CASE OF MUTUALITY.

The Astoria, Seaside & TillamooE
Electric Railway Company has beer
carefully routed through, and out Of
the city by a line OF gradients that
conduce to its safety, comfort des-
! patch and utility, and one that does
not, so far as can be determined at
this writing, interfere with nor in
wade any private or public right, and
which has, undoubtedly, the approval
of those whose money is behind the
project; and all things being under
stood and appreciated in civic sense,
there is chance for the development
of the mutuality existing as between
this enterprise and the municipality,
in the matter of ordaining, at the
proper and propitious moments, such
street improvements along the line Of
that route, as shall contribute, with
out extra cost to property owners in
terested, to the early success of the
project.
We do not know that the COM
pany has anything to ask OF this sort,
and broach the matter as one of live
interest and general concern, in ex-
pediting the completion of sorely
needed enterprise and materially as
sisting it in a fashion that means
something to all concerned. There
may be points on the proposed line,
within the limits Of the city, that will
need exploitation and improvement
by the city at some later day, and if
these are anticipated by few months
or by year or more, no one will be
the loser, and the community gener-
ally will be radically aided by accel-
Grating the big task of the company,
either in whole or in part, by per-
mitting the earlier use of the organic
system of street improvement where
it shall become essentially contribu-
tive of this particular enterprise.
If the city and the company can
find common and timely ground for
action, each may serve the other to
very genuine and general good.

THE PUBLIC WANTS RELIEF

There is nothing at all ambiguous
about the present status of the tele-
phone question in Astoria; the people
want early and distinct relief and a
service vastly nearer the demands of
the day and more nearly compensat-
ing for the money they are paying
out. The issue has been clearly drawn,
frankly stated, and has the absolute
and unanimous endorsement of the
whole community, including the rural
service end Of the business.
All the public agencies for discuss
ing and disposing OF such affairs .in
Astoria, are deeply interested in the
outcome, and the people are squarely
behind them in the work Of compell-
ing relief. There need be no hesitancy
at any point; the work Of the council
and the Chamber of Commerce will
be readily met when it is known
that the old conditions are to be set
out and new and equitable returns
made for the money the people are
paying for telephone communication,
no matter who shall furnish the
amended service.
There is one feature that, alone,
will raise an obdurate phase of oppo-
sition, and that is the introduction Of
dual system. We do not want this
absurd, costly, and troublesome con-

F. A. sEUFERr HERE.

The coming Of Mr.. F. A. Seufer
to the mouth Of the Columbia river
after all that has been said and dom
in the recent fisheries contest in thi
valley, is very significant and must b,
construed as of distinct importance
by every man down here. Irrespec
tive of the sharp and able fight hi
directed in the interests OF this

sicn of defeat that marks. his coming
he is here with very broad and friend
ly ideas, and while cherishing all his
technical principles as applied to the
industry, will make his new enterprise
to harmonic with the business and
its customs as they prevail at this
end of the river.
Mr.. Seufert is no narrowgauge ex-
perimentalist; he is not given to
idealizing and standardizing every
thing he is interested in; he is given
to taking things as they are and bet
tering them as they prove susceptible
to change and improvement; and
while it is said that he intended to cut
Astoria out Of all his future calcula-
tons and enterprises, as centered at
the mouth of the Columbia, he will
find he has too many friends in this
city to make so harsh policy prac-
ticable; and he is too polite to adopt
such course even if it were.
He has been here; he has gone
over the north shore ground, to
Megler, to McGowan's, to Ilwaco, to
Altoona, with view to selecting a
site for his new cannery; he has re-
ceiyed overtures from one or two
owners Of plants already for his pur-
poses; he has intimated nothing, to
anyone, as TO what, where, nor when
he will close any deal; but the assur-
ance is out, with his authority, that
he is to come here. and set up a dis
tinct and valuable adjunct to the sal
mon fishing industry, and Astoria,
with every other community on the
lower river has the right to be glad
Of it and to proffer, and do, what she
may toward making Mr. Seufert real
ize that he is coming among friends
and people who will adequately ap-
preciate his pluck and public spirit,
while cherishing the comforting as
surance that such men as A. B. Ham
mond and F. A. Seufert have not
come to the mouth Of the Columbia
primarily, nor peculiarly, for their
health, and that their investments
hereabout mean something of certain
and unqualified value to the whole
country, and the two great industries
they stand for.
