been charged 81 bottle for beer that

lind herthiug and docking room here,
at the only real harbor in the Co
lumbia Basin.
4 "harbor" that chokes at three
scores OF ships certainly has limita-
tons that will require millions OF
money to enlarge; and in the case OF
Portland there is lacking the inspira-
ton for such enormous expenditure
that goes readily in port that owns
from one-half to seven-eights OF the
tonnage centering there. Portland
owns practically none OF the vessels
that do business out OF there, and
the task OF remodelling her harbor
will be waiting one, so far as Multi
nomahns are concerned.
There are but two alternatives to
this problem as it presents itself at
this time, The shipping must be
done at the mouth of the Columbia
river; or at any, or all, OF the dozen
fine harbors in Puget Sound, We
shall be glad to take care OF anything
Portland cannot, and Astoria has
room galore for dozen such fleets as
stagger the capacity OF that port"
With the Union Pacific (tired OF re-
batting and holding up ditferentials in
favor of the Port OF Portland), going
over to the Sound to do business on
parity with its rivals, the Hill lines,
and the Hill lines coming to Astoria
for adequate terminal facilities, Port
land is indeed ''up in the air.

HARBORS AND SLOUGHS.

The Portland Oregonian, of Tues
day last, sounded an editorial warn
ing to the shippers of that port in rela-
ton to the cramped condition of the
Portland "harbor" and the suggestion
that Hill interests might have to 60
elsewhere on the Willamette or the Co
lumbia for facilities; and, incidentally,
admitted that much must be done,
and quickly, if the commerce of the
North Bank" road is to be handled
out of that city.
The truth of the business is, the
river-basin fronting that city has beer
taxed to its utmost this season with ;
beggarly half hundred ships and th'
fear is perfectly natural that unles
ample and expansive work is dom
there by way of widening both tn
"harbor" and its channels, anothe
season will find its gates shut to
far bigger feet, and the excess mus

cLATSoP.TILLAMooK ROAD.

Tillamook people are anxious for
highway connection with Astoria and
the mouth of the Columbia
Astoria is equally anxious for the
same benefit and it is believed in
quarters nearest to such matters,
that another year will see the con-
summation OF these desires,
There are two routes under consid-
Grafton in the two counties: The
: back-route, running from point
about two miles east of Push in this
county to junction with the road
already constructed on the Tillamook
side, and to point on the North
Fork of the Nehalem, with the main
bridge across that stream. This
will make the Buchanan trail avail
able for all who desire to use it COM
ing north. The adoption of this line
will leave Clatsop with IS miles to
build, and including bridges and cul-
verts and all materials, will cost ir
the neighborhood of $1,000 per mile
Tillamook having completed her sec
ton to the boundary.
The other, or outside route, follows
the ocean beaches from point to
which Clatsop has built on the Elk
Creek road, and with a bridge across
that creek, will utilize the beach as
far south as Arch Rock, leaving one
and a half miles for this county to
complete to the southerly line; the
entire Tillamook section yet to be
built by that county; and being equal
in scope, Is miles, to that yet to be
constructed by Clatsop on the inside
road.
We believe the inside route to be
the best, because it will be perma-
nent, year-round course, while the
ocean route IS useable only during the
summer seasons, owing to the tidal
impediments of the winter. The beach
line will be wonderfully attractive for
tourists and will certainly be built in
due time; but the business road is
what we want and what Tillamook
wants. A quick, direct and always
available road that can be used for
the interchange of commodities and
commerce, and bring the people Of
the counties into liyelier and more
constant intercourse, that means
something beside mere pleasure
seeking. 1t is Of great importance to
all concerned and the courts of both
counties will be amply justified in
despatching the enterprise as rapidly
as possible, as an inter-county high
way will mark the embodiment of new
business of value for each of the
communities and unity the interests
that are now remote and strange for
the want Of just some such direct
communication.

Bachelors.

Bachelors are cultivated in all large
cities. They live in bachelor apart,
ments and bungalows. They can be
seen during the day in counting houses
and on golf links, and in the evening
at dinner parties and poker games.
Bachelors at one time were easily
caught with almost any kind of bait,
and swallowed, bait, hook, sinker and
ALL often at the first throw Now, how
ever, they are becoming much more
wary, and hide in the depths of their
bachelor apartments or in deep pool
rooms from which they cannot be
lured.
They are gregarious in their habits,
running in schools, but they stand by
each other, and it is very unusual to
find a solitary one. Occasionally, how.
ever, more foolish and overconfident
specimen will poke his nose into a
summer resort, when he is promptly
landed.
Bachelors are in reality the bulwark
of the nation. By not getting married
they do not raise families. Families,
as we know, are constantly consum-
ing our natural resources. Bachelors
are, therefore, really providing more
natural resources for the few. Their
conduct, it will be seen, is thus quite
unselfish.-Life.
