WAKING UP AT LAST.

For two wears the Astorian, in al
most every daily edition, has sought
to arOuse Portland to the importanc,
OF looking after the control of the
o. R q n. road. Files of the As
torian show repeated warnings to
the business men of Astoria, Port
land and Oregon that the policy
which controlled the o. K. & \.
was inimical 10 Portland and to
Oregon Long before the last ses-
sion OF the Oregon legislature, the
oregonian was appealed to for help
by the Astorian in procuring such
preliminary legislation as woul d
amount to notice to the railroad
combination that the advantage of
the o. r & Ms water level route
to the sea must be reserved at all
times and under all conditions for
the benefit of Oregon and her sea
ports.
The Oregonian hooted at the ef-
forts of the Astorian. The pur-
poses Of the Astorian were misrepre-
sented and its editor personally viii |
fed for ms earnest endeavors to ]
arouse public sentiment to the
gravity of the situation. The editor
Of the Oregonian knew then as well
as he knows now that the Astoria n
was right, but through some re-
straining influence he was not free
to express his own honest convic-
lions in his paper. Whether the
editor of the Oregonian hoped that
the situation would resolve itself,
through the contemplated changes
n the o. R. & MS ownership and
management more favorably to
Oregon and Portland, or whether
he peculiar policy he pursued in 1
ne face Of the then existing condi- n
ion and the approaching crisis;
Ihich he was in a position to un- '
erstand much better than the Asto- b
ian, was dictated out of other and n
IS honorable considerations, the :, :,
.storian does not know. it
The fact remains, and the whole 5,
northwest will soon be apprised of
by the change which must and
i'll come in the attitude of the t.
that the Astorian was Sc
ght from the beginning and that I'd
e strange course of Portland's -,
lper has cost the producers and an
of Oregon millions of
'llars and afforded the commercial IN
Iemies and rivals of Oregon the
quired opportunity to mature bel
cir plans and set up combinations

erthrow. org

AID CAME PROMPTLY.
The DcstitutiOn of II Worthy Family
Quickly Relieved.

A sad case of restitution came to light
yesterday Deputy High Constable Inger-
soil went to residence No. 1896 Venable
street yesterday morning to execute u
writ of ejectment. He did not do so.
Mr.. Ingersoll found that the head Of
the house was i'll in bed, and that the
mans wife, weak and sick from hunger,
was doing all a mortal could do To pre-
vent starvation. Several weak and half
starved children lay around the house.
He informed Captain W. =. WhitlOck
of the First Police District. Of the sad
affair. The big-hearted police captain
collected 50 or 81 from friends and went
10 the house and bought provisions
enough 10 relieve the immediate wants
OF the family. Later in the day the story
OF restitution came TO the ears OF the
officers OF the Citizens Relief Association.
They acted with the utmost promptness
Captain WhitlOck was communicated
with. and it was ascertained what he had
done. Then the gentlemen 'phoned TO a
grocery store 10 send provisions, to a coal
and wood merchant TO send fuel, and also
to one of the lady managers of the assoc
citation who resides on Church Hill, asking
her TO go to the house and See what the
