about one-fourth of the quoted death

THE ETERNAL QUESTION.

In the course of long and decid-
edly interesting letter from r.. b,
Wilcox to w. D. Wheedwright, pub
lished in the Portland Oregonian OF
Wednesday last, the writer makes use
of the following emphatic suggestion
which bears peculiarly upon the
Historian situation:
"The North Bank Road is practi-
cally completed; the grain will How
down the Columbia River, and if an
adequate and economical outlet is not
provided, it can only overflow to
Puget Sound, and once diverted to
that channel, it will be difficult to
recover il"
Again, and for the many thou
sandth time we are urged to ask, IN
this relation, what of Astoria?; why
shall not the wheat shipments be
made from here, in default of those
things essential to the holding OF the
business at Portland?; why must it be
sent out of the State?; why to Puget
Sound?; why must Oregon sacrifice a
dollar of this tremendous business to
the Sound cities or to San Francisco?
why must Portland relinquish any
thing to the outsider, when she can
hold and control it forever, at the
mouth of the river she dominates, at
SUPPORT in logical, straight-away
course and touch with her and her
interests, at point where instant
despatch, at the base OF all rail and
water down-grade hauls, is natural,
and dependable, certainty.
Is it because we have no facilities;
no docks, no elevators, no ready-to-
hand conveniences for handling the
business?. How long would it take
Mr.. Wilcox and his associates to in
vest this harbor with these essentials,
if J. ]. Hill should suddenly announce
his purpose of turning the grain to
this terminus for sea-shipment',
Would it take him any longer to do
this thing than it took him to dis
mantle $5O0,000 worth of fine milling
properties at Salem some years ago.
at the behest of the business he con-
trolls with an iron, yet lavish hand3.
Why must Puget Sound always be
used as DOGGY" to disguise the un-
diving fear of Portland that Astoria
may yet become her commercial
hand-maiden?.
We are not deceived down here.
We know the true inwardness of the
astoria Situation" as it governs at
Portland; and we protest again be-
cause of the wretched unfairness OF
the proposition to the whole state, as
well as to this, the best and only
actual harbor possessed by the state.
The years have taught US patience,
and patience is not without its vic
tories.

MARKET FISH AND SEED FISH

OnlSHl HldsS ASSIhS A
broad discussion of the vexed issues
that have arisen in the fishing indus
try of the State Of Oregon, should
yield some very solid and wholesome
texts and terms to send out TO the
people of Oregon as lessons; as
criterions wherewith to judge their
real duty by the industry at large;
and it certainly will provide the AS
toria-Idea" in plain and unvarnished
shape. This idea, by the way, is en-
titled to full faith and credit, the
common acceptance and sanction of
the people, simply because it is the
logical, conservative, major, and
scientific estimate of a vital question
in which this city and section figures
as the most notable center and ex-
ponent.
The fishing for salmon as it is un-
derstood and practiced at this end of
the Columbia river is a matter in
which over 10000 people, fishers, can
ners, shippers, cold storage men,
transportation lines, etc. are deeply
interested, with millions of money ac-
tually invested, and yielding addi-
tional millions every year of its ex-
istanec; with processes, technical,
and financial, that conserve the bust
ness from the net-mesh to the pack
ing case, and that are, in no possible
sense, destructive of the industry
The menace that hangs over the
trade and which, if permitted to pre-
vail, under the specious pleas of less
than score of up-river poachers,
must fall with blighting celerity and
certainty, lies in the annual deple-
ton of the seed fish as it ascends the
river to the spawning grounds, and
in the equally ruinous ABSORPTION of
the newborn salmon, the babies and
fngerlings, that reach the channels
after the season; the deadly fish
wheels maintained by these few rich
operators in that district making
"fsh" and "hesh" of the last thing
that wears fins. This is the crux of
our fight; and it is an honest, decent,
manly plea, and will obtain and en-
dure TO the end If only marketable
salmon were caught in the upper
reaches, no word of protest would go
up from this neighborhood; BUT
EVERY TRAINED FISHERMAN
IN THE BUSINESS KNOWS,
THAT IN THE FACE OF SUCH A
RULE, HONESTLY ENFORCED,
THERE WOULD NOT BE A
SINGLE DOLLAR OF PROFIT
IN THE INLAND FISHERIES.
THE WHEEL CANNOT BE
BUILT TO DISCRIMINATE; IT
MUST TAKE THE MOTHER,
THE FRY, THE VERY EGGS
THAT ARE DETACHED AND
ADRIFT, IF IT IS TO DO ANY
BUSINESS FOR IT'S OWNER!
NO HATCHERY CAN BE Sue

MAINTAINED WITHIN ANY
SORT OF RADIUS OF A FISH
WHEEL, SINCE THE PRODUCT
OF THE HATCHERY BECOMES

R1FICE OF THE WHEEL! WILL

Eight Years Ago Was Not
Improved.

Cowiche ranchers to the number Of
about a dozen appeared before the
board of county commissioners Mon
day and asked that new road be
opened Immediately over the ridge
between the Cowiche and Naches.
In 1900 roadway was secured
through this section and all the right
of-way was granted, but part of the
roadway was not put into use. From
this fact, the property reverted to the
owners and new steps must be taken
to open the road.
Petitions were furnished the Cow
iche ranchers and they will be circd-
lated Immediately Owing to the
prospective opening of the district
for irrigation by the Tieton canal
the road is of much Importance.

BOLD BANDITS ON
YAKIMA AVENUE.

Chauffeur Lynch, one of the best
known young meA in the city, was
shot in the back by holdup men about
1880 o'clock this (Friday) morning.
The shooting occurred at Naches and
Yakima avenues. Lynch who has
had charge of the Washington Garage
during Manager Cashman's absence,
was starting for his home with the
Cosgrove family, s South Eighth
street. While crossing Naches ave-
nue. and under an electric light he
was hailed by two men. One showed
a gun under his nose. saying "If you
run | will shoot
Lynch failed to profit by the ad-
vice but started along the avenue as
fast as he ever operated an automo-
bile. The holdup man made good his
word and fired. The bullet struck
Lynch in the right shoulderblade. He
ran for block after being wounded.
He stopped and returned to the
garage. then tainted.
1t was feared at first the wound
was most serious. A physician was
called and the wound attended.
Lynch was taken to the Cosgrove
home in cab. and at last reports he
is resting easily, and it is believed the
wound Is one which will not cause
much anxiety.
The police were not notified OF the
shooting until fully an hour after it
occurred, and although they secured
the town failed to find the men re-
sponsible.
Lynch came here several months
ago from Seattle with Rene Cosgrove.
popular young real estate man of
this city. While here he has made
many friends and is highly esteemed.
