WEEKLY ASToRIAN.

fiasco generally, il may be well for
the Astorian TO do some thinking
along the line OF municipal govern
ment 'by commission" the system OF
civic control and administration that
lis rapidly superceding the old coun-
cilmanic program, including the may
orally, with its yolumnous and diver
siied powers and range OF irrational
procedure and notable inefficacy,
The civic commission calls for the
the trained business man in single
relation, to which he can devote his
best knowledge and experience with
out having to take note and charge
of issues and matters OF complex and
unusual concern to him. Depart
mental work is segregated and placed
in hands capable of disposing OF it
correctly, safely and economically,
directly amenable TO the people, with
no chance to share, evade nor dis
count the official liability attaching to
the particular post and function to
which he is especially elected,
Portland is making a movement to
secure this new and ideal government
and every city of size and promise in
the state should be seriously thinking
out the excellence and security insep-
arabic from the principle and proce-
dure to which the best and biggest
municipalities OF the country have
turned for relief and progressive
bases.
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1908-08-16
MAY BE SIGNIFICANT.

The final conveyance OF the fine
waterfront property on the south
shore of Young's Bay, $500 feet pier
head frontage by 5000 in depth, by
F. s. Stanley to the Oregon Railway
& Navigation Company, at this time,
has tinge OF significance when lot
OF collateral circumstances are taken
into consideration. The visit OF the
Director of Maintenance and Opera
ton, Julius Kruttschnit, Of the Harri-
man system, just preceding the trans
fer of the terminal site, and evidently
made on his order; the fact that the
o. R. & n. wants a dock and station
in that neighborhood; the movement
for an electric line that will, in all
probability, bisect that terminal site
on its way to Seaside and Tillamook;
the timely coming OF A, B. Hammond
to this port and the fact Of his i'm
mense timber holdings in the Ne
halem country; the summonng OF
Mr.. Stanley to meet Mr.. Hartman
at Pelican Bay, simultaneously with
the passing of the land, all contribute
quota OF interest in the transaction,
whether they are severally, remotely,
or intimatly, interviewer in the
scheme of development that is felt
to be on foot here.
The people OF Astoria will be glad
to know that somthing in the way OF
real competition is to arise in the
transportation interests hereabout,
for the good that must come to the
CITY and section when such concerns
as the n. P. and S. P get to hustllng
each other for advantage and profit
It is also said that the O. R. & N.
is looking to a way Of expediting the
handling of salmon direct from the
canneries about the bay, and this may
have something to do with the new
turn of affairs on the West Side; but
whatever is behind it land there is
something of moment) it will un-
doubtedly manifest itself plainly by
fall, and we shall have cause for
satisfaction if it shall point to the
opening up Of the Nehalem country,
now the chiefest proposition to every
one in Clatsop county, especially
since the Lytle road into the Tilla-
nook has been "side-tracked."
