WATER ROUTES AND RATES

The report of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, for the fiscal yea-
ending June 80, 1908 shows that the
railways increased their passenger
revenue $54,573,760, over the preced-
ing fiscal year; their revenue from
the mails, $3,007,5l1; their revenue
from express companies $6,332,oO1 ;
their net earnings from other sources
$51 ,701 1868, and with their net earn
ings per mile Of road operated rising
from S3189, in 1905, to $3548 in 1907,
and to S3686 during the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1908, and, finally
when it is considered that the official
figures show an allotment OF $449,-
461 1873 as available for surplus, the
plea of President Ripley that freight
rates must go up because the rail-
ways need the money" becomes a
plea bordering on the ridiculous, and
so does the threat Of Vice-President
Brown.
It is beyond the plane Of the ridicu-
lous; it is phase OF arrogance at
once unmatched in commercial his
tory and singing insolence to he
intelligence of the country. To the
man who will think it out it is a
moving cause for abandoning every
friendly concern he ever had for the
railroads, and a solid predicate for
lending his personal influence to
everything that shall reduce their
dominance and circumscribe their
outrageous greed.
He is fool who undertakes the
railway as commercial factor or
who thinks they could be dispensed
with, or supplanted by any system Of
transportation whatever, for they
have done more to carry, and compel
the range and power of civilization
than any practical agency in the
world. But even so great a prestige
does not provide them with the al
mighty faculties they are assuming in
this land. They are making the blum
der Of history, themselves, They hav'

Excellent Health Advice.

Mrs. NJ. NJ. Dawson, of No. 379
Clifford avenue, San Jose, Cal, says:
"The worth OF Electric Bitters as a
general family remedy, for headache,
bilousness and torpor Of the liver
and bowels is so pronounced that
am prompted to say word in its
favor, for the benefit Of those seeking
relief from such Affections. There is

simply cut out all idea OF response

is invoked politically and forced upon
them by their Legislatures by way OF
measures drawn to abate the abuses
OF which they are practically uncon-
scious. There is an absurd tinge to
the whole business, which we hope,
will be wrought into something far
more substantial before many years
have passed.
The keynote OF change and final
adjustment lies in the popular adop-
tion of the waterway, and the relief
that dwells in the water-rate. Every
river, lake and sea within couch OF
the country's traffic should be utilized
to its last facility, in checiing ard
minimizing the unparalleled rapa-
city of the roads.
There is not better point in all
america for such a demonstration as
exists right here at Astoria, with a
magnificent river at her doors and
the wide free sea inviting the attempt.
So tar as we are concerned we shall
hail the day with infinite satisfaction
when every pound and ton OF stuff, in
and out Of here, shall be shipped and
landed to, and from, from the deck OF
a ship or steamer. By the time such a
day dawns, the railroads will have
learned something of what is due the
people, their patrons and their best
friends.

GOOD SERVICE COMING.

However the telephone situation
eventuates, under the present ar
rangements, Astoria is certain to get
excellent service, or services, in the
near future, and there is lots OF com
fort available in the thought. What
may arise by way of confusion in a
double service will be. primarily, our
own fault in providing for two equip
ments, ard if our businesses are live
" enough to warrant the mainten-
ance of two phones so much the bet
ter. AT all events we are to have
instant and convenient utilities in this
line and that is a great deal, when
what we have had,is measured against
what is to come.
The development of the telephone
issue, in this city, is an object lesson
to the people in warding the inconsid-
erateness Of public franchiseholders
and forcing them to yield all that is
paid for by the general public. Con-
certed and popular action, based up
on righteous reasons, will bring any
corporation to terms instanter and
remedy evils too long borne by the
public. 1t is poor policy, this stupid
patience that palliates, and waits and
refuses to act; it not only gives color
and substance to the defects and dere-
Lotions of the public service COM
panies, bvt yields tacit license to them
and fosters them as accepted and
proper courses When the public
utilities are diminished or hap-hazard-
1y served and this is known and proven
by men OF substance, then is the time
to act and act unitedly and never fall
back for an instant until the whole
thing is Strengthened out.
Astoria has reason to congratulate
herself on the course she has pursued
and the abundant response that is to
be made. The victory was hers at
any time in the past three or four
years, had she gone after it.

HOLDING HER OWN.

II does us good when man like
Marshal Kinney, of Portland, comes
down here and tells us we are holding
our own cieverly and are in as good
shape as any city in the upper coun-
try (or better). 1t is cheering and
comforting and adds tang and tone to
the spirit Of the hour. We are quite
conscious of the precision of his de
ductions, because they are apparent
to others beside Mr.. Kinney; we are
not mindful OF the facts ourselves and
the same word is left us by other good
friends from abroad. There is cheer
here, an absence of all sloth, inertia
everybody on the streets looks to
have a purpose in life and not too
much time to carry it out; we have
mo beggars, mighty few loafers, and
the Northwest minimum of dependent
poor; our mills are all running, and
the biggest of them day and night
(the only mill in the coast country
running double shifts; we are in the
midst of the best fishing season we
have had for years; and while there
might be few more tourists in the
coast and mountain regions, we have
enough of them to emphasize our in
comparable summer and compensate
those who are entertaining them.
Astoria's alright.
