A HUNDRED-YEAR WAIT.

Astoria i nearing the end of her cen
tnry's waiting for the good things nature
ordained for her, and it behooves her tc
be getting in readiness for the marked
changes that are to innure. She must
chuck her old, desultory, Indifferent way
of looking at people and things and hv
en- up to the demands of new people
and larger activities. The exigencies oi
her development as great rail-and,sea
terminal call for spirit Of eagerness
and adaptability and receptiyeness that
will prove quite foreign to her old inert
style Of meeting things, and what she
does not know OF the exactions Of the
new conditions that are to be hers she
has got to learn quickly. The first thing
she knows James J. Hill and A. b. Ham
mond win be at her doors with all man.
ner of huge propositions in milling
transportation, dockage and the COLA
teral industries that attach, and will
ask for big things and quick decisions,
and she must be in instant and wise
touch with their every need and make
good on the moment To do this she
must practice on the lesser elements Of
business and progress that lie at hand
and coach herself into the humor and
knowledge of DOING THINGS.
These men have spent millions to get
into this wonderful corner Of the earth
and they win spend other millions tc
make the former good, and from this
largess, the future OF Astoria will draw
its best and most permanent increment.
1t pays to know when and how to meet
situations of this sort, and the best
schooling community like ours can
have, i in the rigid, faithful. intelli-
gent and generous patronage and main
tenance of its CHAMBER OF COM
MERGE. Keep in close and intimate
relation with this splendid agency and
never suffer it to languish for an in
slant when such future is in sight 1t
is the one phase Of business life that
is ever on the lookout for the best pos
sibilities and the certain channel for
warping probabilities into hard and ap-
preciable facts, and it cannot perform
its best work without the largest posi-
bic backing.
The Chamber of Commerce is the first
thing the interested, business seeking
stranger asks for and if he finds it
alive, progressive and ready for any sort
of deal, he knows he has landed where
his investments are not going to
dwindle. The new day is not so far
away as some may think, and once It
dawns it viii call for the exercise of
every fine faculty and energy inherent
in ASTORIA.

1--WE Should Have New Bible.
BY Professor SMITH OF Cornell University.

Bible Of the future viii have very important place in
religious lfe but it will not be the Bible OF THE
~ PRESENT It will be much larger and will contain all of
the books that venerated by the synagogue and early
Christian church. many of which have been ELIMINATED The
future Bible will also be newly translated Some Of the present
transons atroous There also be introductory notes and
commentaries,
The important change will be the entirely NEW VIEW
POINT in which will be regarded and changed estimate Of its
value religious and historic The idea that the Bible the sole
of religious knowledge and the standard Of faith will fade
away. preposterous draw SINGLE doctrine from the
writings of HUNDRED DIFFERENT MEN who had different
religious viewpoints

THE ERA OF cINCH.

This is the day of exploitation, the
era of einch, the time that all poor men
viii remember since it bears upon them
harder than anyone else. We believe 1t
is drawing to close, however; that the
people, the press, the courts, the popu.
lar will as shown in its myriad ways
has declared against it, and the de-
mand for reasonable margins and values
is to be met.

awake man or men to develop a live
proposition and make money out Of III
it is the vested privilege Of everyone t
do the best he can for himself and his

Of profit that have obtained through th'
