The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1907-01-18

For years this port has been colily
denied the common point rate on
grain. Has been deliberately over
looked. ignored. rcpudlated and turned
down,
This has contributed immensely to
the DETECTION Of rightful and vai-
liable business ana profits away from
this place and has thrust Astoria
with all her practical and exceptional
commercial facilities in the back
ground OF the Northwest
It has been done wilfully and sys-
tematically, at the behest of the job
bcrs and brokers and transportation
men OF Portland and the Sound Cities,
and has been met with easy and COM
plant readiness by the oregon Rail
road & Navigation Company In chief,
and Its allied lines, in sequence and
allegiance that has never varied for
an hour.
Astoria has fought, faithfully and
lntermnably this raw discrimination
against her; In season and out, but
always against the domination of the
metropolis and Its unvarying success
in influencing the management of the
O. r. & n. The trouble has always
been that her fight was carried on upon
basis of logical equity, without spe-
cifc weapons OF attack or defense,
Now the situation Is entirely remod-
eled and her equality before the law
gives assurance of all, once so bru-
tally disclaimed.
But. whatever the reason for her
failure, there Is no room for another
moments delay in righting the long
borne deprivation, 1t Is wholly and
conclusively within the power of the
city to demand and obtain the ad-
vantage and recognition so purposey
refused her, and it lies directly with
In the compass of her Chamber of
Commerce, primarily, to go after the
things that are hers and never re-
linquish. for moment the right that
cannot be longer Withheld.
The O. r. & N. Is the principal
factor in this outrage and it is against
that Portland combination
that the fight must be directed. There
must be no halfway measures about
the preliminary work; 1t must be
carefully planned and scrupulously di-
rected, and If there Is an ounce of
justice in the new law of Interstate
Commerce set out at length below,
then the day Of contradiction and de-
spollment Is past for Astoria: for this
corporation can, and must be forced
to, give the common point rate on
the grain Of Montana, Idaho and
Washington to this point, BOTH BY
IT'S RAIL AND WATER LINES.
There is no ambiguity in the text Of
the law; 1t is as plain as simple, ap-
plicable English can make it, and all
that Is needed Is a positive, uncom-
promising use of the edict by the
people of this city through one or
more of its representative civic bod
les, including the common council,

carrier or carriers, In obedi-
ence 10 such order Of the Commission
or otherwise. in respect to joint rates

among themselves upon the appor-
tionment or division thereof, the Com
mission may after hearing make a
supplemental order prescribing the
just and reasonable proportion Of such
Joint rate TO be received by each car
rier party thereto, which order shall
take effect as part of the original
order.
The commission may also after
hearing or complaint, establish
through routes and joint rates as the
maximum to be charged and prescri5s
the division Of such rates as hereinbe-
fore provided, and the terms and corr
dtions under which such through
routes shall be operated, when tina.
may be necessary to give effect to any
provision Of this Act, and the carriers
complained Of have refused or negIee .
ted to voluntarily establish such
through routes and joint rates, PROV :
ded no reasonable or satisfactory
through route exists and this provision
shall apply when one Of the connecting
carriers is a water line.
If the owner of property transporte l
under this Act directly or indirectly
renders any service connected with
such transportation, or furnishes any
instrumentality used therein, the
charge and allowance therefore shall
be no more than is just and reason
able, and the Commission may, after
hearing on a complaint, determine
what is a reasonable charge as the
maximum to be paid by the carrier
or carriers for the service so rendered
or for the use of the instrumentality
so furnished, and fix the same by ap-
propriate order, which order shall have
the same force and effect and be cit
forced in like manner as the orde 8
above provided for in this section.
The foregoing enumeration of pow
ers shall not exclude any power which
the Commission would otherwise have
in the making of an order under the
provisions of this Act"

This state examiner would do the

concurred in by Senator Johnson and

Snake CoiIed Around SLEEPER.

ondke ~oIleo Arouno sleeper.
F. E. Feve, an employe of the North
ern Electric, had a thrilling experience
with snake Tuesday morning. Feve,
with two companions, occupies tent
made out of gunny sacks in the west
ern portion of Oroville.
He was awakened by feeling of
strangulation. He attempted to cry
out, but so tightly was his throat
bound that he could not make a sound.
AS he became fully awake he realized
that something must be done or he
would choke. He grasped frantically
for his throat and his hand slipped
over the scales of a huge snake which
had coiled itself around his neck. He
frantically pulled the coils loose, the
reptile resisting him and biting him
In the cheek.
His two companions, awakened by
the noise, came to Feve's rescue. The
two pulled the snake away and threw
1t to the floor, where it glided away
while the men attended to Mr. Feve's
wound. The reptile was a. gopher

SOME GLOVE ADVICE.
The Size and Color 1t Is Best to Pur-
chase

The Size and Color 1t Is Best to Pur-
chase.
Don't buy glove that is too small, y
advised smart assistant in one OF
the big London shops. "It not only
cramps the hand, but it prevents
grace of motion and gives poor service.
Not one.half the women who come in
here know what points to watch out
for in buying gloves. l try to instruct
my customers, but a woman must be
ripe for the knowledge through person
al experience or the advice will not
be appreciated. Black gloves are gen.
orally less elastic than light colors.
Dressed kid gloves usually retain their
freshness longer and are more durable
than suede. Short-fingered gloves
give the hand a man-formed look, and
they soon break out at the tips or be-
tween the fingers. Putting on a glove
for the first time has more to do with
the fit and wear than almost anything
else. Take time to At them and, If
possible, wear them a good half.hOur
before closing the fingers. Button the
last two buttons first, for the greatest
strain naturally comes on the first"
