MOTHERS, Do You Know that Paregoric,
Bateman's Drops, Godfrey Cordial, many so-called Soothing Syrups, and
most remedies for children are composed of opium or morphine?
lo Von Know that opium and morphine are stupefying narcotic poisons?
o Vow Know that in most countries druggists are not permitted to sell narcotics
Without labeling them poisons ?
Io Yon Know that you should not permit any medicine to be given your child
unless you or your physician know of what it is composed ?
Io Yon Know that Castoria is a purely vegetable preparation, and that a list of
Its Ingredients is published with every bottle ?
no Von Know that Castoria is the prescription of the famous Dr. Samuel Pitcher.
That it has been in use for nearly thirty yearsand that more Castoria is now sold than
of all other remedies for children combined?
Io Yon Know that the Patent Office Department of the United States, and of
. other countries, have Issued exclusive right to Dr. Pitcher and his assigns to use the word
" Castoria " and its formula, and that to imitate them is a state prison offense?
Bo Yon Know that one of the reasons for granting this government protection
was because Castoria had been proven to be absolutely harmless ?
Io Yon Know that 35 average doses of Castoria are furnished for 33
cents, or one ceut a dose ?
no Von Know that when possessed of this perfect preparation, your children may
be kept well, and that yoa may have unbroken rest ?
Well, these things are worth knowing. They are fads.

AN IDEAL SEAPORT
Review of Facts Concerning As
toria, the Future Harbor.
RADIAL RAIL AND WATER LINES
Will Meet at the Ocean-The Great
Columbia, a Regulator of
Hates and Trafilc.
Too much cannot be said of the natural
advantages of Astoria's harbor, which
are destined to make it the leading port
on the Pacific. Of two coast ports, that
port which has a great water route trib
utary w.U obtain the supremacy. This
Is net because the water route will se
cure all the tonnage, but because the port
has two things assured to it, cheapness
on law gride tonnage freights, and mora
than this, certainty of rites. Certainty ot
rates Is a leading cause of commercial
growth. No city left to th mercies ol
one or two lines of railway, will long in
vite capital against a. competitor having
a water route. On th water route an
lr.dellnlte number of competitors Is pos
sible, each with small capital, whenever
rates become high. Yet the cheapness of
ra'tes which la. water route compels is the
ultimate cause of prosperity even to the
railways competing to the same port.
This la being clearly proved in all the
great basins of th larsre rivers. The fact
Is very fully brought out ia the papers
of the recent International congress on
Ir.ijnd navigation, in the reports of the
United States bureau of statistics of in
ternal commerce, and toy such writers as
North, Ely and others. Some quotations
will show this:
"The water ways and railroads, while
antagonistic and in competition with each
other, have been on the whole, mutually
htlpful."
Neither of ;he two modes of develop
ment hasprevented the development of
the other. Transient retrogressions take
place In the tranlc by waterways, un
doubtedly partly coincident with the opin
ing of new railroads. Each improvement
introduced in the modes of transport
favors the ensemble of the economlcaf
prosperity and creates new objects in
tended for transport.
No proof is found anywhere) that rail
way competition has entailed a lasting
decrease in water traffic. It Is still less
seen that river navigation 1ns exercised
i prejudicial influence on railroad traffic.
The railways serve numerous regions be
yond the course of the river, which the
navigable ways can never attain.
Railways alone do not sucessd liv satis
fying the needs cf the commercial activity
of the Rhine region. There Is no less
reason to doubt that the fluvial way alone
Is suillclent. The most active encourage
ment of fluvial traffic would not stop the
development of railway traffic. The co-op
eration of both ways and their reciprocal
assistance, instead of a hostile competi
tion, seem to represent the exact principle
for the policy of the transport service-.
Undoubtedly the river fe;ders, by in
creasing the development of any region,
lncreas the high grade tonnage and the
business of the railways. The local ton
nage developed In any region by cheap
raw materials gives the railways another
source of income.
The- fact that the railways can branch
to all directions and reach not merely
nearer to the producers, nut actually to
them, transfers the advantage at once
from a city on a river that Is merely
inland, nearer the producer, to the rail
ways that branch out inde.flnitely and
reach. the producers In innumerable places
and almost at their doors. Thus the
railways transfer to the coast port the
advantages of contact with producer,
which the river routes and Inland ports
on rivers merely reach after and' get only
partially.
The New York Central road, following
the Hudson river for 140 miles, and with
a reiparjoable lack of lateral feeders from
any back country inaccessible to boats,
is so overcrowded with business that it
is constantly increasing its local yards
and sidings, and extending its third and
fourth tracks. The Illinois Central road
competes successfully with th? Missis
sippi river through the greatest part ot
its route, and find increased business be
cause of the business induced primarily
by the- river route.
A seacoast location for a seaport is
'the natural location for securing the
greatest possible tonnage. This is a
simple mathematical necessity. Any ves
sel going imland runs past a tonnage pro
ducing and receiving area. The ocean
versel can 'handle the tonnage for such an
area only by having this tonnage take a
course against Its desired direction. While
such an area is a wilderness and not pro
ductive, the vessel may run past it, but
the pressure against this operation and its
undesirublllty will increase every year. A
"seaport" on the great lakes would com
pel vessels to steam past vast areas of
valuable tonnag-j, would reduce the size
of passible consignments of any one ar
ticle, and put the merchant ut a disad
vantage much greater than any mere
transportation saving would compensate
for. Land is what produces tonnage,
and any port tsat aspires to be a mart
of trade should keep all the land behind
1: and tributary to it. Foreign land and
land along the coast also produce tonnage
and the foreign and the coiat wise radlals
will have their Fay, as well as the land
wise radlals.
These coastwise radial owing to the
small cost of getting th';ir tonnage by
water t- the main port, can afford to
pay a large price to the ocean carriers
for taking their tonnage, and are very
valuable sources cf revenue. How great
they are o.n the Northwest can be seen
by noting the figures for such tonnage
there. This coastwise tonnage Is over
CO0.0OO tons annually, as against only
200.000 tons in Portland's wheat fleet of
1891-2.
RallWiy transportation, by Its ability
to meet these coastwise radl lis at the
coast, and its ability to create radial
points there, has almost annihilated up
river radial points in new countries
whose radCals were the Immovable nat
ural ones of the river branches only.
Astoria has a harbor that the United
States government has secured an en
trance to, by an expenditure of $2,200,000
upon the Jetty at the mouth of the Colum
bia. This liarbor Is magnificent in size
and character; of ample working room for
vessris of the largst size; of great length
and concentration of water frontage; land
with a great number of waterways pene
trating the land. The harbor is well
sheltered by the peculiar "nipper-Jawed,"
or land-locked entrance that also fur
nishes a rpeedy aiid safe entrance for ves
sels to quiet water. 8he entrance ha a
great under-water precipice In the ocean
opposite, sufficient to serve for ags as a
dumping ground for scoured mitrrial. It
has a great river, furnihmg the excess or
outflow over the tidal inflow !ha: is al
most essential to th? permanent success
of a Jetty systsm. The harbor, although
so near the oast, has fresh water to
prevent the teredo, and to remove barr
uacles. Th entrance is over 3,000 feet
braid and over M feet deep at mean low
est low water. There is no other harbor
in the world anywhere nearly tqual In
advantages to this harbor.
The local feature of the northwest com
peting port are "very important.
At Tacoma the tides rise from 12 to IS
f et abovo spring tide low water. Thl
also constitute a perpetual tax on com
merce. It requires additional nil on. ail
tonnjg?, and t enormous Increase in
cost of structures and of filling low
ground. The current resulting from
these low tides, together with very poor
anchorage in rocky bottom, rocky shores,
the difficulties of lighting and range light
ing the channels, and the fogs and rains
of a damp climate, the cost of towage
and pilotago under such, circumstances),
combine to make Tacoma' approach
tedious, dangerous and expensive The
teredo increases tbj structural cost and
maintenance, and interferes with logging
and milling near tide water. Warehouses
are constructed on rollers, at great ex
pense, so aa to be removed from place to
place as the necessity arises for renew
ing plies from year to year.
The inland expenses and delays that
constitute a email percentage for a Jour
ney around the Horn, will constitute a
heavy and unbearable percentage for a
Journey via the Nicaragua canal. The
rapid passenger and oceam express busi
ness that increase as a country de
velops, and that are so lucrative, will
be done necessarily from the mouth, of
the Columbia.
At both Tacoma and Seattle there Is
ample harbor room and water frontage
for present needs; but there Is not the
concentration of frontage within a small
area which a winding river front gives,
and which a high grade port demands
for cheap and largo business.London,
by enormous expense upon basins, has
secured this artificially.
In examining the possible concentra
tion of feeders we find the Sound coun
try very weak. It Is closely walled in
on the east by the great Cascade range.
Each line of railway that crosses the
range by its own separate pass, find
itself at the tide-water as soon as it has
reached the foot of its western gradients,
with no Important extent of productive
country, execept for timber. (Portland Is
also practically walled in on the tast
in a similar manner, o far a productive
country ia oncerroed in that direction.)
Each line of railway to the Sound, on
leaching tide water, must either rest con
tent with ita own line, without the radial
concentration necessary to great develop
ment of business, or it must turn and
run a right angles to its general course,
and surrendering its own terminus, must
increase its length of haul In seeking
the terminal of a rival having & shorter
route. No radial gathering in of lines
on an equal basis Is possible. Hence on
the sound, the terminal locations and
terminal expenditures' are and must be
scattered and wasted over a long ex
tent of deep water short line; and no
or.e of the terminals will attain to a
commanding pre-emineno?. On the con
trary, the mouth of the Columbia is far
enough away from the Cascade range
to 'have railways converge without to
any great extent paralleling each other.
A radial is possible in time from the
south coast and California; one via Sa
lem and 'Albany from Ogden; one via
HUlsboro, from the Willamette valley;
one via the Nthalem Valley, from Port
land; one via the south shore of the
Columbia, crossing the Willamette near
its mouth, to Astoria; one via Vancouver,
from the Yakima country; one from the
Sound, via Kalama; one from th? north
coast and Chehali region. The south
coastwise radial Is exclusively controlled
by Astoria. Much of the north coast
and some of the IPuget sound: coast ton
nage will be so controlled. The most
Important radial feeder, namely, light
draught vessels and great tows on the
Columbia, will always be tributary to As
toria. As to local tonnage, we find the Sound
country with much lumber available on
the west of the Cascades. The steep
gradients east bound will tell against the
Sound Hoes when' rivalry im the lumber
business increases, and may prove to
be controlling. The roads crossing the
Cascades find no north and1 south valleys
on the range to serve as feeders. Almost
all the lumber must be secured at the
extreme western ends of these roads. On
the Columbia route there are many such
valleys directing lumber directly to the
railway. The same will hold true cf
coal.
The local advantages of Astoria as a
seaport are readily seen. The first ad'
vantage is the entrance. This has a
depth of 84 feet at lowest low water, or
of over 41 feet at 'high, water, with a
width of over half a mile. The entrance
is straight, and no dangerous islands or
shoals He outside. The 34 feet at th
entrance deepens , outside In a hundred
feet of dlsranej to a depth of from 66
to 70 feet. There is no entrance In the
world of first class depth where a vessel
so safely and quickly passes from the
free ocean to safe sheltered water.
Within the harbor is found the peninsular
formation (In this case double-, Smith's
po-lnt and Tongue point) which, by
doubling the water line, back upon itself
concentrates a great frontage within
a small area, massing business and secur
ing cheap and quick facilities to such
a d.gree that no mere "riverside" location
can compete with it. Additional to this
there Is the almost equally valuable and
somewhat similar feature of great pene
tration of land by small waterways, giv
ing invaluable facilities fop transfers
from cars or other conveyances to vessel
or the reverse. At all port where such
small rivers are found, these waterways
will be found crowded with busnless.
The business of the port, as contrasted
with the railway yards, where deep water
will permit (at Ban Francisco It would
not so permit) will be found on the penin
sula between, rivers convenient of access
from many different directions, and not
on one of the forelands near the ocean.
This keeps business near the larger ex
tent of water frontage. New York, Bos
ton and Charleston are so located.
The small difference between) high and
low water is of very great value to As
toria, being only about seven feet. Floods,
wlft currents from them, and malaria
from their deposits on the flooded areas,
are practically unknown.
In these days of cable and electric roads
capable of running on very steep gra
dients, high hill property formerly worth
less, has become a much coveted feature
of any city. In San Francisco and Port
land this remarkable change has been
felt. It not only makes all hill property
available for residence, but by permit
ting steep gradients for streets, has done
away with excessive costs of street im
provements. Wealthy resident will not
build on low, marshy ground. It caiv
be confidently said that no city under
ordinary circumstances will develop more
than a couple of mile from high residence
prop.rty, .unless the absence of deep wa
ter ironiage compel it. Yard and simi
lar feature of railway corporation;
may be located elsewhere, ss also the
nomes or the railway employes; but it is
general business, and residents of many
classes, and not railways, that create and
constitute citlc. The wealthy residents
on the higher ground are those who have
the wealth to decide the business and
business locutions of th city.
Astoria is nearest to the Union Pacific
system, and that road has an advantage
In making a "common point" of Astoria.
The more northerly roadsv wl'.h greater
distance required for their main lln
to reach Astoria, are likely to make con
tinued effort against Astoria for some
time. The roads from the southwest will
throw their weight necessarily in favor
of Astoria, when built, and it will be
found that that place I the only common
point on which the northwa-tt can ever
agree owing to it central locati.wi.
Now that the ral road Is being con
structed that Is ta b.-ir.T Into conjunction
at Astoria rail and water radial lines, no
power Can prevent this port from becom
ing the great commercial center of the
Pacific Northwest and her citizen should
not b slow in Mtlng the world know of
It. An expressed determination to meet
half way all manufacturing enterprises,
to maintain the prices of real etat at
reasonable figures, because there la plenty
ot it for all purposes, unity of action and
harmony of business methods will pro
duce a marveions growth in Dooula-lo"
and a phenomenal increase in all depart
ments of commerce that would have -tonlshed
old John Jacob As tor himself
could he Iwve lived ot se the fruits ot
the seed planted by him so long; ago.

Th? Harrison came In from, Tillamook
yesterday with seven tons of dairy pro
duce. The steamer Harrison leaves out Sat
urday for the Sluslaw river with can
nery supplies, including a large quantity
of tin plate.
The Alice Uianchari came In from San
Francsleo yesterday afternoon with forty
passenges and 140 tons of tin plato for
this city. She left up the river last night.
There Is a large squate-rlgger outside.
She will probably be in the harbor early
this morning. In the cours? of the next
few weeks there will be a large number
of grain ships in port.
The Elmore goes back on her old Tilla
mook run next Monday, after having
been laid up for some months. She will
carry with her on her firs', trip a large
quaivtl'ty of cannery machinery, supplies,
ami men.
The Sierra Parlm-i was fully loaded yes
terday and hauled out Into the str.am
In the afternoon. Her captain went up to
Portland last night and will return on
Saturday. The vessel will probably leave
or.'t for England on Sunday.
The Japanese are Insisting upon Search
ing American vessels, unmindful of the
fact that when the United States was
an Infant It went to war with the great

same proposition. The Japanese should
read American history and save them
selves trouble.
The British steamer Bawnmore came
Into port yesterday morning from 8ah
Francisco. As stated In yesterday's As
torian she will go to Portland and take
on a shipment of flour for Central Amer
ica. 'She will also discharge 120,000 gallons
of oil for the gasworks up th? river, and
will then leave for her South American
trip. A large number of people were on
the wharf all d'.'y looking at the steamer
aid at the miscellaneous cargo she car
ries on her decks. The Bawnmore was
here two years ago.
The private sloop Belle, which was us;d
by the notorious thieves, Charles Burke,
alias Johnson, and lid Staples, alias
Stevens, during their numerous depreda.
'tions along the Sound, has been purchased
by C. T. Albrech't from John Ladd and F.
E. Sims. New sails and a mast and a
coat of paint have been added to the craft
and she looks quite trim. Mr. Albrecht
had her out on, the bay a few days ago
and claims he "just walked around" the
Essie Tit tell and the Earl, says the Post'
Intelligencer, Burke and Staples, the
former owners, are still In Jail, serving
out a six months' sentence. . M. F
Powers captured t'hem and hunUd up
the evidence on which they were con.

The shaft of the old pioneer steamer
Messenger, which was burned and sunk
at Tacoma a long time ago, his been
raised from the wreck and brought to
this city, says the Ledger. Yesterday
afternoon, two old captains were discuss
ing Its merits, and one remarked to tlie
ot'her that there was never such another
shaft made on Puget sound. He went
on to tell bow the captain of the Mes
senger had had the shaft made in the
form of an octagon so that no matter
what happened It always did Us part ot
the work. If one plug got loose there
were others to keep things tight, and the
shaft being of eight sides could not slip.
The government snagboat blew the wrecH
to pieces recently. Officer Mike Powers
was greatly impressed with tha relic of
old steamship days.
Of the 200 or more ships and barks llt'lod
for San Francisco at the pres.nt time
therer are several that have never been
headed before for this port, including
soma new vessels making their first voy
age to sea, says the Bulletin. The Dirlgo,
now under charter at New York fir it his
port, is the first steel ship ever built In
this country. She went from the dock
In 'Malm? to Philadelphia, where she load
ed a cargo of case oil for Japan, ' eturnlng
to New York with assorted cargo. On
her second outward trip from, ihe At

Her builders and owners have construct a
some of the largest and finest wooden

A private letter from Oapltala Fred M.
Munger of the United States cutter Cor
wln brings important news from Bering
sea. The captain says that on June 19
the Corwln boarded th following named
vessels: Schooner ' Uranus, with 48,000
fish; schooner Lizzie Colby, with 63,000
fish; echoon-er Francis Alice, with 42,
000 fish; schooner Arago, with 72,000 flsh;
barkentine Jane A. Falkenberg, with, 7,
000 fish. This ie the laUst definite in
formation from tha Ashing fleet. Captain
Munger says all were well on the ves
sels. The Corwlm sighted the brig Oen
eva, Pauls n master, on the same date.
The Geneva had a general cargo and was
bound from San Francisco for Unalaska.
The Geneva wae sighted off Akutan
Island, June 21, In latitude 65 deg. rorth,
longitude 166 deg. west, th? Corwln
boarded the steam whaler Belvldure,
Whltesldes master. The BelVldera had
captured no whales and found it impos
sible to get north on account of the ice.
This augurs well for the early return ot
the sealing fleet, which when last heard
from was going to Bering sea. On June
2, when oft Cape Cheerful, the Corwln
boarded the bark Sonoma, with oal ana
supplies for the whalers. She had been
two Weeks about the island. The Corwln
towed the Sonoma, to (Dutch harbor, and
the United States cutter Commodore
