Evisy indication now point to a harjdom majority for the tate re publican ticket next June. Tba fact of tbe Btate and congressional conven Hons being taken to Astoria means tnuch for an increased majority for tbe party. JNo better generalship was ever displayed than that of tboae committeemen wha voted to take the convention to Astoria. Thi degree of determioatioa of tbe outlying counties to get the state and congressional conventions as faraway from Portland as possible may be im agined by noting the fact that Eugetfe gets the first congressional convention, tbe location being extremely south in tbe state, and Astoria, tbe other two conventions. Of course it matters not where the conventions are held, cer tain of the bangers-on would be there. but many of them will not attend under present circumstances. Port land has learned an expensive lesson, nut it had to come. FoprrusTS in this county were some what chagrined to learn that the re cent meeting of the state republican league waa harmonious to the end and that it was by unanimous vote that the league declared emphatically and unequivocally for the gold stand ard. It bad been hoped by tbe popu lists be re that a grand "bust-up would he the outcome of the meeting, but such was not the ease. The delegates from outlying counties were of suffi cient number to control matters in tba league, and the result was gratify ing to every good republican. The Immigration bill has passed. It provides that all immigrants physi cally able and oyer 16 years of age, shall be able to read or write tbe Eng lish language or some other language, but a person not able to read or write, who is over 50 years of age, or is the parent or grandparent of a qualified immigrant over 21 years of age, capa ble of supporting such parent or grand parent, may accompany tbe immi grant, or the parent or grandparent may be sent for, and come to join tbe family of the child or grandchild over SI years of age who is qualified under tba Jaw, and the wife or minor child not able to read or write, may accom pany or be sent for and come to join tba parent or husband who is qualified. Tbads in many sections of the West is seriously interfered with by the bad conditions of the roads. Legislatures refuse to enact laws for the improve ment of rural highways because the farmer who object to increased tax ation have a habit of retaliating at the next election. Farmers in Oregoa do not seem to realize that they are im prisoned on their farms until the mud dries up ; that they are deprived of tbe benefit of high prices by the annual wire blockade, and that those who handle farm produce are forced to re main idle for the greater portion of lb year, it is singular that the class most affected by impassable roads re fuse to consider the money to be made by taking advantage of tbe higher prices la the late winter' and spnnp markets. The only road enthusiasts to be found in the West are the cyc lists, but the farmers are too short sighted to sea that pleasure riding is not the only benefit conferred by proper road law. Upobt the completion of the Atloria Columbia Biver railroad Columbia county will be benefitted in many ways. Jrnnsipal among the benefits to be derived is tbe fact that the entire river front of the county will be opened to facilities for shipping our lumber and shingles without so much hand ling. Heretofore and at present when a Columbia county lumber and shin gle manufacturer desired to ship a cargo East it was necessary first to load tbe lumber on a barge ar steamer and tow it to Portland, there to rehan dle It ; but wbea the Astona road is completed and the manufacturer loads his cargo at the mill (which will be tbe case) it will immediately speed away to its destination in the Eastern market. Tbe faot of the manufacturer in the past being required to deliver bis product at a practical shipping point has greatly retarded the develop ment of Colombia county in this re spect, and it can readily be seen what degree of benefit will accrue to tbe county from tbe construction of the railroad. Another advantage we will naturally derive will be tbe greatly in creased valuation of taxable property within our borders, the direct benefit being tbe lessening of taxation. An other year or two will witness wonders in this county in the way of increased manufacturing plants. Our timber will be in demand, and the fact now becomes apparennt that where a few years ago logging could be success fully carried on at nominal expense on account of the accessibility of tbe timber, it will now necessitate tbe ex penditure cf much money to reach the many valuable bodies of timber. T'bis money, of course, goes immedi ately into circulation among our peo ple, thus enabling them to open and develop larger and better farms, and immediately creates a demand and market for the farm's product at home, and better facilities will be afforded for resiling the markets of the ma tropolis, in the center of tbe state, and the city of Astona, at the seaboard. Directly and indirectly this county will derive incalculable benpfit from tfta buiMing of the Aatoiia railroad. ASTOKIA RAILROAD. Regular Trains Will Be Running lly the Middle of Hay. ,., Th railroad STstora of Oreiron wilt shortly ba increased by tii addition of tlx Astoria & Columbia Klver railroad, which is rapidly wearing eumpleUoa, and upon which regu lar trains will ba running by th middle of May. Wjrk upon the roadbed! la almost Mulshed; soma additional tilling across the Penins bottom below Kaitiicr and about a mile of piling to replace the till across the Clatskania bottom, where the swamp was too soft to sustain the rarth till made with tba Urcdaies, is bring done. The tunnel work of Kiui-n mon's and Xrvon'a blutls is also about completed, so that there is no fear that ttie tracklayers will be delayed at these points. There are three of these tun nels, being; tbe only ones on the Una. It is readily to be seen that Mr. Hammond, in designing this most picturesque route to the sea. had In mind the seaside traffic. whi,;h be expects to make one ot the chief sources of income to his road, and In order to at tract the summer girl and her escort be had bis engineers put in these tunnels, follow ing the fashion of the most nonular Eastern roads, whose tunnels are the most attractive feature to traveling young people. While Sir. Hammonds tunnels are short, the longest not exceeding 300 feet, vet it the young lady is thoughtful and has ber veil removed, and the young man 1 elert, a pleasing break in the mokjtony of car trav eling can oe enjoyed while the train Is pass ing throngh these tunnels. The bridge men are pushing their work with a vim : the drawbrideea across Youni'i bay, John Day, iilind slough and Clatskanie river are all completed. The draw span of these bridges vary in length from 80 a l.'iO eei, allowing staple space lor ine largest vessels that will ever navigate tli.e streams vo pass wrouga witn ease, luese Dridges are all of steel and iron and are extra heavy, being designed to carry the heaviest trains run upon the transcontinental roads. Tba wooden bridgea for all the smaller streams were completed last week. A new outlet into tbe Columbia river has been dredged out for Pernne slough, and the bridge across this stream bas ben located about a quarter of a mile above Kinearson's &lace. Tba old channel at Kinearson's is eing closed no with tbe rock and earth from tbe heavy cat made at that place, the slough making a most convenient dumping place. Another reason for changing the channel of the slough was that at tbe place wnere ine new ouuel was maue ine sioagh bad almost cut through to tbe Columbia river, and it wonld have been a big expense to nave nnrappea me nana ana stopped its cutting. The piling for all the bridges oa tbe line are of cedar, a wood that la almost indestructible and which is good for a hun dred years' service. i racaiaying has been carried on tor some time nast. and the rails are now in place for over so miles op front Astoria, construction trains running regularly almost to West port. Tracklaying bas been commenced ironi ine wioie enu, ana tue trace; is now laiA tn H.n lAir.a K.t ...... M fitilM hut.. Rainier, and the work is being pushed as fast as tbe tracklaying machines can be operated. It is expected to have the track all do wn by April 1. when the final work of ballasting will be poshed with the utmost speed so that the road may be opened ready for spring traffic. That the Astoria A Columbia River rail road is inteaded to do more than to handle local traffic is proven by the fact that the iraca is ot'ing laid witn to poana steel rails, whereas tbe aaual weight is 60 to 66 pounds to the yard. Tbe roadbed is also being made extra wide and strong, the surface being 16 feet wide, while nearly all the roads in tbe United States have but a 14-foot road bed. The trade has been brought to nrao- ticallv a water level: at no place does it exceed one per cent. There is not a sharp curve on tbe road to retard the speed of tbe trains; in fact there are only fqur places that could Derailed curves, and their great est curvature does not exceed seven degrees. lo give connection itn an tne traiiacon- tiaeatal roads centering in l'ortiand. a 99- vear contract w made with tbe Northern Pan Ho whereby trains of the Astoria & Co lumbia River Company enn nae the former company's track Irom Uoble to Portlaod tnus permitting close connection at the Union depot with all trains lor the north east, or south. To fit their road for the heavy traffic to go over the Astoria road, tbe Northern Pacific Company have re-laid their track from Portland to Ooble with 75-pound steel rails, tbe same as is being put down by the Astoria Company. So soon as tbe main track is all down, the work of erecting the devnts and tinning down tbe side-tracks for the various stations on the line between Astoria and Gobie will be began. For the present, stations will only be established at John Day. Bvenson, B.nappa, Hilton, westpori, Mamniand. Clatakanie. Quiucv. Itavger. and Rainier. Should there be traffic to justify it, later on stations will be established at Downing' landiag. Wood's landing, and several other small places. Owing to tne topography of the country, it was impessinie to locate tne road nearer than three-fourths of a mile te Clatskanie, so te accommodate tbe shippers of that town. Clatskaaie being one of tbe principal lumber centers of the Lower Co lumbia as well as the nearest ana principal outlet for the Nehalem valley, the company win put a "y ' trace mat cars may tie run to tbe warehouses in the bnsiness portion of tbat town. Tbe terminal facilities of tbs company at Astoria will bt the finest and moat complete of any railroad in the united states term inating at tidewater. This assertion will be proven when tne company s plans are iuny carried out. On tbe Astoria terminal grounds will be located the depot, new built, freight-honses, roand-house, etc.. and a complete system of side-tracks. On the water-front side there will be located an immense wharf and warehoase 2000 feet long from which sbips of tbe deepest draught can load and unload cargoes direct from the cars. The grounds adjoin the grounds and wharves of the O. R. & N. Co., aad the depot is located en almost tbe iden tical snot where Fort Astoria was built. when the Americans made their first settle ment in Oreeen. Tbe derxil and wharves adjoin the main business part of Astoria, Commercial street terminating at tbe de- !ot. The lower terminal grounds will be ocatcd at Flavel and Warrenton. where tbe company owns 100 acres of land facing the t'.

Abreast of the wharves is one of the finest anchorages in the world, the harbor being ample and periectiy land locked so that during the heaviest storms ships can ride at anchor in perfact safety. wnne tne ocean is so near as to do in signt, yet so great is tbe volume of water in tbe Columbia flowing by Flavel that the salt water never reaches this harbor, conse quently tbe toredo, which is so destructive to the wharves of San Francisco and the Bound cities, is unknown, while vessels ly ing at anchor bav the barnacles cleaned from tbeir bottom as effectually as if tying in tbe Willamette river at Portland, bo broad Is the Columbia at this point (12 miles) that tbe greatest flood on its unner courne is almost imperceptahle at Astoria ana navei; wtine so nuia is in climate that the oldest inhabitant can not recall the time when there was ice in tbe harbor. The bar at the mouth of the Columbia is now a thing of the past, tbe great jetty, 4 miles long, being one of the greatest engineering feats ever undertakes by the government. giving to the mouth of the Columbia a greater depth of water than is bad at the entrance to New York harbor, there being 31 feet at extreme low tide, and so safe and easy of access is the river tbat now it is a common occurrence for sailing ships to sail into tbe Astoria-Flavel harbor without as sistance from a tug, and very often without a bar pilot being aboard. Warren Republican Club. Pursuant to a call, a portion of the repub lican legal voters of Warren and vicinity met at the public ball on Feb. 2, at 7:30 p. m. Tbe meeting was called to order by John Dolan, after which Magnus 8axoa was elected president, H. H. Clark eecietary, John Dolan vice-president, Fred Hawkins asistant secretary. All voter present then signed tbe roll headed: Resolved, That we reaffirm our allegiance to tbe republican party and its platform as indorsed by the republican party at its last presidential campaign. Reselved, Thatacopyof these resolutions be sent to The Mist for publication. On motion it was agreed that tbe club should meet on the Kith of Febrnary, at 7:30 p. m., and every second Wednesday of each month, at 7: SO p. m., thereafter. There being no further business, tbe club adjourned. H. li. Clash, (secretary. FOR A 1UU BUSINESS. Local Firm Making Arrangement to Ship Salmon Eak 8. Schmidt & Co. have an ant In Attor rla buying saltuuu for cold storage ship ment Kast. Thy are paying five cents a pound. Tbe shipment of salmon Kast promises to be a lucrative busiuuss this year, and, with the completion of the rail mad, it is expected tbat from one to five carloads will be shipped each day. This wi'l allord a market for a large amount of salmon, and will give employment to a large number of men. There were three firms enguged in the business last year, and there will not be leas than six firms in the business this year. Hie price paid for salmon will be not less than four cents, and possibly five will be paid. If anything like the amount claimed is to be shipped, it will cut quite a figure in fixing the price paid lor salmon by uauuery men. The shipping of salmon East In cold stor age promises to form an Important industry in Astoria. Salmon reaches Chicaaointive days and Mew York in six days, and, being fresh, commands as high as i cents per pound, tnd finds ready sale at that price. It is claimed that ten of the largest Eastern cities oun consume all the salmon caught on the river, snd that there is no difficulty in finding s market for it. The fact that several firms will engage in the business tins season makes the hsiiliig outlook fur lt&8 unusually bright, lly reducing the gear on tbe river one-third, which will be don by the large number of fishermen leaving for Alaska, will make the business more lucrative for the fishermen remaining on hue river. neraiu. KEASEY ITEMS. E. B. Sanders is at home again. Miss Mollis McCanley, who has been at Mist for several months, returned home last week. Mr. Kern, who for several months bas been a great sufferer, is again able to ba at his own home much improved in health. Misa Mabel Harvey did not ( as w chron icled in our last) visit ber sister, Mrs. Ed Webster, but came over Monday, Jannary 31. to spend some time and relieve the lone someneea of a Ufa in the wild Woods of Oregon. Spelling schools st the Keasey school- bouae are attracting the young people ef this community ; Dut wnetoer tne lun or the spelling contest is most attractive, we cannot say. Youth comes but once in a lifetime. Road work la the order of tba dav nf lata. Supervisor Hrous does not intend that trav elers shall say the worst road in tbe county :- . . . - : -.. .1 1 ll .. after if anyone thinks so let them take a trip up the Nehalem or dowa to Pittsburg, then up to Keasey, and if tbey are of the same opinion ami" we will give i hem an oyster supper; that is, if, like the Pirates of Penxance, "they are all honorable men." A Georgia paper explains the lack of society news in a recent issue by saying : "As ye editor was too poor to purchase a ticket and the Fickeus Dancing Club was chary in it favors, we cannot say anything of tbe func tion Wednesday night further than we beard that tbey had a very nice lime, but we could not tell by standing on the street and trying to look up through a second story window." The Atlanta Constitution holds, rightly, we think, that this explanation should be entirely satisfactory. If the Oregonian is right, one is in clined to judge Portland as a city of dirt, dobt, deck, druokeness, dema gogues, dives, and disorderly dens, snd among the entire Penaoyer gang dic tating to the modern Sodom is not one man who proposes a single measure that has not as its chief aim tbe in crease of political power and plunder to partisans with a pull one with the other, regardless of what would pro mote morality and public decency. It is a sad commentary on the otherwise fair metropolis of the Williamette val ley when Peunnyer and boodle are boss. Card of Thank.
