Thara ia'.ahanlutalT-no doubt of the fact that the Interests of Astoria and Portland are Identical, both having products that could be marketed to the best advantage in Alaska. Astoria can " aell to Alaska- groceries, fruit, vege tables, dairy products, poultry and brick, while Portland can llkewlae aell to Alaska all of these products aa well as othera.- . ' . .. It baa been stated On one authority that lue grocery business of Alaska alone amounted to $20,000,000 a year. As either Portland or Astoria are as near If not a' little nearer , to Alaskan ports than any Puget Sound port; It ahould follow that freight rates ar as cneap rrom eitner one 01 m uregon r.ltlaa aa frnm Pus's t.

And In this connection it might be mentioned that while It is 4.Z03 miles from Port Townsend to Yokohama and 4,781 miles from San Francisco to Toko- nama, from the mouth or tne iwiumoia rver .It is nearer than from either, of these Torts. s Adraatage of Colombia, aUrer, While ttieae figures have no bearing upon Alaskan trade, perhaps, yet they do show the advantageous position of the Oregon ports and from the common ground on which Astoria and Portland can do some effective promotion work. 80 far as the promotion of a steam ship line between the mouth of the Columbia river and Alaska is concerned it is a very small matter, and five or six frst-class mercantile firms the like- of which may be found in either Astoria or Portland, could establish a line without any trouble, without any financial outlay whatever, not even so much as a penny. Here is the plan by which auch a line could be established: It la & matter of comment that there are many empty charters an the Pacific coast at the present time' Now if five . or six first-class firms should get to gether and eend salesmen to Alaska, cargoes could be secured in advance of chartering vessels to carry them from the Columbia river. Furthermore, there are a number of ?roducts In Alaska . which could be rought to either Astoria or Portland with great commercltl . advantage. Among these might be mentioned coal, and there are many passengers between the states and Alaska who would prefer coming to Oregon instead of Puget Bound, where there are many idle peo ple. And all of these passengers, most of whom are miners, would ouy their firospective mining and camping utensils n either Astoria or Portland If they had an opportunity of doing .so and then going directly to Alaska to use them. Oannerymen Interested. Another advantage that the steamship lines would have from the Columbia river to Astoria, is, that as most of the salmon canning In the - United States Is done either in the Columbia river or Alaska, the canning companies thus Which .Will England Choose?

It Is Japan's proudest boast that she has for her worn ally the mightiest naval power in the world, and that between them they eare command the two greatest oeeans.-indeed.manr Japanese statesmen-base their assertions that there will, be no war In the near future on the fact that the united States. would not dare to champion an Issue which would mean a atruggle with England- and Japan, and point to the fact, that the recent treaty between England and Japan blnda them to. make common cause the one with J: the other when either; la Involved in war with smother nation. It will be re called that prior to the close of the Russo-Japanese war the treaty, agreed that the contractors should each be bound to support the other in case of war with two or, more, foreign nations. The treaty made since then blnda the one to light for the other If oven only one nation la opposed. . But would Great Britain stand Vy her 1 nations are identical In the matter at treaty in case war should be brought about between the .United States and' Japan T To answer this question there are many conditions ana circumstances which tend to point to one conclusion. To begin with. It is a fact known of all men who read current history to good purpose mat japan naa lost ground in the English heart. England realises that if she la to keen her place aa the miatreaa of the seas, and her primacy in the commercial world, she must hold on to every bit of international trade she bow his, and lose none of the op portunities that the future has In atore ror her.- , 1 But Japan, sworn ally that she is. Is Just now waging a commercial war against British lntereata that Is pro voking many an outcry from British traders. She Is going Into India, into China, into Korea everywhere that British trade opportunities are to be round, ana is mere converting war ai lias into commercial enemies. That the result Is a diminution of England's re sDect for her side nartner In the east Is as plain as day. Already the mutter- mgs or aisconienc are neara ana evi dences are multiplying that Japan's un fair commercial policies are beginning to react against ner. a cromineni Brit ish author states that English public opinion ia fast turning against the Japa nese. 110 aays: Xmglaad'g Alliance. "England and Japan axe in alliance. But it would be foolish to ignore the fact that the imperial and commercial policy of Japan must inevitably, if maintained, strain this alliance to the breaking point within a single genera tion. The wholesale emigration of J a Da nese coolies will Inevitably create prob lems involving a choice for England be tween a cordial friendship with our colonies and a partnership with Japan: we will have to decide in China between offending our ally and maintaining our nltles unimpaired; and In Korea we are having a mutual interest would prefer "2ut"L, own narticular territorV he to ,.? the Columbia river steamers tol ..IPL?.$r!Sl irl" .l- - -: , . . ... 1 nnu mil. 11 1 rut Lttu inui. irum ilia iivrwi 1 the steamers mat piy oeiween Beams and Alaskan ports. .

ASTORIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. J. w. wnyte, Manager. CANDIDATES KEEP 0 Republican Central Com mittee Makes Vain Ap peal for Funds. "Wanted Money for campaign ex penses. Apply In person or address W. M. Cake or Major J. P. Kennedy, chairmen, respectively of the Republi can state and county central commit tees." That is about the way it stands. In the coffers of the Republican coun ty central eommltte there is now some 1400 and all of this and more must be expended to pay back bills Incurred during the primary campaign of H. M. Cake, or the late lamented municipal campaign. Accordingly the managers of the Cake campaign are preparing to get money and the must have it soon. Saturday night a meeting of the pre cinct committeemen from the Tenth ward was held in the Republican head quarters In the- Marquam .building. The feathering was -for the purpose of fram nsr up the program for the next meet ing of the central committee, to be held tomorrow. At the meeting there were about 25 members of the committee from . the Tenth ward. The gathering was pre sided over by Major Kennedy and was Instructed by W. M. Cake, chairman of the state central committee and man ager of the H. M. Cake campaign. Money Badly Weeded. It was carefully explained by- Mr. Cake and Major Kennedy that the great nf iha nreaent moment was money. The speakers said that the candidates for of f ice had, with one or two excep tions, refused to come through with their assessments and that as a re sult the eupboard was about bare. There were, in fact, onlv 400 bones avail able. A number of the delegates eaid they had noticed that the funds were low and that it waa impossible for them to do much politics without ex pense money. . , , M It was announced by Mr. Cake and Major Kennedy that the first of 'the week a couple of .prominent members of the organisation Would start out in an effort to raise funds for the cam paign. Thesd men were to make the rounds of tne laitniui ana . see wuai could be done towards raising a lump of campaign axle-grease that would keep the wheels moving until the end of the campaign. ; candidates will Attend. ' Aa- Important, or- more so, however, 'Is the expected advent of the candi dates themselves who have been Invited to attend the meeting of the central committee tomorrow, ways and means are to be discussed ' at the Tuesday night meeting,- It , was explained, but the committeemen present were warned , not to make any cracks about finances to the candidates personally. It woufd be all very well Tor the committeemen treaty rights and commercial opportu nities unimpaired: and In Korea we are already facing the alternative of pro test, or the limitation of a great future market. "For years England and America were obsessed by the vision of a great Rus sia, all powerful and all knowing, mov ing forward into the far east almost with the resistlessness of fate. Men marked what was thought' to be her campaign of silent, exclusive and ap- and the growth of Russia was witnessed with dread, for It was the belief that where Russian power - spread the pres tige and commerce of other nations de clined. Today the shadow of the Rus sian uoiiossus oestriuing tne woria rrom the German ocean to the gates of India, overlord of Persia, supreme in the coun cils of Peking, master of Korea, owner of Manchuria, has passed. "Now we know the weakness of the Russian irlant. But that which men Pyesterday believed Russia to be Japan now is. proclaiming witn au possioie publicity her adherence to the doctrine of the open door, she has adopted a policy of national preference and exclusive-privilege; nominally standing for tha Intearltv of China, she Is maturing plans that can have no purpose if they do not Involve the passing of largo parts of Chinese territory into Japanese hands; Korea she lias alreay occupied as her own particular territory. She dnea not threaten India from the north by the advance of armies, but her teach ers are stirring up unrest among the people of India, and holding up visions of a united east. And her official agents have for two years been at work on a great trade campaign there aimed directly at Lancashire's most profitable market." Great Britain Impartial. Th.ift considerations in themselves are pretty strong arguments why Great Britain would not take the side of Japan In an American-Japanese war. But they are not half ao strong as the fact that the only thing which could bring about a war between the United ' States and Japan is the very question In which England has even a greater interest than Amercia. Wher ever England has a colony she finds Japan longing to send some of her sur plus population there. Wherever the Union Jack is supreme the Japanese would Hke to' become residents. As, he gains more power, as he recuperates from the devastations of war, that race nrlila an A aalf asaartlveness which is characteristic of the Japanese will. If It sees the opportunty, Insist on the right to go anywhere at any time. And that means Intense opposition in the English colonies. It therefore is but a diplomato necessity mai ungiana should uphold America in her determin ation to restrict Japanese Immigration. Aside from the great power of kindred blood In uniting natons In case of war. the interests or the two Angio-saxon stake.':.,.- :- ' ' . J But more than thla. England knows too well the might and. power of the United States. Canada IW a permanent nostage ror peace between tne two coun tries. Our armies could strike the great trunk line) railroads and stop her food supply from there. Our own food sup ply could be cut off from her, and f iivatiers could prevent the wealth of ndla from reaching her shores. It is true she would have the larger navy. But how much more would she have at stake. Though the sun never seta on her possessions, neither does it set on the opportunites to strike her. We have enough. If all cornea to all, to sup port a war for years and - years. We could live 100 years without buying a dollar's worth of stuff from abroad.

" i duuuiu v'viue, fL n mi?, .nut nearly so much aa England. If Eng land and Japan could take the Phlln pines from us. we .could certainly take a willing Canada from them, and there are the British "West Indies at our door. ... The Monroe Doctrine. ' Beyond this is to be remembered the fact that every republic on the West ern Hemisphere has had Its existence guaranteed by the) Monroe Doctrine, the upholding of which is essential to their future aecurity and the Integrity of the Western Hemisphere. They would be expected to contribute to the upholding of the power that has been their great est assurance against roreign aggrea slon. Add to this the moral, if not the fhyslcal, support of one or more of hose European powers which are Jeal ous of England s sway of the seaa, and ?ou have a combination which even he British lion would not care to tackle. Another item which would add to the situation would be the unrest of. India It will be recalled that once be fore England's war In India was one of the things which brought about vic tory for Uncle Sam. Today revolt Is In the air in this same India. Let Eng land become engaged in an exhausting war with the United States, and India will certainly make the mot of the op portunity to throw off the British yoke, cutting herself off from the supplies and markets of the Western Hemis phere, and affording India her long ooked for chance to revolt would bo so disastrous to England that it might easily prove her undoing as a leading nation. From whatever standpoint one takes it England's Interests are against war with the United States. Such a war would be most disastrous to British welfare and no one realties this more than the venerable John Bull. The world may be sure that Japan will not enter into a war with the United States, or give this country occasion to enter Into a war with it. without first con sulting Great Britain. And It is not hard to conclude what England's an swer would be. Her whole future might depend upon that reply. When the time comes for the choice to be made Eng land's answer will undoubtedly be an emphatic, stralghtout declaration against war with the United States. The Japanese statesmen who depend upon any other response will be grievously disappointed. Her Vaval Supremacy. England begins to see the day when She cannot maintain her present naval supremacy. For years it has been her policy to keep the British navy just a notch higher than the combined strenrth of any other two navies in the world. Recently the war minister stated that he doubted If the United Kingdom could much longer maintain this policy, owing to the fact that Ger- mp y and tne unitea mates naa em barked upon such large naval programs. He said to keep the English navy up to such a point would cause a financial strain greater than England could bear. It was the necessity for economy In naval defense that caused England to enter into Its alliance with Japan, but the saving accomplished In this way has been more than offset by the trade rivalry of the Japanese. The one great fact In the situation Is that Japan, being an island kingdom like England, aspires to grow into Just such a trading and shipping nation as Great Britain. Whatever headway it makes with this ambition will be more at the expense of the English than any other people. Therefore it is evident that Japan cannot succeed in becoming the master of Asia and at the same time be used to bolster up British su premacy in the same sphere. So long aa England continues to foster Japan's ambition she Is merely grooming a dan- ferous rival for her own position In he far east. to discuss the campaign and its needs, but the work of making the oandidatea come tHrough was to be left to the of ficials of the organisation. . Tha argument was advanced that nothing could be done with the candi dates unless some kind of a machine organization was perieciea. i - was pointed out -mat tne- eanarcates usea to come into camp with their assess ments when the old-time methods were in vogue, while at the present time tney told the central committee to go out and hunt for money. It is preaicteo mat mere win oo quite a tropical session of the central committee on Tuesday night The can didates, almost without exception, are disgruntled at the way things have been minr. contending that the Cake cam paign has absorbed all of the time, money' and energy of the central com mttees, leaving the fcther candidates on the ticket to shift for themselves. For that reason these candidates are not going to put up their money unless it in extracted in some manner which has not yet been schemed out by the man agers or tne central commmee cam paign. Many candidates have openly reiUSea to uonaie, emu lb is Bjprcivu that thev will make their refusal em phatic if thev are called upon another time at the Tuesday nlgnt meeting.
