An orgiairalzaLlixn known as the United Press, furnisjies a few ne-WBfXip'ers, chiefly In the East, a so-called news service. The United Press papers have done much txctiUng about the superior haraiODer of Ithe news gathered and eerat out toy their associa'tlon. Wdth wpeolal fervor they hU.ve brurged of "the great foreign news service." The fUot Is Itihe 'beet fardlpn news published In he U. P. papors has been regularly stolen from ithe Assoctxted Press re ponts. This is not un Idle Charge. By means of a "decoy" cablegram the -U. P. was recently convicted of ithlevery. Not only Us ifchialt alleged ne-wsgiathering latency etlll ateaJ'lng dlsjjiaitofies from Ithe Astwilialted PlrcBs, but the evidence lis conclusive 'that It mbnufaclturee "news." Uaat Fridlay morning It sent out the Btiollement thoit the secretary of sLUile hd received a. cable message than "chaos reiigns et Fekln; the American letraDion Is In danger and needs protec tion." M. Qresiham ait once pro' nounced the story a pure invention. He tuid that nuthLng of tlie kind Wad come to him, "Uy cable, mall or other-wise. Of oourse, having 'the gall to produce and olroulte Ithe fake, the TJ. P. had the nerve to stick to .the fla.lsehood. Slight' ly 'modified, the yarn has been kept going, with some ad liUonal end sensa. tloraal details. As far as we have ob served, not a U. P. paper Is honest enough to etwlte ithalt Mr. Oresham has ibiUndwd the report as a (aibnlclatlon. but the pi'-blia cannot be longer deceived lag to the ohlaraoter of the U. P. This New York fake factory has become a laugOilng-slcoek: COMMUNICATED. Editor AsLorian: I notice In the Astorian of December 14th the statement that many Ehstern . p;vple are sending for copies of the Dalily, and lit occurred to me .that from that we mis'ht see a very practical way In which the City of Asf-onla and the certainty of iher rapid growth in tlit near future rotay be broug'hlt to the at tention of those in the East who might be induced to unite their fortunes with this section of Jhe counltry. And that is Just what, we need now We ought to advertise our city until every man, woman and child in the United Staltes would talk of Astoria as they did of Tacomx a few years ago. Yet we do not want to follow in the fcotM-eiis of Taicoma. A "boomed" town is usually filled for a short time with ItransiwU citizens of every character from a capitalist down to ithe street mendicant, who, as soon as the excite' merit has subsided, will leave for fresh, er fields, having b?en of little perma. nent good to the community. We do not want Atl'oria to be a "boomed" town in the usual sense of the term, for there Is nothing of a permanent na Iture gaJIned by booming, but we do want the advantages and unlimited re sources of this port of the Northwest to become so generally known and Rp predated that there will flock Ito our city Bind the surrounding country a class of people who have a desire to make homes In our midst, who will set up permianent business establish ments, and Who will conMbuite their induJiry as well as their money to help in developing the country. And In order that we may accomplish this, our efforts should be not to cause a rush of unemployed who have failed Ito make a living In cUier states, but to encourage the Immigration of. those who, by their own industry, have ac quired sufficient property to enable them to own their own homes, farms, or places of business. Such men would be a banefit Ito the community, and we must endta.vor 'to lead tham to sell their farms or business establishments In the Bast, tuid invest their captoal In Clatsop property. This can be accomplished by per- oonaJl work. Probably every resident of Astoria has 'aequo! nltances living In other states, Who are desirous of re moving to another part of the country for better advantages of finance, health, or enjoyment; and by the influ ence of friends already here, hundreds or 'thousands could be easily persuaded Ito remove to Northwestern Oregon. Infjrmaltlon received from the pani' phlets sent out Is always received with many gi'ains of allowance, but If the Informaltion comes from old acquaint ances It will be relied upon. For each parson to write letters to their many friends giving anything like a complete dtiatement of the advantages, resources, cllmdle, and Immediate prospects of As toria, wouSd be almost Impossible, but It seems to me that the greater part of thait could be done through the press. For Instance, if Ithe Astorian would Is sue a special New Years' number of suilaible site, and containing such ln for.na'Mon as would be desired by East em Inquirers, it could be sent through jout the United States and Canada to r cull ithe aDtemtlon of the desired clnss of people to this land of opportunity. Every", citizen who feel an Interest In the welfci're of 'tine community could easily afford to buy twenty or more twpka of the paper, mark such por tions as would be of special Interest to 'the parson to wham the paper would toe sent and -write a latter to accom pany each paper, giving assurances of the correctness of tttve representations. TwarJ;y thousand copies of the Astorian Karat to 20,000 homes In the East could not but have the desired effect and we could all feel thalt eaioh had per formed his or her part of the work of building up our olty though many ot us could not contribute to the famous subsidy. "Perhaps some of (the "Lords of Cre ation" will think thlait Investing nickels In newspapers ia pretty small buness when "booming" a city, but we come to know more and more the power and influence of the pres3, and especially a represniaUve paper that has the confidence of its readers.
