LUMBER INTERESTS.
President James J. Hill of the Great
Northern Railway announces through
rates for lumber from Duluth and
West Superior to New York, Boston
and other eastern markets. These
rates are to supplement the through
rate of eight dollars per ton, which he
had previously established from Seattle
to Lake Superior The important
modifications enable the Washington
saw mill J to develop business In east
ern markets from which they were
previously debarred by high freight
rates.
This state of things should arouse
the attention of lumbermen In and
around Astoria. Owing to the lock of
railroad facilities they are placed at
a serious disadvantage In cultivating
'-MtM'"6
trade with the eastern markets. The
Union Pacific and the Northern Pa
clflo may meet the cut that Is, they
may reduce their rates, but if they do
the reduction will go Into effect at
Portland, which Is far from the lumber
region, and not take effect at Astoria,
which Is in the vicinity of forests that
would yield many million feet of the
flneet lumber on the planet. If our peo-
pie strive to compete with the Sound
saw mills they are handicapped by the
additional expense of sending the lum-
Wer by water, from here to Kalama or
Portland, where It arrives saddled with
hondllng enrages which are not In-
curred at Seattle or Tacoma, where the
lumber Is loaded from the saw mill
to the railroad car.
Steps should be taken by the Cham-
ter of Commerce and Board of trade
to bring this glaring inequality under
thi mti u- tt i ,u .,
the attention of the Union Pacific rail-
road, which Is the most closely con-
cerned. That great corporation which
is now strong and prosperous, should
undertake to put Astoria on as good
footing In these respects, as the country
serve by the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific, It can do so most
effectually by building the proposed
railroad from here to Portland.
Cavatgnac, who was so prominent In
the course of tho Panama Investiga
tion, comes by light of descent by his
antl-monarchlcal sentiments. Ills grand
father sat in the famousor Infamous
convention a hundred years ago, and
his father was a member of the Con
stitutional Assembly of 1848. The pres
ent Cavolgnao himself, a generation
ago, refused a prlae which was justly
his because It was to he given him by
the Prince Imperial,
The comparative over-crowding of
some Canadian towns, or rather, the
necessity for having the rural districts
more thickly settled, hits caused the
government In Ontario to consider the
question of providing a system of nor
mal training whereby the children In
the public schools may be taught
things that will make farm life mitre
valuable and Interesting to them. A
system of education thoroughly adapt
ed to the environment of the country

To raeot imperativo demands, I will

The new Invention for use in yacht'
bul Jitin tho "ToMn bronze," will In
all probability play an Important part
In yacht-building In years to come,
The new metal Is a remarkable com
blnatlon of lightness, strength and ten
sl,e power.and has consequently been
found to be of great value in boat
building. It Is especially adapted to
the plating the underbodtes 'bf
yachts, and Is of wonderful value for
centre-boards. The Inventor was anx'
lous to prevent the English boat-build'
ers from obtalng any of the new met
al for use on the yachts which will In
this year's racing defend the Victoria
Cup and compete for the emblem so
highly honored on this side, but the
secret leaked out, and although the
EngllBh yachts will not benefit from
the discovery this year, It Is an almost
absolute certainty that In the future
the use of the metal will become uni
versal In this branch of the boat-
builders' craft
Clatsop county's contribution toward
the support of the state last year was,
In round numbers, about forty thousand
dollars, while other counties with sev
eral times the wealth of this contrib
uted less than three-quarters of that
sum. These are facts which the county
assessor and the county board of equal
lzatlon will do well to ponder over.
In this city there are about forty
Chinese merchants; In Portland there
may be 200. We mean actual mer

It. is rank nonsense to suppose that

thereabouts. Probably Collector Lotan
may be able to explain.
It Is to be a fight to a finish this
time in Portland. Both democrats and
republicans have nominated straight
tickets and will fight It out on that
nne. The cmzena movement has col
lapsed, or In other words, It has gone
wnero th6 woodbne twlneth.
What is the chamber of commerce
doing? Are there no questions of pub
Ho interest on which It has a word to
say? Good, lively discussions are pref-
erable. to this profitless silence. These
remarks apply to the board of trade as
well.
