RIVER, RAIL AND SEA.

There is not on all the Western coast
a place so happily situated for termi-
nal facilities, as the City Of Astoria;
and now that the giants Of the trans
portation world have announced the
"open sesame" the last and best point
is to be utilized in perfecting its appli-
cation to the commercial exigencies Of
the hour.
Built upon a long peninsula, upon
two fine bays, at the mouths of three
navigable rivers and within IL miles Of
deep blue water, this city Is naturally
equipped as few others are anywhere In
the world and the combination Of river,
rail and sea, is to work marvels in the
early future Of the great Northwest.
With such natural advantages as
are at 1land here, with men and money
to force the utter utility Of each and
all Of them, and the coordinate, we'll
directed, unflagging activity Of the
people next and nearest to the i'm
mense benefits in sight, there is no
reason why Astoria, within the first
decade of the present century, should
not reach a commanding position In
the world Of commerce, second to none
on the coast, from Behring Sea to
San Diego harbor.

JUST AS EXPECTED.

President Roosevelt has answered
fully, explicitly, dignifiedly, the formal
demand made upon him to account for
his estimate of Meyer -Heywood-Pet-
tibone faction, and the answer is in
the public prints OF the world. There
is no temporizing. no juggling with
terms, no harshness; nothing but
Straightforward declaration that fits
the case TO q nicely. He has cleverly
turned the weight Of the plea Of the
eomplainers against themselves and
smashed their hypothesis completely.
The situation has been cleared OF
every particule Of ambiguity and the
federation that has championei the
cause OF the men under indictment in
Idaho, have themselves to thank for
being thrust In hole of their own
digging. They have gone to such
lengths 70 declare the innocence OF the
three men, eefsre trial, as to create
public and tacit belief in their gui.,
and the letter Of President Roosevelt
to Honofe jackson Will not relieve the
ambiguity a little bit. The assumption,
that, simply because these men We're
members of a given federation Of
labor, they were guiltless Of the
charges preferred, has been the tone
and text of the plea set up for them
for months past; and now they will
go into court minus the very quality
they would have possessed had 1t not
been for their fool friends"

el entrance. green house and other ac- cessories will be features of the enter prise which will tend to make the cem- etery one of the most beautiful in the country.
 The company has ample capital to make the cemetery beautiful and en- tirely adequate and this they say they are going to do. The company Is at present constructing cemetery in Mobile. which is said to be meeting with entire satisfaction.
 A few days ago, Mir. Covlngton said: We have determined to give the peo- pie of Montgomery one of the best cemeteries in the country. and while of course this will call for money we are prepared to make the expenditures that will beautify the lands and make the lots into which the land is to be divided entirely satisfactory. The gen. tlemen interested with me in the en- terprise are entirely familiar with all will use their experience gotten from other cities to good advantage in Mont gobery.'
 It Is expected that the landscape gardeners will be at work in the course of the next two weeks setting out trees and shrubbery. Especial attention is to be paid to this feature. and accord singly an early start will be made. While the company has not authorized any such statement. 1t is expected that at least $5o,0o0 will be expended in laying out the lots and beautifying the land, fencing and enclosing the lots and land. No expenses will be spared in making the cemetery an orna- ment to Montgomery.
 The location of the cemetery is a good one, on land that is high and we'll drained About 160 acres are in the plat that whl be turned into cemetery purposes.
 The site is about one-half mile from the city limits. on Highland avenue exension The Montgomery Traction Company will extend its system out to the property for the purpose of fur nishing accommodations. and the street will be we'll graveled for the purpose of travel.
 The city has already provided for the paving of the sidewalks on High land avenue from Afford street to the city limits. and for the institution of gutters, curbings. etc. It is thought that the cemetery will be completed in the course of six months.

TO HAVE NEW CITY OF DEAD Big Stock Company IS
 Formed. CONFERRED WITH MIR. L0BMAN Lay Out Burying Ground on High
 land Avenue. The Much Mooted Question That Has Been PuzzIins City Council For Many Years, Is Probably
 Solved.

The much mooted problem of how Montgomery was to make provision for its dead. in view ot the tact that the present Oakwood cemetery mas long been overcrowded. is probably at last settled. A new cemetery. says Al derman Lobman. Chairman Of the Cemetery Committee of the City Coun- cil, is an assured fact, and already provided for.
 For some time it has been rumored around the streets of Montgomery that the solution for the problem that nas been for quite a while confronting the city fathers could be offered only by a stock company, capitalized to main- tain and operate such an enterprise C. w. Covington. of the Roman Cotton Company, this city, J. T. Schley, of Mo- bile ana C. B. Sims of Chicago, is the coinpany, and the Roman Cotton Com panys land at the extension of High land Avenue, in the eastern section Of tine city, is the site that has been chosen by the capitalists for the loca- tion of the new cemetery.
 For some time past, MT. Covington, as the only local member of the company has been at work securing certain con- sessions and inducements that would render feasible such a construction in this city. Alderman Lobman, acting in cooperation with Mayor Teague, the Cemetery Committee and otner members of the City Council has been at work on a method for having the city purchase such a site for city cemetery, but the plan that has been offered by MT Covington, Is looked up on as by far the best that the city could possibly have offered it, and with this in view. it is looked upon as quite sure that the company will be given en- tire satisfaction if requests are made of the Aldermen.
 But the cemetery is a certainty. The gentlemen interested in the movement have a reputation as cemetery promo ters. The study of how to improve the local conditions at any cemetery has been one which they have thor oughly investigated. and their impress sions on how to conduct a modern. strictly up-to-date and beautiful ceme- terry will be shown in the completed whole.
 The company into which the three gentlemen have organized themselves will be incorporated this week. and as soon as the incorporation papers have been properly delivered work will be begun. Landscape gardeners will be brought to the city as soon as pos ion into lots, and trees. shrubbery and walks will be laid out.
 The company will be operated on the plan known as the perpetual care" which is much in operation in larger cities. The lots will be taken care of by the company perpetually.
 The cemetery. according to the plans of the company, will be built upon what is known as the park plan," hav- ing more the appearance of a beautiful park than that of cemetery. chap
