is a conceded fact cotton
seed meal is a cheaper and
more effective fertilizer than
cotton seed. According to
chemical analysis of EACH. se6
pounds of cotton seed meal
are equivalent to 200o pounds
of cotton seed, but owing
to the superior mechanical
condition Of meal, it is safe to
assume that 900 pounds of meal
are the full equivalent to one ton
of cotton seed, therefore, what.

THE PORT FIRST

Without the necessity for spend
ing a million or more of money fol
its formal establishment, the setting
up Of the Port OF Astoria, by its own
people, will be a long step toward
the accomplishment Of many another
good and expedient thing for the city
and section. 1t is mere matter OF
popular authority that is wanted to
make this a fixed and useful adjunct
to our commercial development; a
matter OF progressive voting and sub
sequent careful oversight.
As a port, in the legal sense of the
term, Astoria will be in position to
do much more for herself than at
present, and, as The Oregonian says,
we can advertise" the harbor with
direct and definite purpose and to
ends amply provided for. As it is,
our waters are but highway, an
unregulated haven, a marine station
safe, commodious, accessible, but ut
terly unadapted to the huge scope OF
usefulness that might be wrought,
not for ourselves entirely, but for
the whole Columbia Basin, including
Portland and the Willamette Valley.
The port commission may be
made the clearing agency for the
sea-wall and all other great and small
accessories in the way of permanent
improvement and commercial expan-
sion; and, as basis for such devel-
opment, we know of nothing to COM
pare with this busines-like and ap-
propriate action on the part Of As
torians, who of all people on the
earth are entitled to what benefits
appertaain to an organic port. We
urge it in the best OF faith, for the
common good, by way Of its essen
tiality, and for tie security it will
add to our future demands, actions
and interests, as they unfold with the
immense future Of the Northwest.
We do not have to invest single |
dollar to put ourselves in the initial
we may take our time at !
out the details of establish
ment and equipment, if we but take
over the lawful and composite rights
that belong to US.

LAW FIRST, LAW LAST

The Columbia salmon fisheries are
badly hedged in a triangle Of law,
with two State codes and the federal
statutes looming large and at present
at wide variance. But we believe in
the law, and that it may be made to
unravel the snarl for which it is re-
sponsible.
The fact that the Constitutions of
Oregon and Washington give each
State concurrent jurisdiction, for
criminal procedure, over the two
banks of the Columbia River should
have operated to preserve a better
and safer condition than now prevails,
especially in the matter of the fisher
les. But since the legislation Of each
State has departed widely from that
organic footing and conduced to an
inextricable mess it is the duty OF Our
people and those Of Washington to
see to it that these great preserves
and the valuable industry they stand
for are not sacrificed to false pride
and an insensate greed.
There is plenty Of law, business ac-
umen and common honesty to save
the situation from the extremes Of
criminal confusion il those at interest
will put good citizenship and great
two-State trade above the promptings
