An sfternoon pup,-r of ycs'crduy pub lished a disputih under the purported dale of July (. referring to the lllucfc of Governor Taylor, of Kentucky, at NUgiiru Falls. Governor Taylor left Niagara Fulls over a week ago, and the dispatch In qucMlon wun sent out by the Associated Press and published in Eastern pir. from one of which it was clipped, ten days ugo. This show a the "character of "telegraphic" news which the paper referred to at tempts to pulin off on Its readers as live news matter. Miss Mary Scott, formerly leading woman for the Frawley Coinimny, also for It. L. Siockwell a aggregation, and Lawrence Grlltlth, of the Mansfield and Ettx-kwell companies, arrived In the city yesterday for the purpose of giv ing a dm mule performance for the benefit of the public library. The en tertainment will take place at Fisher's opera house next Friday night. The leading Characters will be assisted by clever local talent. Mlsr Scott was formerly a leading society woman In San Francisco. She haa been famous for her hundsome gowns and the char acter she will assume next Friday night will allow their display to the bust advantage. Comments have been freely made about town on the excellent showing made by the soldiers fioni the neigh boring forts and the marines from the cruiser Philadelphia in the parade on the Fourth of July. The general de meanor and appearance of the men substantiates the oft-repeated state ment that the American soldier and mariner ranks far ahead of those of other civilised countries. Superb Intel ligence of the American heroes, ns re flected In the faces and manners of those who visited us on the Fourth of July accounts for the glorious achievements at San Juan Hill, Manila and Santiago. The statement of Ad miral Schley that "the man behind the gun" d'-served the credit of victory was fully demons'rated in the faces of the boys who came from the Philadelphia and the forts on the Fourth. The government transport Lennox will arrive from Portland early today with a load of government stores, horses and mules for Kobe, Japan. As a matter of fact, the Lennox is be lieved to be renlly bound for China, as it Is understood that she Is to report at Kobe for orders and these ore un derstood to be that she shall proceed to Hong Kjng If the situation In Chi na seems to demand It: The Lennox carries 570 horses belonging to the Sixth cavalry, and 100 mules. Most of the animals are campaigners, having been In Cuba and Porto Rico during the Spanish war. About 23 of the horses are recruits, and are especially for tho mule drivers. The vessel al so carries more forage than on her last trip, when there Were between COO and 6u0 horses aboard. There are also about 1000 pounds of butter and other stores needed In camps. The, St. Helens Mist makes a great roar over tho failure of Columbia county othcl Us to pay more attention to the county roads. Clatsop county, too, has some reason for complnlnt In this direction. The Astorlan agrees with the Mist that many of the county roads would be In a fnlrly good condition at the present time if pomeprovlslon had been made to fix small chuck holes from time to time, hut ns It Is, these have been neglected and allowed to be come Impassible at these points. Where a load of gravel would have fixed sev eral of the chuck holes If they hud been attended to at the proper time, It wilt take several loads now to fill them, which means, of course, additional ex pense. In building county roads It Is poor economy after fixing them to let them run down. Now that road super visors have been elected In the dis tricts, perhnps It will be easier to at tend to fixing roads when they need only a little work,. on tbem from time to time to keep them In goo4 condi tion. This Is a matter the county of fli lsU should consider with a vlw of having It looked afttr In future, for It Is fulsn economy and a detriment to gfiod roads to spend money upon them and not maks the proper provision to ,ii thi ni In repair, MANY PERTINENT QUESTIONS. William Held Makes Some Pointed Re marks on the Local Railway Situation. ' PORTLAND, Dr., June 20.tEdltor Astorlai J-How Is It that Astoria. In lt'j2, without a railway, contrasted with 1W0 and a river railroad to Go hle, has Im manufactures of lum ber and f wer foreign exports anil lis chief dependency is still on the sal mon flsherlea and canneries? I venture to suy, because Astoria's present rail way Is wrongly located on the Columbia river Instead of, as it ought to have been, through the Nehalem volley with the lattir's vast resources carried to Astoria. The present railway, with no local carrying trade or raw produce for man ufacture nor logs to be carried to Astoria for raw-mills, never can build up manufacturing enterprises there. The few resources tributary to the Astoria and Goble railwavere carried not to Astoria, but to the market of Portland, and by steamers and scows at competition rates often cheaper than can b taken to Astoria. Many Astoriuns will recollect that when. In IVjO, they asked me to help bull.l a road from Astoria to Goble I declined for the above reason, stating that It would not build up Astoria as a lumber center, hence I preferred the Nehalem route, and. followed It In stead. All of the Eastern lumbermen who have vUlteil Oregon within the pust have confirmed my Judgment In this rcMei-t. and, while they unanimously favor Astoria as the great natural saw mill site, over all others, they odd that unlt-en & pMttl railway to As toria is built to carry from ten to thirteen blllljn feet of Nehalem tim ber they dare nt erect permanent sawmills at Astoria for the reason that If all of Nehalem's twenty billion feet of lugs could be floated down to the Nehalem bay all the year round (Im possible without a railway on account of the falls), such logs would have to be handled at Nehalem bay and from thence be carried as lumber, by rail way, from that bay either to Portland or Astoria. Hence your city would not get the manufacturing from these logs. If this Is true, and I fear that you must frankly admit It Is, what are the Astoria people going to do about It? Walt on, year aXter year, Macaw ber like, "for something to turn up" a other cities, now dead, have done, and say "Look at our superior, natur al location"? Yet all the while East ern lumbermen are coming to Oregon, erecting sawmills elsewhere in the state and Portland Is working nearly one million feet per day of sawlogs. Remember capitalists engaged in the lumbering business do not build to own railroads, and only go where the tim ber and railroads are located near each other. Can Astoria give such advant ages? I believe she can, because: First. A railroad only thirty-five miles long may terminate at Central Nehalem river, and carry therefrom ten to thirteen billion feet of logs to Astoria cheaper than any other rail way In the United States, while a sim ilar railway from the other nearest city from Central Nehalem would be seventy miles and would cost double the amount. And eventually the Asto ria line may be extended dow n to Ne halem bay and transport coal to Asto ria therefrom, provided Mr. Hammond's proposed Seaside railway does not go to these coal mines at Nehalem bay. Second. Astoria, out of the thirty five miles necessary, has already con structed fifteen to eighteen miles grade, consequently nineteen to twenty miles additional have only to be built to reach tho Astoria city limits, while the surveys of the whole line to Nehalem river, at the mouth of the Humbug creek, are already paid for and the line accurately surveyed, re-surveyed, cross sectioned and the cost of the work Is accurately estimated from Astoria to Nehalem river, which surveys (If not already done) would take six months to any surveying corps to accomplish and consequently the grade may be constructed Immediately. Nevertheless, I do not, and would not, discourage the Seaside line to Tilla mook, which Mr. Hammond contem plates, because It will carry to Flavel spruce and fir for ten to thirteen miles along the Necanicum, but fortunately It will never compete with 'he Lewis and Clark route for two reasans. First. Because It never can be a competitor with that line (via the Lewis and Clark summit) into the Nehalem valley proper nor carry the fifteen bil lion feet of lojrs now growing In the latter. Consequently If this line from Astoria to Central Nehnlem la never to be built and leave nothing, except the timber below the falls of the Neha lem river, to reach Nehalem bay where Mr. Hammond's Seaside line may pass, or stop to carry It after they are made into lumber. Second Even if Mr. Hammond's Sea side line to Tillamook be built within the next few years, or later, the local trafllo thereon will be hauled, whether logs or lumber, to its terminus at Fla vel alone. Mr. Hammond himself stat ed to me that If rot carrlad to Flavel his company would have to charge fifty cents per ton additional when carried over his railroad bridge Into Astoria proper, (I mean that trestle bridge at Youngs bay which I built, and which now belongs to Mr. Ham mond's company). Therefore any di rect line coming from Central Neha lem would be an Independent line to the east bank of Youngs bay ,4,-torla's limits and save that fifty cents per ton charg, whereas if it connected wlih Mr. Hammond's present Beaslde line at the Junction at Clatsop City they would have to pay mileage rates to the west side of the bridge and fifty cents ex tra from the bridge Into Astoria prop er on each ton carried there. In saying 'all this I frankly confess that my financial Interests are, unfor tunately, located In the old Lewis and Clark fifteen-mils grade, for which, however, Astoria should be thankful, seeing it Is (he very reason which com pels me to fight for Astoria in getting that line completed as an Independent line. Still, while I do not ask, nor do I expect, Astoria to subscribe the mon ey necessary to complete these thirty five miles (about tM.M without equip ment) yet it Is essential that the active co-operation and good will of three fourth of the Astoria people be given so m to show capitalists with whom I am negotiating that Astoria proper will heartily back the enterprise and will prepare the necessary Information. Without such co-operation to capital ists they would not consent to any railroad extension via the Lewis and Clark as on account of previous Amer ican railroad failures through the pan ic of 1SS2-93, and fights with other rail road corporations, capitalists are now timid about where they Invest their money In railroads In future and will ot.ly do so In places where they are In harmony with the people. WILLIAM REID STRIKE ON MANZAN1TA.. Members of the Crew Refuse to Accept Government's Reduction In Salaries. Nearly every member of the crew on the lighthouse tender Manzanlla left the vessel vesterday on a strike be cause of a reduction of wages ordered by the lighthouse board, reprinting the treasury department. The announcement of the cut was expected several months ago, but through on order from headquarters Cupiuln Gregory was not Instructed to announce the reduction until yes terday morning. When Captain Greg ory read the order to the crew seven teen of them Immediately declared that they would not continue In the service under the terms proposed and at once left the vessel. Under the new schedule the firemen are cut from $50 to $45 per month sailors and coal paosers from $40 to $.13 per month, mesa boya from $30 to $2S per month and cooks from Iw to $50 per month, . , Captain Gregory endeavored to secure a new crew yesterday but was unsuc cessful. The new salary schedule of fered by the government Is considera bly less than that In force among the general shipping companies and there being a demand for men the striking crew determined to hold out for the old scale or. falling In securing this, accept rwsltlons on other vessels. An order for a similar reduction was announced on the lighthouse tender Madrona at San Francisco several weeks ago The crew, almost to a man, "took the plank" and refused to return to the vessel and resume their duties unless the old scale was re stored, which aras done after a brief delay. WHAT OUR FLAG STANDS FOR. Wherever the American flag !s raised In token of sovereignty, It stands for liberty, Independence and equality. What our flag is to the nation, Hostet- ter's Stomach Bitters Is to the Individ ual, Inasmuch as It not only gives you freedom from your ailments, but pro tects your system In such a manner that they cannot return. When your stomuch gets out of order, causing you to belch after eating, or when you are so nervous that you tosa about all night, unable to sleep, you should cer tainly try it, because It will strengthen your stomach, steady your nerves, and Induce sound, healthy sleep, and for Indigestion, constipation and biliousness there is notmng to equal it. Rheuma tism is also counteracted by its direct action on the kidneys. CIRCUIT COURT PROCEEDINGS. , C. W. Shlveley vs. Clatsop County set for trial Saturday. July 11 N. P. Sorenson vs. J. B.
