TO BUILD CUTOFF.
Henderson-Springfield Line, With Bridge
Across the Willamette.
Portland, duly 11. What is known a
for years by the Southern Pacific, is to
be built. A decision to that effect has
been arrived at this week, and work is
to start immediately. It is estimated
the undertaking will entail an expendi
ture of approximately $l.W.0UO.
The cutoff will connect the east side
division of the Southern Pacific system
a short distance south of F.ugvne. The
new line will lie but a mile and twelve
hundredths in length, but the William-
niette river must lie bridged, and this
will prove decidedly ikpensivet The
main line pase through Henderson and
the branch from Wot alburn extend
south through Springfield to Natron.
The cutoff will enable passengers from
points between Wnodbttrn and Natron
to reach Eugene and other main line
points without difficulty, and will great
ly faciliate the' company's business in
the handling of trains. It is expected
that a much better West Side train ser
vice will follow.
The road has planned to spend a large
amount of money on the Willamette
valley lines this year. The fiM project
started was the St. Joseph cutoff, where
grading is now well under way, and that
work, like the Springfield-Henderson' un
deilakmg. is to I pushed ahead as fact
as possible.

Two Astoria Cauneries Recognized
at St. Louis.
AWARDED THE GOLD MEDALS
Two Astoria salmon packing concern
have been awarded medals for their
exhibits of the canned product at the
Umisiana Purchase exposition. (. W
Sanboru of the Sanboru-Cuttinll packing
company has liecn advised that his con
cern was awarded three gold medals for
its display of canned salmon and an ad
ditional medae for the exhibit of Colum
bia river shad. Secretary Kelson of the
I'uion Fishermen' co-operative packing
company was also advised by the St.
1-ouis exosition official that a medal
had been awarded his company for the
display of canned salmon.
Bully for Astoria. Such recognition
explodes the theory among ople of
contiguous communities that Astoria is
not oil the map. Astoria is oil the map
and covers considerable more territory
tlwn mot persons, referring in particu
lar to Portlamlites, Scattleites and var
ious other '"ites," are wont to admit.
Astoria is going to cover a great deal
more territory.
These awards are gratifying in the ex
treme anil while they induce elation
among the recipients, they mark but
the beginning and when compared with
the recognition that is to follow will
be presented as unimportant. There
will be other expositions, many of them.
In fact, two are scheduled to occur this
year, one at Christchureh, New Zealand.
and one at Belgium. Next year at Mi
lan, Italy, will occur one of the great
est of world's fairs, speaking from an
esthetic standpoint. In 1007 an expo
sition is scheduled for Jamestown, Vir
ginia. There is talk of an exposition
at Xew York in liHHl. J,o Angeles pro
poses one for 1011 and one is assured for
San Francisco in 1013. Several expo
sitions are being planned for th inter
vening years but as yet these plans are
rather incoate. If realized the exhibit
ive events will take place in Holland.
Mexico and the Argentine republic.
The opinion prevails that the World
is being favored with a superfluity of
expositions, that they represent only the
futile expenditure of fabulous sums.
People who have given the subject of
exhibit ive events careful stoudy tuke
exception to this popular Is-lief. Kx
lositions are peculiar things. That they
arn benelicial is an established fact.
It is only necessary to follow the os-r-ations
of large manufacturers; tltey
maintain corps of men for the espec
ial purpose of assembling mid superin
tending the installation of -otry dis
plays at nearly every exo-ition that
occurs. W'ertt it not for the fact that
the benefits can le delineated with a de
gree of exactitude, these manufacturers
would not persist in maintaining their
exhibits. ,
So far as the good expositions accom
plish for communities is concerned, the
benefit materialize through many chan
nels and are difficult to trail-. The most
productive accrue to sections contiguous
to tlie territory in which the exposition
is held. There are some who an trai
the virtues of expositions and these in
sist that expositions have come to stay,
the buinea of planning ami conduct
ing expositions has become a profession.
With all these things con-iilered and
recalling that Astoria has already been
retiignized, not only at the St. Louis
exHi-.itjon, but at its predeccn-or it is
worth the while of" the city's industrial
representatives to semi creditable di
plays .to all expositions, so fur as it is
practicable. Such exhibits must attract
attention. The recognition from the
boards of awards is the smallest benefit
that will result. The bettering of trade
relations is the goal, the introduction of
Astoria's products within the confines
of every country in the world.
