' Rumor of railroad building, which, if
actually effected, would change the
transportation map of the lower Co
lumbia river, are in
this week.
Railway t Navigation company's sys
tem, which at pneit traverse the
north beach, ami feeds the Oregon Rail
way & Navigation company' water
line to a point up the river, where deep
water is available, is a part of the gen
eral plan. Emboidied also, is the bdild
ing of a line down the north hank of the
river by the Northern Pacific, connect
ing with the proposed extension, and a
joint traflie arrangement whereby both
companies eouij operate trams lrom
Portland to the North Beach.
The story of the building down the
north bank of the river by the North
ern Faeitie is an old one, Slit nothing
tangible has ever followed the rumor.
On numerous occasion 5t has also been
reported that the Oregon Railway &
Navigation company would extend its
beach line to a point up the river, where
letter connection with it water line
would be available. That some action
will result from the present agitation,
however, is made apparent by certain
move made in official circle.
year ago, and it i probable that one
of these will be utilited, should con
struct ion be decided on. All the route
keep close to the river shore, and in
volve the construction of a large amount
of trestle work. There are three differ
ent survey into Ilwaco, one keeping
close to the beach of the bay, another
approaching to the present depot along
Spruce street, while a third goes the
other aide of the lake.
In any event, Knappton will be the
end of the line, and Chinook will lie
touched by the route. The deep water
at Knappton and vicinity, will allow of
the stern-wheelers coming direct from
Portland, and thus the maintaining of
a regular rail schedule.
The fact that great difficulty is ex
perienced by the companies in operating
boats across Bakers bay, which is shoal
ing more each succeeding year, has eon-
fronted the officials with a situation
where something must be done. The
building of the line would not only re
lieve the situation, but would do away
i with the varying schedule of the Ilwaco

ASTORIA'S GREATEST STORE.

One of the unique and attractive fca
lures of the regatta is the proposed
country fair. The committee In charge
have interviewed a numlier or fanners
and' all have promised to assist in mak
ing the fair a success. The purpose of
the committee is to either rent a large
store building or put up a large tent,
where many and varied products of t'lat
sou county will Is? exhibited. Suitable
prises will be offered for the best dis
play.
The e&hibit will consist of farm prod
nets, including small fruits, vegetables,
cereals, grasses, poultry nd( dairy prod
ucts, livestock anil fancy articles mailt
by the farmers' wives, similar to those
displayed at the county fairs given in
nianv of the counties each.vear.
The fair will lie appreciated by the
thousands of Eastern visitor that will
visit Astoria during the regatta, show
ing as it will, the resources of the conn-
tv. It will lie a cooU advertisement for
the city and county.
In connection with the exhibit, it is
proposed to have a regular old-fashioned
country dunce every evening. All
the participants are supposed to 1
dressed in the quaint farmer style; the
proverbial fiddler, perched upon the back
of a chair, will rap off the inspiring
nmlodieH of the "Arkansas Traveler"
and the '"Irish Washerwoman," and all
the hayseeds and country jakes will
Milam left And swing their partners to
the strains of "Old Zip Coon" A pro
fessional caller has been engaged who
understands (tilling off the country
cotillions.' making the affair a regular
country "hoe-down"' with all the varia
tions. Other similar features will lie in
cluded, the intention of the committee
being to introduce something new ami
original. The firemen's tournament
promise to lie a drawing card to the
regatta, five crack hose teams having
-imiilied their intention to participate.
Other land sports will be introduced,
keeping the visitors busy nnd affording
intercfting amusement. One of t!v
greatest features of the event will be
the marine parade at night. It is ex
pected that fully 500 fishing Units will
I participate, in addition to launches nnd
mull steamers, the latter leading the
procession and towing the fishing boats
around a circle in front of the city.
There will be a grand display of fire
works in connection with the parade,
making it one of the grandest scenes
ever witnessed in the history of re- j
gattas.
The fishermen are displaying an ac
tive interest in the water carnival and
as soon as the season is over will com
mence fitting up their lioats to partici
pate in the races. Nearlv $1,000 in
prizes will lie offered, making it nn in
ducement for the fishermen. Hereto
fore, this important branch of water
sports has been made of secondary im
portance, but the intention of the com
mittee to make it more of a home af
fair presages the most successful re
gattas ever held and one that 'will long
lie remembered.
Thousands of .visitors will doubtless
come to the city during the regatta,
many of them from the Middle West,
where nothing of the kind lias ever lieen
een, and not only will the committee
lie amply repaid for making the affair
a success, but Astoria and Chit-op coun
ty will be V-tter advertised throughout
the East, than any other means could
secure. All that is necessary is for
everyone to assist the committee. Boost
the regatta and boost Astoria.

San Francisco May Get Plant for Disin
tegration of Whales.
Kan Francisco, Aug. 8. M. J. Fried-
man of the firm of JStubetis & Friedman,
has left to investigate the whaling In-
lustry a conducted tliere, with an eye
o establishing a plant similar to those
on the Sound, perhaps in this city.
A few month ago the new whaling
teamer Orion, built in Norway accord
ing to modem plans, came around to
this coast for a new firm which had
established a "whaling plant" on the
Sound. It was the aim of the originat
ors to utilise every hii tion of the whales
the skin, flesh. Ismt-s and teeth.
The prospects, are that San Francisco
is to hafc one of these establishments
for the disintegration of Umles, which
will lie killed outside the heads and
towed into port for direction.
