nee depends upon accuracy and eff
cincy. Conforming to this suggestion
a law was enacted at the last session
OF the legislature providing that one of
the appraisers should be selected from
the states best cruisers. This law
guarantees to the people of the state
that each piece or parcel of land has
been thoroughly examined by the ap-
praisers, as the law all along has con-
templated, and in consequence of it's
enactment large sums of money have
been saved to the state.
Mr.. Cole was a member of subcom-
'mittee of the house which drafted a
bill which is now a law, which pro-
vides that stealing Of timber from state
land shall never outlaw and also pro-
vides for reward, not to exceed 5000,
to be paid to any person furnishing
evidence leading to the conviction of
any one found guilty of stealing stand
ing timber from state lands. Not in
twenty years and perhaps not in the
history of legislation of the state, has
any person introduced so many bills or
aided in the enactment of so many

Personal Characteristics.

Personal Characteristics.
Mr.. Coles tastes and habits are SIM
pie. Outside of the business he is a
domestic man, and home is where he
spends his evenings as far as his bust
| ness will let him.
"a. L. Cole is all for business" is
the epitOme furnished by one friend
after another. His life is business.
His amusement is hard work. His di-
version is chasing from one place Of
business to another.
Only in the last year or two, as his
circumstances became easier, he has
learned to give a little time to play
and get diversion otherwise than in
his business pursuits. At Walker he
has his summer cottage on bank
overlooking Cass lake and he is, actu-
ally learning the last two years to loaf
There also he has gasoline launch,
the only plaything he was ever known
to keep. Having his summer cottage
and launch he gets good deal OF fun
out of them.
The Cole Family.
Mr.. Cole is married and has one
child, a daughter. His wife is at once
his companion and partner-silent
partner-in the firm of A. l.. Cole &
Co. She came with him from ST Law
renee county, New York, twenty-five
years ago, and shared with him, with
a woman's fortitude and courage, the
life of what was then the remote West.
Sensible, practical, domestic, he owes
not a little of his success in business
to her companionship. Mrs Cole be-
sides has a grace and quiet dignity
which would carry her through any
situation.
Miss Fay Cole-a bright, vivacious
girl, who finished her course at Ham
line two years ago and has studied
art since then, completes the house
hold.
A Typical Westerner.
For the rest. Mr.. Cole is genial and
courteous gentleman, at once easily ap-
preached and companionable, dignified
and self-poised. He is the kind of a
man who lays down a course for him
self and follows it consistently. He
provokes no antagonists. AS govern
or he will be the real head of the state
administration and will conduct it in
business-like and systematic fashion,
giving all of his energies to the service
of the state and to carrying out the
| policies to which the Republican party
is pledged.
Mr.. Cole IS, indeed, in most respects
| typical of those pushing. energetic and
resourceful Americans, who, coming
West to grow up with the country,
with small capital, besides brain and

should, nor doing nearly as well as
the Iowa farmers, for they were get
ting on an average a $3.50 more per
acre income than the Minnesota farm
ers. If he had told the truth, he
would have said that the railroads col
lected in excessive freight rates $1.50
more per acre for the rates on Min
nesota roads are from 20 to 60 per
cent higher than in Iowa.
"There has recently been good
deal of by-play by certain individuals
on grain rate.
"A few days ago the warehouse COM
mission gave the railroads twenty
days notice to reduce rates. The rail-
roads came out the next day and re-
duced the rates voluntarily, but they
would never have given one dollar of
reduction unless they had seen that
the people were becoming aroused.
The present government cannot claim
any credit for this, nor the commits
sion either, neither one of them tore
their shirts loose to have the reduc-
ton made. For governor to ask
reelection on his work on that ques-
ton requires considerable cheek.
"Mr. Cole won his nomination as
fairly and squarely as any man ever
did. We want to punish the railroads
and tax dodgers, but do you think we
are going to do it by voting for John
son? AS for me, | am going to vote
for Cole because he is going to try
and give you better freight rates and
tax laws than we ever had before.
To be popular governor one wants
to leave things alone, that is, as far
as the interests" are concerned.
Johnson commenced two years ago,
and has been doing so ever since"

INCAPABLE OF FAIRNESS.

No newspaper owned by a corporation
having private interests to serve at
the expense Of the general public, and
conducted TO promote corporation ends
can be success, because it cannot
print the news fairly and fully; can
not stand for the interests of the public
when they clash with the designs of or
ganized capital; cannot treat public
questions from distinterested stand
point. The corporation organ is mere
.ly the mouthpiece of private greed; it
is simply one Of the agencies employed
to promote corporation schemes, tout
for corporate interests. It is folly to

ASTORIA WATER COMMISSION.

The Morning Astorian desires to 60
on record at once and in the most un-
derstandable way as against any tam
pering whatever with the status OF the
Astoria Water Commission.
In the first place there Is no call for
any interference with the situation as
1t stands. The commission is In the
hands of men of conspicuous and ac-
ceptable standing in this community;
they meet with regularity and uHaa-
unity; they keep the affairs of the
commission entirely up to date, AM IN
a shape that is wholly commendable,
and satisfactory to the public they
serve; they are doing the best possi-
bic for the interests of the city in all
matters of finance and service; their
work is done openly, publicly and is
fully and accurately reported to the
citizens; there is no "star- chamber ell
ement about it and what they have done
to date has received the uniform en-
dorsement of the people of all shades
of political opinion.
ANY, attempt to change the status, or
personnel of the commission, in the
palpable absence of all cause for such
change, viii be promptly construed as
an effort to warp the office and its
business into city politics and this will
be resented by every honest house and
property holder in the community.
There viii be, and is, no other reason
able conclusion to be entertained, and
it will be fought to the last ditch by
every Astorian who has the good, the
safety, of the city and its affairs, at
heart.
1t is, happily, necessary to submit
this matter to the people at the COM
ing primaries, and there can be no
doubt of the issue there, if we know
anything Of prevalent and popular opin-
ion on the subject; and if, by any mis-
chance or Jugglery it passes the initial
vote here, those responsible for the mo-
mentary success will find the end Of
the issue only in the supreme court
of the state.
1t is the one wholesome and thor
oughly satisfactory element of the ad-
ministration Of public affairs in the
City of Astoria, and it's denaturaliza-
tion into a potent and nasty political
agency will be strenuously and bitter
ly opposed and with abounding success
in the end.
