NAME THE BENEFITS!

Thi from Tuesdays issue of the
Portland Journal editorial columns;
"one would suppose from the Asto-
rians prolonged roaring over the
Port of Columbia bill that 1t was
something detrimental to Astoria.
whereas its passage would benefit that
city as well as Portland and the Col
umbia river region generally. Asto-
ria is becoming too big and important
a place to tie down it's interests toI
those of a little coterie Of pilots whose
record is open at times to severe crit
icism to say the least"
Ever since the Portland Chamber of
Commerce was delivered Of its last
and worst monstrosity, the port of
Columbia" bill, the Portland Journal
has steadily barked and barked about
the benefits" 1t would confer upon
this port; but without once naming,
or specifying a single item of that
quality with which it is supposed to
bristle.
Aside from the fact that it does not
carry a single providential or advan-
tageous element for the city, or port
of Astoria, we have the deeper and
farther reaching ground Of contention,
that the bill was framed for an end
its text does not indicate in terms,
bill which is luminousiy apparent.
The clncning, for all time, Of Port
lands commercial dominance, to the
utter nepation and ruin Of Astoria ;
commercial future. This is the crux
of our f9ht
We know tn .re Is ar early and ex-
traordinary future forthis place, and
Portland knows it, even better than
we do; and, having over-borne the
situation successfully for nalf centll-
ry, she is making this, her last and
most unconscionable effort to hold
fast to tnat which is inevitably pass
ing from her.
The day is at hand for the building
of new cities throughout Oregon.
Portland has eaten and thrived upoG
the tribute she has exacted from eve
ry town and section Of the state, un-
til she has but few real friends among
the communities; though there are
ntne to deny her every claim to pre-
cedence and success, and all are proud
Of her as a metropolis. Unconscious
ly, perhaps, she has become over
weening, selfish, and arrogant and has
injured herself materially In riding
over everything rough h-shod and ma
ling but shallow pretense Of interest
and aid in and for her outlying neigh
bors.
Astoria has pride and purpose Of her
own and will not be gainsaid by Port
land nor any other influence. She is
hewing to her own lin. of develop
ment and does not propose to be
barred nor baked nor baff1ed by Port
land any longer.
That's all!

The business men of Brownwood have gone on record through the / Fifty Thousand Club as opposed to the a. cent fare In Texas now, and this action is commented on all over the state. The Fifty Thousand Club in doing this is taking the statements of ralroad officials in good faith. These railroad officiais say that the reduction in fare will render it difficult for railroads to float bonds in the East for railread extensions and that. too, without much reference as to whether the railroads can profitably operate under the 2- cent fare. Men who buy bonds would bAsitate to invest in them while the new rate law Is under experimental tests. Brownwood wants four or five more railroads and Is therefore opposed to the proposed reduction. Another thing Brownwood has suffered for lack of rol- ling stock on the roads to handle the freight, and the town would rather have these things than any benefit ac- cruing from 2-cent fare. The town thinks that perhaps the rate reduction might prevent the roads now In opera tion from securing the much needed equipment fox handling both freight and passengers expedltiousiy. {

 Tho very long Louis xv coats are considered very modish. They ara made half-ftting with large pockets. flaps and deep mousquitaire cuffss which are trimmed with embroidery or very big buttons The vest is of the richest brocade. velvet or cloth braided all over.
 The new leather bags that are now being carried are decidedly flat in ap- pearance and are novel in shape The wrist-bags have very slender handles, usually one narrow strap of the leath- or. just large enough to slip over the arm
 A pleasing hat Is of the Sir Joshua Reynolds style. It is trimmed with two long ostrich plun1es which are posed over the crown and are fastened on the left side at tEe back. G
 The correct handkerchief for morn ing iS cross barred linen matching the suit or shirtwaist. with plain hem stitched border. The one for after noon has rounded corners and Is em- broidered in . floral design. and the one for evening is very small. made of sheer Iinon batlste with scaiioped or. hemstitched border and finished with fine net or Vaicnciennes.
 A serpentine comb of rhlnestones is very attractive for evening wear with high-necked gowns. For afternoon wear. plain Nhcll combs or those with but little ornament are in far better taste.
 Fichus of silk mousseline or chiffon are decidedly the vogue. Some bril-. liant colors are worn. but 1t is often the case that a ichu in vivid color will relieve the costume of neutral tone.
 Shantung and tussor are every bit as popular as they were in the summers but they are now being dyed in such pretty shades of raspberry. Copenha- gen blue. myrtle green and old geld.
 To be worn with formal costumes are scarfs of marabout. Iibeyty and net. There are nun and scarf sets of narabout which are finished with tiny fiuffy tails. The most stunning scarf is of Brusseils net with borders of mat spangles in opelescent colors minaiea with bugle beads

 servftade.
nY HENRI puRnIs.

Paris. Oct 1s-M. Faliieres, the President, lost great deal of popu- larity by his much talked-of. decision in the case of Soleilland. the brutal murderer of a little girl. whose sen tence of death was commuted to penal servitude.
 Not that the present chief magis- trate ever enjoyed or ever will enjoy the measure of popularity that Carnot or Felix Faure or Emile Loubet could boast. but people had begun to think he was harmless head of the State. and at bottom a good sort of fell low who preferred his own ease to be- ing troubled oyer much-afd this characteristic appeal to the French Then when a ridiculous little so-called attompt on his fife was made, he ai- most became popular for a brief period.
 Since the popular agitation to exe- cute Soleilland broke out. and the Pres ident disappointed it by deciding that like all other French murderers for some years past, he should not be gull Iotinad, public clamor has been very much aGainst him. It is extraordinary how public opinion took up this ques- ton and how universal was the da. rnand that the execrated Soleiliand should pay the utmost penalty of his deed.
 Paris has got sick of its bestfal crimes. and ssrong public opinion is finding expression that 1t is really ow- ing to the clemency of the authorities that these crimes are so frequently committed. Nearly every jury in the country has sent petition to the Min ister of Justice asking that the death penalty should be kept on the statute hook, and people are saying 1t IS ri- dicuious that President of a democ- racy should have power over life and death like some feudal monarch.
 The government and the President could not. of course. shut their eyes to this popular clamor. and 1t doubtless in a measure to appease 1t and turn the peoples thoughts in an- other direction that the President went to visit the districts where the disas- ter from the floods occurred
 At the time of the wine riots in the same district last summer the fact that neither the President nor any of the country were adversely commented on.

New York, Oct. i9.--A new belt pin Is shown in an American Eagle made of dull gold and rhinsstones. to be worn with . taffeta belt. Another at tractive pin is the gull. wht>h Is worn only with stif bcIting
 Oriental embroidery Is an accessory which Is in great favor. Bands of Chinese. Persian and Russian needle- work are used In many ways. Some of the large passamenterie tassels and ornaments are made In these mixed Oriental colorings and can be used eff fectively on almost any material.
 Gloves in all colors are being shown in the French glove houses, and can be found to match all the new broad cloths. For dressy occasions, the white glove has-returned into favor. and for evening wear they come in the most delicate pastel shades of pale blue. and shades of yellow.
 The vivid emerald green is much used. also green and black is a popu- lar combination. Red, in the various shades of fruit are favorite colors. The Copenhagen blue Is the shade that is undoubtedly the most pleasing.
 Belts should always blend or match the costume or possibly the trimming on the cuffs and collar. To wear
 
 spells the good lines of the costume: 1t should not break the harmony in the blouse and skirt.
 Tan shoes or slippers are only appro- priate for morning wear with the tail- ored suit. Soft black qalfskin or pat ent leather are correcW for afternoon street wear. All evening slippers are of patent leather or French kid. bead ed. and the more elaborate ones are of silk or satin. having the French heels set with rhinestones.
 Colored and checked velvet Is being much used for pipings on tife tailored suits, or on the popular jumper dress of velveteen of imported broadcloth. Trimmings of soutache. stitched bands and embroideries are placed in the middle of the skirt length. instead of around the bottom. The deep weight ed hem now takes the place of the oth- CT trimming.
 Some of the smartest gowns show, touches of gray or toupe velvet and this is especially effective with the new cerise tints. Many hats are made perfectly stunning when trimmed with bows of cerise velvet or faced with silk of this color.

 Most of.

The feat for which he received s1 1,000. and which was watched by thousands consisted of sh ming up the steel flagpole which swayed like a reed under his weight, and crowning the remarkable structure with gilded ball. which now marks the highest point reached by sky scraping architects.
 Cautiously enough. Capelle who went about his perilous task with. the ut- most coolnese. did not look like Q fly to the gaping multitude below but like a full-sized man when he finally gained kis dizzy porch on the top of the pole, On account of the fact that there was nothing else in that part of the upper world to make him look small in com parison.
 Perhaps the strangest feature of the whole undertaking was the fact that Capelie had to give bonds to the city not to fall on anybody. although as he ference to him if he did.
