The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1899-04-16

The outrageous attacks OF Portland
papers upon Mr. Hammond for propOs-
ing to establish another transportation
+. line between that city and san Francisco
are unparalleled in all history. Every
argument that can be invented by o. R.
& n. employees is cited as evidence that
the new steamer line cannot be made 10
pay. Ordinarily when capitalists offer
to invest money in a state or community
they hnd ready and hearty welcome.
This is particularly the case with those
who undertake to Increase the transpor-
tation facilities. Hammond is the only
man who has brought dollar OF outside
capital into oregon for investment in
five years. and vet his enterprises have
been ridiculed and misrepresented by tn
Portland papers from the beginning. and
the man his.self openly viIifed. Such
spectacle would not be tolerated in
decent community, and 1t serves to H.
lustrate the character Of Portland bust
ness men and advertise that town /
throughout the country as place where
enterprise IS not appreciated and foreign
investments would not be safe The
very shame of the presence Of such a
class Of newspapers in any other white
community would incite riot and might
lead to the lynchlng Of the miscreants
who run them. The disgrace OF such a
proceedings will be felt and resented by
every honest man in Oregon.

the highest pitch From leading ex-
change We have taken some statistics OF
the treasury department showing that
the business OF Puget sound has in
creased more rapidly in the pas, three
years that any other district on the
Pacific coast. Such statistics as these
are never published in the orcgonian.
The sole effort Of the mereenaries who
control It's local columns Is bent to the
end Of dseelylng instead OF enlightening
Its readers. There can be no doubt what
ever that II The people Of Portland could
be shown the truth as to their CONNER
cial predicamen,. nothing-not even the
influence OF all the local writers on the
oregonian-would suffice to restrain the
uprising OF all classes in their own de-
fense and a taking OF the situation in
hand for themselves.
These statistics go to show that the
Puget sound district has gained in i'm
ports and exports during the past three
years from imports of s3sS7.72s TO 500
Osi and in exports from ssOi5,5e4 to SO
1881. a total increase OF s. Go, the
increase in imports being much larger in

SOME GOVERNMENT STATISTICS.

No one IN Portland will pretend that
city IS greater seaport than San Fran.
cisco. but very many people have been
hoodwinked by statements systematically
appearing in the local columns OF the
oregonian into believing that the shipping
interests Of the Northwest are steadily
concentrating on Portland 1t seems IN
credible that any intelligent person could
be imposed upon in this manner, bu;
when 1t is reflected that no other paper
than the oregonian Is read in Portland
such lack Of information is not unac-
countable
The Astorian has repeatedly given the
editor Of the Oregonan credit for
having better sense. He thoroughly un-
derstands the commercial situation Of
the Northwest. and HE KNOWS THAT
PORTLAND is LOSING GROUND
EVERY DAY IN THE CONTEST FOR
COMMERCIAL SUPREMACY, AND
THAT WITHOUT BETTER SEAPORT
FACILITIES. SUCH AS CAN ONLY
BE REALIZED THROUGH THE DE.
vELoPMENT OF ASTORIA. PORT
LAND WILL IN FIVE YEARS EN-
TIRELY CEASE TO FIGURE IN THE
GOVERNMENT STATISTICS AS AN
IMPORTING POINT. The editor Of the
oregonian also knows that, with the ex-
ception Of the wheat which finds It's
way down a water level railroad and
goes out in grain or in the form Of -four
on the few sailing vessels that the o. r.
& n Company succeeds in dragging up
the 40 miles of river to her wharyes.
PORTLAND HAS ABSOLUTELY NO
EXPORTS WHATEVER.
The gravity of the situation is so well
realized by the editor of the Ore
gouian that in spite Of the vigilance of
the men who control the policy of his
paper. he now and then breaks forth
in stirring blast like his Matter of
Choice editorial which, in any COM
munity not mOnOpoly-cursed like Port

The Work OF Earth Worms.
GAN FRANCISCO. CAL

Darwin estimated that worms, by
swallowing earth for the sake of the
vegetable matter it contains and form
ing castings, bring to the surface as
much as ten tons of earth per annum
on an acre. Worms are great promot-
ers of vegetation by boring perforat-
ing. and loosening the soil, and rem
dering it pervious to rains and the
fibres of plants, by drawing straws and
stalks of leaves and twigs into 1t, and,
most of ALL by throwing up such in
finite numbers OF Jumps of earth called
worm casts, which form fine manure
for grain and grass. The earth with
out worms would soon become cold,
hard bound, void of fermentation, and
consequently sterile; this has occurred
in MANY cases where. the worms have
been either accidentally or Intention
aIlv destroyed, and the fertility OF the
soil thus lost has only been restored
when the worms had again collected
and resumed their fertilizing work.
