Mitchell'sG will stay with him, and Prim's adherents exhibit an intention to steadily support their candidate. Astoria's Growth. About the first thing1 a man who has been here before says when he comes into Tiij:Astokiax office, is: "How fast this place is growing!' It is being built up most rapidly, and this season lias seen more stores, halls, and pri vate residences constructed than any other in the history of the place. On every street, new structures ate being pushed to 'completion, and old ones being renovated till they look "almaist as weel's the new," and, of course, as the law of supply and demand is invariable, the fact of all this building indicates increased business. Yet there are two or three things that tend to keep back the progress of the place to a great degree. Ve will not here any more than allude to the lack of roads, but speak of this onerous insurance tax. A merchant doing business here can illy afford to carry a large stock and pay sack ruinous rates of insurance as to prevent- competition. Had there ever been any great conflagration here, whereby the companies had sustained an' loss, it might be dif ferent, but an extensive acquaint ance with Pacific Coast 1owns jus tifies us in the assertion that at rates far less than the present, this would be as it is now the best paying place for insurance west of the Rock' mountains. Where is the city where the losses have been less, or the rates propoition ally higher? "What wonder men hesitate to increase their trade by carrying a stock that would otler wise justify them, when they must pay eight and ten per cent, insur ance in a town that is relatively as well, if not belter piotected against fiie than any other town on the coast V The fite records of the insurance companies show no loss; it is all gain. Our lire de partment, well equipped and thoroughly organized, composed of the brain and bone and sinew of the place; unlimited water sup ply; protected from heavy squalls; with steam pumps and hose in continuous line along the water front; and for seven months in the 3ear an "atmosphere" that of itself has sufficient body to it to deter any ordinary fire from showing itself out of doois. It is an imposition, and a direct injur' to our common prosperity to be obliged to pay such a tax. Of course we are well aware that ar gument may be made in reference to the 'rules" of insurance com panies, to the carefully compiled statistics, and the experience upon which they base their calculation, but that does not suffice. "Were Astoria built -in a breezy canon, where sun and wind dried the houses, till, as in Nevada and Cali fornia they stood like so many tinder boxes ready to light, it would be a good argument, but there is no analogy in this case. It ma' be asked "what are you going to do about it?" "We con fess our inability at present to answer it. The matter cannot be overcome at once. Building brick buildings whenever new buildings of any importance are projected will assist; unanimity of thought and action will also serve a good purpose. As it is at piesent we send enough money out of Astoria every year for insurance premiums to justify a radical change in the ' business.
