Yaipilna Pay News: ll Is very refreshing to read the Ore gorilan's reply to "Astoria" Grievances,'' It says the A. & C. H. R. will bn a great convenience to Astoria us affording the citizens of that enterprising city a chance to trade In tho "metropolis." Just think of that, and yet the facts are that ttie O. R. & N. Co. will use the river, II being tne cheapest route and the next legislature will be asked lo reduce the pilotage atul towage in the Columbia to Its minimum, and 'l,.it will be proper, since it Is calcu lated to decrease the shippers' rates, but It Is death to the ambition of the A. & ". railroad aa a freighter, for no railroad can ever compete with water transportation. Hut right here, the Oregonlnn says Port land Is attending to her business. Just so, Is the Willamette valley learning tho les son, If not, why not? Tho shortT route Is always the cheapest, and we have no pilotage or towage on Yaqulrm liny, let us attend to our business and be benellted thernby. It Ih one thing to secure (-neap rates lor the farmers and ll Is another to keep It against the same Influence Astoria Is contending with now. PIANO TO BE GIVEN AWAY.
