he community that will best aucceeil.
The man who cultivates a variety ol
crop uion bis farm, will be more apt to
make n fair prollt than the one who
plants but ono kind of seed and depends
entirely upon one crop. Similarly the
city, w hich ha within Its bonier, several
ililtcrvnl enterprise, ami various mtinu-
liicture. will be the one least affected
In tlnien of Industrial depression, etrlLea,
or what not. It elands to reason that
nil out of half a doten or more factories,
would not nl the same time be nrrecira
by the same cause. If one or more lines
of bu.lne are depreiwsd, others will all 1
be In oiwratlon. nd the general avenge

Where, however, there Is but ono bust-
In it community, and that receives I
a blow which temiwrarlly stops all opi ra
tion., the whole city or community la
ncceaanrily paralysed.
The time haa arrived. In my opinion,
when Axtorln should reach out In all di
rection and develop tho abundant re-
aouri'ts at Us command. Once establish
lnrite export flour mill. n mills, tnn
nerles. Kniniirlea, pulp and paper mills,
furniture factories, woolen mills, cotton
mills, and any number of other manufac
turing enterprises that can be moat proa
perou.ly pursued In thla vicinity, and any
such crlHls ns tho present would go un
noticed as a mere spock on the horlxon.
All these things are not only possible,
but will assuredly be established In the
greater Astoria.
hat we want to do nere is to reco?-
nle now the situation as It Is, and take
to heart tho lesson Just taught, which,
while It bus been severe In Its effects
Uan all. yet has Its redeeming fcuture,
nnd perhaps in the end will prove to
have Im-ch a blessing In disguise. Let
each (i ml nil put their shoulders to the
wheel and strain every nerve, to forward
ing the highest Interests of themselves
and their city. Stop not nt trtrtes, and
look not back nt pust failures, nor heed
the advice of those who are always ready
to be false prophets where they nre net
P'-rsonnlly concerned or when they think
they can block the way of those who
would lie In the ndrnnce of Improvement
and the building up. morally, physically,
und tliianclally, of their city. Large sums
of money have been lost In the present
strike. io not stop to argue which side
Is In the light, but promptly take the
steps which will prevent such a whole
sale calamity In the future. If times are
hard In W, they will bo better in 1SS7.
With every business man united In the
one object of making a commercial cen
ter second to nono on the Pnelflc const,
prosperity cannot help but follow their
efforts. Join hands In every possible
manner In securing tho best results to be
ohiiilm-d from the completion of tho As
toria and Columbia Hlver Hallroad, and
In live vears from now a tlshermen'8
strike will scarcely bo noticed.
"Astoria's past has been a most pros
perous one. and when other portions or
the state of Oregon were sorely in dis
tress, nnd while almost the entire United
States was under tho ban of a llnnnclal
nunlc. Astoria was still prosperous. Wo
certainly cannot now afford to be down
hearted when such splendid prospects
loom up In tho near future. Klshlng or
no Sshlng, a few months from now the
affair will have been forgotten."

Mis. Ashley. Said a Witness, Tried to
Blackmail Colonel Pope.
San Francisco. June l There were sev
eral very racy development during the
hearing of the Ashley-Baldwin case,
which was resumed before Judge 8lack
today, when Detective J. R. Wood was
placed on the stand by the defense and
the fair plaintiff was presented to the
court In a decidedly unfavorable light.
The whole of the morning and part or
the forenoon sessions were consumed in
the cross-examination of Witness John
Osburn, the Oregon farmer. Attorney
Crittenden questioned Osborn about hi
letters to the plaintiff and extracted the
admission that the witness had tried to
carry out his correspondents' challenge
to see who could write the most ardent
love letters, and Miss Ashley tittered
amllhlw when her former admirer stated
hesitatingly that he did not write so ar
dently ns he knew horn. He could not
recollect, however, the term wttn wnicn
he addrvssed her. nor how many love let
ters he had written, but thought It
nilirht he ten or twelve.
Detective Wood testified that he nrsi
saw the plaintiff in ltl. wnen ne met
her by apiwlntment in the parlor of the
Trvmont Hotel. Boston, for the purpose
of ascertaining what she wanted with
Colonel Alfred A. Pope. A she was hys
terical and attracting attention he in
duced her to accompany him to his ottlce
and told her that he had received Infor
mation to the effect that she had threat
ened to see Mrs. Pope nnd tell her that
the colonel had ruined her unless he set
tied a comfortuble Income upon her. Col.
Pope told Wood to buy her a place in
Pasadena, for $2,000, If on her pari sne
would give Colonel Pope a written re
lease from all claims and return hi let
ters to her. Wood afterwards came to
the conclusion that Mis Ashley was try
ing to blackmail Colonel Pope, and he
declined to have anything to do with
the matter and advised the colonel to re
voke his gift of the rasndena place.

A FALSE RErORT.
The Booth Packing Company Tins Not
Offered Flvo Cents for Flsli.
St. Louis, June 1 What shall be done
with the colored delegates and alternate
to the national Republican convention?
This Is the question which is puzxllng the
members of ihe national committee, who
have arrived, and the Business Men's
Ivague, which secured the convention,
a well. Every hotel and boarding house
and cafe came out flatfooted today and
declared It would not entertain negroea
guest or customers. Money Is no object.
Threats of prosecution have had no ef
fect, and from th present outlook It
would seem that unlesa tent are secured
the black men will have to go hungry
and unhoused.
"I am thoroughly disgusted and dis
couraged," said National Committeeman
Judge Long, of Florida, tonight. In speak
ing of the matter. "I have been looking
all dy long for a hotel, board-house or
cafe that would admit negroes, but 1
have been unable to nnd them. I even
went so far a to try to charter a .team
boat, but, when the owner, learned for
what purpose I wanted It. they found
n excuse for refusing me the rent of It.
It Is the only time In the history of the
the Republican party where such an em
barrasslng predicament ha arisen."
When asked what the national commit
tee would do. Long replied:
"I have consulted those who are here
and have decided to offer a resolution as
soon a the committee meet condemning
the hotel and Inn-keeper nnd for the lay.

negroes who come to the convention. We
will also request the employment of
corps of cooks to supply them with ford."
This trouble has been brewing for near
ly a week. A number of day ago It was
learned by the Business Men' League
that some of the leading hotels had been
cancelling agreements with state delega
tions when the landlords learned that ne-
rro delegate were among them. It be
came so apparent that negroes were be

The Business Men's League when In

rates and member, of the national e

celve. With this It was Implied that the
cltlsens representing the city of St. Lou's
would ask and endeavor to secure public

to accord reputable and resepectaDie coi
ored men who would come here repre
senting their section and their people In
the Republican party ucti treatment as
any reputable and respectable person
would receive. It Is not believed a great
many would want to accept the privilege,
but It will be very humiliating If one ot
them with his colleague or friends or
alone should present himself In any pub
lic place and be refused admittance. It
is hoped, expected and desired by the
gentlemen representing the citizens who
secured the convention that all would
endeavor to meet the situation as Justice
and propriety require."
When the hotel men read thla they were
exceedingly wrathful. They said tt was

prosecute them for damages. They went
to the leage committee on notel accom

Why, naturally. It would not he von-

bidding exportation of unmanufactured
tobacco from Cuba was made solely with
an eye to th Interests of the workmen j
employed In making cigar on the island.
The great part of the manufacture of j
Igar la carried on In Key West and
Tampa, and at this time n i particularly Chairmen of Senate and House Ap-

should have every chance extended to
them to earn a living. I

"The usefulness of th ten days ot

within the week ending May 25 more than
34,6j0 bale of tobacco were (hipped from
Havana for port In the United State.
That, with the supply on hand, will last

I did not take Into eonal lera.'lon '
whether or not the enforced Idlene ot

of tobacco on which to work, would

larly that caused by the edict of General

bacco from the provinces of Havana and
Plnar del Rio.

bidding the Importation of manufactured
tobacco. It was spread among all classes,
but from the limited Inquiry which I have
been able to make In my travel from
Tampa, Fla.. I do not see that there Is
any ground for such an Idea. I am glad
to feel convinced of tt myself.
