Hbavy 8mdes or Astoria Road.
There Is uo prospect for the Astoria
Goble railroad being completed by
January 1, as was intended. The late
heavy rain storms have caused some
very extensive landslides along the
line, owing in some cases to the banks
of tha cut not having been given slope
enough. Some 6000 or 7000 yards of
earth have come down in cuts between
Rainier and Maygers, and there are
Other targe slides between Clatskanie
and Westport. Tbe county road ia
blocked for some distance where it
runs alongsido the railroad, and tbe
aggregate amount ot tbe slides is past
computation. A borae got into one of
these slides and sank till nothing but
bis head was visible. An attempt was
made to pull bim out with a pair of
horses, but thia waa found to be im
possible, aud it was necessary to shoot
the poor brute where be lay. Tbe
nun.ber of men at work on the line
varies greatly, as it is very difficult to
hold men in such weather. Une day
thore may be 700 at work, aud the
next not more than 500. Tbe rails are
laid up to near Clifton, but it will take
a long time and cost a Urge amount
to clear the grade of the earth which
tbe late storms have brought down.
