THE SIZE OF CITY LOTS.
To mt ?Q8tor in the cast the large

the Pacilc slope gives the impression
ifoat the town is not oulj a village
but intend to be a village )erma
nontly; when iTery structure can
have its garden about it. and where
space will lmve Iwit little vnlne. The
indifibroitoe io amounts and acres of
land imjtiied by it is a confession of
the oiUsous Uicmaelves that their town
has l&ie pr misc of being a comjiactly
ImiH city. But apart from this feature,
there art- xl common Reuse reasons

This ;ii;uin is often asked: and

the resident, of Seattle, bnt we think
it is wnt within one oeutury that this

Tur-.r is & marked difference l)e
twifp iln harbors of the Atlantic
coii-t ; Mil those of the Pacific. In the
Scat idvt; they are much more 5"re
inont as tin-re are more large rivers
omiiyiMg into the sea and ihe indenta
tions m the coast are numerous. Few
of fihom an what wonul be called
Iwrrod harbors. If there are bars
they do not shift muck and the wa
ter is always very deep even over
there. Thero is a reason for this con
dition, or freedom from serious ob
structions. Tlie mountains in the
cast ane not near the sea board. Near
ly nil of the rivers that cmjity directly
into the ocean flow through long ar'.ias
of comparatively level country and do
not take the sand and debris along with
them that the. wouhi, were they moun
tain streams. Then the country has
Ixsan so long settled aad cleared thai
the amount of bnrjdus material in the
form of drift wood and otner refuse
matter is very small. Considering
then how little ha leen done to im
prove on nature in our western har
bors, while millions have lieen spent
in the cast with not so many obstacles
as hare, certainly every effort should
be made to gain and ue appropria
tions well for aiding navahion

The influence f a lioard of trade or
chamber or commerce is alwavs great,
if properly sustained. Astoria is for
tunate in liMvinr a IkkIv of men
classed under tlielaiier name, who have
the best interests of the citv at heart.
At the last meeting of this eitv's cham
ber, a communication was read from
the newly formed loard of trade alapape Ihe fall of the limb scattered
laqnina liny, a gentleman who lias
iust come from that enterprising nlaee.
was seen vestenlsy by a reporter. He
slid that the lioard of trade had in
fascd new life into the town and
was advertising it extensively.
They have cnl letters to congress
which have been favorably received,
while before it has been almost impos
sible to gain any recognition. Harbor
lights are soon to be located as a re
sult of iheir agitation, and a strong
effort is being mode to dredge the bay
so that vessels of deeper draught can
cotne there. Ynquiua bay. he said, is
iioh interested in Astoria's progress
d the improvements at the month of
the Colnmbia. There is a chance for
a large coastwise Irade for Astoria,
when slie lecomes a large shipping
and wholesale centre, with lhee grow
wg towns on bays np and down the
shore to call upon her for their sup
plies. Then, too. when the const rail
