The oregonian has again demonstrated
its claim 10 rank as a great newspaper
in not only the general excellence and
magnifcenee OF the number put forth as
its special 1899 edition but in its ability
TO rise superior 10 local chickering's and
jealousles. Like all other meritorous
public institutions. the oregonian oeca-
sionally comes in for a good deal OF
criticism. and even misrepresentation
This is penalty. IT seems. that must be
paid for any sort Of distinction and real
merit in the public service Of free
speaking people. The oregOnlln appears
to realize this, and bears its cross Of
apparent depreciation and ingratltude
with becoming resignation and dignity.
In sDite of the inability OF our people
TO contribute 10 the expense OF its special
edition, Clatsop county gets as good
mention as any other worthy portion
Of the state. If it is any return for this
spirit Of magnanimity. the Astorian can
assure the oregonian that Astoria will
take as much pride in It's great special
edition as any other section Of the
Northwest Our people will read 1t and
send it to their friends throughout the
universe as a fitting representative Of
the civilization and enterprise of the
