The Oregonian and the Asto-
rian are each laboring very hard
to settle the transportation prob
lem. The Astorian claims that
the Oregonian misrepresents the
facts. while the Oregonian claims
that the Astorian 1nisconceives
the facts, and thus reasoning from
false premises the fabric builded
thereon by the Astorian are with
out substantial foundation and
its reasoning not pertinent to the
issue. The Astorian ably cham
pions the cause of its owa city
as the natural place for the load
ing of all outward-b bound cargoes
of Oregon and Washington cere-
ais, while the Oregonian quite as
ably quotes with evident satisfac-
ton the advantages of the me-
tropolis of the Northwest, its
large tonnage, the facilities and
the dispatch with which the grain
fleets are loaded. If the discus
sion is not allowed to drift into
channels entirely foreign to the
question at issue both localities
will bebenehted.

Should Keep the Philippines.

Captain Heath, of the Oregon
volunteers, now at Manila, has a
three and half column letter in
the Telephone Register, and be
ing formerly ore of the publishers
of that paper. and by that source
we'll known in Oregon, his letter
is quite interesting. His conclud,
ing sentence follows, and the senti-
ments expressed are those of most
every one on this coast.
If the people of the United States
surrender the territory conquered,
they are foolish. With Hawaii,
the Ladrones, the Carolines and
the Philippines i'll our possession,
we control the Pacific ocean as a
military proposition and drive a
wedge into the trade of the Orient
that in time will split the CONT
nent and tumble the proceeds into
the pockets of the energetic
American. These islands have
been in the control of Spain for
over 800 years, al d are not as
we'll developed as the Grande
Ronde reservation. The island
of Guam, for instance, is suitable
for cealing station for warships
and fast passenger and trading
ships, and is situated as most
convenient point in the line OF
trade. Out of this soil several
million dollars can be taken
annually. Under Spain it is worth
less except to enrich not to exceed
six Spanish officials. A visit to
these islands will show more than
words their possibilities, and it is
a crime to say to Spain Take
them back.'' Keep what we take
is the verdict of the 5000 men III
this expedition. Let us hope fol
the sake of American progress
that lie islands will never. revert
! to Spain.

The little waif of a newspaper

Missouri a few weeks ago TO bleed

lied, has gone to Join the angels.
Ii was a dismal failure from start

From the above from our con

Printers are responsible for low

years-some six or more newspa-

run only a few months. Our busi-

There Is more catarrh in this sec

eases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it 4 local dis
ease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional dis
ease, and therefore requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Ca
