AST0RIAN's FIGHT.

The Portland 0regonian, and all its
up-river pets in the newspaper line, may
make up their minds to the fact that the
Morning Astorian knows its exact atti-
tude in the fight it is putting up for the
Columbia River bar improvement, and
does not need any coaching to amplify
its thorough understanding Of the real
and pretended position of the great daily
at the metropolis, on this question.
The miserable pretense that Portland
is in favor of forty-foot channel across
that bar don't pass muster in city and
county that have been waiting for half
century for the unbottling of the
greatest river in the Northwest. the
broadcast. grandest artery that any State,
or set of states in the Union ever boast
ed as accessory to commerce. We are
not satisfied with the husks of achieve
ment wrought in the year past; we know
we are entitled to more; we know that
the millions spent on the upper river
should have been applied to the primal,
pivotal, all-essential task of creating a
permanent channel at the mouth of the
Columbia before anything was done to
mend the inland channels; and this, not
for our particular good, but for the
good of the whole State, The Dalles, and
its Otimist, included. We know that
these mid-state improvements were made
for the direct and sole benefit of Port
land, and we do not blame Portland for
engineering them and reaping all the
good she could from them, but we are
not idiotic enough to believe, for mo-
ment, that if Portland's alleged inter-
est in the bar had always been what
she declares it, we would be waiting for
results all these years.
Had her people nothing to fear from
a deep, broad and lasting channel over
this bar, it would have been there all |
the time for the past twenty-five years.
And had it been there this city would !
have had the common point rate on
grain stuffs, another deprivation for
which she has Portland to thank, since
that city would rather see every bushel
of Oregon grain sent abroad from the
Puget Sound docks at an advanced cost,
rather than come to this port at the
lesser rate. p" ",4~-a.- -
We are here, close to the seat of this
controversy; we are earnest and honest
in our claim for what is logically due us,
and is kept from us only because of
Portland's corporate and commercial
greed, backed by the fear that things
might SO shape themselves at this end
of the river as to interfere with her
shipping.
If we had what is rightfully ours, The
Dalles itself, and its tributary country,
would be the gamer by half million
dollars year that the 0. R. & N.
now takes from the pockets of the East
Oregonians on wheat alone; and apropos
Of this, the Astorian begs to advise the
Optimist that this fight is none Of It's
business, however much its sycophantic
devotion to the oregonian may prompt
It to 'but in;' we know what we want,
and we are going after it, and we do
not appreciate the gratuitous meddling
Of any sheet in the State, especially one
that has simply to echo the "man in the
tall tower' for want Of anything orig J,

A new idea in stealing was reported
to the Kansas City prosecuting attor-
ney one day this week. A woman gave
her feather beds to cleaner, weighing
the feathers before and after, and found
that they came home thirty pounds
short. 1t is not possible that there
could have been thirty pounds Of dirt
in them, so she claimed that that amount
was stolen.

When one contemplates the number of
young men who go about with their
hair parted in the middle or hanging
fiercely over their foreheads 50 as to
obscure all traces Of intellect, and 50
many young women with hair worn
frizzly-frowsly and Topping about in
fifty different directions, we are some-
what disgusted and are not surprised
that the followers of Darwin hold to
the belief that mankind descended from
the monkey tribe.

The latest belt idea for linen gowns
is one made of Scotch plaid, the colors
So skilfully crossed and combined that
there is no tendency to make the waist
look large. Soft wide silk is used to
make them of, although few are of
patent leather. Blue and green effects
are best liked. An occasional woman
wears plaid stockings to match with pat
ent leather pumps.

Seventeen big breweries have organ
lied trust. Their plants turn out
annually 100000 barrels of beer. Beer
drinkers can bust it if they will by
calling for the product of independent
concerns, but the best course to pursue
is to drink no beer. No drink, no buy,
no sales, break up of the trust or finan-
cial ruin.
