Many Roseburg people have decided
to spend their vacation at Popular North

river boats five hours are consumed in
making the trip to Astoria, the scenery
including all that is beautiful, and
through the great salmon fishing waters
of the Lower Columbia. 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.

all-rail route from New York to Paris.

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.
