In the coming contest of the North cm Pacific and the Union Pacific ads in the Pacific Northwest, it looks if it Avonld be a battle to the uesfe. if denth be possible to cither party. The personal feelings and am bitions aroused in the conflict between Tillard and Elijah Smith, will make both parties keenly alive to all there is in. the railroad situation and to all the advantages to be fonnd in it In the persons conducting this con test there is a vride difference of characteristics, and it must be con fessed the advantage here lies with the Union Pacific Yillard o" the Norther Pacific was a newspaper man, thoroughly competent to pre sent the value and future of his en-terpri.-e in a bright light, to show it up at its bast, beeping in the back ground unfavorable features; probably with his sanguine temperament, not seeing thorn himself. Such a man is a powerful agent in the constructing of a road, but there his usefulness cads. His abundant powers of rhetoric are invaluable toward such an object, He is strong in having hi3 ultimate financial baw to far away as Germany, wiionco frequent and close dissections of each case cannot be made. His facility iu borrowing is the weakest point In his value as an officer in con duct or an enterprise after completion. It tends to leteen the pressure towardb present economics and the search af ter device and improvement for sav ing. Ills right hnud man. Oakes, who furaisbas what there is of genuine railroading in the Northern Pacific snaungomsni, has been successful in the past bsoauec of his being politic, avoidiap hostilities, securing friends in ovary possible direction. For hib porsonnl advantage, these give him strength; but they arc not of much value in increasing the profits and securing the stability of an enterprise. Such iucrcasc in value as has come to the Northern Pacific properly has been due to the general development and increase in values of the north west rather than to keen and saga cious railroad management of the Northern Pacific. It is of a nature to invite quickly the incoming of com petitors who feel that 4h. can put in as effective. II not more effec tive braiu work aud secure a large percentage of the spoils. Hcuce the presunl may be considered nearly the maximum of advantageous showing of the N. P. In contrast with the N. P. managers, we find Elijah Smith keenly analytical, handling efficiently both the nmiuluc and the broad fe.i iros of goucral management, closely acquainting himself with the details . of his enterprise, inventive fnr beyond his corapslkors in devi-iug methods of teouring an advantage, and a man who nvor "gels tired." Tillard has dealt his own company an ugly blow 2n stirring the antagonism of a man who will novcr rest until his aim is accomplished. Meantime the whole of western Ore gon and much or the western Sound country is feeling aud will feel for a 1 lime the benefits of the struggle Every advantageous opening and op portunity will be grasped by the rail roads with an alacrity that would not othorwisc be shown. Chiefly Port Tbwnsend aud westward in Washing ton an 1 in Astoria and southward in Oregon, will this bjaeu3ial result be noticed, as here will be the battle field of the nest few years. Much of the Columbia basin cast of the Cascades will al-o be benefited. The Union Paoific has one great ad vantage in the fact that with it, in its desire to see the mouth ofthe Colum bia thoroughly opened, it has all of Oregon enthusiastically favoring this opening and much of Washington alo. It will be well to note and carefully analyze the opposition in congress, to the opening up of the greatest river entrance or the United Stales. That the Northern P.icific will strenuously fight this opening, there can bo no question. The methods employed by the Northern Pacific iu bitch matters in the past, are not unknown in Ore gon. This oppositon to the Columbia improvement, and the project of get ting a state control of arid lands, are the two important matters before con gress in which the Northern Pacific is largely interested.

A CAUSTIC CODIMU2iICATIOX Astobia, Or., Jan. 9th, 1890. EDrron Astoria.: The truth of the adage, 'Fools ruih in where angels fear to tread," was nevermore fully illustrated than in he past few days by the manner in which some al cged newspapers in this city have been meddling with the af fairs of the Astoria and South Coast railroad and the electric motor line. I? the effect of the "scare heads" and fulsome extravaganzas of these irre sponsible penny-a-liners was not felt beyond the city they would be un worthy of notice as their unreliability is so well known here a9 to render them harmless, but there are places through the northwest where these foolish screeds have a bad effect There are interested parties in Portland and elsewhere who eagerly sieze on every item derogatory.to the prosperity of this city and do all in their power to circulate these bad reports. A few days ago the directors of the street railroad held a meeting to consider the proposition to build a motor line. No definite action was taken on the matter, but that didn't make any dif ference with the morning "Pry-in-hfrc:" it came out with a scare head stating that the motor line would not be built; the result was several strang ers who were in the city for the pur pose of inventing, concluded they would wait awhile and embarked on the next boat for Port Townseud, Fairhaven or some other booming city where snide newspapers do not tear down what citizens are spending their inouey to build up. At present there is a slight hitch in proceedings on the railroad, the trouble is only of a temporary nature and will soon be remedied, and there is no possible necessity for advertising to the world that there is any "trouble in Iho camp." but news is scarce and the evening ''Sud den Jerk" is working the railroad trouble for all it is worth. It inter views itself and devotes a double leaded scare head to telling what it doesn't know about the matter, and also gives the opinions of several other well known citizens, only one of which is or any benefit to the public, that one is as follews: "I have perfect confidence in the business ability and integrity of the directors and I think it is none of the public's business. They should have the matter in their own hands and let them conduct it to suit themselves." According to ancient mythology when Satan and ZMephistopheles had their celebrated tilt Satan gave Meph sitophcles a hunk of brimstone and told him to go off somewhere and start a little hades of his own. If some of these imported scribblers would follow the example of Mephis lopheles the city would be greatly benefitted as the citizens who are in terested in the welfare of the city have enough to con cud with in the natural run ot events without having any fabrications to explain to parties fam iliar with the situation. Eea Estate. u5efui. ixfoemaxiox. Tilbury Tos, M. D., the eminent medical writer, ia his work " Skin Diseases," thus ac counts for tbo pimples so common to the face and neck. Eatins too rich or too greasy food, or too hcurty eating -while tho ex cretory organs arc sluggish, causes In most people Indigestion or a dyspepslal condition, which causes the blood to raovo lugglshly, and enfeebles tho pores. The result Is, that the exuding secretions block iu tho pores, which iaQaine, each distinct inflammation being a pimple. Dr. Tox therefore docs not prescribe " blood purifiers" so called, but " dyspepsia cure" to lw taken, to uso his own irords "till the dyspeptial symptoms have dlsapp:arcd." Tho old idea vas, that fact eruptions were caused by a " humor in thi blood," for which they treated the blood, giving the mineral, potash.
