West Is For Bryan.

The west is essentially Bryan terri
tory. He is a son of the soil and is
of the west. and the west likes his poll
cies. II is in this section that he will
gain his greatest strength, and with
the vote that is being brought out
for him in the east the certainty of
his election is growing stronger every
day.
In the meantime, it takes money TO
do these things and money must be
raised by the people who expect TO
elect their candidate. 1t is the frs.
time that each individual voter has
been asked TO take a personal part IN
the election of a president. They
have been allowed and urged TO vote
before but this is the first time thar
the individual Democrats of the ccun-

other they should come forward With

From the very beginning Democrats
have expressed a fear that Maryland
might be lost. The sudden and unex-
pected change of the Baltimore. Sun
had an alarming effect on Democratic
confidence in that state, but sentiment
has changed again and sentiment is
wonderful thing, for confidence in
Maryland is now restored and while
conceding the city of Baltimore TO
Taft it is now agreed that the state
of Maryland will give its full elect
oral vote to Bryan and Kern.
The conservative analysis of the
situation in New York made by Walter
Weilman. a republican for republican
newspaper, also shows what a GER
tainty there is for the greatest vote in
the electoral college being cast for
the Democratic candidates. New York
has been leaning toward Bryan ever
since the republicans nominated
Hughes, and each day brings with II
fresh indications that the state VIII
give its vote to the Democratic ticket
this year. Hughes is not popular ana
the republicans have become unpopU-
lar in nominating him. The Demo-
Gratis have been fortunate in the selec-
ton of Chanler and the tide is turn
ing in the right direction. But Whine
the vote in republican states is un-
dergoing a process Of evolution which
will make Democratic states. the same
nrocess is being deyeloDed in the west.

But with our excellent railroad and
water transportation there is prob
ably no location Of greater excellence
for the manufacture Of all products
OF whea, and grain.
we can convince any responsible
miller or grain dealer that he can
control the flour and grain business
oi the Great Columbia River Basin
which drains one. sixth Of the total
area Of the United States from AS
toria by locating mill and ware
house here, Leading men in this
line everywhere are invited 70 make
a personal investigation. All our
local business men are back OF this
movement and those who overlook
this chance to increase business in
their line will probably neglect very
important opportunity.
1T ~ impossible TO negotiate 50
important deal as this by cores
poudcncc. Therefore, we cordially
invite you to visit Astoria in person,
first making an appointment 10 that
end so that we shall be prepared to
give you every consideration and at
tention upon your arrival.
I'VE do not say how large a -four
mill we wish established here but we
will negotiate with you on the basis
Of your establishing either large or
a small one. OF course, we would
prefer to have one established that
would manufacture from one TO two
thousand barrels day. The export
business of this port would easily JUS
Itiiy such mill
while we are depending most
largely upon the excellent advantages
Astoria affords for such manufactur-
ing rs an inducement TO secure the
mill we desire, yet we will give con-
,deration to a proposition looking
towards our furnishing a free site,
and il proposition submitted is OF
especial merit, Of taking stock.
"Thc natural growth Of Astoria as
sures that there will be a city Of at
least 100000 here within few years,
which statement we believe can easily
be verified as a matter OF good judg-
Imcnt by any one who will come here
and make personal investigation of
actual conditions.

A Flour Mill Propaganda.
We have sent out to every manu-
faeturer Of wheat -four in the United
States with the exception Of those To-
Gated in Oregon and Washington, the
following circular letter, there being
1868 of such manufacturers all told:
1--WE wish to call your attention to
the wonderful possibilities existing
\ for flour mill, Of either small or
nrgc capacity here in Astoria, the
rapidly growing port Of $4,000 people
at the mouth OF the Columbia River,
on the Pacific Coast Of Oregon,
This flour mill would have unex-
cellcd opportunities for domestic trade
and for export business. There is no
wagon wheat received in Astoria, it
being about 100 miles up the river
to the beginning OF the wheat fields.

that, while the ships meet the rail-
road al Astoria, the railroad refuses
to meet the ships there, and he is
compelled TO come to Portland for
his cargo.
What docs this signifyi Simply
this. The railroads haul wheat from
the inland empire to Tacoma, in miles
as far or farther than TO Astoria at a
giccn rate. In doing 50, they haul it
up mountain grade OF about 5000
feet and down again, about seven cars
to 'he engine, but refuse to haul it
fcr the same rate TO Astoria, the same
Or shorter distance in miles, water
level grade and 20 to 90 cars to the
engine physical conditions in favor
Astoria which would enable com
pcting line to haul 10 Astoria at a
rate that would absolutely put their
mountain route out Of business. In
other words, railroads insist upon re-
cciying for the shorter, water level
haul 10 Portland the same rate as for
the longer mountain grade haul to
Tacoma, an injustice to both Portland
and Astoria, in which they are aided
and abettcd by Portland organizations
and press.
Injustice is rather too tender a
word to define this condition OF
affairs, but refrain from stronger
one for the sake Of good form, and
the feelings OF Mr.. Harriman's stock
holders, who are the only ones not
defrauded by the transaction, while
the farmer, whom we all profess to
love, is the principal sufferer.
I'VE will probably see, upon the
completion OF the north bank road,
the anomalous condition of wheat
passing through Portland to Tacoma
$50 miles longer haul than to Astoria)
at the same rate as for the Portland
haul, and Astoria still refused com
mon point advantages.
Astoria should have her rights
common point rates on wheat, and
every man jack in Portland should
insist upon it, for SO long as we sup
port unfairness on the part of rail
roads to Astoria, what face have We
for cursing Hartman for not devel
oping other parts of the Slater
mo one understands Portland's in
consistency on the Astoria transpor-
tation problem better than Mr.. Har-
riman, and understanding it, no one is
in better shape to administer to her
horse doctor doses of her own medi-
cine"
