NOT HOSTILE TO PORTLAND.
Astoria Rejoices Over Her Success IL
Getting a Share Of the Trans
port Business.

II is announced as certain that the
Thirty-ninth regiment viii embark for
the Philippines at Portland. and 1t is
very probable that the Forty-fifth will
follow. The successful experiment with
the Thirty-ffth is causing the govern
ment 10 look upon the Columbia river
With favor.
A casual canvass Of Astoria business
houses indicates that there is none Of
that hostility here towards Portland's
enterprise in securing part of the trans
port business for the Columbia river
that some Of the Portland papers rep
resent as existing in Astoria
The honest fear has prevailed that
Portland's ambition. however praise
worthy. might press the river beyond
its capabilities and thereby seriously
damage the streams commercial rep
utation. 1t Is Astoria's deep friendly
interest in the river that has been mis-
taken for enmity.
Everywhera. as the As,orian reporter
made his rounds, was satisfaction eX-
pressed over the successful trip Of the
Rio de yaneiro and the Sikh. OF course
Astoria would like to have more than
an incidental interest in the transport
business, and it has been suggested
thar immediate action may secure for
this city a share in the Quitting Of
the next government carriers that go
from the Columbia to the Philippines.

alyRed Chicago Girl

CHICAGO. oct, S.--Harriet Heilbu;h,
five years old and for two years blind
AMI a paralytic has had her sisht and
the use OF her limbs restored through

A PLUCKY WOMAN.

An interesting incident happened yes
terday on Bond street, which rebounds
much to the credit Of the wife Of one Of
Astcria's best known merchants. A
fierce bull dog sneaked into one Of the
shacks in the Chinese quarter and
grabbed a fine cat, the pet Of that
whole neighborhOod. The dog ran to
the center Of the street and proceeded
to shake the life out of the cat, while
a group Of gesticulating gibbering
Cinnamon stood at the edge Of the
sidewalk without daring to interfere
with the sport Of the ferocious mon
ster. Just at that juncture lady came
riding down the street on her pony.
Her attention was attracted by the
crowd and the piteous screaming Of the
cat. Without a moments hesitation
she dismounted and threw the rein
over her pony's neck. Walking right
into the melee, she seized the big bull
dog by the nape of the neck and pro-
ceeded to wear out her riding whip on
his carcass until his cries resounded
all over the block. The poor cat was
killed, but It's murderer got such a beat
ing as perhaps he had not received be-
fore in his whole lifetime. After whip
ping the dog until her strength was
gone, the lady threw the dog from
her, remounted her astonished pony
ard rode off without a word. 1t was
one Of the pluckiest and most applaud
ed street occurrences seen in Astoria for
a long time. The lady deserves a medal
and the human society ought to find
out who she is and so reward her.

UNITY OF ACTION.
The Watchword of the Pacific Coast
Cities Against the Aggressive

Sections,


Local men regard with favor the
movement to organize the commercia

fit and protection. So far it is the
Wholesale merchants who are acting

but their coming together is regarded
as the beginning of a general active
unity Of coast interests.
The Middle West jobbers in their
campaign in fields which coast whole

port Relative to the course TO be pur-

De Almond was quite emphatic.
1T should be one OF aggression. We

majority party in tho house on the de-
feusiye and thus develop the weak points

How do you regard the administrations

Inhabitants OF the Philippines are entitled

There is no excuse for US to disp, ace
