nancially or commercially.
Special attention is given tomat-
ters concerning the State and its
welfare, while its local columns
contain ali that is Of the slightest
interest to Alexandrians.
Its regular correspondence from
Washington and Richmond are fea-
lures of peculiar interest, as attest
ed by the eagerness with which
they are read and copied by other
papers, while its editorial depart
ment, conducted with reference TO
the best interests of the city, State
and country, will continue to ad-
vocate what is believed to be right
just, honest and patriotic.
With a view TO the interest Of
merchants, farmers and all inter-

Hussr IN MID ARA Boonvi!le, Ind,
dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer Gays
"Hsrry Street, an attache of Hutchinson &
Co.'S Wild West show, attempted an sscen-
sion in balloon and parachute. When
the balloon reached al attitude Of about
three hundred feet 1t suddenly burst, ana
at once careened and made rapid descent
10 the earth. The aeronaut attempted 10
spread his parachute, but failed. He land
ed upoa the edge of the roof Of house with
q dull thud that could be heard the distance
4ot a square, and then fell to the ground
about twenty feet away. He was picked up
in an unconscious condition and taken into
the house. The physicians pronounced his
Injuries probably fatal. He is young man
eighteen years of age, and said to have been
possessed of wonderful nerve, and vas quite
favorite with the company. His home Is
at Dubuque, Iowa. The accident was Wit
messed by large crowd of people, who we're
almost terror-stricken at the sight OF the &C.
pldent, the balloon landing within sixty feet
from the place it assembled. Ia the first at.
tempt to initiate the balloon several holes
were burned 10 it which were afterwards
patched, and at that part the canvas burst.
The company have another balloon and
another man who will perform the same
feat attempted yesterday with such ssd and
fatal results"

THE INTERPRETATION THEREOF

A COMMITTEE of the Astoria chamber
of commerce has sent memorial to the
legislature protesting against any reduc-
ton of pilot charges on the Columbia
river bar.
1t seems, then, that it pleases the gen
klemeu of this committee that the COM
merce of the Columbia river shall con-
time to be heavily taxed. They like the
present situation, apparently because
they want to take care of squad OF bar
pilots. who are residents of Astoria. But
It is perfectly clear that if the state Is to
take care of them, it would be cheaper
every way to put them on a pension roll.
The pilot service can be and will be
performed for less money than now, II
the state will allow it. Towage has been
greatly reduced, and pilotage should be.
And, until pilotage is reduced, it will not
be possible to ship from the Columbia
river as cheapiy as from Puget sound.
Reduce the pilotage, and new scale
NAV be and will be made making the
total Service cheaper to commerce.
The committee of the Astoria chamber
of commerce, it would appear, do not
want reduction of charges upon COM
merce, do not want to relieve the pro-
ducers of the interior, do not want to
compete with Puget sound, but desire
to maintain a condition under which the
pilot ring of Astoria can extort every
possible dollar from the producers and
shippers of the country. This Is the
true Interpretation of the protest against
reduction of pilot charges.-Oreqon'dn,
rs.
The above is manifestly unjust. 1t
does not please the gentlemen OF the
committee, nor any member of the
chamber "that the commerce OF the
Columbia river shall continue to be
heavily taxed" But they recognize
the sinister and sectional motive OF
the bill and oppose it therefor. They
do not want to stake care of squad
OF pilots" but they want to see justice
done an important branch Of the com.
mercial service on the Columbia.
The OregoniGn interprets the re-
cent action of the Astoria chamber oi
commerce in a manner that is In di
rect opposition to the intent. The
OregoniGn argues, of course, from its
point OF view, but it is mistaken. We
give the Oregonian credit for SINGER.
ity, but it views the matter with 6
limited horizon.
The committee of the chamber oi
commerce does want to compete with
Puget sound, and that is exactly the
reason why they want to have due
and proper protection to commerce.
But how is it with the Portland
board of trade? Are they really and
sincerely in earnest In a desire to
have the Columbia river compete
with Puget sound? II they are, lei
them look into the charges in and
about Portland. There is the real op
preston. There is ring In Portland
that does not want to be interfere6
with. They don't care what is ol
isn't done, SO that their charges are
allowed to obtain.
This ring embraces several gentle
men in social and business circles
who have amassed wealth on fresh
water shores.
Their charges can be dispensed
with with less loss and far more jus
tice than the attendant expenses OIL
safely conducting vessels to and from
the open sea.
