Having, through large draft vesseK se
cured the outbound freight and having se
cured tine, fast Inbound freight. It must
follow that all freight, both wn.w, will be
delivered at Astoria. Irut. even no, the
active efforts of rhe merchants will be re
quired o convert Astoria from merely
an "ombarkadero" Into a trade center.
What can tho residents of 'Astoria other
ttinn tho merchants, do? Not much with
out nioney. All the talk about energy
and effort amount to little without money.
Money la to biislncm wiat aleam Is to the
engine or steamship. "Without It we may
try to puh these great fcodle along, but
we cannot awomplWh much. In time
real estate will have some selling value:
under existing; laws to maintain the par
ity In the valuo of It gold and flivcr

for all monetary purposes always be
equal In valuo to the dollar of ttie other
metal."
est moved to table the amendment.
The yeas iul nays vote gave the flrvt
test of the respective elements, resulting
42 lo 37 In favor of tabling the amend
ment.
Then came the Loilge amendment, as
followa:
"That Mio bond of the United Stat
lsued or authorized to be Issued under
tho said act of congress hereinbefore
recited and payable tprinclpal and In
teres!) In gold coin or Its equivalent and
that any olluv payment mitlhout the oon
sent of creditors will bo In violation ot
public faith and In derogation of their
rights."
Vest moved to table the amendment
"I hope tho senator will wluhdraw the
we may have a ill roc t vote on
nnd resident of Astoria owning rial es- ny,tlln ta '"N''1" ''"''Teed V'olcott, "so
tate, If so situated as to do business here,
can then help the town nnd themselves by
placing money derived from real estate
aalea in active enterprises, either by com
bination of email mns of money or by
tho owners not being ashamed to berln
business numbly on their own account.
P' push, as found In any active, neigh
boring cltle, Is really meant doing one ot
thee thvo things by large numbers In the
community.
One other thing can be done to advance
tho business welfare of file town. It
hardly seems a matter of business, hut Is
wry much o In reality. Convert your
stump gardens Into ornamental ones. The
unsightly stump and hideous half-burnt
trees that abound on Pacific hillsides
have driven many well-to-do eastern fam
lllse back to their eastern homes. Kvery
thing ornamental that Astoria may under
take, whether In her retddenee gardens or
her streets, will be seen from afar and
talked of farther. When beautified us she
might bo, ehe will become famous over
tlhe land, for, set upon a hill, her beauty
cannot then be hid, as her ugliness can
not be hid now. Attract the families of
visitors to a permanent home, and the
pockothooks of the heads of families will
open generously toward local enter
prises. A plat of garden on tho hillside

There, was Intense Interest during this
vote, as It .presented a more direct Issue
than ha.l been anticipated. A niambor
of amendments were offered by the oppo
nents of the resolution, but tihey were all
laid on tho table.
The docks were cleared for the final
vote on tne loner resolution. Tne eara.T
Votes had shown that Its pa-ago was a
