CZ3 fa a storfan. ASTORIA. OREGON: SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 4, 1S87 ADVERTISING OURSELVES ABROAD. One of tlie best means ot advertis ing a city is to send the papers published in it abroad. Upon this subject the Tacoma Ledger thus dis dis eourses: "It is doubtful if occa sional publications in the eastern prints have the virtue ascribed to them. The readers of the great dailies are multifarious, and the journals are gotten up to cater .to all manner of individual tastes and in terest The financier reads mainly the monetary news; the youth the base ball departments; the sport finds his level in the sporting col umns; the maiden and matron are entertained with society gossip or the latest fashions; the merchant, the mechanic, the professional man, all look for and find that which most directly interests him.. An adver tisement of the whereabouts, re sources and prospects of a city published in a foreign newspaper does not bring in those returns which the circulation abroad of a local newspaper does, and for the reason that to the intendant emigrant from a neighborhood there is noth ing that is read with so much avidity as a journal published in a country to which his eyes are longingly cast Every advertisement is read, every local hint conveyed is scanned and treasured and in turn the jiaper is sent to relatives and friends, until it is thumbed beyond all recogni tion. A large proportion of the new comers to Tacoma have been brought to the Sound through local newspaper influence. The Ledger mentioned a case the other day where a firm of large manufacturers stated they were induced to leave Chicago and settle here through the Ledger alone, which they have read more regularly than their own Chicago papers. And in passing we may state they have not been sorry for the change, as they have been overwhelmed with business since their location, it will pay any community in the territory to pur chase large editions of home papers, as is done in California, for distribu tion in the libraries, hotels and rail road depots of the east The result of such a policy, as has been demon strated over and over again, would re sult in the bringing of a population to this favored land that nothing else could, and prosperity would bless every one for the insignificant out lay." . t; m The statement relative to the $150, UlXJ railroad subsidy comes witn a directness and degree of positive as surance that makes it worth notic ing. If the simple raising of a sub sidy of 3150,000 is all that stands m tne way or a railroad coming here, the money can be raised in a week. Terminal grounds, sites and locations for depot, round house, machine shops, etc., can readily be secured, and nothing need stand in the way of the work twenty-four i hours provided, that people believe in the ability and willingness of the projectors to do what it is said can- be done. We have had so many schemes and plans submitted for As toria's approval and Astoria's "subsi dizing that Astorians are a little chary in taking hold of this matter. But that Astoria is willing to do its share and what should reasonably be ex pected of it in this regard The Asto hian believes. Ik response" to a greeting of the New York Press club, Henry "Watter son recently said: "I .-would rather be an editor than hold any office in the gift of the people. I had that question to settle, and did settle it finally. It cost me no pang to settle it on the side of my profession. I do not mean to exalt the profession of journalism above all others, but I do pretend to. say that, aside from the good old rule that a shoemaker should stick to his last, a journalist is no where so much out of place as when directing the mechanism of a political movement No man can mingle poli tics and journalism, and remain an honest man. He muBt, as a politician, sacrifice the truth, or as a journalist care nothing for the truth. There is only one thing the journalist should strive after, and that is to tell the truth in advance of any one else." Several months ago a decision was reached in London between the American minister and the foreign office to refer the questions of dis pute growing out of the Canadian fisheries to a commission. This has been approved by the state depart ment. It is on account of this con cession upon the part of the English government that president Cleveland has not exercised the authority given him by congress to close our ports to Canadian fisheries. Joseph Chamber lain has accepted the presidency of the English commission. East Indian wheat is not high- grade wheat, but it makes wholesome dark bread. It is true that it costs 10 cents per bushel to clean the In dian wheat preparatory to running it between millstones. . The Indian farmers do not as yet understand the necessity of handling their harvested grain with care. The grain, as it leaves their hands is dirty and sandy, and mixed with the seeds of weeds and other grain. But it is cheaply grown. The cost of transportation over the railroads of India is greater than over the Americanines, but when the wheat which is destined for the London market arrives at the In dian shipping ports it meets the cheapest transportation in the world that afforded by the British tramp steamer. Not the least among the benefits of the "boom" to California, will be the result of breaking up the big grants and making them into small farms for settlers and homes and churches and schools and modern civilization. Even now one can ride all day at a good rate of speed behind two horses in southern California and camp at night on the same tract, hundreds of thousands of acres held by one owner, untaxed, except at a nominal figure.and useless to anyone. It is such im mense tracts that under increased values and the stimulation of land seeking, will be cut up and made at tractive by permanent residents. The boom is rapidly extending northward. The completion of the railroad to California will throw 100, 000 immigrants and visitors into Ore gon next spring, over and abov,o what would naturally drift from the east Astoria is interested in this, and will be up and dressed and be in at the first table. Afteb four years' retirement from the financial world, Henry Yillard again appears on the scene. His presence presages lively movements in railway matters, and occasions no little interest in this part of the country. The natural conformation of the country, the necessities of commerce, and the profits of such an enterprise emphasize the propriety of building a dry dock at Astoria. Two railroad companies organized in Astoria in less than a week, and a third talked of I Three Favorites Have the following to say of Wis dom's Bobertine, the great beaut ifler and preserver of the complexien: Pobtland, Or., Jnne 4, 1837.

Dement & Co. druggists, Astoria, Oregon Mail advices dated Liverpool, August 13th, report the salmon mar ket as follews: "We have still to re port an active market, and so far there is .no sign of the advanced prices having Btopped sales, the re sults showing quite the contrary; many dealers state that their travel ers assert that the present values will seriously affect consumption, and therefore decry the situation, but when, two years ago, prices advanced from 17s to 21s per case, and last year advanced to 25s, we heard the same views expressed, and yet we find ratocka are much- less than at the cor responding period for some years past, and were it not that the demand at lower rates would far exceed the supplythere would be no necessity for higher prices, but the same are advanced in order to try and lessen the demand in ratio to the much les sened supply that we are likely to re ceive.
