RAILROAD SURVEY ALMOST DONE,
Parties From Seaside End and Elsie
Within Two Miles OF One Another.

Superintendent Of Construction Davis
OF tho Pacific Railway & Navigation
Company's new road, known as the
Lytle Road was in town Tuesday. Mr.,
Davis was at the Court House looking
up titles and other matters pertaining
to the right-of.way required By the
road. The survey parties from either
end are now almost within two miles OF
one another, The party starting from
the Seaside end are only two miles from
the tunnel and those starting from Elsie
and working west are practically at the
tunnel To people with whom Mr.. Davis
talked he said that the road would be
built through to Astoria and Warrenton
as fast as possible after the survey
was completed and checked up. Con-
tracts will then be let for the construc.
ton OF the road from here to Nehalem
where it will connect with the line now
under construction from Tillamook to

ANOTHER PORTLAND ERROR.

The press of Portland seems to en-
tertain q contemptuous indifference
about what it reports OF, and from
Astoria, on the general principle, per-
haps, that anything raw or wrong it can
saw of us will react favorably, in some
occult fashion, for the metropolis, Its
latest fool deduction is that the Astoria
Ministerial Association has entered into
an agreement. or league, with the Royal
Arch Tor such body as is representing
the liquor interests here) whereby the
saloons OF the city are to be kept closed
on SUNDAYS during what are known as
church hours and in Difference to this
concession on their part, the ministers
will not exact any further observance
OF the Sunday prohibition.
The conclusion is absurd on the face
of it, both as to the ministerial people
and the men in charge OF the other end
of the controversy. No such compromise
was ever agreed upon, and what OF con-
cession the saloon men have made
along this line, has been purely volun-
tary on their part, and has no bearing
rpon the attitude or demands OF the
other group OF interested citizens, and
the matter of Sunday closing is still an
undetermined issue.
1t is hoped the papers at Portland
being advised OF their blunder will be as
prompt to correct it as they were to
make it: unless the effort shall deprive
them Of too much, and too good, an
opportunity to lambaste the town they
are notoriously willing to disparage
upon every conceivable pretext.
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1907-07-18
THE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND.

1t were well that our representatives
in the state and federal governments be-
gin to realize that the people now have
fairly clear understanding OF the
trust situation and are prepared to
exact certain specific legislation in the
early future that shall cure the evils
thrust upon them in the past and head
of any access OF imposition OF the sort
The knowledge will do them good when
they go up to the legislatures and to con-
gress, aud the fact that the popular eye
is practically wide open may have Il
tendency to check the reckless practices
BY which corporate domination has been
so easily acquired. The Americans are
a long suffering set and it takes vast
deal to arouse them to clamor and ac-
ton of a defensive sort, but when they
know things as they know them now by
reason of the fierce exposures wrought
through the press of the country and
verified by public analysis and or
dained investigation, it will be all a
legislators or congressman's head is
worth to try to load the people down
again with such burden. The clever
representative is going to stand pat for
people and leave syndicated skull
duggery to work its own course, or he
Is going to get lesson in the school OF
national eensure and reprisal that will
last him and his kin forever. The people
will never be as Indifferent as they have
been; there will be an intelligent over
night and sleepless watchfulness never
known before, and the man with the
constituency will be in the limelight as
he never was before.
The press OF the country has been
freed from all obligation to the knayes
Of the protected interest class, by
the universal disclosures that have
been made during the past two years,
and it will do its duty all the better
for the wide and extraordinary publicity
that has been given to those things
that might have been hidden, in part,
and there will be no necessity for duplic-
ity nor the submergence of news in this
relation; and the paper that does not
give that news will be a marked sheet
in its community. There have been
yenal papers all over the country that
have waxed fat and rich from this
source and they will be glad to abandon
the ruck and get back to open condi-
tions, just as their readers will be glad
to have them. The people understand
a whole lot more than they ever did
and they will know their friends to a
man and to paper, from now on.

Nature Has so Ordered it that this State

of his great paper, explaining what he

city on the 18th day of October ls94'
1t had meaning then, or Mr.. Scott
would never have given voice to it; and
we would like to know, from the same
responsible source, what moved him to
such pregnant conclusion. We have
repeatedly invited an explanation of this
straightaway and cogent declaration, but
it has been studiously denied us, by
those who are doing editorial work on
those columns; and we quote it, this
time, detached from its equally signif'
can't collateral arguments, as it stands,
eminently, the crucial statement of
