After a short stop at Astoria, the steamer is off for Ilwaco, on Baker's Bay, where the pas sengers board the train waiting and are soon off for North Beach, the popular summer resort of the North Pacific coast.

Along the vallevs and hich waters the crop has been destroyed and from the level lands that have been saturated the corn will not mature. The best com is along the dry, rolling land, but even there the cool season has prevented the crop from being what it should be at this time. We may have an average crop if the weather in the future is favor able, but if it continues cold it is hard to sov to what extent there will be a Etorage. The crass crop will be the fin est for many years. The cool weather has favored the growth of oate, wheat and barley and that class of products. M.

RAILWAY UNDER SEA. the idea of building a Trans-Alaska-Si berian Railroad, and thus affording an all-rail route from New York to Paris. Ehifting the commercial axis from the Suez Canal to Behring Strait. In 1890 Lobet visited Alaska on an in vestigating mission, and it was then he thought of the peopleatbtake there, and he has since interested many moneyed men, which has resulted in the forming of a company, which he sayehas pledged him ample fftnds to carry it out. He is now making a tour of the world in the interest of this railroad BcJieme, and it is this motive that has brought him to Ean Fransisco. In his proposed route over America, the present plans outline a road across the United States from New York to San Francisco, thence northward to Ore gon and Washington, along the Coast to Juneau, thence to Fort Cudahay, and thence to the most westerly point of Alaska, extending into Behring Sea. Here a tunnel will connect the two mainlands. Thence the road will ex tend through Eibera to St. Petersburg, and finally through Europe to Berlin and Paris. .
