PATRIOTISM TO" THE FRONT. Orion's Opportunity to Head Off the Seattle Fresh Water Har bor at Hand. That the new road is now an assured fact Is admitted toy offl Interested par ties, provided the ris'li of way for the last 25 miles of road east of Westiiwrt Is arranged for. There can be no doubt thalt Che patriotic citizens In this sec tion will come to -the front, as have those along the other portions of the route. All petty prejudices and person al feellng3 should, and no douttt will be, laid aside in tiie one great effort to advance the genenal Inlterests ot Oregon and the CWumWa river valley In particular. The fact must not be lost sight of, however, that Mr. A. 13. Hammond has come here with all his arrangements completed for the build ing and equipping of the line of rail road If Ms conditions of con tract are complied iwtth. 'First &rd foremost among these conditions Is tJhe one that the rlgtot of .way must te furnished him clear of tM Inoumlbrances. The business men of Astoria have well and faithfully done-thblr part of the work and more; they havo gilven large sub sidies of land to the road, 'have given money for preliminary expenses and are giving .their untiring JaiSors for the furtherance of the plans and the suc cessful completion of the enterprise, which means as much or more to the residents along the river and the river towns, as It does to Astoria dtself, and more to the state at targe than to any particular locality. There Is every as surance from Mr. Hammond and from the various commititees otat aill local questions of convemmce and harmon ization of interests will receive proper attention and seifctl jment. - When 4t is remembered tlhat this means an outlet for all our products, grain, fruit, fish, lumber, timber, coal, and minerals to the markets of the world, at the lowest cost of transpor tation; the establishment of the mouth of tlhe Columbia as the port of export for the products of the entire North west; he madnltewance of ft fresh wa ter hairbor for itJhe sihllrtfidng of ths wonld as against 'the new enterprises on the Sound and the proposed fresh wa ter deep sea harbor alt Seattle, whlah will surely take our business away from us If we do not now meet the situation and stem the crisis at hand, no means Should te spared to com plete the work so well Ibegun. Another opportunity may never too presented to estaibilsh the prestige of the Colum bia river and the maintenance of out natural advantages. Now is the ac cepted time; let all minor things drop for the time being tihey will take care of themselves. Below is the full list of the donors of right of way outallde of tlhe limits of Astoria. These gentlemen are the pioneers of the new enterprise, and have tJhelr hearts and Judgment in the right (place. Pa'trtntlsm and liberality always bring tlieir own reward.
