Don't Do It.

1t is with pleasure We read in the
Sound papers and that sprightly jour
nal, the Chehalis Vidette, of the many
advantages of natural resources and
geographical location that are pos
sessed by the pleasant places where
our journalistic brethren publish
their enterprising newspapers; and
the fact that any territory, more es-
pecially that portion of it Immediately
near Astoria is so richly favored, is 10
us a cause of unalloyed delight. But
the pleasure that our friends occasion
is not wholly unmixed with regretful
surprise, when we find misleading and
uufavorable reference to the Columbia
river, more especially this side of that
noble stream. In all kindness we
would ask, is 1t requisite to attempt
to belittle any portion of this country
IN an endeavor 10 talk up another
portion of itl Is 1t necessary in set
ting forth the advantages of locality
to further disqualifedly qualify it by
disparaging statements relative tc
other placesl 1t would seem to us as
though we all have splendid coun
try to live in and for, and that al
parts of it enjoy common prosperi
ty. While such petty spirit might bt
excused in small sections, it is out o.
place in such boundless area of nat
ural wealth and resources as this, anC
should be tabooed. Praise your own
but don't run down your neighbor'
property.

The New Postage Stamps.

The American letter writer has for
so many years had his patriotic sym
pathies narrowed and his reverence
for the father Of his country sorely
tried by the painful caricature OF
George Washington, with its swollen
Jaw, brutal features, and dropslcal
neck swathed III an untidy dinner
napkin, ON the three-cent postage
stamp, that the 1st of October, with
its reduction of letter postage and
new issue of stamps, brought double
relief.
The new stamps are ready for issue.
In the new two-cent stamp 1t is to be
seen that the aching molar has been
pulled, and the facial swelling has
snbsided, while the head and face
bear some resemblance to the por-
trait In the refinement of The lines
and expression Of the features. There
is an improvement in rhe arrange
ment of the hair and queue.
The head now rests in an oval me-
dallion on an heraidic shield. The
lettering shows more sharply and dis
tinctIy than in the present stamps; at
the top, the legend, United States
Postage" and below the medallion,
1.-TWO . cents" standing out clearly
on groundwork darker than the body
of the stamp; while the color, a pale
carmine red ink, in which oxide OF
iron is a powerful component, suffi-
ciently distinguishes the denomination
without blurring the design.
The double rate, or four-cent
stamp is of n green color, and bears
the head of the Hero of New Or
leans, somewhat less unkempt and
frightful than other government carl.
catnring of the grand old Democrat.
If Andrew Jackson actually resem.
bled his postage stamps, he needed
neither military skill nor equipment
he had only to go forth and look upOr
his foe "and the red field was won.
The process of printing these stamps
differs essentially from that of Eng
land and continental nations WhC
continue to make their plates directly
from the original die, and to print
from raised designs on blocks likl
types. The American Bank No,
company's process is, however, TO Gu
the original die on soft steel In sunkel
lines, ard from this, being hardened
a roll Of raised transfers like type ar
obtained, and from these, in turn, ar
produced plates of two hundred stee
copies of the original die, in sunkel
lines, from which the stamps are fl
nally printed.

Which the Same Applies to Astoria.
Discussing domestic matters the
Standard saws:

Discussing domestic matters the
Standard says:
fThe good wife, who can, in Port
land, set out good substantial break
fasts, luncheons and dinners for u
family Of four or FIVE for thirty days,
for any less sum than $40, is entitled
to the admiration of her husband and
neighbors. The first is assured of
perhaps $50 more each month with
which to pay rent, and possibly $50
additional for clothing, ETC.; the Sec
ond are proud of her economy. If
she does IT, she must be in constant
war with those from whom she buys,
or on the alert for bargains of those
who do business from market wagons
rater than shols OF stores. The mar
ket men and grocers here pile on the
prices unconscionably. else they are
compelled to make these high charges
in order to crafty wholesale dealers.
Whatever may be the relative cost of
sugar, coffee and other standard
articles, meat and vegetables, fruits,
fish and many other minor things cost
much more here than they should.
1t is certainly all ont of kilter when
a mechanic getting $50 per month has
to pay about $40 per month for the
mere feeding Of his family Of four.
Without All exception the papers OF
| this Pacific Northwest are continually
saying that We Of this state can raise
more vegetables, fruit and the
| like to the acre than any section
of country on the American
continent. We possibly can, but the
prices asked for these things show that
we don't do it, and the manifest OF
every steamer shows that California is
feeding Oregon and Washington terri
tory. The fact that mechanic getting
$50 per month and is compelled tC
spend nearly half of it for mere foot
for his small family, Indicates the tota
cost per month. Add $50 for rent
water, light, wood and other incidenta
and unavoidable expenses, and the re
suit shows that no amount OF prudenc,
can keep the expenses of such a fami
ly down to less than the income
When it is the rule rather than tn,
exception that men cannot get III thi
land of plenty more than enough t.
scantily provide the bare necessitie
of existence, it is certain that some
thing is wrong.
| There will have to be 4 settling
down of rent rates and the prices O
produce and provisions, or an ad
vance in wages. One of the tw'
things is inevitable-an this winter
too.

a Little One Sided.

Four years ago 163, ,4S7 voters said
in California that they were opposed
to Chinese immigration, and when the
Chinese restriction act was passed
over President Arthur's veto nearly
everyone on the coast was glad of 1t,
and felt as though it was a good
thing that those yellow fellows who
live on rats and rice should be made
stay at home. And they were right.
But it has had the effect, unforeseen at
the time, of making the whilom meek
Mongolian who had been fortunate
enough to be here, "stuck up" He
knows his worth, and demands It,
Ask him to do job of work, and Sc
cure from competition he calmly sets
his price, and gets it. Time was

more pigheaded than a Chinaman on g

Albert Baker, who resides on his
farm about three miles from Ilwacc,
had an encounter with q bear last
Saturday, in which he came near los
ing his life. He shot the bear FIVE
times Friday evening, about dark, but
not succeeding in killing him, the ami
NAL hid in the bush. Next morning
Mr.. Baker, with the aid of his dog,
tracked the bear and shot him about
the jaw. Bruin then showed fight,
knocking Mr.. Baker down and scratch
ing him up considerable. Amos EN-
bree went to the rescue, and with his
rifle dispatching the infuriated animal.

The San Francisco papers TO
hand give a fuller account of the late
railroad conference than anything re-
ceived here SO far. 1t transpires that
the Northern Pacific didn't get all it
claimed as far as Astoria is concerned
special exemption being made in rela-
tion to this place, the Central and
Southern Pacific keeping the
right to ship canned salmon
from here at the same rates
ss the Northern Pacific. But
that is Of secondary consideration, a:
the managers have agreed not to al.
low the public the benefit resulting
from competition, or in other words
whatever benefit usually does result
from business competition shall b,
pocketed by the railroad companies anG
not by the public.

M II. E. Levy states that salmon
are now being caught in large num-
bers. One of his Indian crows caught
2,3lS large fish at one haul of the
seine yesterday afternoon. 1t has on
ly been during the past three days
that salmon came in from the deep
water, so that they could be taken.
1t is more than likely the packer:
from this time on to the close of the
season will have more fish than they
can care for. Seattle Post InteIligen

THE Historian a few days ago
contained an account of a coal find
near Knappa, and the attention of
practical men with money being at
tracted, the preliminary steps were
taken in Astoria to form a joint stock
company, TO open mp the mine and
work it. But as sometimes happens
those who were the most interested
demanded such terms as made it i'm
possible to proceed, and the result is
nothing. The moral is obvious.
