ASTORIA AND THE A. & c.

The Astoria & Columbia River Rail
road was born in this city; il began
and was wrought. here; the best
sense and strength of this community
was given to its inception, creation
and thorough achievement; this city
and section feel righteous concern
and near interest in the road and its
future: because it sprung, primarily
from the business-heart of Astoria
and must, forever, be inseparable
from that natural and devoted regard
which exists under such conditions.
The fact that it has passed to outside
hands does not in the least affect the
situation, so far as Astoria's share N
its future goes; we have an inalienable
right to figure in its benefits and prof
Tits and successes, since we made the,
road, and have contributed faithfully
to its progress and must continue to
do so through the years; we are the
second community in population
wealth and influence on its line, and
we are not forgetting it.
Therefore are we so frank in our
structures, once in awhile; especially
when the uncomfortable conviction Is
borne in on US that we are being
Disseminated against; an idea that

THE COMMERCIAL FARMER

The action of the Farmers Coop
erative and Educational Union, Of the
Inland Empire in demanding the ex-
tension Of the common-point rate on
grain and foodstuffs, to Astoria, and
the abolition Of the differential Of
nine cents per hundred-weight now
prevailing against this port and N
favor Of the Puget Sound ports Is
one Of those cIear-cut almost start
lingly impressive, departures that m
frequently occur to advise the busi-
ness world Of the paramount force
of the farmer in commerce,

fcance in the realm Of commerce and

future.
Be this as it may the project has
been cleverly handled, and the whole
Northwest is alive to the promise d
another common-point port on the
upper coast that shall mean some
thing far more than ever Portland
meant to the business, by sheer ac'
comodation and despatch. Thus the
~commercial-iarmer" looms largely
and intelligently and with signih'
cance that may not be sneered moi
frowned nor bull-dozed out of coun
tenance and effect. Astoria has

TERRITORIAL FAIR.

Judging from the attendance at, and the general interests manifested in the two exhibitions held under the ans Dices of the Territorial Faif Commis- sion. one in November, 1907, and one in November, 1908, ! may say, as said to the Assembly in 1907, that tIs establishmsIt and maintenance of this institution has been fully justified.
 There are some defects, however in the organization of the Commis- sicn, which have developed frcm some faults in administration.
 Tn order to remedy these defects and to provide a better a-tniHistFl- tive Board, I recommends ta you aa amendment of the present EIw, vheFs by the number oi the Commissioner shall be increased 10 five instead or three. as now.
