sCRAP-DAY IN CONGRESS.

Thursday last was "serap-day" in
Congress.
There is always one day OF the ses-
sion given over to snarls and rows and
fisticuffs and the general expression OF
the normal man. 1t seems to be rulable
at Washington and is always looked for
by the country.
We imagine the current session is to
be marked with a good deal OF asperity,
however it may assert itself, as there
is an abundance of contentious matter
to serve as predicate for uproars and
vicious contact. It is presidential year.
and that alone invariably contributes
plenty Of room and cause for political
set.to., knockingdown and draggingout

sent up there TO maintain our sectional

But, all things consid&ed, this il
Infinitely better than the line OF re
course had over in Germany and France
where such encounters do not end oi
the floors of the parliaments, but ar
carried to the outer fields of honor,
where the gun and pistol take con
spicuous lace in the final arbitrament
and sometimes with really serious re
suits. Such a course here would fur

600 VICTIMS PER MONTH.

Old Mother Nature is taking it out
on the people who are invading her hid
den realms in Western Pennsylvania
and Virginia these days, as within the
past month she has killed 600 miners in
that territory by gases and fre-damp.
These records read bitterly to the people
all over the country, and particularly
lust at this season of universal happi'
ness and good will. Yet in any guise,
at any time, wholesale sacrifice of human
life is the saddest of all news. We be-

ASTORIA, D. G, W. l., S. h.

We are quietly, yet strenuously' IN
sisting that the interested citizen OF
this great Northwest section shall in
struct himself aptly and fully IN the
significance OF the title-line above set
forth. in other that he may be con-
scious Of one OF the living commercial
facts soon to merge itself in the web OF
the transportation problems now to the
fore; anu govern himself in ac-
cordance with the real meaning and
subsequent development of the supreme
advantage this city stands for.
The acquisition of the initials follow
ing the name of Astoria is perfectly
just and applicable. since they stand Tor
the positive and proven facts that this
port is at the seaboard end OF the down
grade, water-level. SH0RT-HAUL for
the grain Of the Inland Empire. or any
other exportable commodity that may
be sent this way en- route to coast-wise
or foreign destination.
For example: The railroad haul to
Astoria is less than to any Puget Sound
port, via the o. R. s n. or the North
Bank road taking Seattle as basis.
From Spokane the distance to Astoria
is SIS miles the shorter haul by the
O. R. & n; and by the North Bank
line, 81 miles the shorter. t
From Lewiston, via the y. R. & n.
the haul to Astoria is s5 miles the
shortest; and via the North Bank 81
miles again serves to mark the ad-
vantage.
From Wallula to this port, via the 0. R
& n. the haul is s5 miles the shortest;
and over the North Bank tracks, it is 93
miles in favor Of Astoria.
And from Kennewick here, over the
North Bank route. the distance Is u
miles to the good; using always the
port of Seattle as basis in the calcu
lations.
Upon the same plane, it must bt
remembered that this port is just l3'
miles nearer to the great open sea, thai
is Seattle, since its inner or Easter
boundry, is but Is miles from deep
water.
Let these figures sink into your cur
rent scheme of facts, such as you US
daily in the expediting Of your business
and sometime during the year 1908 W
will recall them to your consideration a
having an expressed utility in activ
and compensating use.
There is no use disputing these con
cluions; figures do not lie even at tn
behest Of prejudice: They have lon
