slonora held a meeting yesterday al II
wwco and lasueil a commliiston to the

bout. It Is understood that Ugoiou oppo
sition was mode to tlila action by CvMti
mlealoner Smith, who conlemleil that as
the roll tier was the ptoixrty of the idiots
of live tiregon side f the river It would
be both a violation of the pilot law of
Wahliierton and an Injustice to that state
to Issue a rommlnalon for her, she nor
none of her owners being subject to tat
allon on that side of the river, and Ihe
state receiving no ptuwible henrflt front
her. Commlsnlonore llrumbach and Koe
fed thought iHherwlae, however, with the
reeult that Waahlngton now has two pilot
biMta. the Pulltacr and Jensle, to tiregon'
one. It la the opinion f the waterfront
men that the action of the Washington
txwtrd foreshadows the withdraw-ill of Ihe
pilots now using the Ji-esln from that
vieel, leaving the entire nVId l the Uie
gon state 'hiMner, ths Sn Joe, and the

ASTORIA. Oct. J.-lvlltor Anorlun - j
At your reUesi I hnve the honor to prc.l
sent my views Upon the question ..f lire)
insurance In Astoria. - i
It Is on .cknw"'g,l fm t that lite In
surance Is alm.-t UouliUt to wluil It ought I
to b-, considering our splendid lire rqu p-f
ments. our unsurpsss"! water lucilitl-s
and the nutunilly moist undltlon vf our
buildings. What. then. Is the raaon for
this exorbitant overcharge? Nothing
but the desire of the i'aclllc const Insur
ance combine t h't the whole thing.
so long as Its victims do not rvlnre
Inclination or the aiilllty to register
kick. By that I do rwit meun a vertail ex
tiresslon of dlavlesiaure Astorlans hav
done that for many yrani but 1 ni'
a kick that will reach a ten.lrr spot
this insurance hog.
You ran talk all yu like and the hog
will only grunt, but hit his money ting
nnd he will tie careful not to eat up too
much of your profit.
I have discussed our grievance with sev
eral merchants and property holders and
they all agree wllh me that pimethln,
must be done soon, or else It will be
waste of time to do business with sui
a handicap. But nobody cares to tnke lh
Initiative becauee It Is a thankless Job
to undertake a reform against so strong
and unscrupulous a combine, whtoh ha
Its sgents. Its newspapers and unlimited
money and nerve to combat every effort
at relief.
However, when we look back upon th
heroic struggle of the Cubans, who re
sented excemlve taxation and the over
bearing conduct of the haughty Spaniard
when we consider that even the hulf
civilized Filipinos battled to throw off
tyrant s yoke, we cannot admit that th
business men of an American city will
forever submit to have so crushing
tritiute levied upon th-!r Incomes. No
city on the Pacific coast has been blessed
with so large a per capita Income as has
Astoria during the lust S years.
The fishing Industry alone has brought
millions among our people, but all this
wealth has slipped through our pockets,
jr. I.' thr'.urh n Hl"ve. Vte haven t hail
energy enough to produce anything but
resolutions and trouble. Wo have smt
hundreds of thousands of dollars to ('all
fornlo. for vegetables and fruits; wo have
sunt hundred of thousanda to 1'orlhind
and the Willamette valley for butter,
eggs, etc.; we havo sent hundred of
thousands more to Bcattle or British Co
lumbia for coal, while coal Ilea in abun
dance near our doors; we have sent
thousands of dollars away for lumber,
while every breath we draw almost smells
of Mr; and the Insurance hog has squeezed
almost all the rest of our great earnings
out of us; Astoria has been a great dsn
tank, with a leaky bottom, and If we
don't atop the lak pretty goon the bot
tom will drop out altogether nnd half UK, THIOL,
dozen rallrvxula won't reetore tho pros-1 torlan: My
portlty which we have dissipated by our
lack of energy.
We have exchanged the great wealth
taken out of our llh mines for something
to cot and for a limits, amount of In
suraneo, pretty much as the Kspulmo
or Ull islander exchanges his annum
products of Ivory, furs, etc., for a UMle
cheap Jewelry.
What would the people of Seattle, port
land, Spokane. Los Angeles or any other
live city do under like tlrcumntanci s?
They would organize for home protection
nd tell the Insurance hog to go to an
ther place, where flrrs never ccosu to
burn, and where old Luzlfcr wouldn't In
sure them at an rate.
What method would I propose? Thnre
are several; but I prefer to exchnngo
Ideas with my fellow-suffers when we
meet, and by co-operation, and profiting
