COTTON FACTORY TO BE BUILT
Negotiations Pending1 Between Dr.
Kinney and Eastern Capitalists
-Likely to Prove Successful.
Paw, peahdps, ' in Oregon tiro aHvare of
the amount of cotton used In iBvis state
and the Norulhlwest generally. Along the
Columbia river tons of cotton tope, twins
and netting are used every year in the
flaihlng business, white on the Sound a ml
In Alaalca, kWltlonal tons are consumed
every season. All of lihis vast quantity
cf cotton goods comes firom Bctoton and
Baatimora m WlgBi-ctass tfnetelh't at heavy
expense to HSie Whrinn, and in the end
to tltte consumer of ualmon. . The cotton
nbra from wthddli 4s imamuflaetuired this
twine aim) Dotting is all elhlpped to Bos
tm from Georgia and Texan, tSnis en
tailing the expense of - freWht dhara-ea
botilj on tlhe raw material and rJhie man
ufaKttiured article on tOie Oregon flmhe rerun.
In converebltlon with Dr. Alfred Kinney
'Who to aliwajis looking out for something'
ffiUit wta beneflt ABtoKa,. that (rentUiwin
said to an Astorlan revreaenjlative that
negoMaWone were well under way, which,
if uMeSBful, wOuJd change all of this
and greatly reduce the coot of cotton
gootis to Oregon consunvuns. It is pro
pclsod to iput a plant in Astoria for the
manufacture Of these goods, and as the
aJvUntago are Whraje-tfold! there would
secme to toe no doubt altwut the ultimate
success of the scheme. ...
Tho fleM Is large and an entirely .un
occupied one. A manufacturer would
hmve the Columbia rtver, the Sound and
Alaska for his market Iwith. cheap freight
ra'tes and quick service to laid in selling
hto goods..
Tho Consumer ' here would save Just
difference In 'the fnelglMt ra.be ram Boston
to the coast on t'he high clatw nainufactur
ed article, Ibedause tho row cotton cuti be
hauled from Texas to Aistorla as Cheaply
aa t can be from TeHas to Boston.
Tile next great adrvamtage to the con
sumer would be that toe couM crdor.lv's
goocto as he needed Whom. As ft stands
n'Oiw jiwwji .o tihe goods BBkHttll of the
twavior orders have to be placed. in the

route a necessity. Unite is attended with
grealt danger, because seine nets must be
made to fit the ground upon Which they
are to he -used a1 red measdrements very
frequently ohamge on account of the Shift
ing of the sandl!.' Not long since George
Kabotht the well known ftehetvAan, order
ed in a certaiiri Deoemlber a seine for his
grounda, but when it arrived in the spring
tils flfitilng graunds had so ctnamged in
ttiape from the shifting of the sands
during 'the winter that he was compelled
to order an entirely new seine to be
th1 pped to hlm hy express at an add tlor.al
expense of 1800.
The amount of icotton used on the Col
umbia "Wver alone runs up into many car
loads every season. Each gill net re
quires the use of 60 pourrdis of cotton
each year. Carmeryimen say that if a
mamufiaicturer wan establish sucti a plant,
aa ts contemplalted, In Astoria, if neces
sary, they .will eutoscrCibe for one-ha'.'f of
tlhe neceseary capital etock, and many of
the wealthy Scandinavian fishermen of
Uppnrtown have stated that if a main
could be found who understood the buBl
riesj and upon whom implicit reliance
oorfd be placed to uttake them a good ar
ticle and honestly conduct the business,
Uhey iwould thomselvea put up the neces
sary capital.
Dr. Kinney its in correspondence with
Bow ton people on the cmbject and Mr.
Haimmond hall been looking Into the mat
ter on hlis present trip east, end there Is
no doubt but what Eastern capitalists
iwu be here in the eprlng to lnv(stirate
trte question. Shlould the Dodtors effrrta
be succecuful, and there ta every reason
to beilieve that they will be, the result
will be that labor will be provided for
hundreds, many thousands of dollars wUl
be kept at home instead of being cent
east, and Astoria will be In a position to
trot only supply Ure 'home demand, but
also the Pugc-t Sound and Akulc& mei
kets. THB HYDRANT QUESTION.
Shall the Waiter Rates Be Raised or the
City Take Care of the Expense?
V
At the last meeting of the city council
a letter from the city waiter commissioner
was read which brings up a question of
rrt.iro 'than passing importance. The let
ter is as follows:
Astoria, Ore., November S, 1895.'
To the Honorable Mayor and Common
OauncUl of the CHy of Astoria, Ore.
Gentlemen: In devising the water sys
tem wfntoh we are now having put Into
the c-' y, tin fire protection to be derived
wia i glkvn a very considerable considera
tion, and wiitti this matter ever before
the commission nothing, we believe, has
been left undone toward giving this dty
a fire protection unexcelled In the coun
try. '
Tills of cotrae cecessltated a very con
sldccalrjCio iddltlonal expenss in the sys
tem, and in consequence tt will be expect
ed that the property owner, "who will be
the one to be directly benefitted by th'b
protection," will help to itnare in the ex
pense of maintai nance.
Heretofore the entire expends ban been
borne by the water consumer, the prop
erty receiving, as it dM, little or no
benefit; but with the new system it will
be very different, and the taxpayer re
ceiving an equal benefit chould Join with
the water consumer in maintaining the
system. c, . .
In the system "fire hydrants" will be .
pCaced at all commanding points, In num-
dt aoouc one hundred.

THB iWATBB COMMISSION, .
By VT; W. PARKER.
. ' Chairman,
Attest: H. O. VAN DU9SN,
... .... Clerk. :.
This means in a few words that if the
city does not provide for the expense and
maintenance of these hydrants provided
for tlhje protection of the rich man's busi
ness property that Am poor man, who is
now hardly able to scratch up the month-
fTy dollar for tots water rent, and every
householder and head of a family, will
have to pay about double the present
water rate. '
The letter above has been referred to a
committee, and front the bm Informa
tion obtainable the matter will proably
not be handled until after election, al
though the committee will report at the
next council meeting. As tbe now water
plant will be completed by January 1st
it would seem to be important that this
question be settled at once. " t - .

London, Nov. 11. Tlie Marquis of Salis
bury's cipeech on Saturday Kit seems to
Abiveihuid a good effect tore and elaeAlhere
throughout Europe.
The oonWnental newap.ipers espress va-
rtous opinions regainllng 'the premier's ut
terances, but his remarks are generally
regarded as reassuring and as just What
wtas wonted to calm public opinion. Ills
language- alttrlbuftlng to the tu'.tan toe
nlhole responsroilllty for the condition
of aflkhtt in Armehla ts regar'Jed In some
quarters as calculated to encourage the
Airmenians to resist, biit all interested
seem to find comfort In- the stress Ud
upon the absolute harmony of the great
powers and in regujrd to tts continuance.
This Is looked upon as being the Sole
sure mode of detailing wftlh the eultan and
of Holding down the ambitions of Indi
vidual But-opean states. However, there
Is visible between ' the lines of the ut
terances of the premier an undercurrent
of feeling that war in the East Is mors
likely to be proposed than averted. In
any case it its understood there will be
no change in the . government's program
looking to the strengthening of the Brit
ish fleet very materially in order to be
ready for any combination of events that
may be Hkoly to occur.

of General Miles, commanding the army,
was mode pubOIc today. While It Is de
sirable to have reserved forces of ths
anmy near .the great centers of commu
nlctaiBton. General Miles urgently contends
that these points should be selected for
thedr stirateig-lc value, and thlat the ten
dency toward -concentration, should not
be carreld to the point of depriving the
weateirn sdttleimieints of proper protection.
Under the head of "Coast Defenses,"
General Miles states that the condition
of these such ais to require decided and
Immediate action for their "improvement.
He quotes fronvhls report of 1884, a strong

dl.in railroad connections have been ee
t obi If hied there, and not a rlngle gun
has been placed in position for defense,
wliitle uhbse at the entrance of the Colum
bia, aire orselete and of little value.
Gonwiul Miles recalls In tits report that
of 1889, upon the absolute Importance ot
the defense of the entire .Pacific coast.
In view of the fact .that It was pos.ibte
for any naval power to blockade any kn
pomtoint part within 90 diiys, wh le n would
take imany yoars to moke a successful re

relying upon its vantly tiuperlor nuixbiirs
for aaiftity, and eirg-ues mhat the best guar

To tilwxroushly domonstraJte the utility of
bicycles and motor wUgons in tan army it
la recommended -that a force of twelve
companies be equipped with these devices
to be manned from 4,000 officers end men
In the ainmy able to use the bicycle, which,
has been already extremely useful.
