Astoria Common Point Discussed In
the San Francisco Call.
ABLE EXPOSITION
The EaiiroGds and Wheat Pool Now
Combine to Prevent a Real
Seaport Competition.

The following special dispatch pub
llshed in the San Francisco Call Of last
Sunday viii be Of interest to Asto-
rians. II sizes up the situation very
exactly and will attract attention and
accomplish much good in quarters
which Astoria most needs to reach
just now. The Calls correspondent is
one of this city's best known newspa-
per men:
ASTORIA, Sept. 23.-Whether or not
the Vanderbilt ocean-to-ocean system
is to terminate at Astoria is a aues-
tion that is being anxiously discussed
In Northwest railroad circles. The fact
that the Astoria & Columbia River
Railroad is owned or controlled by men
who are interested in the Vanderbilt
system gives rise to the belief that this
city will be made the Western terminal
Of the new transcontinental, and that
in the near future all the products Of
the Columbian basin will be shipped
from this port.
The Astoria & Columbia River Rail-
road runs to Portland where It con-
meets with the transcontlnentals. Thus
far the latter roads have refused to
grant common point rates to Astoria
except on lumber. and wheat is stu
shipped from Portland. The common
point question has been agitated for
several months past and plan is now
on foot to make it a political Issue in
the next state election.
Advocates Of the Astoria proposition
contend that the granting Of common
point rates to this port means say
ing Of over three million Of dollars an
nually 10 the farmers Of the inland
empire. At the present time the Ore
gon Railway and Navigation Company,
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
are under agreement to maintain GER
tain rates. The Oregon road has a
great advantage over the lines ter
minating on Puget sound in a fine
down grade, and It has been estimated
that where the cost to the Oregon .
Railway & Navigation Company Of
hauling a ton Of wheat from points in /
the Columbian basin TO Portland is but
rs cents the cost to the Northern Pa

.lfc and Grea. Northern is ,1.2O.

cific and Great Northern is s120.
Owing to Portlands limited harbol
facilities the cost Of exporting wheat
from that place is very great, and It 1.
mathematically demonstrated that the
granting OF common point rates on
grain to Astoria would effect a saving
to the farmers Of $3.50 a ton. the great
er tonnage possible at this port being
ore Of the principal reasons for this
great difference. The railroads and
wheat pool stand in on the deal how
ever, and over {3,OOOOOO annually is
mulcted from the wheat growers. The
farmers are now taking up the agi-
tation and it is understood that an ef-
fort will be made to have the next
state Legislature bring down to a rea-
sonable figure tn exhorblant rate now
charged for hauling wheat TO Portland.
OF course, II the vanderbilts have de-
cided on Astoria Is the terminal for
their line, no other railroad combination
could prevent the exporting of wheat
from Astoria. This Is why officials Of
the railroad combine are worrying, and
why the farmers Of the inland empire
and .he people Of Astoria are on the
anxious seat.
Recently there was formed in New
Jersey the Astoria Company, with a
capitalization Of 100000 This COM
pany is at present secretly buying up
immense timber tracts near this city
and gathering in all the good things
The incorporators are J. Pierpont Nor
gan. John Clanln, Coils P. Hunting
ton and Andrew B. Hammond, the
latter president and promoter Of the
Astoria & Columbia River Railroad
Company. The fact that Hammond is
president Of the salmon Gamers COM
bine is evidence that the Astoria COM
pany means to corral the fishing in
dustry as well as the timber Of the
country near here, and that II is be-
hind the movement to amalgamate all
the salmon fisheries Of the Pacific coast
into one gigantic trust, mention Of
which was made in the Call some time
ago.
That no effort will be made to open
up the Astoria proposition until all the
good things" have been scooped in is
regarded as a certainty, though It is
possible the people may yet force ac-'
ion by popular agitation. Excepting
San Francisco, Astoria is the cheapest
port on the Pacific coast, and the un-
natural condition Of wheat being ex-
ported from Portland cannot long ex-
st.
There is perhaps more money In the
good things" in this section, than there
g in railroadlng, 80, even though the
yanderbilts mean TO come here, It I
you'd pay those interested to hold off
or year. This Is believed to be the
plan The Astoria road is losing from
1900 to $1,000 monthly, yet the off,
'ials absolutely decline to assist the
'eople In getting common point rates,
which would mean an immense increase

THE CONSOLIDATION OF
GREATER CHICAGO IN SIGHT
Proposed Amendments to the Constitu.
tuition Which VIII Consolidate City
With County Governments.


CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-The Times Herald
says: Greater Chicago is In sight Steps
have been taken to secure legislation to
consolidate the city and county govern
ments and abolish the different township
organizations within the city limits
and to accomplish the desired result an
amendment TO the constitution will be
necessary,
President Lombard. OF the Civic FEEDER
alton, has appointed committee to
draft the amendment. The committee Is
made up Of torty-two members, and was
named In accordance with a resolution
adopted by gathering representing all
reform organizations and clubs, which
met several weeks ago. At that meeting
the suggestion to hold a constitutional
convention to revise the basic laws was
rejected and 1t was decided that the
most urgent reform could be best secured
by amendments to the constitution.
The committee is to hold daily sessions
so as to have the constitutional amend
ments ready for presentation to the legls-
lature by February l. BY a two-thirds
vote the legislature can submit the
amendments to a vote of the people at
the general election in November. 1900
The amendments take effect Immediately
after their approval by the electorate
and without further action by the gem
eral assembly:.
The committee win hold its first meet
ing Saturday afternoon and begin the
work assigned to It at once, The char
ters of New York, Boston, Philadelphia
and st. Louis, where the municipal and
county governments are unified, will
be carefully studied by the committee in
drafting the proposed amendments.

And the Secret Of the Behavior Of the
Astorian.

And the Secret OF the Behavior Of the
Astorian.
If the Astorian were honest itself. 1t
would not be suspicious Of the action. OF
others. and wOuid not be SO quick to ac-
cuse its contemporaries, that do not
agree with 1t. Of dishonest motives.
The Astorian accuses newspapers In
the Inland Empire of being in the pay
Of the o. r. & N. Co.. because these
newspapers do not assist Il in making AS
toria common point, on the ground,
manufactured by the Astorian, that 1t
offers superior advantages as a wheat
shipping point. even claiming that char
ters from Astoria are several shinings
per ton cheaper than from Portland
This assertion, In the faee Of the fact
that the difference claimed to exist be-
tween charters would make wheat-ship-
ping from Portland 20 Astoria enor-
mously profitable, and yet there is not a
bushel OF wheat handled between Port
hand and Astoria, Is ridiculous, and can
only be subsrantiated in theory and not
In practice. II there were such a differ
enee between charters at the two ports,
1t would not be a week before Astoria
would be shipping wheat 10 Liverpool,
and the other markets of the old world.
The Astonan. from all appearances, Is
insincere in the matter. and Is simply
endeavoring to make the o. r. 4 n. Co.,
at its own expense remove the barriers
in the way of Astoria becoming a COM
mon point. and is banking upon abuse
and accusation against the newspapers
Of the interior to create capital for its
enterprise.
The newspapers Of the Inland Empire
have no interest in Astoria, other than
what It creates for itself by worthy eff
forts, and are not disposed to enter upon
q work that, II resultful, would greatly
increase land values in Astoria and en-
rich few men who for years have kept
in possession of titles to its soil with
the hope ever uppermost that something
would harpen or somebody would come
along in time and fill their pockets with
unearned increment

BROOKE TO TAKE CHARGE
or EVACUATION AFFAIRS.
All Documents OF the Commission 10 BE
Turned over to Him-Remalning
Dons viii Embark Soon.

NEW YORK. Jan. 5.--A dispatch IN
tbe Tribune from Havana says: General
Brooke called upon the American evac-
uatlon commission at Vedado on Tues
day and consulted with the commission
regarding the matters which Will be
turned over 20 him. These relate 10 mil
itary convlcts. sick Spanish soldiers and
miscellaneous subjects.
Tho documents vii be left with Cen
eral Brooke. and the commission viii
hold final session TO close UP affairs on
Friday. General NJ. c. Butler win start
for Washington on Saturday.
General Ludlow Is proceeding continu-
ously with tho organization OF the civil
administration.
The address OF Gomez received various
comments. Gomez was known 10 oppose
the Cuban celebration. and now his char
acterization Of the island as neither free
nor independent Is interpreted TO mean
that he wants 20 emphasize the tempor-
ary nature Of American control.
American military commanders them
selves have impressed the separate Gu
ban leaders 80 that no controversy can
arise AZ this stage. Corners declaration
that the first duty is to provide for pay
ment OF the lnsurgent soldiers has been
anticipated by news from Washington
and his statement that II is necessary for
the Cuban people to terminate .h4 ln-
tervention In the shortest possible time
ls accepted as a challenge for Cubans
who favor annexation n declare them
selves.
The remaining Spanish troops viii be
embarked from Matanzas and Cienfuegos
within a fortnight. and then Gomez will
come 10 Havana. Reports received from
the interior OF the island indicate the
willingness Of the insurgents to dlsband
II left 10 themselves. The attitude OF the
Spanish classes at this transition period
is carefully watched. They are divided
among themselves and sentiment shifts.
The radical element is forming into an
organization known as The Spanish COL
ony Its members propose to remain
Spanish subjects They counsel acqui-
escence In American control 10 the ex-
tent OF avoiding conflict and disorder,
but their actions are sullen
The bishop OF Havana is president Of
the Spanish colony in Havana. Conserva-
tive Spanlards say he was misled into
accepting the place and that he will
not handicap American rule. He issued a
pastoral letter two months ago coun-
selling acquiescence in the change OF
sovereignty. HIS opponents say he Is
encouraging Spanish resentments. and
Is seeking to embarrass Archbishop
Chappelle.
Navy officers here say little regarding
the Washington report that the navy
resents the failure OF the army command
ers to invite the naval commar-.>-s TO
participate In the ceremonies at the
palace last Sunday. General Butler ia
vored inviting Commander Cromwell and
other officers. General Wade, president
OF the commission. said II did not mat
ter il the navy officers did make fuss.
