The most eastern point of the United States is Quoddy Head, Maine; the ma-t northern point is Point Barrow, Alaska; the most western is Attou Island, and the most southern Koy AVest.

The Rirerri loti rroffer Service, 'How not to do it," seems to bo the rule at present as regards bar and river pilotage. Since the alleged new "law" which was bulldozed through the last legislature, is supposed to have gone into effect, the Bervico on bar and river has become demoralized and tho only bearable feature of tho situation is the fortunate fact that the incoming vessels are bo few that disas ter may by good luck bo averted. In speaking of matters like this The Astorias always chooses its words, and the above statement is not reck less nor unjust It is a plain, unprejudiced refer ence to an existing fact Anyone not blinded by prejudice or the self interest induced by pecuniary means, will admit that the present ridiculous administration of bar and river service on the Columbia river is a farce that is only permissible by the broadest interpretation of risk or the widest latitude to a dangerous power conferred by a "law" that is believed to be not worth the paper it is written on. The Astobian has no fight to make for the pilots, nor has it any feeling against tne u. u. & JN. Uo. Amid clashing of interests it looks solely to the public goed: the com merce of the Columbia river, and if it publishes unwelcome facte, those who aro responsible for these facts cannot complain if exact statement is mado regarding the present condition of things. .Nothing is ever settled till it is set tled right, and whether the pilots shall prevail, or the O. R. & N. Co. be hand ed the key of the Columbia, this mat ter will not stay quiet: it must be agi tated. The legislature was fooled by the Oregonian last winter into passing the law, and its members who believed what they were told wero caught by plausible arguments about the "pro ducer." Tho fact that the O. R. &. N. Co. desires to retain tho inland tolls es caped their astute observation. It was cleverly done, but it can't last. Tho legislature can't deliver the goods. Falsehood, sarcasm, ridicule, invec tive and misstatement in and out of newspaper columns in Portland can not rub out the fact that there is no adequate bar and river towage service: that competition is throttled, that the state is made the thrall of a corpora tion, that the commonwealth of AVash ingtou is denied jurisdiction in a mat ter wherein equity suggests at least an equal voice, and that tho plainest dic tates of safety and commercial re quirements are partially ignored. Recognizing the situation tho Co lumbia river pilots have sent the state board of pilot commissioners the fol fel fol eowing: To the Hon. Hoard of Pilot Com missioners. Gentlemen': AVe the undersigned. pilots holding licenses for the Colum bia and Willamette rivers, beg most resptctfully to state to your honorable body, that we bind ourselves to pilot all vessels coming and going between Astoria and Portland free of all charge until. Judge M. Deady renders a de cision in the suit now pending be tween the ship liorrowdalc and T. F Neill: providing there are no more licenses granted on the nme ..i!er-. to other persons. The above is signed b the riwr pilots, men )ha have, some of them been twenty years in the business, but who aro "not needed," at present, nor likely to be in the future, except when Caesar cries: "Help me Cassius, or I sink." Tho British ship liorrowdalc was formally libeled last Monday by pilot Neill, who returned yesterday morn ing. This constitutes a test case. Messrs. Deady and Nicholas are re tained by the pilots. If the constitutionality of the law is upheld, as so nominated in the bond, the circular of the O. K. &N. Co., con tains the law and tho gospel and its mandate must bo complied with. The question, boiled down, is simp ly this Do the O. R. & N. Co, or the people own the Columbia river? That's all there's to it. Argument and rogation and surrogation and re joinder and counter rejoinder piled a mile high doesn't make any difference in the cold naked fact. Tho question is just as stated above. It is a matter of no interest cither one way or tho other to The Asto bian, except that this paper has worked with whatever energy aud in fluence it possesses for many years for the common good, for the develop ment of tho Columbia river commerce and the advancement) of this count ry and it dislikes to see tho clock of pro gress stopped and n general about face aud backward march. Such policy never builds up com monwealths and sometimes proves fatal to corporations tliat cannot see beyond the narrow horizon of present gam xne Dounuiess possniuuics ui future profit. Apart from private gain, aside irom possible dividends, above and beyond all personal feeling and individual opinion, stands the question of ab stract right, of general welfare, or common good. With no bias either way, with no ax to grind, nor personal desire to see other than rieht prevail. The Astoriax hopes to see this question settled iu a way that will mure to tne direct anu hasting benefit of the commerce of the Columbia river. It is a Question of deen concern to those who realize the magnitude of tho real interests involved. Ludlow's Ladies' &I.00 Fine Slmas; also Flexible Hand turned French Kids, at i J. GOODMAN'S.
