WHY AsToRIA7

Will someone, (outside Of Portland
Of course) please tell US why Astoria
a city of $4,000 people, at the mouth
of the great Columbia river; at the
western terminus of two great trans
continental railway systems; with
splendid maritime facilities Of al
sorts; at the foot of thousand mile,
down-grade-water level haul, should
be the only port and point on the
upper Pacific coast without the
common-point rate on the grain OF
the northwest7
We doubt whether the question
will be deemed worth answering, so
plain, 50 palpable, SO logical, is the
affirmative nature Of the case. But
we ask it. just to emphasize the quail
Iity of resistance Portland is framing un
and working against it; just to show
the animus that actuates the metrop-
oils Of State that hopes to live and
( flourish upon the normal tribute OF
the lesser towns about it, and to IL
Illustrate the cause for the venemous
| fight Portland is making against AS
toria. There is but reason, in all the
philosophy of the hour, why we
should have the rate, and that is that
Portland will lose the Columbia
river shipping. Nothing else has
ever been raised against the project;
there is naught to raise, that will
stand for an instant.
But the fight is on; petition and
answer are on file at Washington
argument will ensue, and the ruling
will be made. If Astoria does not
get the common-point rate, there will
surely be a reason given then, that
will probably go farther to reconcile
tus to the denial, than anything We
have ever heard of yet. But we reserve
the right to take even that to the
supreme court, and there it will go
for the fight Of Astoria's very life
before we will cease striving for it

Mr.. sIMoNS NOMINATION.


While the matter OF Senator Sim
on's nomination for the mayoralty OF
Portland. is primarily. purely local
matter there. it has an effect out IN
the State, that means much. ii 1t IS
as significant as most of us hope /
is: 1t is taken, here, and nearli
everywhere else. as the FIRST definite
sign of the merging Republican in
terest in Oregon; the electorate
which gave him the nomination BY
such pronounced lead, is the largest
grouping Of Republicans in any one
field of the State, and the source
whence such things are first looked
for: and if this is the real inspiration
behind it, every man in the party
may be grateful to the Senator for
permitting the use of his name for
the Office, upon the two-fold hypot-
chests, that he will make a dignihed
well-poised, able mayor for the
metropolis, and that was fortun'
ate enough to inspire the move
ment that every honest Republican
| in Oregon has looked and longed fo'
these several years. Upon thes'
high grounds his election should b.
made unanimous as far as Republican
/ Portland is concerned.

SON KILLS FATHER.

Col. Robert L. Abernethy Of Castor
county, N. c., was killed by his son
Reuben, yesterday morning. The
Charlotte Observer of today tells the
story Of the tragedy through a Gasto'
MIA dispatch of yesterday as follows:
Open View farm in River Bend town
ship this county, eccentric stockman
farmer and politician, was shot anc
almost instantly killed at his home
near Mount Holly at o'clock this
morning after having fired three wilc
shots at his son, Reuben, aged 19, ano
III the course Of a fierce hand to- hano
struggle with the latter who was en-
deavoring to disarm him. One bulle,
entered the righ: temple and the 9TH
er struck him full in the forehead. He
never regained consciousness and dice
an hour later.
At an inquest held this afternoon
by jury empaneled by Magistrate w
B. Rutledge Of Mount Holly, a verdict
was rendered at o'clock to the effect
that Abernethy came to his death from
wounds afflicted by pistol In his own
hands. His son, who was placed un-
der arrest soon after the tragedy by
Deputy Sheriff j. S. Rogers pending
an Investigation, was released from
custody and the matter is doubtless al
an end so far as any legal proceedings
are concerned.
UP to the time the verdict was an
nounced all reports were to the effect
that Abernethy was shot by his son
but there was no eyewitness and
young Abernethy had made no state
ment until he testified before the jury

their steps and came on horse and
buggy tide In a deserted road. AS they
stood by the horse and buggy they saw
three men run towards them, where
upon they fed, being fired upon three
times. Hyman and his nephew ran
back to Hyman's house, where Lyman
stopped, the nephew going on further
down the road where he hid behind
clump of pines. A little later Hyman
saw buggy drive by his house In
the direction In which his nephew had
gone. He did not recognize the oc-
cupants Of the buggy, bit the nephew
later testified that he recognized the
horse and buggy as being the same
which he and his uncle had seen In
the woods and as one which Bigham
had been accustomed to drive. The
nephew further testified that he heard
Bigham speak to the horse as they
passed him on the road and recognized
his voice. Hyman also testified that
he went next day to the scene Of the
crime and the tree where he had
come upon the horse and buggy; that
he examined the tracks Of the horse,
which has some distinguishing marks,
and tracked the horse through the
woods into the road, and up the road
to his house and by the house to the
point where his nephew testified that
he recognized the rig and heard Big

Money is Plentiful.

Although quite we'll aware Of the
fact that there are many people who
will be more or less astonished at tn
assertion at the head of this article, 1t
is a fact, nevertheless that money Is
more plentiful this fall than 1t has been
at the same period for great many
years past and the situation is one
that should receive due consideration
at the hands Of thoughtful and prov
ident people.
We say that money is plentiful, for
the reason that we cannot understand
how it could be otherwise with 80 much
cotton selling at 12a and 13 cents, and
over. OF course, under existing condi-
tions this is no big price for cotton.
Supplies Of all kinds have been high
during the whole Of the year and they
are higher now than ever; but most
farmers have been as careful and
economical as possible, and although
in many cases the crop has been short,
it is reasonable to assume that there
should be enough money to pay all the
operating expenses of the year and
something to spare.
Unless we are making very serious
miscalculation, there should be more
surplus money this year than for some
time past, and if there is 1t will seek
investment along various lines. OF
course, it does not follow that the peo-
pie who make the money will invest
it. Many Of them are not provident
enough to try to save 1t. They will
all the surplus, or most Of it at least,
will get into the hands Of people who
will know what 1t Is for and there will
be large amount of it to invest.
There will be more or less money to
go into various industrial, financial and
mercantile enterprises, and also con-
siderable sums will probably go into
lands. In one way or another such in
vestments will go to conserve the prof
It's of the year just closing, and con-
tribute to additional prosperity in the
seasons to come when the profits on
the crops may not be so satisfact ,;y.
We shall not undertake to tell the
farmers Of this country what to do
with their money, as that is matter
that every man who has any should
decide for himself; but we will suggest
that while there are many investments
that can be made to advantage where
the investor has sufficient wisdom, one
of the best paying investments that
can be made at this or any other time,
is in Improvements on homes, premises
and farms. Money judiciously invest
ed in paint for dwellings, or terraces on
uplands, bitches in bottom lands, nee
essary farm machinery, and to sub
stantial and comfortable household
furniture, often pays better divide ads
than any other investment that can be
made.
It is up to those who find that they
have surplus money to make the best
possible use Of it.
