HENCE, BY ELECTRIC"

Among all the things that are sore
" needed here, the facilities for quick
inter-urban communication, stand
pre- eminent. Astoria simply yearns
for hourly touch with her neighbors
in the valleys and on the county
coast, as we'll as swift and frequent
intercourse with Tillamook county
and all that therein is. 1t may be
years before the Hill interest will get
round to extending the A, & c. south
into Tillamook; and if we can have
this benson in months instead Of
years, so much the better for Astoria.
The Astorian has always heartily
championed this scheme; in fact so
often, that it has become habit; and
it proposes to keep right on standing
for the enterprise, even if it does in
tervene at times to ask odd and peril
nent questions 1t is too essential,
too vital, too commanding, to be de-
precated.
Now that Chief Engineer L. c.
Rogers, of the Astoria, Seaside &
Tillamook Railway line is on the
ground, and making preparation for
the survey, there is color and sub
stance to the project that invites the
popular interest and espousal, and we,
with all others in the country, hope
to see the proposition forge ahead
until nothing can stop it.

A BIT INCONSISTENT.

Not always is man quoted cor
recty in newspaper, but, assuming,
in general way, that he is, there is a
bit Of inconsistency in the reported
interview had with Hon, ]. c, McCue,
of this city and county, in the Port
land Telegram OF Monday last, That
paper says:
while declaring that every man
who took the Statement No. pledge
should abide by it, Representative
elect John McCue, of Astoria, says
the Legislature should be organized
on party lines. Mr.. McCue, who rep
resented Clatsop County in the re-
cent Legislature, has been reelected
to succeed himself, and is receptive
candidate for Speaker of the House" !"
1t sounds little queer Ito say the
least of it), that Mr. McCue should
advise all Statement No. men to
abide by their pledge, which means
simply that they must elect Geo. f.
Chamberlain to the United States
Senate, and then, in the same breath,
to urge the partisan organization OF
the Legislature.
Just how he will assimilate such
diverse proceedings passes our under
standing, at all events. With an over
whelmingly Republican Legislature
lined up and committed to the cleo
ton Of Democratic Senator, we fail
to find the harmonious basis requi-
site for partisan alignment and cohe-
sion, in the work that is to follow.
But there has been so much OF in
congruity, such extraordinary limita-
tions attained in, and out OF, the
Republican Cd party Of Oregon, dur
ing the past three years, that even
this ridiculous proposition may be
fathomed and wrought.
Perhaps if Mr.. McCue talked as
freely to his home papers as he does
to those abroad, we might have
clearer concetion Of such enigmas as
the one he propounded to the Tele-
gram.

KIDNAPPED BY GYPSIES
Boy Tells His Story After Escaping

years old who disappeared last Thurs
day from the residence of his aunt
Mrs. ]. Smith, was kidnapped by gyps-
les according to his own story. The
story told by the little boy who man
aged to escape from his captors and
put in an appearance yesterday at
the residence of his sister, Mrs. Jas.
Martin, is straightforward and the
police will make an investigation and
if possible arrest the kidnappers.
He said he was on his way home
from school, last Thursday when he
was hailed by two men driving in a
wagon. They asked him if he wanted
to ride.
He climbed into the wagon and
then, he asserts, one Of the men threw
blanket over his head and after
binding him hand and foot, threw
him under the seat and drove along
but in what direction he could not
tell.
"After we had been travelling what
seemed to be to me three or four
hours" the boy continued, they took
me out at lonely spot where there
were five tents in which lived IA men
and about as many woman and two
little girls.
"They made me carry wood and
water and there was some one watch
ing me all the time so ! could not run

Pat 0'Hara, Former Councilman
Here, Doing Things
INvOKES FEDERAL INTEREST
His Fighting Qualities All Aroused
and he Win Take the Issue Through
the Courts - Combine Will Meet
Him on Meat Fight.

The Hoquiam correspondent OF the
Aberdeen World, writes this OF ex.
Astorian's fight on the meat trust;
What promises to be one OF the
most important suits ever filed on
Grays Harbor will shortly be institut'
ed in the United States court for this
district, by Pat O'Hara butcher oi
this city, against what he terms the
beef trust" He declares that the
wholesalers have refused to sell him
meat and he will attempt to show
that a conspiracy in restraint OF trade
exists among them.
Mr.. O,Hara was formerly engaged
in the butchering business in Aber-
deem, but recently moved to this city,
where he opened a shop, A man
named Thompson figured on taking
an interest in the business, but chang
ed his mind before the shop opened,
Thompson, it appears is a meat ped
dler.
when O'Hara placed an order
with one OF the Harbor companies
for beef, he says that his order was
refused Later he met the beel mag
mates at Hoquiam. He was told he
AYERS, that the wholesalers under
stood Thompson was his partner; that
the wholesalers were opposed to the
peddling OF meats, and that they
would refuse to sell to any peddler.
O'Hara replied that Thompson was
not his partner. He was then inform
ed, so he declares. that his participa-
tion in the business at Hoquiam
made him a competitor OF the retail
agents OF the wholesalers, and that
he could not have meats.
1T is my purpose to place the mat
ter in the hands of the federal au-
thorities" said Mr.. O. Hara. These
dealers have entered into conspir-
acy in restraint of trade, and OF there

ton | mean to employ it. shall

formation at my disposal.
Il believe that every man on earth
has the right to do business, and
that it is unlawful for any set OF men
to enter into a conspiracy to deprive
him of his right That principle has
been involved in all of tthe trust
busting prosecutions on the part Of
the federal authorities.

prices were just the same as those OF

LESSON IN QUICK DESPATCH.

The demonstration made in this
port, yesterday, in the matter of the
quick despatch of the American
Hawaiian steamship Nebraskan, is en-
tirely creditable to Astoria, and to
the public spirited men who secured
the call Of the vessel.
She entered port between s and 9
o'clock yesterday morning, under the
pilotage of Captain Staples OF the bar
service, docked 100 minutes later at
the Can dock; and by the time she
was fast gang of 40 stevedores was
busy throwing $4,000 cases of salmon
down her matches and through her
cargo doors. By 6 o'clock p. m she
was battened and ready for sea, and
under the same pilot, went to the
lower harbor to wait for the flood
this morning, when she will put to
sea at 10 o'clock, just "a hours in port,
with no hitch anywhere along the
line.
This means a practical saving of 48
hours over Portland despatch, with
everything in readiness up there for
quick handling; and, under ordinary
processes, it means direct saving to
the ship of four days over the up
river cargoing.
1t is to be hoped the lesson will
fall impressively right here, and spur
the commercial men of Astoria to the
task of meeting these ships every 20
days in the same fashion. Such hand
ling as this will do more to urge the
attention of shippers than anything
on earth; it is too intensely practical
to escape their definite interest; and
once that is aroused there is no
reckoning the limits to which the
business of shipping may develop
here. The venture is rich in promise.
All it needs is the energy and tact to
go after the business; the ships will
follow quickly enough to suit us all
and once the word goes forth that we
can furnish cargo, and expedition over
everything in the Columbia, the story
of Astoria's redemption to her natural
commercial engagement will be told
in short measure.
