What Astoria needs is a number OF

are receiving a dividend of 3 per cent
a month, or SO per cent a year on
ten times the original outlay. This
will explain how these vested wrongs
have become vested rights. The sane
tity increases with a rising dividend.
Wausau, Wis, is another bright
spot on the map This city is prac-
tically what is often urged as the
ideal solution of the municipal mon
opolies problem, namely, city owner
ship but private operation. Wausau
owns her own wires, poles and street
lamps and maintains them, but she
buys her current of a private power
house. This plan has resulted in a
reduction of from $50 to $43 light,
total saving to the little city of $3,
200 year.
Six years ago Duluth, Mimi, took
over the water and gas business. The
private owner of the plants had been
50 VIGOROUSLY active in politics that
they called him "Councilman-at-
large" The books of the old COM
pany showed that they spent cor
ruption fund of $4,000 in single
year. Duluth has put a stop to all
that. She has put this company out
of politics by putting it out of busi-
ness. She has already reduced the
rates on both gas and water one-half,
and she has reduced the hours of la
Dor from IL to eight a day More
over, Minnesota cities have home rule.
Duluth has a charter which she made
herself and it prohibits the granting
of any franchises or the issues of any
bonds without the endorsement of the
people at the polls
There is no doubt about it. This
great Northwest is the hope of the
republic.

BURNS COTTAGE TO COME.
Many New Features in View for the
Lewis and Clark Fair.

A meeting will be held tonight at
s o'clock at the Y. NJ. C. A. for the
purpose of discussing and advancing
the proposition for removing the re-
production of the cottage in which
Robert Burns the Scottish bard, was
born, from st. Louis to the Lewis and
Clark fair, says the Oregon Daily
Journal. The meeting will be under
the direction of T. L. johnson, COM
missioner general for Great Britain
and Ireland at the Lewis and Clark
exposition.
The call for tonight's meeting was
signed by Robert Livingstone. Alex
ander II. Birrell and Alexander G.
Brown. A great amount of interest
has been aroused in the proposition,
and it is hoped that all who are in
terested will attend.
Another exhibit of more than his
torical interest that will likely be
brought to the fair is the liberty bell,
the property of the city of Philadel-
phia. Secretary Reed made a formal
request to the state legislature for
the bell, and was informed that II
was the property of Philadelphia,
which would elect a new city council
in April, which would undoubtedly
grant the petition.

Herbert S. Bigelow, pastor of the
Vine Street Congregational church,
Cincinnati, says that Grand Rapids,
Wis, is the best city in the Union.
Speaking fsome of the cities of the
Northwest, Mr.. Bigelow said:
Mr.. Lincoln Steffens tells us that
Rhode Island is the worst state in the
Union. l can tell you the best city
in the Union. 1t is Grand Rapids,
Wis. There may be a saloon or two
there. There may be some gambling
and Sunday ball playing and other
forms of wickedness which are so
heinous to the pharisees. But the
city has a right to hold up her head.
She has cooperative telephone
company. When plans for this en-
terprise were being discussed, the
Bell Telephone company tried to de-
coy the city into its tolls. A bribe
was offered, not to the council, but
to the city itself. The attempt to
corrupt the people was made as in
Rhode Island, but with a different
result.
The Bell company offered every
citizen of Grand Rapids a free tele-
phone for three years If they would
sign the Bell contract and drop the
agitation for a company OF their own.
There was but one man in the city
who accepted the bribe. But for that
one man the city was unanimous in
resenting the bribe and declining the
gift. In this age of corporation DOM
ination, Grand Rapids is a beacon
light Cincinnati and other cities
have their so and 80 year franchises
and franchises that are perpetual.
The little city of Grand Rapids, Wis.
is made of different stuff She has
too much self-respect to submit to
the corporation yoke.
A next door neighbor of Grand
Rapids, by the way, is the home of
some of the favorite investors of the
now famous Usage leases.
A press dispatch says: Secretary
Hitchcock favors extension of leases
over $4,000 acres because of vested
rights that should be protected, al
though the leases were wrong in the
first place"
At Stevens Point, Wis, they will
explain to you Just how very precious
these vested rights are that used to
be wrong.
People living here bought stock in
these leases at 81 a share. II has
been watered nine times, so that for
their one dollar they now have $40.

ROAD UP THE RIVER
LUMBER COMPANY is
FORCED TO BUILD.
Grand Ronde Saw Mills Need Timber
and VIII Tap a Rich Belt by a
Railroad From Hilgard-Log Driv-
ing on the River Is an Uncertain
Proposition Because of Scarcity Of
Water.

Scarcity of logs near the Grand
Ronde river, the long drive from the
summit of the Blue mountains and
uncertainey of water in the river has
forced the Grand Ronde Lumber Co.
of Perry, to undertake the construc-
ton of a narrow gauge railroad from
Hilgard 80 miles toward the summit
of the mountains to the southwark to
tap a rich timber belt.
For 20 years the mills at Perry
have been supplied with logs from
this magnificent belt of timber, but
the hest of the saw timber near the
river has been cut away and the light
er fall of snow in the mountains with
each succeeding year makes the river
driving an uncertain task because of
the scarcity of water at the most
critical season.
1t is now certain that the new
company in charge of the Perry mills
will begin building a road up the
river in hopes of reaching the tim
Der supply for next season. The
drive that will come down the Grand
Ronde this spring will supply the
mills during this season, but the
company will not risk the river drive
for next seasons logs.
The Perry mills cut about 20,000,-
900 feet in the course of eight
months run. 1t Is estimated that g.
900, 100000 feet of lumber has been
cut off. the Blue mountains between
Hilgard and Starkey Prairie, during
the past 10 years, and there are vast
areas of it still standing which the
company Is now endeavoring to reach.
In running railroad UP the Grand
Ronde river a new era in placer min
ing, stock-raising, farming and lum-
bering will be ushered into that dis
trict There are rich tracts of noun
tain land that will produce timothy
in abundance and other hardy pro-
ducts, that will be brought into culti-
walton with better transportation. ia
cilities.
One Of the largest stock ranches in
Eastern Oregon, the Prospect ranch,
is located on the Grand Ronde river
and is owned by the Vey brothers Of
this county. The new road will great
ly increase the value OF this property.

SNOWSLIDES.
they Are Fearful of Speed and &
Magnificent Spectacle.


Magnificent Spectacle.
Snowslides are most frequent on
steep mountains that have a heavy
snowfall. With a billowy train OF
snow dust boiling out behind and over
turning or crushing almost everything
before they make an awful and mag
niflcent spectacle. Their speed is some
times so great that trees alongside are
overturned by the swamping force Of
the air which the slide has violently
disturbed.
There are many well authenticated
instances where miners have been
taught on the surface of a slide and by
dexterous use Of their skees have kept
On top of the engulfing surface Of the
slide and come out uDinjured. John
Muir once rode down from the high
Sierra on snowslide He was swish
ed back down in a minute over a dis
tance that had taken all day to climb.
