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

tbe company's machine shops, coal bunk
ers, and grain warehouses, ine deepest
vessels afloat can coma to tbe Flavel
wharves, there being 35 feet of water at its
lowest tide. 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

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.

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.

A Georgia paper explains the lack
of society news in a recent issue by
saying : "As ye editor was too poor to

beard that tbey had a very nice lime,
but we could not tell by standing on

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
