NOW FOR ACTUALITIES.

For years Astoria has patiently
abided the solemn promises OF the
Pacific States Telephone Company to
modernize and vitalize its public SER
vice here, only to be crowded to the
rear and bear with the company's
failure TO make good That patience
exhausted, and the lapse made duly
manifest, has evoked late, and last,
pledge that we are to have, at once,
a proper and acceptable service, along
modern and effective lines. Again we
are believing; but with this differ
ence: That if the good faith OF the
company is not Immediately and
practically demonstrated there will
be such campaign started for the
nullihcation of its franchise and the
introduction of new and better utili-
ties at other hands, as will, for all
time, bar the p. 5. people from the
field and its profits.
The essential thing with Astorians
is better and ampler service; they
are not so particular about who shall
render it, and are quite willing the
present company should do it, BUT
1T MUST BE DONE. The com
pany has said it will do it, and COM
plete it by the first Of January next.
And if the people are to be. held
tractable and amenable to the wait,
there must be some early and earn
est signs put forth by which to guage
the real purposes OF the projectors.
The day of dawdling is past and it
is strictly up to the Pacific States
people to make good.

THE SPYING WORLD.

There is no quest known to man
so absorbing, fascinating and com
pensating as spying out human and
natural secrets. Since. the dawn of
creation it has been a principle of
action with men and animals and
must go on eternally There is no
stopping it; the penalties inherent in
the custom are, perhaps, the most
severe and conclusive of all known
reprisals; yet the task is never re-
linquished on that score; risks Of the
most extraordinary and dangerous
character are taken hourly in the al
Turing pursuit of finding, and deter
mining, the forbidden secrets Of the
elements, and Of their highest type
and servant, man.
There has been great deal of COM
ment in the press Of the world Of late
about the japanese and their insati-
able search for military and naval
secrets of the great powers; they
have been detected time and again
in this country, and all over Europe,
prying into the systems and stations
and methods that have to do with
the offensive and defensive equip
ments of the nations; but one never
hears word Of what becomes of
the spy. But the japanese is no ex-
ception to the rule of spying; all
peoples have their spies out, and
keep exact and voluminous records
of the reports that are filed by them.
We are doing the same thing all the
time and everywhere; we must do it
to keep abreast of the day and its
demands, and to guard against the
exigencies of war and the chance of
invasion. In hiding our own secrets
we are inspired to know the range
and quality of others. 1t is perfectly
natural and, in the main, defensible
course

OUR DEBT TO ASTORIA.

The first and deepest obligation OF
every man is owing to his home city
and county; the best quality of pub
lie spirit is his faith in. and allegience
to, the locality that furnishes forth
his livelihood and citizenship; his
duty is plainly and initially, there.
When he has done his best for it, 1t
is time to turn elsewhere and invest
his substance, or its excess.
We all owe much to Astoria. 1t is
ours; we have built it and set it up
as place of consequence and inter-
est, and we must preserve it intact
and further its destiny at all times
and hazards. If we have any super
fetal interest elsewhere it should not
interfere with our logical and impera-
tive sense of home interest.
What we need in this city and
county is TO be Hood Riverized,"
"Eugenized"; to know surely, devout-
ly believe, and say, candidly, and
often, and truthfully, that this is the
one best spot on earth for the
investments of the home-seeker, the
iudnstrialist, the man of commerce;
prove it, and get him in here by the
honest allurement OF every conces-
sion that pride and interest can de-
wise and grant. Nothing short of
this is ever going to put us up in
front and keep us there; and there
are none to do it but ourselves.
In all Oregon, indeed in all the
great Northwest, there is no place
that would respond to the unified
and aggressive spirit of its people
more surely and quickly than Astor
ia; and there is no time like the
present for the summoning of that
ardor, mergence, and action that are
to save US and make us a command
ing factor in the commerce Of the
country, This has been said before
thousand times, perhaps, but it is
still vital and vibrant truth, and we
had best apply it in the way that
common sense and common interest
dictates.

Just what New York's canine and
feline population amounts to has long
been matter of dispute. 1t has been
estimated however that there are no
less than one million dogs and five
millions cats in the city, an estimate
by the way which many persons who
have been kept awake by barking and
yowling consider it foolishly small. 1t
now seems, however, as a matter Of
coldfgures that this estimate is too
low for while no sensus Of the living
has been taken, figures have been
compiled on the number Of cats and
dogs which as strays have been de-
stroyed in the city since the first Of
the year. For this period the total
reaches more than $1,000 which even
though it has to do only with waits
and strays take no consideration Of
the more fortunate pets, is nearly
