C. P. HUNTINGTON'S VISIT. This gciittt-mttii who is the part owner of tunny thousands of miles of railroads under the (southern l'uclllc system, and who recently port-lmsed the Narrow Gauge lines, came through I'olk county on a little jsuut l'ist Hun day. Iul hui had luude iieNiiatlons to ktsp the geiitlemiin over uiglit but he stopsil only afcwiuiuiltcs;afui' sending word several days nlieud that he was coming. Ho told the people that he was not going to make a broad gnuge of the mud and whs not going to ex tend It to Ya pilnn bay; but that the road would ln thornughly repulred and run In tlrst-chiss style. The company consisted of C. 1'. HiintliiKton, Vice President Tow no, Tin. M Silllmuti, Gen. Miles, It. A. Worthlngtou, Hupt V. II (hsldurd, Ihwlver C. N. Hcott, (icncrul Hubbard, U, Kisdiler and others. At Monmouth a stop was mode of a few minutes and rcprcscnliitlce clll.cns met the delegallou and had a "talk.': The train arrived ut Airlle at 4:l, a transfer was made to the brum! gauge lu carriages, and a train of a dinning cur, sleeper, and day couch, met the purty at Huvcr. Tho train passed In (lcK'iiilcnce ut 8:K0 p, m uud only three or four persiflis worf at the depot. When the train went up at 1 :.')() Mr. J, llraudt was mot and wild thut If Mr Huntington reached Independence on his return trip by four o clock n stop would lie m.idu. Hevcrul hundred ladles and gentlemen, with the brass bund, waited until about 5 o'clock, when no train uMmrug, all went home. It Is apparent that even the UnyimUm cannot get Mr. Huntington to express his Innermost thoughts for the benefit of the public Tho east side Narrow Gauge is to be a brond giiugo. The west side Narrow (hiugo Is to be put lu good order. Thut Is all we know about It. If he Intends building the Astoria road, or whether he will build the Corvullls extension, no one seems to know to a certainty, To all who have met Mr. Huntington their ques tions have been barret) of replies con tabling any thing new. At Monmouth they asked that the Narrow Gunge be extended to Yaqulna buy, but Mr. Huntington said It would not pay. The Astoria people want a road from Hlllsboro but Mr. Huntington makes no promises. Prof. MoAdams took a bevy of ''lasses" to the teacher's meeting ut Bethel lust Buturduy. The party was composed of Missus Dora Cooper, Essie Tatom, Lillian Cooper, Nellie Crown over, Patle Cooper, Ella Hhupp, Huiile Hayes and KshIu Itobcrtsoii. Five of the young ladies hud rifles and their unerrlugulm brought down four owls(?) Miss Tatom served an owl (?) dluucr ou Hunduy. The owls (?) were said to be flrst-class eating. How owl'd was It? ,Put this In your pipe and smoke It that J. D. Irvine will sell groceries cheaper than any house this side of Portland. lb Growth of Pi tor ty's Llrtrifilis. A BUSTLIN8 CITY.
