."!"' once to double-track between Kala "Having secured all he desired on j nia and Kelso, where the Columbia the Oregon side of the river, the River and Gray's Harbor, the pro great railroad magnate, Mr. J. J. 'posed line down the north bank con Hill, then began using his energies ' nects with the main line of the on the north shore of the Columbia, Northern Pacific? Why not double to Kalama we can look forward to its extension to Gray's Bay at no distant day. Having control of the , from Kelso down the north bank is railroad situation on both sides of completed that the short strip be the river, it lies within his power tojtwcen Kelso and Kalama, a distance choose either for his seaboard tcrmi- of 10 miles, will be double tracked, nus, where he will erect elevators and making a double tracked road from where a great city will be built. Will Astoria be this point? This is a question whose solution is anxiously awaited by the citizens of Astoria. The writer would prophesy that Gray's Bay will be the location for this future city, viz: "First, because there is an abund ance of room and where land can be secured at- a more reasonable figure. In fact, quite a number of large sales have already been made to the Hill interests. Again, because the natural resources on the Washington side of the river between' Kalama and the seaboard are greater than the Oregon shore between Goble and the sea board. By observing the topography of these territories above mentioned we will find but two or three steam ers of any consequence emptying in to the Columbia along the Oregon shore, while on the Washington shore we find the Kalama and Cowlitz rivers, Coal Creek, Abernathy Creek, Elchman and Skamokawa Creeks, Jim Crow and Crooked Creeks, Deep River nd Gray's River, and two or three others farther down, which we will not mention. "Again, let us follow the survey made from Gray's Bay , to South Bend and, as along the streams above mentioned, we pass through a coun try not only heavily timbered but fertile ; land especially adapted for farming, dairying and fruit raising.' With the construction of a line down the north shore of the Columbina the natural resources of the country would mean a heavy local traffic, and the erection of large sawmills would make the city on the north shore a great shipping point for lumber. The the construction of the line would complete the net-work of the . Hill lines in the State of Washington, viz: The Great Northern and Northern Pacific bringing the wheat and other oroducts of the soil from Eastern which' territories, lines have already been surveyed, running "up Deep Riv: cr from Gray's Bay, thence through a "Green Tomatoes" For Chow Chow "Concord Grapes" For Jelly and Grape Juices-Shipments Arriving Daily Acme Grocer y Co.

"Now then, when the resources of the territory through which the A. & C. passes and that through which the proposed line from Kelso to Gray's Bay would pass, in addition to its numerous leccers already in opera tion, is it not clearly evident to any intelligent person that the north shore line would be chosen as the seaboard terminus of Mr. Hill's great system? "Let us ask why Mr. Hill has had a large crew of men at work straightening and double-tracking theably fcportcj ,)0n by exptrt of ,he road between Kalama and Vancou ver?

Gifford Pinchot talks on the tion Of Monopolies. Ques- WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-Discus-sing the , charge made by the forest service for permits for developing wa ter power in national forests and the probable action of the trans-Mississippi congress at San Francisco in the matter of conserving water pow er, Gifford Pinchot, the United States Forester, in a recent letter said he fa vored legislation to authorize the Is suance of permits irrevocable except for breach of conditions, for a fixed term sufficiently long to insure se curity of investment. "Grants of valuable franchises and property rights" said Dr. Pinchot, "such as were made gratis to the rail roads when the natural resources of the country were thought to be in exhaustible, cannot now be seriously considered in connection with the de velopment of water power on the lands and forests. The great impor tance of water power to the country is coming to be more thoroughly real ized and water power monopoly, in stead of being looked upon as an ab surd vagary, has taken a firm place in the thought and consideration of the people."
