Alley, of Tillamook, arrived back from Port land, yesterday on the noon express, en route to hi home and business. He succeeded in closing a very satis factory negotiation for a big rock- crusher, road roller, boiler and en gine, for use on the Tillamook roads', and the same will be shipped in there by the first vessel leaving here after their arrival at Astoria. Mr. Alley was unfortunate in missing every craft that has sailed out of here for Tillamook during the past 30 hours, and will leave for Seaside this morning, from which place he will do a Weston stunt over the dim and difficult trails to his home 28 miles beyond there. He is a rustler, any how, and 30 or 40 miles of walking, more or less, does not fcaze him any. He is road builder and if ever Tilla mook and Astoria are linked up it will be largely to the credit of Mr. Alley and his spirited way of doing things. ANSWERES DEATH'S CALL FRED S.
