THE LABOR FAMINE.

There is a widespread dearth of COM
petent, common laborers on the Pacific
coast. The farms, factories, mills, mines
and railways, are short handed every
where. Even the trades are none too
well supplied with trained men. Wages
are going up all over the land, and the
wilfully idle man is in a class with the
hobo. just where the shortage is going
to land the newly broached enterprises
all over the country, is a mystery. That
the reaction will come is infallible. And
the wisdom of the employer, and the
employed, should be eagerly at work
fore -stalling the conditions of that
hour. 1t is one of those things in which
capital and labor are indissolubly and
co-extensively mixed up; and the
blunder of either falls heavily on the
other. In the moment of prosperity
provide for the day of reversion. It will
come just as surely as the sun shines.
The work of the world must go on;
commerce cannot stand still, and
exigencies like the present, make for
the labor of the alien. The japanese,
the Chinaman, the South Sea islander
the foreigner of any and all sorts, is
impressed, to carry on the imperative
functions Of the work-a-day world.
II may not be right in the sense that
the white man has the first right to the
task of the day and its emolument, but

QUITE COMFORTABLE, THANKS!

The current news, as it drifts over the
Columbia river from the northsnore
communities likely to be invaded by MFR.
Hills new railway line to the mouth Of
that stream, is of a cheerful sort and
indicates an honest belief, over there,
in the genuineness of the enterprise
There is a noticeable readiness on this
side Of the river to take a bit of stock in
the reputed project, and as long as the
confidence lasts, all hands are entitled to
the comfort it brings. We, of Astoria,
have something altogether definite to
engage our especial attention, namely,
the positive assurance of the extension
OF the A. & c. as far south as Tilla-
nook, and within certain time. This
is meat for US, and we are digesting the
unctious morsel with quiet satisfaction.
All things come to them who wait, and
Astoria is, and has been, for many years,
a STAR waiter. Mr.. Hill cannot come
to the Columbia bar without bringing this
city its modicum of largess; this city
cannot be ignored in any scheme involv-
ing the establishment of permanent i'm
Proyement OF any sort, in this vicinity.
The Columbia river basin will contribute
something always, to the city that lies
at its gate, no matter what agency may
direct the movement. We are glad for
the Washingtonians that Hill is COM
ing to develop their share of the dis
trict; we hope it will be something
immense for the whole state on the
north. What we want is to see the
mouth of the Columbia taken into the
commercial calculations and maritime
ventures of the future. We do not care
how far the benefits may extend, nor to
whom they innure; Astoria will get her
share of the increment. Between the
two men who are "doers" of things,
Astoria is going to the front, despite the
influence that turks twelve miles up the
Willamette from its mouth.

THE HOTEL.

Every day that passes over the heads
of Astorians but amplifes the necessity
for first-class hotel in this city. II
is the one thing she has not got. Not
another season must pass with such a
delinquency. The city is growing too
rapidly to longer ignore so palpable an
advantage as an up.to-date hostelrv.
There is wealth enough right at home to
provide this thing, and there is the
amplest sort of return awaiting the in
yestors. The continued absence OF this
essential adjunct to the business life of
Atoria. is injuring her; she is discred-
tied everywhere, as the city without
hotel, The proprietoN and managers OF
such houses as we have are making the
best of the situation and doing all in
their power to keep the local houses at
margin of excellence that win compen-
safe in some measure for the dearth of
the real accessories that the ordinary
travelling public is used, and entitled to;
but il win take something bigger and
better and more modern in the hotel
