They have been harping railroad for the last twenty year, and yet they are at it. The prospect 'g-ts brighter" every year, and if something doea not mater ialize pretty soon the prospects wiil he ao bright that they will not need a road. Late advices Irom there are to the effect that lately there has been hfi- nio.st bftsiness-iike proposition sub mitted to them of any of the past. This should be cheerful news for Ag torians, as they have been the victims of more railroad adventurers, "rain bow chasers,' sad "wildcat" schemers within the last eight years than all the people in the slate. We have been, and are yet, earnest advocate of a railroad to Astoria, and we will hail with great gratitude the completion of one. :.' . Ik the correspondence from Deer Island in the last issue of this paper ' is an item setting forth the benefit to be derived frtyn, a, neighborhood Creamery. These ar$ timely sugges tions and are worthy the consideration of the arming element of that or any other locality in this county. It is our belief that a creamery, properly man aged, would be a paying industry and one from which, our farmers could re alize hands. iniely. As the corrosion dent says, we have good Ltcalious. the farms, the cows, and the climate, nnd this, with a conceited action on ihe part of the farmers, should be ccotiyli to carry into execution any roppsi tiou of that nature. Thf.be is a good deal of complaint registered by the residents of the ex freme southern portion of this cuuuir regarding the crematory which is be ing est ablifbed near Bocky Point, by the city of Poillaud. It is pronounced to be a great ouieance, and the peopK are justified in their complaints.
