New Astoria...
located at the tennlnns of tbe Astoria and
Columbia River Railroad, at the mouth of the
Columbia River.
It fronts on tbe deep water of the Columbia
River Harbor, and being perfectly protected from
wind and seas, affords the very best docks for
ships on this bay: therefore, it Is the exact spot
for the seaport of the great Northwest.
These facts were recognized by the Astoria
& Columbia River Railroad Co. when
New Astoria Was Selected as
the Starting Point for their Railroad
and the Location for the Terminals.
New Astoria Is platted upon a plane high
enough for perfect drainage, and well protected
by a high ridge behind it.
Its streets and avenues are wide, and, in
fact, it Is laid out on modern plans.
Extensive street improvements are now un
der way.

Messrs. Lewis and Flanders, of Port
land, are having a new cottage erected
on their Seal Kock property. Several
teams are kept busy hauling lumber to
their place from Seaside.
The regular weekly meeting of the
W. C. T .l will be held In Rescue Hall
parlors this (Thursday) afternoon at -o'clock.
A most cordial Invitation Is
extended to all the christian ladles of
the city to attend these meetings.
Professor S. A. White, of San Fran
cisco, was probably the first white
child to land In this territory. He w as
brought out by his father In 1S4. Years
afterwards he became owner of a do
nation land claim at Ilwaco under very
peculiar circumstances. The professor
went over to Ilwaco yesterday to make
a visit.
Superintendent Rathbone says that
he anticipates a very large travel to
Seaside from Portland this season, and
Clatsop Beach will have the bulk of
the visitors. The captain yesterday
walked over the line of railroad from
Warrenton to Flavel. and U much
pleased with the arrangements for
handling traffic.
At 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon, the
corner stone of Kopp's brewery will be
laid In the presence of a large number
of Invited guests, as well as the gen
eral public. Copies of the dally pa
pers, some coin, and a history of the
brewery, will be buried In the stone.
Judge Cleveland will deliver the ad
dress. Free beer and a brass band will
help celebrate.
The engineer working on the pile
driver at the Flavel dock fell over
board yesterday afternoon and struck
on his breast on a piece of timber filiat
ing on the water. His wrist was
sprained and a slight hemorrhage from
his lungs took place. It was said that
the accident was caused by the care
lessness of a steamboatman In loading
stuff on the dock.
What Is the matter with the local
sawmills? It Is estimated that over
five million feet of lumber, exclusive of
that used In the construction of the
railroad, has been shipped to Astoria
from Portland since the first of the
present year. It simply means that
thousands of dollars monthly are being
sent to Portland that should be kept
In Astoria. Something Is wrong. What
Is it?
REGATTA COMMITTEES.
Successful Work Done Yesterday and
Prospects Encouraging.
The regatta committee yesterday
was more than successful In Its ef
forts In raising funds for the carnival.
The firemen held a meeting yester
day, and have been Invited to meet
again on Saturday with the regatta
committee. The most harmonious ar
rangements have been perfected for
the carrying off of the two events.
Never before In the history of Astoria
has so much hard work been done for
any enterprise. This Is the best op
portunity that has ever been offered
for Astoiians to make a good show
ing, and the various committees are
making the best of the situation. Some
of the members of the soliciting com
mittee were unable to get down to buif
Iness yesterday, but those who worked
were more than satisfied with the re
sults. Every man will be hard at It
today.
There are a few people, and they
are among the influential, too, who
are holding back to see how matters
are coming out, or for some other rea
son. The business man or the property
owner who is only looking out for his
own Interest will certainly fall Into
line on this proposition, and If he Is
at all patriotic, will double the amount
of the subscription he first thought of
signing for. There Is not a man, wom
an or child In the city who will not be
benefited In dollars and cents, directly
or Indirectly. One merchant said yes
terday that he would not subscribe un
less his landlord did. Captain Rath
bone, of the O. R. and N., superintend
ent of water lines, says that if the
ocean race between the Jessie and the
Seattle yacht Is arranged, he will fur
nish the Potter to take the spectators
to the end of the Jetty to witness the
event, and If enough Interest is shown
he will also press the Elder Into ser
vice. This race will be similar to
those run off Sandy Hook, New York,
and will be something new on this
coast. Hundreds of people from the
Interior will be attracted by this fea
ture alone.

The Hon. Charles S. KaltvhlM. who
was secretary of the treasury during
Mr. Cleveland's tlrst administration,
was In the city yesterday with Major
E. McNeill, receiver and general man
ager of the O. It. ami N.. and Mr. A.
Marcus, of New York. Mr. Fail-child
and Mr. Marcus are the committee rep
resenting the bondholder and stock
holders of the O. It. and N. Hallway
Company, who will t'kl the property In
bulay at the sale at Falrvlew, In the
Interests of the reorganisation commit
tee, having the affairs of that property
In charge.
When questioned liy a reporter In
regard to the money situation. Mr
Falrchlld said:
"1 have been years In studying the
questions of finanre In Its relation to
the American people. When I first en
tered public office I had different Ideas
from those which I now hold. There
are many Intricate problems to be solv
ed, and yet, when one goes at It In the
right way they are not so difficult. In
regard to the free coinage of sliver, as
being advocated by some of the Demo
crats as well as some of the Itepuldt
cans and Populists of the west, you
can put It down as one of the first
propositions that the only one who
will be really benefited by the adoption
of free coinage will he those who are
In debt and whose obligation will ma
ture after the adoption of a depreciated
sliver currency, and who are able to
pay their debts. Ninety-seven per cent
of the people at large cannot be bene
fited by such a movement. There may
be more money, so called. In circula
tion, but a man will have to work Just
as hard for a day's wnges as he does
now, and will be paid In some of the
new dollars, but those dollars will not
buy as many supplies as the present
dollar does.
"I do not attach the same Importance
to the amount of legal tender money
In existence as others do. Ninety-five
per cent of the things used for the ex
change of property Is other than mon
ey, such as drafts, bills of exchange,
etc. Money doe not regulate (.rices.
The banks are full of money hut the
circulating medium has diminished be
cause the people have been scared by
all this talk and threatening of a
change In the system, and the credit
part of the medium (if exchange has
been withdrawn, and business suffers
consequently to a great extent. The
use of legal tender money In relation
to prices of commodities. Is only like
the grease on the axle of a wagon.
which simply aids In moving a ton of
freight, while the other portion of the
circulating medium Is left out of the
figuring.
"During the panic of 193 for a time
there was no money. Business was
done by other means. I know of one
community, personally, where a good
example of this was given. In a little
village north of New York where I
live, when the hard times came on. the
merchants and property owners went
to the little local bank and told the
president that they could not get mon
ey, but that they had to do business.
They arranged with that oftlclul to cer
tify to their checks upon the bank from
one dollar upwards, and during that
period these certified checks passed In
that community as money. It had the
power to purchase whatever the peo
ple there needed. Hundreds of other
communities did business In like man
ner during those troublous times. Mon-

FOR FURTHER ANNOUNCEMENT
rv would not be necessary anywhere If
It were not for the small transaction
ami the trouble and expense of Investl
gating the worth of small checks.
Whenever the system of check and
credit can be extended to the new
paper and street car business there will
he no real need of legal tender money.
A dollar I simply an order for some
thing else. Hut to lw good, It must be
an order for anything on earth, to the
extent of Us face value. If It la lead,
paper, or silver, you know that there
are some things In this country, and
many things In other countries that It
would not buy. and consequently It I
not good money. To lie gcd money It
must have universal acceptance.
Double the amount of g.H'd money
and the prices of commodities will not
rise, but double the amount of sliver
money ami price will rise because
there Is a doubt of the redemption of
that silver money, tiold Is good money
because It has been adopted all over
the world and will be received by
France, Helglum, tlermany, England,
tlumila. Spain. Italy, and other na
tions at the same face value. If all (if
the governments of the world, or the
leading government would agree to
the free coinage of sllvrr and It u
a International money, when the bul
ties world wanted gold. It would not
make any difference In the situation.
The value of silver ha not deereaed
because of any governmental action.
The fall In price a It appears to me,
came about because of the change In
the time and general modern Improve
ment. Quicker means of communica
tion are at band. Credit are more
easily and certainly examined, and the
to.il for the exchange of commodities
have Increased and become cheaper.
Thete Is more gold and silver In the
world than ever before, and the people
will use that which I les bulky and
more easily handled. SI'ver was re
tired to a great extent for the same
reason that Iron, copH-r and brass
were discarded In ancient time. The
larger tranactlon of commerce do not
want either kind of money, Huslncs
Is done on a system of credit, and o
long as the credit of the nation or Its
p.-ople 1 kept Inviolate, the amount
of money In circulation cuts little fig
ure. Every government I supplying
all the silver lnoney that the people
will use. While In London the other
duy I wanted a bill of exchange chang
ed Into money, and asked for one pound
In sliver. I got new money of this
year's colnag;. amongst It several
crown pieces, of the value of 11.25 In
our money. The ret of my bill I took
In gold. The banker told me that he
nu always glad to pay out the silver,
especially the larger piece, aa there
was no demand for them, the people
preferring either gold or banknotes.
"It seems to me that this w hole ques
tion Is a great bugaboo. Keep your
national credit good, and your money
on the sound basis which has been
In use and which has been adopted by
other nation, and your cheek and my
check will be good with which to pay
our debts, so long aa the solid value
I behind It.
When asked In regard to the harbor
and the object of hi preent visit, Mr.
Falrchlld said that he was simply de
llghted with everything he hnd seen
here, and was merely putting 'in a day's
rerreatlon while walling for the sale of
the O. R. anT N. Company's property
which takes place at 10 o'clock this
morning a few miles east of Portland.
"Your harbor Is one of the most mag
nificent I have ever seen, and from
present appearances and all that I can
learn and know about the situation,
you are certainly on the eve of a great
prosperity."

a sort of well, a muchlno I. 'ml

hi block In order, put some Ink
on tliem. also a piece of puprr,
then screwed his press down. Tht
wns called printing. Old ilutmtxrg

In This
Enlightened Day
There are many newspaper a a
matter of fact. Hut II I an utter
Impossibility to get a newspaper to
admit It. The advertising patronage
of a newspaper depend largely
ye, wholly upon It circulation.
A newspaper I a great deal Ilk
th humun body: If It circulation
I good. It prosper; otherwise,
otherwise. Horn paper publish
Want Columns
That I, a column, or a numlier of
column, duvuted to small advertise
ment. It a fellow want anything
trouble, a wife, a house don't
make any dlffcrvnoe what It l he
can get It by mean of a small sd.
Included In the "wr.r.t" column are
"For Bale," "For Kent." "Ixnt,"
"Found," "Btolen" and "Miscel
laneous." Now, Just see what
chumps some people are! Why, a
man has been known to hunt over
a city this city for days looking
for a house In which to live. Hod
he come to The Astorlan office and
asked for a want ad. he could huv
gotten hi house without the least
bit of trouble and for about 20 cent.
It Is Needless
To tell of The Astorlan' circula
tion. The paper ha been estab
lished for a quarter of a century.
Why, old Concomly read the Drat
rumor of th building of a railroad
to his braves from It, Circulation
Is The Astorlan' long suit. Conse
quently, when a fellow come Into
Th Astorlan olllce, look pleasant,
throw down 2T cents on the coun

gets It.
Why, Just Think I
The Astorlan goes Into every house
In Astoria and a great majority of
those In the surrounding sections of
Oregon and Washington. lience, It
you Insert an ad. In The Astorlan,
' It Is equivalent to engaging a man
to go around to all those houses and
telling the Inmates that you want
something or have something for
sale. Why, talk about a. snap!
A Bit of Advice
When you want anything no mat
ter what It Is when you have any
thing for sale; when you lose, find
or steal anything, come around and
tell your trouble to The Astorlan.
Bring 2G conts with you, and, above
all things, look pleasant. Tell the
clerk that you want a want ad. In
the want column, give him your 2ft
conts and go away happy. As Her
