THE WIDE, WIDE WEST.

The Southern Pacific Company her.
aids the fact that its lines from the
east and the middle west have brought
10000 people into the coast country
out here over 10 per cent more than
came via its lines last year, and the
tale is very significant, and urges a
sharp realization upon the westerner
that he had best be making hay while
the land and all it contains, is his.
OF course it is an infinitely good
thing to have these new and busy
people In our midst to aid in the de-
velopment of this imperial paradise,
but all the same, the man on the
ground may save the cream of the
good things to himself and his own II
he knows enough to husband his ad-
vantages and make the proper reser-
vations.
The man from the east or west is
not coming thousands of miles to take
the second-fiddlers place If ne has
anything to invest, and he is quite
sharp enough to pick up the good
things without being told of them
when he gets here. And what he
achieves will be at the cost Of some
man who has not been wide-awake
enough to garner 1t for himself.

THE ERA or FIRES.

II would seem as though there was
to be an era Of fires hereabout, con-
sidering the sharp blazes that visited
this city and Warrenton during the
past As hours. Fires go in series Just
as other events sometimes flock. and
the mere supposition begets the better
sense OF precaution, II 1t does nothing
else.
The measure of value of precaution
Is rated by the loss consequent upon
carelessness and mas no other basis Of
computation even among those who
estimate both upon the hypothesis of
genuine business, such as insurance.
1t should not take much of loss in
Astoria to impress the whole COM
nnunity the absolute expediency Of
rigid care; for the simple reason that
there is so much to sacrifice to an un-
controlled confagration 1t would also
seem as though this principle was well
understood in this city. since fire Of
any scope at all, is SO rare.
Astoria may count herself almost
among the immune places and profit
by the good fortune.

A MISPLACED SHOT.

The solid shot that smashed through
the walls Of the East Portland home
on Tuesday morning last was pecul-
iarly misplaced, not only that it was
on deadly and unwarranted range in
being turned loose on the city at all,
but that 1t was in the cannon at all.
What business had solid shot to be
In such gun? Who put 1t there, and
for what purpose? The mere govern
mental requirement that the gun be
discharged at least once every three
months, does not enter into the propo-
sition in any way whatever. The fact
that must be ferreted out is why
1t was there. Once that is ascertained.
there will be "cat out Of the bag"
that will claw somebody into an in
extricable lot of trouble. When peace
full ship like the Costa Rica in times
of peace, can yield such an alarm as
this in a populous, nome city, there

rifced his own life in saving three

before he could himself reach that
platform the train was upon him and
he was crushed to death. The res
cued passengers escaped in the crowd
before their names were ascertained.

Ragozinnikova, who yesterday shot
and killed General Maximoffsky, direc-
tor of the department of prisoners Of
the ministry of the interior, was TAX
en- to the fortress of St. Peter and st.
Paul today, tried by court martial and
sentenced to be executed by hanging.
It was reported during the day that
the police had discovered another
plot against the life of Emperor Mich
olas and a high official was said to
have been arrested in this connection.
The police and ,gendarme officials of
st. Petersburg, however, profess to
know nothing of the matter and init
mate that the rumors probably were
due to the large number of arrest and
searches made in connection with the
assassination of General Maxinoffsky,
which had resulted In the capture OF
several ~accomplices of Mile Ragozin-
nikova. TF'FF
