IN TERESTING FACTS BIT OF PIONEER RAILWAY HISTORY IN WHICH CYRUS OLNEY AND ASTORIA FIG URE CONSPICUOUSLY. The Astorian had the pleasure of a call yesterday from Joseph Caston, now a candidate for the Republican nomination for Railroad Commis sioner. Mr. Gaston' career makes an interestng and important chapter in the development of the State, and is especially interesting to the oeoole of Astoria on account' of hi efforts- to make Astoria the Pacific Ocean terminus of a transcontinental railroad more than 30 years ago. Judge Cyrus OIncy. one of the founders of this city, and Joseph Gas ton the caller of yesterday spent the winter og '09 and 70 at Wash ington City promoting congressional action in aid 'of railroad construction in Oregon. They succeeded in get ting: a land grant in aid of a railroad from Portland to McMinnville with a branch from the line at Forest Grove through the Kehalem Valley to As toria. Connected with that, and as an integral part of a system of rail roads to develop Oregon, it was agreed by and between the parties securing this grant that a bill should be introduced in Congress granting lands in aid of a railroad from the Central Pacific Railroad at Winne- mucca, in the State of Nevada, to Eugene City in Oregon, to be passed at that session of Congress, and that at the next ensuing Congress the secured grant should be extended from McMinnville to Eugene, thus providing a connecting grant of pub lie lands for a railroad from Wince mucca to Astoria and Portland, and making Astoria one of the Pacific Coast termini of the transcontinental Union and Central Pacific Railroad systems.

Cut Thia Out The following simple facts that everyone in Astoria should know, but which no one seems to, just at the time when he want to , most, are printed in order to ward off the re ocated inquiries in this behalf ad dressed to the reporters of this paper, and which even they cannot answer without looking it up each time: The Astoria precincts are bounded as (,,llftufs!

Joseph on the streets of Astoria yesterday, after his three months in Europe. He is looking healthy and heart yand says he is glad to be back in old Oregon, although he enjoyed every mile and hour of his soiourn abroad. - He had a dual motive in tsoing over the Atlantic; to attend to some important business for the biir establishment of which he is manager, the F. Klevenhusen Co.'s cold storage plant at Altoona;-and to visit his old home, and his mother, whom he has not seen since his boyhood, 20 vears aeo. The latter feature of the journey compensated for all else, and he Is devoutly glad he made the trip in that behalf, as are, of course, his mother and relatives in Colchester, England. Mr. Joseph visited London famhridoe. Oxford. Colchester, ere men and Berlin on the other side and had business in Chicago and New York on this side. He finds the fish market generally dull, with more fish on hand than usual at this time of the year. The raw producer is illy balanced as to quality, as the European markets requires, and this he attributes to the unreliable sources of that supply, which, in this country particularly, come primarily from the hatcheries, a source not neany so adca&ate nor generous in volumne, as natural propagation, which he firmly believes to be the best and greatest doctrines of successful fish produc tion. Mr. Joseph went over on the Kaiser Wilhelm II.," and returned on the famous and beautiful Mauretania. terns, entered into a contract to finance and secure the construction of the Oregon system. The parties to that contract were B. J. Pengra, president of the Oregon Central Mil itary Wagon Road Company; Joseph Gaston, president of the Oregon Cen tral Railroad Company; Cyrus Olncy, representing the interests of Astoria; Thomas Fitch, member of Congress of Nevada, and Mr. Huntington The bill for the land grant from Winnemucca to Eugene was intro duced in the Senate as agreed upon, but after being so introduced it was amended at the instance of Ben Hoi laday, then the owner of the Oregon and California land grant, so at to require the road from Winnemucca to connect with the Holladay road in the Rogue River Valley. That, of course, would prevent the Winne mucca line from connecting at Eugene with the erant to Astoria and that amendment defeated the whole plan, and knocked Astoria out of a con nection with the railroads ot tne country for 30 years, because Mr. Huntington at once withdrew from his agreement, to furnish the money to build the road from Winnemucca to Astoria. Holladay saw at once that if Huntington was allowed to build into Oregon he (Holladay) would have to take a back seat in the railroad development of the State. gall Will be given on Saturday evening next, March 14th, at Logan' HalL by the Swedish-Finns of Astoria.

" ;iu introduced a nqw idea to Star pa trons. The second act, showing the interior of the witches hut, with its blazing fireplace; and outside, the realistic snowstorm, the snow-decked trees, and the white-capped moun tains in the distance, spoke well foa the company's scenic artist. The last two acts were ordinary. The play in itself tells a simple interesting story not unlike many others of its class;, except that the comedy element was! far better than the average. The spec ialties of Mr. Donald and Mr. Mc Cowell were better than the usual vaudeville acts. All in all- "Sandy Bottom" is one of the most pleasing bills ye presented by this talented little company, and sheid easily fill the house during the remainder of the week. Miss Tucker as "Tib" was an excellent presentation of the part and serves perhaps better than any other she has appeared in here to emphasize her versatility.
