Major c. N. Clark, whose interview on
the subject Of Columbia river improve
ments and the Astoria harbor we have
the pleasure Of reproducing from yes
terday's Oregonian, is a recognized au-
thority throughout the Mississippi VAL
ley on all questions of waterway and
railway improvements. He has frequent
ly appeared before special committees ap-
pointed by the legislatures of the states
along the Mississippi river in the capac-
ity Of expert witness and authority on
these questions, besides serving on nu-
merous state and Interstate commissions
having in charge such improvements, ana
his ideas have been repeatedly adopted
and put into practice by the general gov
ernment in the work done on the Mis-
sissippi river from Minnesota to Louis
lana. It is understood that the solid
delegations in congress of the Mississippi
Valley states will in the interests of the
improvements now in progress along their
own great river, urge Major ClarR's ap-
pointment on the new river and harbor
committee, and he will unquestionably
become one of its most useful and dis
tinguished members. 1t is gratifying to
know that Major Clark will take back
east with him a fund Of valuable data
and information, Cleaned from his own
observation and experience, which will
enable him to act inteligently and under
standingly on all questions pertaining
to the commercial interests of oregon
and the states Of the Northwest.

The sound currency committee of New
York has published by permission of Put
Mans Sons the owners of the copyright,
a chapter from Mr. Shaw's book treating
OF Ibimetallism in France 1t is there con-
cluslvely shown that France utterly
failed in her attempt at bimetalisih;
that the result was century of mono
metallism alternately OF gold and silver;
that her public and private finances were
repeatedly demoralized by the strain
thus put upon them; that the COM
mercal ratio between god and sill
yer was not 'steadler' or apparent
ly affected at all by Frances action;
that she was drained alternately of
gold ana silver according as one or the
other metal was rated at lower value
In her coinage ratio than in the ratio
axed by commerce. and that France her
self has fully appreciated this for the last
twenty years-the United States having
apparently been the only place where
there has existed any general impression
that bimeta.lism had been successfully
exploited in France"

A unique invention, perfected by Capt.
William Crozier of Sandy Hook and Col.
Butiingtor of the Rock Island arsenal.
mas recently been tested at the Water
town arsenal. 1t is u disappearing gun
carriage, mounted. The carriage, which
is built for an S-inch gun, weighs wnen
mounted about 6i tons, and can be easily
traversed or elevated in any desired posi-
tion. The idea Of the carriage is to pro-
tect the gun and the men from the enemy.
The gun is loaded and sighted from be-
hind its parapet and is exposed to the
fire of the enemy but few seconds while
1t Is being fired A charge Of 1870 pounds
Of powder is needed for the S-inch gun
and a projectile Weighing 800 pounds will
be used Boston harbor is to be equipped
with tails style Of carriages, and It Is
estimated that so viii be necessary. They
are also to foe placed In Portland, Me-,
New York, Potomac River below Wash
ington, Fortress Monroe and Fort Wads-
worth. When this system of disappear
ing sun carriages is put into the forts
ironclads Of a hostile fleet will probably
keep their distance.

ANOTHER SUGGESTION,
Association of Real Estate Men Instead
OF Exchange.

Astoria, August 80, 1895.
Editor Astorian:
Since there has been u great deal OF
discussion through your valuable col
umns regarding real estate exchange
for Astoria. / beg, before any steps tow
ard organization have been taken, TO
submit a few ideas for the consideration
of your readers.
It Is my opinion that 1t would be
mistake to organize real estate eN-
chance-but / do think there should be
an organization of real estate men, ana
business men generally, for that matter,
for the purpose of advancing the city's
interest 10y means OF systematic adVer-
tislng throughout the country. II
might be called bureau of advertis-
ing," or "luformation." The one aim,
however no natter by what name the or
ganlzatlon mighlt he known, must be 20
make Astoria the best known city OF the
present day, In the whole United States.
To do this It viii take money, and TO
obtain the money, Ii Is necessary that
those most interested In the future pros
perity OF our city shall associate them
selves together and work in harmony.
IL Astoria Is to become city OF any
prominence; II she Is TO rival her pro-
gressive neighbors on the Sound, she
must become at least as wen known as
those bustling and enterprlsing cities. II
is reasonable to suppose that no one
Interested In Tacoma, Seattle. or Port
land is going to give any material as
sistance to an effort to advertise AS
toria, and II Is just as reasonable to
suppose that no one man In Astoria Is
going TO take the single task OF doing
II, upon his own shouldres The, Cham
ber OF Commerce could have done It.
and might do so yet, still II Is more than
portable that II wlll not. II Is far easier
to form a new organization with sim
gle purpose. than to resurrect an old
corpse that failed to revive simply for
want of the necessary ambition. II an
organization can be effected for the pur-
poses outlined above. Il should be done
without a moments delay. E.
