'1 suppose one Is as good aa an

"Or as bad," said hU wlr "But
I would prefer; an old man, one who
baa ceased to "experiment upon peo

"Or one who has filled the neces

Mr. Manifold. "Suppose you auk Mrs.
Osgood. She has been more or leu
of an Invalid for years, and feho oujht

So Mrs. Manifold consulted Mrs.
Osgood, . '
"It all depends on what alia you."
said that lady. "You know really

nowadays. I have suffered from every

scribe your symptoms I can get an
Idea of what you need to be treated
for."
Mrs. Manifold proceeded to say that
her head was heavy, that she found
no repose in sleep, that her apatite
wrji poor, and that she was tired all

v "Why, my dear woman I you must

her condftlon ' was so serious. 8!w
thought she ought to send for Dr,
Slashemwell right away; but she re
solved to wait until morning.
That evening she related the result
of her vlalt to her husband.
"Stuff and nonsense!" cried that

Mrs. Manifold returned from the

Then h placed Mrs. Manifold be

"Then yon will not obtain the htnith

Mr. Manifold paid ber scond con

and went home almost as depressed

she had a choice of evils. Wio woke

Hint evening Mr. Manifold brought
a gentleman home to dinner. "My

old college chum of mine quite by

come a very successful spi-eliiHst In

Mrs. Manifold thought she would
consider the matter.
After the doctor had gone, she said
to her husband: "I have made up my
mind today, dmr, to try my own

thou If I am no better I will make a

Clatsop, Or., Dec, Uth.-I received
several letter from friend asking
questions about the railroad that it
xiwcud to bo built from Uoulo to
Astoria, eonneeltrg AtvH'la with ov
tral traiMOonllticUuU Hue.
Tim hi t qucstiou with nil Is, It
theru any forfeit up, or ait) thing to
make tho road any surer to be built
this time, more than theru wa at
any of the other attempts?
t think there Is no forfeiture, but
the bulne integrity of the contract
tug put tit Is siiul to bo of Urn bet,
and their linanehi! ability l alto tiuul
to the task they have taken. The
timet aro propitious. Tim tstt bust,
nes men of Oregon ace that It l
uecosfary to Imvt direct connection
with ship, so that trade will have no
utrapa ou it Oregon will bo left be
hind, otherwise. So iheta hmi, be
side Imvlug bustne ability, nnan
etat and otherwise, will have the
backing of the busbies mn of Ore
gon, which fact alone makes the road
a certainty. Then again, the road
they have ttmWtnken to build la close
to tho river all the way, and an easy
one to put supplies at any point along
the route, Those are the lualu reu
so" why tho road is aid to tie a
snr llilllg. Another question Is.
Whew la the subsidy that I given T
If that qtiffctloti Is asked for the pur
pose of judging of it value, I will
say that In my humble opinion the
road would bo built now If the sub
sidy had no value. It has become an
Oregon affair, not ait Astoria affair,
I don't believe Astoria could atop the
building of the road now, any eas'er
thai) she Could build It before; the
mibsldy, however, 1 scattered over a
large ama, some being In the thick
of the city, tome In gd farming
laud, and tome I ou edge in rs vines,

any of It, I would say look at It first.
There I good and poor lu It. It is
not always easy, though, to tell how
things will develop,
became the protnlueut stone lu the
buHdlng."
Are not the Astorlant anxious to
ll land, aud If so why It It?
To answer that I would say some
are trying lo sell and would like to
-,!( ; oilier are not trying to sell, nnd
don't waut to snll. Home would like
to sell jMirt of their holding. Sou
am buying aud carrying all the land
they possibly can, because of their
faith In Astoria's future. The renon
are the tame as they would be any
w herosome have much faith, sotui
lack faith, some have more than they
can entry, some want to Improve part
at their property, some waut to raise
valuta, some want to break down
vnhi for spwiimtlve reason. I wll!
say, though, that land I steady
rising la value and 1ms been diirliiH
all these last years, even when there
were no buyer. The majority sihmii
to believe In Astoria and It future.
Another question. Wh re would be
a good piaco to buy a lot? Well, 1
think the best place to buy a lot Is
right on the lot. There I where 1
wotdil bo when I made up my mind
to buy. I could not advise anyone
that way, but there are all kind of
situation; anyone ought to be able
to suit himself. It depend on what
yon want of your lot. I think If only
those buy lot that want them It wll'
lw better for Astoria. There Is land
that I of the lsst for farming, to Is
had; tide land, sandy land, beaver
dam land, and bottom 'land In the
subsidy and out of It, for sale. Thre
are water lots, and residence lots, nod
lot for any kind of business, and
lots of pcsiplo In ' world to find out
