A BAILBOAD EXCURSION

soflth Coast B. B.
Tit 12 MtST TltZlX TO ki:.lbIE.
Yesterday morning at SSOaparty
of director and stockholders, invited
guests and members of the press, left
here on the atcamcr Electric and a
barge lowed by .-steamer, for an
j excursion over the new railroad to
Seaside, ju less than half an hour,
l!u steamer and barge had arrived at
the pier at the end of the trestle work
in Young's bay, and the passengers
had vi alked eighty feet up the incline
to the top of the wharf.
Here was in waiting engine No. 2G,
known as the Frank J. Taylor, of
which J. Franzeu is engineer and J.
Stewart fireman, and one passenger
car known as the Dundee, made by
the company, and of peculiar construc
tion, divided into three compartments.
Thomas Hennessey was conductor,
and when all were 'seated, or rather,
all were on board, for ihero was not
sealm," canacitv for all. the train
1 .started at !:10 a. m.
The length of Ihe trestle is one and
a quarter miles, and soon after this was
traversed a short stop was made to
view the preparatory work being done
for the construction of a turn table for
the locomotives.
Then on we go across the low lands
within the dke, which prevents them
from being overflowed, pass over sev
eral bridges which span the numerous
wiudingbloughs, then over the draw
bridge, across bkipanon creek, and we
are at Warrentou. Several new build
ings are in course of erection, one of
them, a fine store, with pnblie hall
above, owned by D. K. Warren. Large
numbers of ties for the use of the road
are piled up here, and on side tracks
are a dozen or more Hat cars. A new
street has been laid out, and is neatly
boidered with a row of shade trees on
either side.
Leaving Wairenlon, the quiet,
sedate little town of Skipanon is left
at our left, and we go skipping on (not
copyrighted). For nearly three miles
the road runs perfectly straight,
mostly through a dense 'forest with
thick underbrush and evidences of
swampy land in the numerous pools of
water near the track. The cut throngh
the timber looks fine from the dis
tance, as if it was a narrow path cut
through a solid wall or rock.
Emerging from the timber, the open
country is reached, with cozy farm
houses scattered along at intervals,
and the county road winding clo?e to
the track. A little farther on is a
peculiar natural formation, which if it
had been constructed expressly for the
use of the railway, could not have
been better planned.
For about five miles there is a ridge
avcrairinir twentv feet in heirlith.
rounded at the sides and about thirty
feet in width on the ton. nvidentlv
formed long years ago by the action of
tne waves or sun ottue ocean, winch is
a mile or less distant. This is of sand,
but in later - ears has been pmdnnllv
covered with soil, so that grass, wild
uowers, vines and shrubbery are grow
ing thereon. The general"lineotthe
ndire is straiirht. and on this f 1ir mil-
road is built for about five miles.
Eleven miles from the start in r nmnf
is traversed and the Y Is reached,
where a line branches to Min lrfh nul
is graded some ten miles in the direc
tion oi ilillsboro, ready for the ties
and rails, with the exception of two or
three small creeks which will require
bridging.
One and a half miles more and 3un
ney's grove is reached. This is where
the road, still keeninir on the natnral
ridge passes through a dense forest.
Several acre3 have been cleared of
fallen timbers and thick underbrush
so that it is a splendid location for a
picnic ground, and through it a road
has been made, leading to the beach,
only a little more than a quarter of a
mile distant. A side trade is to be
put in and a station erected at once,
so that it will be ready for a picnic or
excursion party who may desire to
visit the place.
On we cro down an easv nrnde nnd
soon the grand old Pacific ocean in
all its vast beauty and grandeur is
close at hand, when we turn to the
right, and are at the bank of the
Ohanna creek, 14 miles from the start
ing point, the present terminus of the
road, arriving at 10:lo, one hour and
five minutes on the wav. for we came
slow and made several stops.
Mostoflho road is laid with 50-lb.
steel rails, that from the Y to the end
being 10-lb. iron rails. The road bed
is well constructed, and when it. is
consideied that most of it has been
bnilt within two months, and 7inf. vnt.
ballasted, it may well be said to be a
good piece or work, reflecting credit
ably on the contractors and their able
assistant, w. T. iievendge.
More rails are dailv exneeted. and
as soon as received will be laid over
a mile farther, which will reach
Grimes'. Leaving the train some on
foot and some in wairons continued to
the little town of Seaside. Several
cottages have recently been erected,
anu a number 01 nouses more or less
inviting in appearanco are prepared to
receive boarders,
A ride to the beach is offered and
quickly accepted. Crossing Necani
cmn creek on a brido-n of nnnionf wm.
struction and dilapidated appearance,
unmes' uotei is seen in the edge of a
grove, and beyond this a short and
pleasant drive . through the trees.
and here is the beach.
Awav UP the coast for miles it is nparlv
straight, but below it curves inland,
then the rocky, nigged Tillamook head
projects far out into the sea, forming
a little bay. Beyond the head is seen
plainly the lonely Tillamook rock, on
the summit of which is the fine light
house. It can be seen nlainlv bv the
naked eye, and still plainer through a
glass looms up against the skytlie
shapely tower and the huce derriflr
which lifts to the rocky sides the few
visitors wuo approach only from the
ocean to the lonely seagirt isle, around
and acainst which the waves are pxpt
chanting their sad requium.
At Austin's liotel is a young sea lion
not a week old, winch had just been
caught by the boys, and which utters
frequently a plaintive cry as if calling
for his absent mother. He takes to
a milk diet, as naturally as a calf, and
seems to court recognition from vis
itors. A hasty stroll through the grounds,
time enough to look at the dozen
houses which form the little village,
and the start for the return is made.
At 11:33 a. 11. conductor Hennessy
gives the signal, engineer Fnmzen
pulls the throttle and away goes No.
26, homeward bound. Two or three
6tops are taken and at 1230 r. m. we
are at Young's bay, 55 minutes on the
road.
The steamer is not at hand and a
few minutes waiting was passed
agreeably in viewing the mingled
scenerv of land and water, mountain
and river, seen at an advantage from
me ena 01 me pier, ana in being pno-tographed.

PRACTICAI. TESTS.
1b Astonishing OiTor-
-Some of tfca
Replies.
The Saa Francisco papers of recent date
contained the folio wing effer:
"As an evidence ol tho ability of Joy's
Vegetable Sarsapaxilla to prevent sick head
aches, wo will give to tho first twelve re
sponsible persons who will apply at our office
a bottle Irec if they will apreo that after
they have been cured that they will admit
the fact over their signatures."
This offer so startlingly asserted the efll
ciency of tho remedy that many accepted,
and" the letters of the parties, nearly all of
whom responded, are probably the most
convincing attestations that any remedy
ever received. The following Is a sample of
those received:
I have been subject to blllous'hcadachM
and constipation for several years past; ia
fact, have been compelled totakea physic
every other night or else I would have -headache
and dull, mean feeling.- I have
talen that bottle of Joy's Vegetable Sarse
p&nlla, and have derived great benefit from
it, and intend continuing ft. After my owa
experience I can heartily advise those tto

A HIED MESS REAL ESTATE TRAXSFERS. JUNE 12.
Nothing Definite as to the Bailroal
Situation,
C. J. nUXTZXGXOXAXn WM. ItlED.
However satisfactory it would be to
be able to say that "it is all right," yet
the facts of the case in the matter of
the railroad are that the thing is still
unsettled and indefinite. No such
letter was received by C. W. Fulton as
that alleged to have been received
from C. P. Huntington.
"At present Huntington andBied are
having considerable correspondence
on the subject of the Astoria & South
Coast Railway Co., and until this cor
respondence assumes tangible shape,
the matter will remain in abeyance.
Here are the real facts.
In Ried's last letter to Huntington
he claims that the by-laws of the com
pany preclude the making of any such
agreement as that recently made be
tween Huntington and the directors
of the Astoria & South Coast Railway
Co. In Huntington's reply to Ried
he says that he knows of no such re
strictions, and that in a rather intim
ate knowledge of railway affairs and
the by-laws of railway companies he
"had never known of any Buck clause
as the one Ried citei
This correspondence between Messrs.
Huntington and Ried is mora interest
ing than satisfactory, nnd the sooner
if is terminated the better all
round.
When the Astoria delegates visited
Hnnlington in Portland it was defi
nitely understood that he would take
cafe of Ried. Ho now writes that
matters have not definitely shaped
themselves, and that Ried is not
acquiescent.
The latter gentleman is not in an
"-enviable position. By his own act
and entirely throngh his own fault he
has alienated the trust and belief of
the Astoria people. It is an un
pleasant statement to make, but The
Astoriax speaks of a man as it finds
him, and its experience with Mr. Reid
is that he evinces, to say the least, a
chronic disposition to dally with the
truth, and bj' his uniform conduct ap
pears to think it a necessary part of
every business proposition and agree
ment that somebody must be lied to.
Perhaps the best way to deal with
him is to let him have and hug his
famous contract, eighth section
and all, and as he seems disposed to
insist on his pound of flesh, let him
cut his exact pound of flesh as nomin
ated in the bond, but exact from him
that in so cutting it -he shed not one
drop of blood, like unto" the priucipal
character in the Merchant of Venice.
Mr. Ried has had a chance to get eut:
that chance is still open; should he
ueuuuu iu iiviiii uuusuii. ul iue unuuciui
opportunity how easy to let him take
the empty husk and make additional
arrangements with Huntincton to
build entire, discarding and icrnorimr
Lany railroad work heretofore done or
contracted for by Ried. In that case
he would be in the consomme.
Ried telegraphed yesterday that he
had succeeded in the sale of those
bonds, that the contraot was signed in
London on behalf of an English syn
dicate last Wednesday. In a letter
yesterday aftduoon he confirms his
telegram of the morning regarding the
alleged sale of the bonds.
If such were the case; if ho had or
has succeeded in doing what he de
clares he has done, it is a matter of
mutual congratulation, but the fact
that he so definitely asserts it is, of
itself, in tho writer's opinion, sufficient
ground for discrediting the statement,
or at least for deferring acceptance of
its truth till reliably conobofated.
He also telegraphs that tho Portland
boat left earlier yesterday than he
supposed, but that he would be down
on Monday next
Sale of Cans.
In Capt Flavel's warehouse since
March 1st, '88, have been stored 2,893
cases of 48 salmon cans each. Yester
day, pursuant to an advertisement, the
whole lot were sold to pay storage
charges, amounting to $722.25. Several
canncrymen were present Tho lot
was knocked down to B. A. Seaborgat
34 cents apiece, this including the case
and the cans. Mr. Seaborg got a bar
gain. The cises, as they stood, cost
$1.15 each, and were considered to be
worth 75 cents apieco.
Probably a Hoax.
From a bottle which drifted ashore
at Seaside yesterday a water stained
paper was extracted, which contained
the follewing:
Pacific Oceak, 15 May, 1893.
Steamboat Tray ready to sink: 12 men
aboard; only 2 boats 89 N. B. B. .'oided

Too Cheap to Be Good.
A young man of pleasant address
was in Toe Astoriax office yesterday
endeavoring to effect a sale of several
hundred copies of "Webster's Tin
abridged" dictionary for $2.20 each, to
be given as premiums to subscribers.
The book that he had as a sample is a
bulky one; it is too cheap to be good.
It is poorly printed on a pulp paper
and wretchedly bound. The contents
are a reprint of the edition of 1847.
People buying it are getting a book
40 j ears behind the times, and The
Astoriax has no -wish to foist so an
cient a lot of truck on its readers.
Tho agent boasted that he had sold
600 copies to the Oregonian. Not un
likely. If he will secure a book that
is more up with the times Tire As
toriax will take a big batch of them;
but a dictionary is no good unless it is
in line with the progress of the day,
and the B. C. specimens that the
young man offers at $2.20 are back
numbers. One might as well have a
last year's almanac

WASHixaTox, May 24, 1890. )
Iu wiew of the act of congress, ap
proved April 11, 1890, amending the
One hundred and Third article of war,
a release from the army will bo fur
nished, upon application, to each de
serter coming within the provisions of
the act
The applicant will be required to
file an affidavit stiting whether he has
absented himself from the United
States while in desertion; and if it
shall appear from the affidavit or
otherwise that he has so absented
himself, the time or his absence will
be deducted from the two yean' lim
itation. A Still Rrttcr Edition.
When the Astoria Abstract Title
and Trust Co. issued their splendid
map of the city, and all its numerous
additions, it looked as though there
was nothing moro to be desired in
that line, but they have issued a
second edition in which they have
managed to improve upon the orig
inal by coloring the several additions.
A neater piece of work was nover
seen in Astoria and experienced map
makers say that it far surpasses pre
vious efforts at issuing similar maps
in California and elsewhere.
Those who have already pnrchased
copies of the map can secure tho new
and improved map free of charge, by
exenanging tne one tiiey now havo
for the colored one.
A Salmon Ship 3ILvsin.
Considerable speculation is still
being indulged in as to tho fato of tho
the. H. fftistedo which took on
board 60,000 cases of salmon at the
wharf here. It is said that her cap
tain before leaving declared that ho
was going to beat the Ti ta n ia and tho
best time ever made for the trip home.
The conviction here is that she has
been lost with all on board, having
listed in a storm, and being unable to
right herself. Had sho not gone right
down to the bottom in this way, it is
said that pieces of her wreck or some
of her masts would have been found
before this. Victoria Colonist.
