"A. & C," SOLD, OR UNSOLD. Whatever basis of truth that ln trlres the report that the "A. & C." has been sold (this time to E. H. Har iVan), it has inspired no small ae t'vity In the local real estate field, and values are moving steadily up vard on all property contiguous to the line, and some of the shrewdest dealers in land hereabout, are busy with lots and acreage the whole length f the road. H has been said, quiet -I- that the culmination of the pres- n' n -gotiations will be reached on th T-ih of th present month, but tbv tiuthorlty for this is just as vague that for the original rumor of the sal There are those who are, supposedly, close to headquarters and the real purposes of the present owners, qu 'te ready to deny that the road is going to Mr. Harrlman, or will ever go to I'm, from the hands of Mr. Hammond, who is a member of the group of poo rle once powerful in Southern Pacific counsels, and now withdrawn and In imical to that huge concern. There is no secret about this phase of the situation, and it were well for As toria if Hill or Gould, or anyone, oth fr than Harriman, should get the road. Mr. Harriman, it is thought, will hardly carry out the pending improve ments of the road, but rather let it IV dormant, a mere feeder, and hold it for years against the terminal idea which is the paramount hope of As toria; a fateful contingency that fight be obviated if the purchaser wpre other than he, with the impera- t've necessity for establishing termin al facilities here, and gra.'.ting to this city all that means for the future. Vnsold, the road Is still the property of a man we all know, and in whose idea ot its practical development to te very end, we have abundant faith. It is therefore the better hope of all, that Mr. Hammond will retain the system, rather than pass it to hands that will make it a "stop-gap." The "ay cannot be far distant, however, when the real essence of the pending stories will be manifest, and the new Cestiny of the fine property be known tc us all, and it is barely possible the 19th may yield the confirmation, denial, or disappointment involved in the existing conditions. ASTORIA'S GRADES. There Is tin able and timely hint fiom Judge Howlby, elsewhere In those i'..'umns, anent the raising of the street grades in this city to a point if utility and safety, that deserves the best thought of every property holding cltlson In Astoria. He Is not alone In his deductions; there are many men here, and several engineers nmong them, who are Just as plainly spoken In this behalf as Is this respect ed citizen. It is time to take this mat ter up In real earnest and lay the predicate for the changes In Astoria's levels that shall mean something in the future. It will inevitably have to be done and the wisdom of doing It at all is in doing it now. when there is l?ss to be torn out and down in the reformatory processes that cannot be escaped. It will save good money in diys to come if this grave matter Is properly and promptly handled. The Astoria of the future cannot exist upon the levels now established and attain to the beauty, utility and comfort in separable from her most essential im I rovement.

And more often a business house is sized up by the stationary it uses. A cheap Idler head or a poor bill head jrjves a mighty poor first impression and makes business harder to transact. Good printing costs no more than poor printing. The first im pression is half the battle in business. YtMi wouldn't employ a "sloppy" sales man; why put up with "sloppy" station cry, lhat gives a wrong impression of the importance of your business.
