ASTORIA. OREGON:
SATUKDAY.
riUL 14. 18i8
The Emperor "William during his
lite-time saw disappear from the scene
six popes, eight emperors, fifty-two
kings, six sultans and twenty-one
presidents. Four ot thepe are still
alive, but the remaining eighty-nine
are dead.
A trust is a conspiracy to "comer"'
the neccessaries of life and to increase
the cost to consumers. No trusts are
formed in high-price champagnes, in
diamonds or in silk worth 83 a yard.
The trusts are created to take advant
age of the poor.
Oxe of the most astonishing delu
sions that are recorded in the world's
history is that which really prevails
to some extent in this country to the
effect that over S100,000,000 of super
fluous taxation may be raised and the
people not feel the burden of it
Nothing could possibly be more irra
tional, unless it be the companion as
sumption that taxation is a benefit to
a nation.
On the outside page is a thoughtful
letter on the great value of the tim
ber region to tne southeast, that is
commended to the attention of our
readers, as illustrative of what prom
ise the future holds in store. How
near that future may be made depends
largely upon Astoria. Astoria has
shown its ability to raise a $150,000
subsidy. God aids thoso who aid
themselves. In the meantime, the
way to do a thing is to do it
PERSONAL MENTION.

Miss Nellie Carnahan is teaching
school at Yaquina.
ILCEoper, of The Dalles, is in
the city, visiting his brother-in-law,

Rev. A. Leltoy returned yesterday
morning, with his wife and family,
whom he had gono to Portland to
meet They were carried around by
way of Tacoma, and thus given the
inconvenience of a tedious prolonga

N.Y.
Col. S. W. Blasdell, an old time Ne
vadan, and of late years prominent in
the business and politics of this state,
was in the Republican state conven
tion this week, from Baker county.
CoL Blasdell is enthusiastic about
Baker county and eastern Oregon.
He and his associates have proved
their faith by investing 8300,000 in
mines in that vicinity and are devel
oping that section. CoL Blasdell will
be remembered by many Astorians,
he having successfully negotiated the
placing of the electric light system by
ex-Mayor Trullinger in this city. He
is a shrewd business man and an act
ive man in party councils, being al
ways in the front rank. It is not im
probable that he will be heard from
politically in the near future.
