A. & c. EXTENSION.
Government Said to Be Interested in
the Proposition.

The much. talked-of extension of the
Astoria & Columbia River railroad to
the Necanicum timber belt has brought
Gu. story to the effect that the gov
ernment will indirectly assist in the
payment Of the construction expenses.
4 prominent member of the state Iegis-
lature of 1898 and 1896 is responsible
tor the tale.
"Ihe government" the ex-lawmaker
says, has promised President Ham
:nond, of the Astoria & Columbia River
lme. that if he will extend the road
nine miles 10 the Necanicum stone
quarry, it will take $4,000 carloads Of
rock for the Columbia river jetty pay
ing $l2 per carload for the haul. This
would practically pay the building ex-
penses. Besides, the timber owned by
Mr. Hammond will warrant the exten-
slon From the Necanicum to the coal
fields is only a short distance. and
from there to Tillamook Is only twenty
two miles. With rail communication,
rilamook timber can be bought at
Si.5O per 1000 feet. Portland mills are
now paying 81 per 100 feet. Mr.. Ham
mnnd has a mill with capacity Of
10000 feet and he needs logs himself,

OUR NEW POSSESSIONS.
VIII Be Well Represented at the Pan
American Exposition.

The United States government is max
ing arrangements properly to represent
Cuba. Porto Rico. the Philippines. Ha-
wall, Guam and Tutuila at the Pan
American exposition, Most Of US have
had very little opportunity to study
the resources and needs Of these places.
The exposition will offer the first op-
portunity To make their acquaintance
under favorable auspices. A building
is in course OF construction which forms
one of the triangular groups arranged
bv the government. This building is $50
feet square. tastefully decorated in
keeping with the general plan Of the
exposition. The idea of grouping these
new possessions by themselves is an
effective one and the general public will
naturally associate the different pos
sessions as being historically connected.
These possessions broaden our lati-
tude by adding the tropical and semi
tropical regions. 1t seems proper now
that we should set about their syste-
matte development. Tea, coffee and
spices may be grown in these countries
in abundance. Cocoanut copra may be
manufactured into oil on the ground
where the fruit is grown instead of
being shipped to France, as has been
the custom for hundred years. Ma
Mia and other fibres may be improved,
and their cultivation materially extend
ed. The first thing for the sovereign
people of the United States to do is
to study the question. This may be
followed by careful, systematic i'm
provements that will be suggested in
the many directions that will be sug-
gested. The Pan-American exposition,
by this extensive exhibit, will start the
bali rolling. There seems little doubt
that the momentum thus gained will be
followed up to the advantage OF every
country in the group.

CHARTER AMENDMENTS.

ASTORIA. Feb. 6. 1901.--Editor Asto-
rian: History repeats itself again in
Astoria. About 20 years ago the city
council. wishing more power as well as
more money. sent a committee TO Sa-
lem TO fix the charter TO suit The
charter was duly doctored to the coun-
cirs satisfaction, but when the commit
tee returned and wanted pay for SER
vices some obstreperous individual had
stepped in and enjoined payment, and
the injunction still stands against that
bill. We don't insinuate that the COM
mittee now off for Salem are to be
paid.
The fight Is on. The Tax League,
Numbering 400, against nine councilmen.
Charter amendments from both bodies
are in Salem for adoption. Those from
the Tax League to prevent further in

A Surprising SURPLUS.

Treasury operations under the Tax Reduction
act Of March =, 1901, continue 10 show results
which are little short Of paradOxical On July
the American taxpayer saw drop from his
shoulders generous share of the special bur
dens imposed three years before to meet the
cost OF the war with Spain. Many internal
taxes were diminished. others were remitted
entirely. and the Treasury surrendered at one
stroke an annual income of from s40OO0O00 TO
s45.0O0,0OO. The surplus for the fiscal year end
ed June 80. 1900 had mounted 10 S79.J27. .06O,
while that for the year ended June 80, 1901.
had shown the slightly smaller balance of s75,-

a cut in the governments revenues of from s40,-

In a gradual dimnution Of income and net

s30.ooo.ooo-set by Congress as a comfortable
margin Of safety against unexpected drains on
the Treasury's resources
Yet the statement of receipts and expendi-
lures for the first two months of the new fiscal
year fails wholly 10 confirm the expectations of
the trainers OF the Tax Reduction act fore

tons.
The surplus for July under the amended tax
law was $4,000: for August II was s6,642. .62S
Neither month had been counted OF to show
favorable balance between receipts and expendi-
lures; for under the higher tax rates of the
emergency law the net deficit last year for July
and August was s4s00000 An extraordinary
gain OF over sll,0000O0 has therefore been
effected in the first two months of the reduc-
