The Daily Market Report 'JHE WEATHER Oregon, Washington and Idaho Occasional rain. , THE BIK STICK SWINGS, The big stick with the famous brand, T. R" on the nub of it swings effectively in Oregon, as in Califor nia, and the fatuous agitators for Jap anese restriction and suppression (which, at this particular juncture, is an impediment to the negotiations be' tween the two governments), are brought to a realizing sense of the stupidity of the movement in Ore gon. Even Governor Chamberlain sides with the President in his effort to keep this matter in its proper sphere of diplomacy, and sharply de precates the agitation in the Legisla turer. It begins to took as if this uproar is inspired by the "interests" to hamper, annoy and discredit the Chief Executive upon the eve of bis retirement; and, coupled with the organized onslaught just made in the federal Senate by Foraker, Kittredge, et. als., for a lock-system on the Panama Canal, at a time when the adoption of such a radical change in construction would practically annul and ruin the enterprise, lends color to the suspicion of deliberate and dan gerous interference. By the 4th of March the Congress and Legislatures of this country will know that the man who is wielding this stick is one to be respected and that in acceding to his demands they are but meeting the composite will of the people, for never, since the days of the immortal Lincoln, have the , people been represented as they are now (excluding the politicians, of course) ; and after that date, they will be up against it some more, even though the hand that swings the cor rective buldgeon be less direct and a bit more diplomatic; it will swing and fall, all the same, and its infleunce wil of the same, for the god of the land, and the advantage of its servants. No -man will ever dare insult the President-elect by claiming that he is the tutored representative of his pre decessor; it is enough that they are of the same school and temperament and that both have been profoundly and accurately trained in the great task of sounding and handling of men; and it is perfectly reasonable to look for a tacit replica of the Rooseveltian pro grams at the hand of his friend and compatriot tive than usual; and if this can be done and a few notable events arrang ed for, with distinguished boats and boatmen from abroad, this, of itself, should draw heavily on the huge crowds of Easterners flocking to the northwest coast this summer. This is what our motor boatmen have gone together for, as we understand it; and with this group at work in this direc tion, others ought to follow in lines that will be equally alluring. We must do something to advertise the city to this aggregation; we cannot afford to be overlooked; there may be many men of means in this invading army of pleasure seekers to whom Astoria will appeal as a point of in vestment, and we should be in posi tion to make the most of any defined interest that arises. We will need the utmost that can be developed from this source after the stagnation of the present season; and the sooner we go at it, and the more intelligently and promptly we dispose the program, the better it will be for the city and for her visi tors. Think if out; confer upon it; decide, and then advertise it widely, and we will accomplish much to brighten the new season and make it compensating not alone to ourselves but to those who shall come our way- WING SHOTS. Now the Chinese Six Companies are to the front with a grievance; they are evidently jealous of the at tention of the country is giving the Japanese. Isn t it about time the Indian was rising to a question of privilege of some sort and making an old-time tomahawk play? The Brownsville matter is still open; and there is, nothing to prevent the few East Indians now here from butting in and making a grandstand show for recognition, booze and grub. rORTLAXD, Feb, 10. -Apples have come in rather freely this week with the result that stocks on the street are materially larger than month ago and the market a shade easier. There are still considerable quantities of apples in jhe country and these for the most part will be marketed during this month and March, but dealers say the supply left in first hands is not such as to cause any weakening of the market. Eggs sold at 35 to 371c on Ore gon ranch. Yesterday receipts were large. WHOLESALE PRICES.

Washington knows nothing of it; and as long as Uncle Sam is without as surance of the disaster, the people will not worry overmuch. " ASTORIA'S NEAR FUTURE. The long-drawn winter of tempest, detached blizzards and relentless rains bear promise of an open and pleasant summer of more than ordi nary period, and it behooves Astoria to prepare for this near season and provide something of standard inter est and attraction for the thousands that will wend their way coastward for rest and amusement. The suggestion of Ex-Mayor Wise that we put up an interesting front for the entertainment of the itinerant The Clatsop County Court offers a reward of $25 for the apprehension oi ine iouiesi murderer that ever darkened her history. The Court evidently takes about as much inter est in this henious case as some of the leading officials of the county do. The case is one in which $500 would not have been wasted by way of re ward. Astoria s Annex to the Alaska- Yukon Expo' meets with general en uuiscuicm ncre; ana 11 11 only takes ar Seattle with the thousands that will be there this summer, we can well afford to go ahead with it and maintain it. But don't forget to make the Regatta the chief feature of the summer of 1909. , Foraker has so thoroughly knifed his own personal influence in the detachments from the Alaska-Yukon i American senate as to make his at "owu al oeaine, is iun or tack on the Panama Canal a false merit, and by taking time and work- and futile move, in the eyes of the ing out some cheerful details, there 'country, is no reason why we should not cap- ' ture a very compensating patronage, j Oklahama has developed another The Motor Boating Club just or- batch of corporate timber thieves ganized will, undoubtedly, take some This is really inspiring; if she keeps big and palpable steps toward making on she win get 0n 'to the levels of the 1909 Regattajnuchmordistinc-; ordi,,arv statehood and become a or. ! mal 'sister." z .DIAMOND ! jAND J The Emperors of Great Britain and Germany are holding a peace-fest preparatory to the opening of na tional hostilities at an early date.
