Commerce to report on the Portland.
Oregon and Seacoast Railway Com
pany's proposition to build a railroad
IS miles up the Nehalem Valley from
Clatsop City, extended to President H.
Hawgood of that road, has been
accepted.
Mr. Hawgood has telegraphed the
Chamber of Commerce that he will
come to Astoria as soon as prior en.
gagements have been satisfied. His
presence here will rapidly clear up all
details concerning this new railroad
enterprise and it seems more certain
day by day that the road will be

schnltt which stated that 449 rails had
broken during 'February, of which 179
wore 90-pounfl rails which hd been
used only five or six months. This
was an Indication, It was stated, of
what the railroads had to contend
with.
In response Judge Oary made the
stntement that rails are manufactured
according to the express specifications
of the railway companies, under direct
supervision of Inspectors of the rail
road, who tented the rails before do
livery. Judge Gary further said:
"It Is true that rallmakers ore re.
celvlng complaints from railroad, re
garding the breakages, with the result
that steel manufacturers are meet
ing railroad exports for the purpose of
determining what, If any, can be done
to prevent accidents. If rail, were
heavier less would be broken.
"In my Judgment, to meet the de
mands Vrom the heavier equipment

now employed by the lending railroad,
a rait weighing 110 pounds to the yarJ,
should be the standard heavy rail. In.
stead of the 10 and 90 pound rail now
