The communication from the offi cials" of the Astoria & South Coast railway was read and eagerly dis cussed. The result of the discus sions was that the Salem people are ready for a conference with the As forlans regarding the formation of a ble. The Astoria railway projectors sig nify their willingness to co-opernto with the peopie of the valley in the immediate construction of the line, and are no less enthusiastic over the subject than are the valley residents. The newspapers are all talking up tho route, as may be seenLy the appended paragraphs. Salem's board of trade is wide awake. It is making an 4cllbrt to encourage the-buikling of a railroad from Saleii? to Astoria. Pendleton East Oregonian. Yes : and it seems like her awakening had a signifi cance.

We botji want u nnu tne lucky one receives a true bonanza; A Columbia river' exchange says wheat Is wqrth - four Cellos 'more at Albany than at Salem, simply be cause Salem has to ship through Portland, while Albany ships via Yaquinn. Such as'the above appear in our exchanges constantly to re mind us what a valuable Institution the O. P. is to this part of the valley. Albany Democrat. Which, taken ns a whole, forces us to a realization of what vast importance it is that Salem secures the Astoria route to connect with the O. P. We must have it. This is ofticlal. A railroad from tho Willamette valloy to Astoria would send mhiiy milium bushels ofwlioac whirling down to a deep sea port where the wheat is worth a dojlar a bushel, aboard. Astorlan. With a road "from Salem to the sea" our wheat market would be excelled by noiie in the volley. UNIVERSITY NOTES. Points of Personal Mention mid Notes '" of News.1 L. F.
