Astoria, AID would be a Godsend to the
coast counry south OF the Columbia

Salmon River and Siletz River, most all
Of which are sally neglected in the way
OF transportation. All Of these small
rivers AMI bays are at the present time,
AMI some of them will be for years to
come, the only .rtlet from the richest
strip Of country in the State of Oregon.
Tinamook county today is the largest
dairy producer in this state, although
only small percentage Of the rich bot
tom lands which border all of these
streams are as yet in state OF culti-
walton, the main drawback to all OF
these ports being the lack Of transpor
tation. The Salmon River country
promises a bright future in both dairy
and fruit products. This rich little val

SLAU0HTERING OUR SAILORS.

The explosion of q boiler tube
on the Armored Cruiser Tennes.
see, with the result of killing four
men, MORALLY wounding two, and
seriously injuring eight others,
has revived talk of the charges
filed in 1906, against the Shelby
Tube Company, in which it was
alleged that that concern had fur
nished defective boiler tubes for
our war ships. The Tennessee
was one of the ships in which the
Shelby Company tubes were
placed. Either that Company or
some government inspector seems
to be guilty; for the tube which
had just burst was certainly de-
fective. Three men were indicted
and tried on these charges last
year; but the jury disagreed. It
is to be hoped that the cases will
now be reopened and a thorough
legal investigation had. A fleet
of war ships filed with cheap and
defective boiler tubes is more of a
curse than an asset, and if we
have such fleet, the Navy De-
partment and the President are
responsible for they had full mo-
tice of the rotten boiler tubes and
they have evidently taken no
measures TO replace them with
sound tubes.
