say nothing Of high grades OF mould
ings. flooring. panel work. etc, Con.
tractors are obliged 10 go 10 Port
land for this class OF work when II Is
wanted In large quantities. This Is
not a favorable comment upon a dis
tinctively numbering town and dis
trict. As II was remarked yesterday,
the principal occupation OF Astorians
proved property and waiting for out
side capitalists to come In and buy Il
at fancy prices, Certainly little can
be accomplished for the advancement
OF the city and the lower Columbia by
such methods. The rule does not ap-
ply to all as there are many notable
exceptions who have given literally
and worked hard TO secure the rail-
road and have made advances tow
ards securing manufacturing enter
prises. The work, however. OF build
ing up this port has only just COM
menced. The railroad, while II ls the
beginning. and most important part
OF the march OF events, Is really the
smallest part The hard work Is yet
to be done. The merchants who ex-
pect things TO come 10 them. should
turn In and do something themselves
towards establishing payrolls in this
city. II Is by these enterprises that
they are TO be permanently benefited,
and the merchants should be in the
front rank Of every movement looking
TO the securing OF factories. ware
houses and drydocks. Had there been
large establishments here. with the
nerve and grit to enter the field, 1t is
not probable that the contract for
building the line to Goble would have
been let to Portland merchants at
one hundred thousand dollars less
than the lowest Astoria bid.
One OF the first enterprises needed
is sawmlll and sash and door factory
capable Of supplying the needs OF the
horne market as well as furnishing
cargoes for shipment to the Orient.
1t is almost certain that the next con-
gress Of the United States will pass
the Nicaragua canal bill, and before
many years oregon lumber will not on
ly go TO a few markets In the orient and
along the American Pacific coast, but
1t can be put into the markets of the
Atlantic seaboard and Europe. All
these matters have to be taken in time
and preparations made TO meet fu-
ture conditions which win arise as
surely as the sun set last night Other
lines OF industry are Just as important
and need the same attention. II goes
without saying that those same ener-
getlc, hard-working business men
who have 80 far stuck TO the Astoria
proposition will continue their good
work and enthuse their lukewarm
brethren.
