HON E FIRST.

The editor Of the Jewell (Kan) Pc
publican says: We would like to see
one Kansas county settled entirely by
mail order people, and see what would
happen. The stores would stand ii "a
long as they could and then move
away. Banks would close their doors
The newspapers would quit. The ho'
tells would go out of business" Etc.
Well. let us consider. Mail order peo-
pie don't act as though they had much
sense, but they would never live IN a
county like that. They are the very
ones who expect the most at home.
The editor ends the item with IL"
sentence: who would buy a farm SO
located that he couldn't drive to soEe
sort Of a town? A sane man wouldn't
take such land q; half price. Be Il
friend to your home town and 1t Will

torian is going to be cheerful about
it, too. We do not desire TO dispar-
age nor discount any blessings that
NAV be headed this way, and are dis
posed to fall right In line with the
courageous and hopeful and sanguine
and to take over the promise of the
case and nourish it to the last ex-
preston of its fruition.
Mr.. Hill is coming down the no.th-
bank of the Columbia. He is going
TO establish terminal facilities and
rates for that point of departure for
trans oceanic cargoes. BY the alleged
sale of the A. & c. Railway. already
down the south bank, there is, at hand
a parallel establishment of the same
valuable conditions Of commerce and
this means an immense deal for AS
toria. while it means at the same time
that Astoria has much to do for her
self and cannot lie supinely back and
wait for some great master Of COM
merce to do it all. If we are to have
mills and docks and terminal facili-
ties and the common-rate on grain
and all the innuring advantages con-
sequent upon meeting the competitive
tactics of Mr.. Hill, Astoria must ge'
in right away and do her part in con-
serving the immense business that Ii
morally certain TO head in here.
She'll do it, too. Already her pe2
