WHAT ASTORIA HAS NOT.

While the good things OF life, in
the way Of prime health, equable eli
mate, pure and endless water sup
plies, rich soils, varied and abundant
natural resources, superb scenery,
and myriad other elements that
contribute to comfort, pleasure and
prosperity, have fallen to the lot OF
Astoria, there are things she has not;
among them are foods, cyclones, fires,
earthquakes, blizzards, pestilences,
panics, extreme poverty, idle decent
people, and such burdens as are
borne by the congested communi-
ties in the East and Middle West
and South; and these exemptions are
deeply priced.
We have our short measures, OF
course; there are scores OF things
that we wish for and strive for and
work to; but for anything abnormal,
oppressive and crippling, we have
not. There is not community in
the State that can boast more ready
to-hand, Indigenous, common and
practical advantages than this city
and county can show.
We have the same old human way
OF growing and yearning and scrap
ping for just little the best OF the
bargain" but when we figure out our
real status, we find we are well on
the lucky side of things. The situa-
ton should be studied out more, to
be understood and realized.

pect Street with only few steps OF
ascent
The interior of the John Hay Ii
brary has been planned on the basis
OF suggestions made hy the librarian
after months OF study, including a
tour Of inspection made in company
with an architectural expert TO the
principal libraries Of the East The
problem was TO provide accommoda
tions for 200 readers, 100000 volumes,
rooms for various special Libraries
and for study, and for the different
branches OF the library administra-
tion.
The requirements have been ful-
filed in accordance with the modern
idea in planning Libraries and muse
ums OF inviting the public to make
use of the treasures of literature and
art. There was time when a librar-
ian OF Harvard College announced
with satisfaction on Saturday after
noon that every book but one was
back on the shelves and that he was
sending messenger for that one.
The newer point OF view is to make
the literary collections as accessible
as possible: II will be noticed that
in the John Hay Library the rooms
visited by most users Of the library
are on the first floor. Practically all
except the large exhibition room, are
on this floor. The administration OF
the rooms open to the public, in fact,
the building is conferred on the verti-
cal series Of rooms Of which the cata-
lcguers' room is midway, and these
rooms are connected with one another
and with the stack by lift and by
stairs. The stack will contain some
250,00o volumes, and $4,000 volumes
will be contained in other parts Of the
library. 1t is expected that pneuma-
tic cleaning will be installed through
out the building. The department
libraries will be accommodated in the
old building, which will communicate
with the new and thus make available
to readers in either building the re-
sources of the other.

ELECTRIC TO NEHALEM.

Next Saturday the good people of
Clatskanie are going to tackle their
old and promising scheme OF tapping
the Nehalem country with an electric
railway, with junction at Clatskanie
on the A. & C., and we hope they
may master the situation and win
out. With the Astoria, Seaside &
Tillamook line from here, and the
east-county route, breaking into the
splendid and isolated region to the
southard, the treasures of that milk
and honey" land will be soon spread
ing themselves where they will do an
infinite amount of good to the whole
country and yield something like an
adequate return to those who have
developed them and those who want
them. The following is taken from
Fridays Clatskanie Chief, and we
trust, means far more than the earlier
ventures that have gone before:
"On the front page of the Chief this
week notice is given by the Colum-
bia Power Company to the people of
Clatskanie and the Nehalem Valley
of mass meeting called to discuss
the building Of an electric railroad
between the two points to connect
with the A. & C. Railroad at this
place. We are informed that promi-
nent capitalists will be present to
explain in detail the plans Of the
company and that capital is ready to
finance the undertaking and work
will begin at an early date if satisfac-
tory right of way and other pre-
liminaries can be arranged.
For many years the building Of a
railroad has been as a bright ray of
hope to the people of the Nehalem
Valley, only to be shattered in due
course of time by the railroad COM
panies, which, after making various
preliminary surveys and finding what
oNSAAA$N w DC Pl 0StASol SlduC
through the hills, finally abandoned
the scheme and nothing was ever
heard of it again.
"Too long has this condition exist
ed already The future of this sec
ton depends upon a railroad to mar
ket its products. With billions of
feet Of the finest timber in the coun-
try standing in its virgin state; with
fine, large farms, dairies and orchards
in high state Of cultivation and pro-
duction, and a well populated district
covering some 40 to so miles to draw
on, why would not a railroad pay as
well now as it would under present
conditions five to ten years hence, for
come it must from some direction in
the near future.
Whether the proposition to be
made by the Columbia Power Com
pany will carry remains to be seen,
but the issue is live one and should
be given every encouragement un-
less proven unworthy. We urge the
people to attend the meeting next

Mr. Charles A. Johnson is announced

Johnson is one of our most reliable clti-
zeus, is courteous and accommodating

many positions of trust and responsible

Senator Campbell's resolution to levy
production tax. as proposed by the Tax
Commission, on coal, oil and gas was de-
feated in the Senate. A big fight is be-
ing made on the Dog Law. As the Pro-
hibition Amendment was defeated in the
Senate the Governor will recouvene the
Legislature to anact local option law.
The new registration law will probably
go to the House this week. 1t is gener-
ally expected that this session will not
last more than week or ten days longer
as the bill limiting counties to 33-5c levy
is being pushed through by the Admins
tration element under whip and spur,
regardless of the needs of the counties.
