The project to establish wholesale
grocery in this city, to meet not only
the local demands for an abatement

up from the coastwise folk of the

several OF the leading grocers OF this

will be found at the forefront OF the
when it shall materialize.
1t should be encouraged on all
sides, and no doubt will be; since it

Every such feature reacts potently
for all concerned and adds materially
to the commercial energy OF the

There is nothing to hinder it. We
have plenty of wealth, trained exper

mon-point rate on such merchandise
from the East, and waiting trade
on the outside, only too ready to fall
into line with such a departure. As

a business element and from the looks

THAT li2 MILES OF RIVER.

Some day soon Portland shippers
will have to come to the mouth OF
Columbia in self-defense, as against
the enormous cost of channelling III
miles of water that wont stay dredged;
and then, perhaps, Astoria will come
into her own. Portlandss loss in such
an event would be merely that OF
prestige. Just why ship should
enter, and cross, magnificent,
fresh water harbor, and tow
that extraordinary distance up
the Columbia, and the Willamette,
with their negligible depths, to an
inferior and very restricted river
reach, dubbed by sheer courtesy, a
"harbor," is looming up as one OF the
real commercial problems OF the
Northwest, especially in San Fran
cisco, where the wholesalers are
livening up to the recovery OF the
trade they have lost to Portland
since the great FIRE.
It is one of those questions that
must be answered sooner or later and
the response must be very practical
and rational to satisfy hard-headed
men of business, with wealth and
energy to urge their quest for trade,
And it is likely that Astoria must
make answer on her own account

a demand if she shall have actual

We all know where this contro

who "have solved the transportation
problem of the Northwest; else she
will have to look in other directions
for new markets and Commercial

ed He soon realized that the bank
ers OF our state must also be enlisted
in this move, and promptly introduced
q resolution In the Mississippi Bank
ers' Association at its meeting at
Brookhaven. which secured the op-
pointment of committee Of bankers,
composed Of Hon. ToI Thomas, OF
Grenada; F. w. Foote. OF Hattiesburg,
and w. M. Anderson, Of Jackson, which
met In conference with Hon. Oscar
Newton, OF Brookhaven, president Of
the Mississippi Bankers Association,
and committee of Farmers Union
leaders. composed Of Hon. G. r. High
tower. N. A. Mott, q. w. Russell and
w. W. Welch. The joint committee
thus composed drafted a plan for
lending money on cotton. which has
been printed in pamphlet form and
distributed to all the banks. Mr.
Robertson was invited to this confer
ence and to large extent formulated
the report of the committee.
With the above report and the many
letters received by Mr.. Robertson, it
was soon found that there would have
to be some central organization in or
der to insure definite and uniform
methods on the part Of each and every
warehouse. The result was the forma-
tion of what is known as the central
committee, which Will promulgate
rules, regulations and systems for the
use Of all warehouses. no matter
where located, willing to accept and
pay for the services.
In order that the best results might
be obtained, it was absolutely neces,
sary to design and form a receipt for
cotton which would be negotiable
with ease and certainty one which
would guarantee that the holder Of
the receipt would be occasioned no
loss TO secure the right sort of ne
gotiable receipt the following points
had to be covered:
/. The cotton must safely stored.
2. The cotton must be protected
from the weather.
8. The identical bale Of cotton
must be re-delivered to the holder OF
the receipt.
4. The legal title to the cotton
must be in the holder of the receipt.
S. The cotton must be absolutely
protected from fire by insurance In q
good and financially responsible com
pany.
6. The holder of the receipt must
have some method of determining that
the same is genuine, and not a forgery.
Z. The holder of the receipt must
be assured that all the guarantees on
its face and all necessary precaution
to prevent error and loss, have been
taken, consistent with safe and sound
business principles.
In order that safety may be secured
in storing cotton, the warehouses must
be closed and SO made that they may
be securely locked. This Is done by
the erection of brick and iron
houses with good and substantial
doors, always to remain locked. and
no cotton to be allowed to be stored
on the platform or outside Of the ware
house. This sort of house will also
insure protection from the weather,
guaranteeing that the cotton will be
kept dry and free from rot and mold
One Of the risks to run is the substi
tuition Of bales. which might be done

FIRE At scHIck'S.
Mattress Factory Blaze Brings Out
Whole Department.

Fire broke out in the cotton sheds
of the William Schick mattress fac
tory at Second and Jackson streets
a few minutes before o'clock this
afternoon. The sheds consist of a
building so feet long by 1 5 feet in
breadth and is located on the alley
Immediately back Of the factory Be
tween two and three car loads of cot
ton were stored in the sheds and it is
hard to make an estimate of the dam
age done at the. hour of going to
press.
The fire was stubborn: quickly as a
steram of water was taken off of the
burning bales of cotton they broke into
flames again. The origin of the fire is
unknown but it is supposed to be the
result of spontaneous combustion. The
cotton in the sheds is valued at from
six to seven thousand dollars. A gen.
eral alarm was turned in.
Later the fire was finally checked
at 1920 with damage of about $1,000
fully covered by insurance. 1t did not
reach the main buildings, being con-
fined to the storage sheds. One of the
employees of the mattress company was

LEAVE 10 PRINT
Is Granted House Members Five
Days After adjournment.

Washington, May 26-Under sus-
pension of the rules the house to-
day adopted an order presented by
majority leader Payne, granting to
members leave to print for five days
after adjournment
Minority leader Williams opposed
the order. In his opinion the priyi-
lege was but reward to men who
are INSCRIPTIONS, men who are dis
honest in statements, men who are
careless and reckless of what they
are willing to say. He did not be-
lieve in matter going into the con-
gressional record that could not be
replied to.
The Republicans, he charged, intend
ed to try to defend the policy of doing
nothing. One reason, he said, why the
house had sunk so law was because the
congressional record had become so
bulky no one read it and the people
were compelled to get their informa-
ton of what congress was doing from
the press. The Republicans, he said,
had much to explain to the people.
Replying, Mr.. Payne declared that it
was more imperative that the order
pass this session because of the weeks
that have been wasted If that time
could have been used in intelligent de-
| bate, he said, there would have been
no necessity for the order.
THE gentleman talks about this side
making apologies" he said, great
| heavens if this side needs apology how
much more do you on that side need
time to make apology for the ruthless
waste Of timer"
The Democrats, he contended would
