THAT FoRTY-F0oT BAR.

The 0regonian answered our ques-
tion all right, but, as usual. added a
few afrillss:
@The labor Of opening up the Colum-
bia River, and keeping it open, has
been done chiefly by Portland, through
work in Congress by members Of the
delegation from this city; by the ex-
penditure Of large sums of its own
money, and by constant vigilance and
ceaseless effort of every kind.
Portland has done much from its
own means for the Columbia. What
has Astoria done?.
Astoria citizens claim the credit for
initiating the improvement of the Co.
lumbia River Bar, and they have la
bored, in season and out of season, for
the advancement of that improvement.
Thanks to the untiring efforts Of the
delegation in Congress of the State of
Oregon, not of Portland, John H.
Mitchell, ]. N. Dolph, and last; though
not least, Binger Hermann, than which
no more able and influential delegation
ever was sent to Washington from any
other State of the Union, large appro-
priations were secured from the United
States government for the work of i'm
provement. Portland has spent no
money on the Columbia River Bar.
Astoria by constant vigilance and
ceaseless effort of every kind" has aided
in that improvement and will continue
to do so, realizing that the deepening
of the Columbia River Bar is vital
to the commerce of the whole State
of Oregon, and not for the benefit of
any one particular locality.
Portland deserves credit for the
money she has spent in deepening the
river channel from Astoria to Portland,
and deserves more credit in having been
able to secure money appropriations
from the United States government to
help her do so. 'Tt is vital to the city's
commerce" as you seem to think.
1t is not vital to the commerce of
the State of Oregon, neither is it to
Portland as a great commercial city,
which she is now, and always will be.
She would be great commercial city,
even if the Columbia River was to fill
up and run over, between here and As
toria. Nature has SO ordained it, and
her unrivalled location would make her
so. As a seaport, however, Portland
is not in the same class as San Fran
cisco or Puget Sound; and never will
be in their class. She is slowly but
surely losing her deepwater export
business to her rivals on Puget Sound,
and San Francisco, Notwithstanding
the able and interesting editorials of
the "Oregonian," few years ago, by
which she proved to her satisfaction
that Puget Sound could never compete
with Portland for the oversee export
business comment Oh those editorials
would be superhuous and irritating

insurance Agents Are spunky.

An important meeting of the East
ern Panhandle Underwriters Associa-
ton was held in Martinsburg last
Thursday, when all the fire insurance
agents of this section resigned from
the board. This action came as re-.
suit of circular recently sent out by
the middle department at Philadel'
phia, which controls this territory,
which circular notified the insurance
agents Of general increase in rates
of from 10 TO 25 per cent. The agents
sent a committee, composed of Richard
Alexander, Fl. S. Thompson, Harrison
Schley and I. o. Dawson, to Phil
adelphia, to protest against the IN
crease in rates, and the failure of the
insurance companies to give the com.
mittee any satisfaction resulted in the
meeting in Martinsburg on Thursday.
An Independent board was organized
by the agents ofthe eastern panhandle,
and the fire insurance companies who
agree to take the business at the rates
which prevailed prior to the circular
will be retained by the agents.
Those who attended the meeting were
Harry S. Thompson, Il. L. Alexan-
der, P. R. Harrison, J. Roy MAIDEN
bousch, of Martinsburg; Washington
and Alexander. Moore and Moore, A.
G. Wynkoop. ]. F. Gallaher, Of Charles
Town; Harrison Schley, F. L. Weltz-
heimer, of Shepherdstown Joseph A.
Saltenstall, Dawson and Son, A. j..
Johnson, of Berkeley Springs,
We commend the agents for the
stand they have taken to protect their
patrons from an advance in rates. and
hope that they may secure sufficient
good companies to take care of all
risks.

A Murderer Walled Up Alive.

A dispatch from Tangier to Lon
don news agency says: According to
advices from Marakesh, the Cobbler
Mesfewi, who had been convicted of
the murder of SO women, whose bodies
were found buried under his shop and
in his garden, has expiated his crime.
Instead of being crucifed, as had
been intended, at the last moment it
was ordered that he be walled up
alive. Previous to the final act in
the tragedy Mesfewi was subjected to
daily hoggings. While the masons
were working they were surrounded
by mob, who ieered Mesfewi. The
first two days of his entombment the
cobbler screamed continuously, but the
third day the living tomb gave forth
no sound. 1t is presumed the muir
derer died of exhaustion.

Great excitement was caused in
Philadelphia the past week by the alb.
duction of Fred Muth, nine-year-old
boy. He was enticed away from
school Tuesday, of last week, and
was not found until Monday of this
week, when he was restored to his dis
tressed parents. His abductor, who
was captured, was former stock bro
ker named John Joseph Kean, who
stole the boy in order that he might
induce his parents to give large su m
for the return of their son. He had
kept the child in vacant house. The
abductor met with swift and certain
retribution. The day after he was
arrested he was arraigned in court,
tried, convicted and sentenced to
twenty years in the penitentiary. He
is now serving his sentence.

She Was Scared of the Cars.

Her first trip on railroad train SO
frightened 70-year-old Mrs. Charles
Skinner, wife of a farmer living
near Benton, Columbia, county, Pa,
that she was overcome with fear, and
the train had to be stopped. Her
son, after much persuasion, had in
duced her to go to Danville to visit
relatives, and they boarded the train
at Benton station. She had seen a
train before, but had never ridden in
one. No sooner had it started than
she screamed with fright, and as the
noise and the motion of the train in
creased and the scenery began to rush
past she became frantic with fear, and
implored the son to stop the train.
Fearing that she would die of fright,
he had the train stopped, and they
alighted after it had gone half mile,
