ON TO NEHALEM.
Declared Object of the Road Now
Building fronj Uoble.
It is now declared the purpose of the
Ooble, Nehalem A Pacific railroad,
which baa been understood to be a log
ging road, to tap a valuable timber dis
trict of Columbia County, is to cross the
divide into the Nehalem valley and pass
aronnd the northern rim of the valley
to Nehalem and Tillamook bays. It ia
eaid that a trackage arrangement with
tne isorinern racino nas neen semea
whereby the new line will get into Port
land, and that it will be a Portland road
to all intents and purposes. President
E. Cannon, of the Uoble, Nehalem A
Pacific, yesterday gave out the following
statement :
Our company is composed of local
young business men. We nave not
asked for financial aid. and are building
the road with local capital. All we
want ia the moral backing of the com
munity we will serve. We will have
the line through to Tillamook bay this
nj it n ti..
Umber and coal landa of that region.
"we already nave nve nines com-
Kleted and in operation. The road
aves the Northern Pacific track about
miles this side of Uoble, and we
have traffic arrangements with that
company as favorable as though we bad
bnilt clear through from Portland. . The
substanstial character of our work is
shown by the fact that the road is stan
dard in every respect, oo-poona steel
having been used and heavy bridge ma
terials. The grades do not exceed per
cent anva here on the line. The route
was only selected after the most care
ful surveys, and the public need have
no (ear but that It will De well served.

constractand equip, and will be oper
ated by experienced traffic men. We
nope to have tnrougn trains rnnnmg
into Portland before the end of another
twelve months. We believe the busi
ness is there to support the road. This
road haa been under construction for a
vear oast, though little noise was made
about it. I am a little surprised, how
ever, that the public has lost awakened
to the fact that a raiiroau is neeaea into

place on thia (Friday)evenlng at 7 p. m.
The object of the meeting, as stated by
our informant, is to devise some means
of deepening the channel of Scappooee
ereek sufficiently to permit permanent
navigation of the' bay as far as tui
terton's landing, a distance of less than a
mile. It is stated that It will be neces
sary to deepen the present channel only
three feet in order to permit steamers of
ordinary draft to reach the point desired.
The work can be done by the government
dredger and it it estimated the cost ill
not be more than $1000, and it ia for the
purpose of enlisting goverment aid In
the matter that the mectino- is beinir
called. The benefit which the proposed
Improvement would lie to the people
living in that district is more than
sufficient to warrant the necessary out
lay, A general attendance at the meet
ing is earnestly desired. ...

and cough in the winter of 1897, trying
every cough medicine I heard of without
permanent help , until one nay l was in
the drug store of Mr, Houlehan and he
advised me to try Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and offered to pay back my
money if I was not cured. My lungs
and bronchial tubes were very sore at
this time, but I waa completely cured
by this remedy, and have since always
turned to it when I got a cold, and soon
find relief. I also recommend it to my
friends and am clad to aav it is the best
of all cough medicines." For sale at the
