Will the hotel and business men of
Seaside have proper life lines run into

your correspondent. More people visit
Beaalde during the summer months
than any other resort on Clatsop beach,
and yet there seema to be n Inexcus

more people would vlalt that delightful
resort If It was known that those who
are In business there looked after mat
ter of this kind as they do at other
less attractive places. The loss of one

Ir. Stelner, of The Dalles, who has

Rapid progress I being made all

Flavel are doing good work. The rails
being unloaded from the sunken barge
win soon be laid In the branch track
Which Superintendent Lester expects
to nnlh In a weeka' time. The Dwyer,
which carried the party to Warrenton,
also towed a barge load of spikes,
switch stands, connections and frogs,
and the work of laying the track from
the main line waa commenced at once.

Just now, and what with arranging for
additional trains, laying of the rails
across the bridge, and completing the
repairs on the old line, he haa little
time for loafing. There wa much dis
appointment yesterday when the ships,
m-hlch had Just arrived, passed War
renton and It was seen that they were
not the ones with railroad rails.
At Alder creek the men have cleared
a large tract and will soon have the
thirty acres, where the shops, round
house, car shops, water tanks, black
smith shop, turn tables and side tracks
for the grain cars are to be located,
ready for the engineers and architects
, GREATER ASTORIA.
At Flavel the new hotel is being rush
ed to completion. The rafters for the
roof are being put In place, the siding
Is on, window and door frames are be
ing finished, and In a few days the en
tire structure will be enclosed. Great
changes have been made In the appear
ance of the building In the last four
days, and the tall chimney for the
electric power house and steam heating
boilers Is nearly finished. Contractors
Bavlea and Palmberg are confident
that they can earn a premium on tne
work by finishing It ahead of the con
tract time limit At the meeting of
the directors yesterday steps were tak-l
en to let the contract for the velvet
carpets, furniture, and fixtures. No
pains or money are being spared to
make it a strictly fl rat-class house In
every detail. In the immediate vicin
ity of the hotel and the shops will soon
be laid the foundations for one of the
largest elevators on the coast, a Hour
mill, dry dock and saw mill.
Since another pile driver has been se
cured, Corey Brothers are making good
headway with the big raildoad dock at
Flavel, and hope In a few daya to have
enough of It finished on which to un
load the first cargo of steel rails. Ev
erywhere la Ufa and bustle and before
Astorlans know it there will be a new
town at her doors, which In truth will
be a part of the whole an Important
business portion of the greater Astoria.
Here will be a bank, newspaper, large
department stores, and every require
ment of the people who will do business
tn the new town. In another season
the wheels of commerce will commence
their busy hum in Flavel, and oft Its
docks will be anchored the merchant
marine ships of the world. The long
iheat trains from the Interior will un
load thel rwealth In the big elevators.
and the cars will be reloaded with the
product of sawmills, the traffic of the
Orient, and the coal of the lower Ne
halem. Connections will soon be open
ed through the Nehalem with the Wil
lamette Valley, and thence by a shorter
route with the East. The Ideal city of
commerce, to long cherished by Asto
rlans, in a few short years will be an
accomplished fact. 1896 will see great
changes made, and long strides taken
towards that final triumph sure to fol
low. That the centre of business and
heavy traffic may not be located Just
where many had hoped and desired de
tracts nothing from the general scheme
or its successful issue. There will be
one large Astoria, one port of the Col
umbia, one grand harbor, one commu
nlty bound together by indlssolulable
ties. If some are disappointed, per
haps they have only themselves to
blame, but time will certainly equalize
things.
It is thought that on one of the ships
loaded with steel has one or two Pull
man cars, which have been on exhibi
tion on an English railway, for the
A. and C. R. R. R. The new coaches
have arrived in Portland from the
east and will be shipped to Astoria
when needed. The Western Union
TeleerraDh Company Is arranging to
build the best line of telegraph between
Astoria and Seaside and Flavel ever
put up on the coast. At Flavel the
office will be In the new hotel, and the
Postal Company will also have a line
on the peninsula, with an office in the
hotel.
Notwithstanding the set-back of the
strike, and the general depression in
business, thi will be a memorable year
In Aatorla. Many great enterprlet
will have been commenced and an era
of activity Inaugurated that will never
cease.

Loa Angeles, June 19. Very earnest i
effort is being mode by the suffrage
women of Los Angeles for the relief of
Miss Phoebe W. Cousins, of St. Louts,

(It will be remembered that Miss

of lady managers of the Chicago

a memorable fight for certain privileges
for the sex which resulted in her being
deposed.
MURDERED FOR MONEY.
Seattle, June 29. A special to the
Post-Intelllgencer from Monte Cristo
says that Nathan Phillips, a pawn bro
ker of this city, has been shot, un
doubtedly fatally, by David Leroy, and
that the latter has escaped to the
mountains. A sheriffs posse It out af
ter him.
Phillips had gone to Monte Cristo to
sell jewelry, carrying his goods in a
satchel. Leroy met him on the rail
road track and grabbed for the satch
el. They struggled, then Leroy broke
away a few feet, drew a revolver and
shot his victim. Phillips fell and his
assassin ran down the track with the
satchel. It Is thought he Is heading
for British Columbia. There was JS00
worth of jewelry in the satchel. Leroy
is the son of a prominent claim owner
in Monte Cristo and has had a good
reputation. Phillips has made his will
and is dying.
AMERICAN SEAL HUNTERS.
The Restrictions to Be Placed upon
Them for the Flret Time Defined.
San Francisco, June 29. The United
States court of appeals decided today
that the Paris award, on matters per
taining to sealing In the Bering Sea,
must be upheld as the supreme law of
the land and that the United States
government has no right to make spe
cial laws governing Its citizens In hunt
ing seal that do not permit them equal
privileges with the citizens of foreign
countries on the sealing grounds.
The decision is Important, as it de
fines clearly for the first time the re
strictions to be placed upon American
seal hunters In Bering Sea.

Canton, Ohio, June 2. Ex-Governor
McKlnley was today officially notified
of hit nomination for president by
the committee appointed by the Repub
lican convention. Senator Thurston
made the notification speech. Gover
nor McKlnley made a fitting response.
In hit speech Senator Thurston said:
.Governor McKlnley Wa are here to)
perform the pleasant duty assigned ns
by the Republican national convention
recently assembled In Si. Louis, that
of formally notifying you of your nom
ination as the candidate of the Repub
lican party for president of the United
States. We respectfully request your
acceptance of this nomination and your
approval of the declaration of princi
ple adopted by the convention.
We assure you that you are thai
unanimous choice of a united party
and your candidacy will be Immediate
ly accepted by the country a an abso
lute guarantee of Republican success.
Your nomination has been made la
obedience to a popular demand, whose)
universality and spontaneity attest tha
affection and confidence of the "plain
people of the United States. ' By com
mon consent you are their champion.
This mighty uprising in your behalf
emphasizes the sincerity of their con
version to the cardinal principle of
protection and reciprocity as best ex
emplified In that splendid congression
al act which justly bears your name.
Under it this nation advanced to the
very culmination of prosperity, far sur-
' passing that of all other peoples and
all other times; a prosperity shared by
all sections, all Interests and all classes;
by capital and labor; by producer and
consumer; a prosperity so happily In
harmony with the genius of popular
government that its choicest blessings
were most widely distributed among
the lowliest tollers and the humblest
homes.
In 1S92 your countrymen, unmindful
of your solmen warnings, returned that
party to power which reiterated Its
everlasting opposition to a protective)
tariff and demanded the repeal of the)
McKlnley act They towed to tha
wind; they reaped the whirlwind.
The sufferings and losses and disas
ters to the American people from four
years of Democratic tariff are vastly
greater than those which came to them
from four years of civil war.
Out of it all one great good remains.
Those who scorned your councils speed
ily witnessed the fulfillment of your
prophecies and even as the scourged
and repentant Israelites abjured their
ttupld Idols and resumed unquestion
ing allegiance to Moaea and to Moses
God, to now your countrymen, shamed
of their errors, turn to you and to those
glorious principles for which you stand,
in the full belief that your candidacy
and the Republican platform mean
that the end of the wilderness has
come and the promised land of Amer
ican prosperity is again to them an In
sured inheritance.
But your nomination means mora
than the endorsement of a protective
tariff, reciprocity, of sound money and
of honest finance for all of which you
have so steadfastly stood. It means
an endorsement of your heroic youth;
your fruitful years of arduous public
Bervlce; your sterling patriotism, your
stalwart Americanism; your Chrtstlan
character, and the purity, fidelity, and
simplicity in your private life. In all
these things you are, the typical Amer
ican; for all these things you are the
chosen leader of the people.
God give you strength to so bear the
honors and meet the duties of that
great office for which you are now
nominated and to which you will be
elected, that your administration win
enhance the dignity and power and glew
ry of this republic and Becure the safe
ty, welfare and happiness of lta liberty
loving people.
Delegate-at-large Henry L. 'Wilson,
of the state of Washington, brother of
