IEditei: Astekian:
J have just received a. letter
from Hon. Thomas II. Brents,
lelegate to congress from AVash
angton territory, in which he in
forms me that he has secured an
appropriation for the survey of a
canal for light draft vessels from
iBakers bay to Grays harbor, and
also ior an examination and survcy
o Grays harbor and the Chehalis
,..,. .... ..
Thinking tins information
e of interest to readers of

would be
Tijk AsToniAX, especially in Pa-;
cific and Chehalis counties, I send
you a few extracts from the letter
.for publication. Yours truly,

JIox. C. A. Rkkd:
Dear Sin: Your esteemed favor
of the 25th inst., is received.
I have secured an appropri
ation for a survey for a canal for
light draft vessels from Bakers
bay to Grays harbor. 1
have also secured the examination
or survey of Grays harbor and the
surve' of the Chehalis river. As
the survey of that river had been
made several years ago I could not
otherwise secure an appropriation
to improve the same.
Yours very truly,

"Home airain
and glad to get!
liomc. We are
rejoiced with i
fhe sight once more of the blue
Jiills and tranquil waterscopes sur
rounding Astoria, while the moun
tains are inviting, .somehow sug
gesting the lines of our
fri'nd
Miles O'Riely to his cat, yet not
at all appropriate, because it is not
the "Oregon style," and there are
signs on every hand indicating to
its that this may be aptly describ
ed as the dawning of a year of
commercial convalescence, show
ing the most . cheerful re
turns of confidence and ac
tivity in all channels of trade
the many new buildings in pro
cess of construction here, the heavy
.freights of both steamers and sail
ing vessels for Astoria prove that
we are' soon to have 10,000, or
15,000, perhaps 30,000 to 50,000
permanent citizens at this modern
Athens, and the query will be:
"Where do the people come from?
They are coming, all the same, by
every mode of conveyance. We
are happy in the fact that Astoria
is our home, and we have no
desire to again leave our sanc
tum for a 3fcar at least far-
ther than to visit the hospitable
homes of men like Fanner Gray,
and angle "an occasional day for
the speckled beauties inhabiting
xne iviasKam, loungs river, or
Lewis and Clarke. So here goes
for plain business, on the squarest
basis that can be dealt out in As
toria. Friends and patrons give
us your $gT.
XTUine'oest "poster" is time which
is s-nt regularly into the fainilv cir. I a
-Newspaper advertising is :u
recognized by business men having fuith in
their own ware?, as the mot uflcctive
means for ccuring for their wares a wido
recognition of their merits.
5r"An advertisement, said one of
the cross ones, "has an effect like that of
taking horses to the water you may do
so, but you cannot make thera drink."
No; but you certainly cannot do so if
jou do not take them to water. It is
doitr; something to do that.
.2fWe are always ready to publish
death notices, if the friends of the de
ceased will send in the particulars, such
as name date of death, age, etc This
is, we think, as little as they can do. and
as much as can be expected of us. Long
obituary notices must be paid for.
rLooc at it as you will, advertis
ing carries with it a certain moral in
fluence. Most people cannot resist the
impression that a man who advertises a
large slock- of fresh goods, is more likely
to have them than one who does not do
0. Advertising has at least one good
chance in its favor.
.Why are advertisers able to sell
at the lowest prices? Is it not because
ihey obtain the Jargest custom, by the
anost reasonable expenditure, and are
Teally able to buy lower than their neich
"bors. Many people imagine that the ef
.Ject of advertising is only to enable a
merchant; to sclL The re-active effect
m bis power to buy well is often lost
