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. Upon that greement Collis

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

After Twenty Years
iii. hswta nf friends were elad to
1119 - - - - - w
greet Edward H. 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.

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.
