Mr.. Borthwioks death is a genuine
loss to the lower Columbia river He
was a man of remarkable activity and
his business enterprise knew no bounds
He came to Astoria with a branch Of
his mill and, in spite Of the distance
from his operating plant. soon had a
practical monopoly Of the retail trade.
His lumber venture in this city was
followed by the establishment Of a
wood depot from which the town today
draws perhaps its largest fuel supply.
He was a man of the most stalwart
integrity and it is said he never Sc
cured a customer whose patronage af-
terwards was lost through any dis
satisfaction with the quality of the
commodity sold him or out OF mlsun-
derstanding about the price. Oregon
has too few citizens OF the mold Of
Mr.. Porthwick. and with the posses
sion OF half dozen men Of like courage
and energy the development Of Clatsop
eounty's latent resources and the future
OF Astoria would be easily assured. In
his private as well as in his business
relations Mr.. Borthwick was unlver-
sally respected. and he will be missed
more by none, even in his intimate do
nestle circle, than by the men who
sustained the relation to his various
business enterprise OF humble daily
wage earners.

THE BITTER BITTEN.

A few close readers Of the Oregonian
may have noticed some days ago, in
an obscure corner, and on an exceed
ingly unprinter-lilSe made-up page Of
that paper, a strong presentation Of the
facts and logic Of the Astoria prop
esition. with ain earnest and dignifed
appeal to the editor for aid in the dis
eussioh OF Astoria's rightful claims to
equal consideration at the hands Of
the railroad combination with the more
distant and inaccessible ports on Puget
sound in the matter Of deep-water ter
minal rates. The writer of the COM
munication, for It is a regularly dated
and addressed letter to that paper, is
supposed to be Mr.. L. B. Seeley, one Of
Portland's foremost business men, and
an Acknowledged authority on all ques-
tons pertaining to water and rail
transportation. Mr. seeley's letter not
only plainly demonstrated Astoria's $
value to the farmer as the true sea
port of the Columbian basin, in the
greater profits which might be realized
On his products by laying them down
right at the seacoast, where cheaper
charters prevail, but the vital import
ance to all Oregon Of meeting Puget
sound competition in the Asiatic trade
with the deeper water, greater proxim-
fly to open ocean and substantial near
ness to market afforded by Astoria was
fully brought out and explained.
Aside from printing and covering up
Mr. seeley's letter as best it could in it's
columns, the Oregonian paid no other
attention to his timely suggestions
Several days after the letters publica-
ton, however, It was found in some
mysterious manner by the Tacoma
Ledger (probably through a marked
copy Of the Portland paper, sent by
some representative Of the Sound in
Portland), and an editorial article ap-
peared in the Ledger in which some Of

TOWNSEND LETTER

Though the pessimistic tone of the cor
respondents during the last few days had
somewhat prepared the people for the
worst yet the actual news from Rennes of
the Dreyfus verdict Of guilty came like a
thunder clap to Townsend early Sunday
morning. To say that sorrow and disap-
pointment prevailed would be utterly in
adequate. The feeling aroused was really
Of mingled anger and disgust. The news of
the verdict spread like wildfre through the
town banishing every other topic even the
Teansvaal and it was possible to hear men
talk of France and Frenchmen in terms not
heard before in modern times. It seemed
as though the old hatred of France which
had long been dead and buried fared up at
once. This is probably passing effect but
the coolest and most impartial residents of
Townsend are confident that the affair will
now more than ever prove an awful blow
to the unhappy republic.
The cannery still has its rush" of toma-
toes there being an immense stock of the
fruit on the grounds at this writing. Over
1000 baskets were in the yard on Wednes-
day and everything about the local industry
is "humming" these days. About 10000
cans Of tomatoes is the output Of each days
run.
The members of the Junior Epworth
League will open an odd curiosity shop on
Thursday and Friday evenings, Sept. 21st
and 22d, in the room over Thomas Latto-
mus's store. An admission of cents will
be charged and the "lend-a-hand" commit
tee will be prepared to serve pie, cake. milk
and coffee.

character who prefers woman's apparel to

tinue to improve now that the weather is
