The Astoria Chamber Of Commerce
and the County Court Of Clatsop have
taken up their share Of the project with
spirit and zest and will stand pat to

unique and attractive plan. Everybody
who has given it any thought at ~. is
eager to see it carried through, not only
for the distinct advantages that it will
confer locally, but because It will be an
Oregon institution that cannot escape

Automobiling is to be the prime sport
Of the century and the roads TO be pro-

best that can be builded. And this means

THE COLUMBIA IS FREE.

Owing to intelligent and unceasing
care Of the port health authorities at
Astoria and Portland, the bubonic
plague has been kept out of the Column
bia valley, though it has crept into San
Francisco and the cities on Puget
Sound.
This speaks well for the vigilance Of
the authorities here charged with the
duty Of heading off these dangerous and
unwelcome things and contributes noS .
little to the credit Of the district and
the ports liable to attack.
One feature of value, in this behalf,
peculiar To this port and harbor. Is,
that no vessel can more than merely en-
ter the mouth of the Columbia before
she is subjected to the rigid examination
incident to the governmental program
while over On the Sound she can get q
hundred miles inland before she goes up
against the quarantine processes; and
this counts for safety on such score as
this insiduous AMI malignant disease.
ut all goes to demonstrate the utility
and feasibility Of the harbor here; and
due NOTE is being made Of it at Wash
ingtOn!

IN INEVITABLE SEQUENCE.

The commercial expansion of the lower
Columbia, must. Of necessity. BE- follow
Cd rapidly By the civic interest ofNthe
government and the early establish
ment 81 departmental agencies Of great
extent and Importance. The Columbia
river offers remarkable elements Of inn
munity, and utility, for the despatch Of
naval affairs. particularly and this
phase Of federal patronage is likely 70
fall this way as soon as the enhanced
commercial facilities and investments
are made apparent.
The swing Of events on the whole
Pacific Coast win be mighty enough in
trend and volume to compel the erec-
ton and maintenance of huge depots and
docks and yards and stations for the
accommodation Of the war and navy
people and supplies, and in the end Of
these preparations Astoria and the
mouth Of the Columbia must figure i'm
mensely and permanently from the very
and adaptabihty Of the
territory; and We have no doubt what
ever that the visit of Admiral Evans
and his great staff Of officers. win give
an impetus to system Of development
here. as magnificent in scope as il win
be profoundly important in character.
The mouth OF the Columbia cannot be
overlooked forever!
