Some are of the opinion that the flight will be too great for the birds, but those who have dealt with these marvels of nature will give them all the assur ance needed to counteract such an idea. ' The good ship Henry Villard is just about loaded, at the A. & C. dock, save for the minor supplies of the ship. Her crew has been engaged and is on hoard and the cannery em ployes are being qualified and equip ped and sent on board as rapidly as possible. She is awaiting the arrival of some new sails, and as soon as these are bent she will haul into the stream, probably on Tuesday next, and Captain Davidson hopes to sail for the north on the day following. The fine American ship St. Nich olas, outfitting for her northern cruise to Nushagak, in the interest of the Columbia River Packers' Associa tion, is steadily tilling ner noias anu bunkers and storage rooms with sup plies and baggage and all the impedi menta of the voyage, and win get away with the rest of the fleet during the middle of the coming week. she will take out several families this year, including those of Captain Fritz Anton and Manager L. 0.

"F.ditor Daily Astorian. "Dear Sir: I notice that Clatsop county, in conjunction with 1 illa- mook county, is about to build a wagon road from Astoria to the Ne- halem over the mountain. The writer, who has been touring the world for the past two years, and whose home is in London, has gone along the coast to Nehalem. To me, it seems a pity that the road could not be made along the beach the entire distance. Ad mitting that the first cost would be immensely greater, will it pay to go to this extra expense? I think so. It would not be difficult to build a road from Elk Creek to Arch Cape. Humbug Point and Hug Point could easily be gone over or a short tun nel could be cut through them. I believe the Tillamook county line be gins at Arch Cape. In Tillamook county the greatest obstacles would be encountered. The road would have to be run around Cape Falcon and Carui mountain, necessitating prob ably, not more than a half mile of rock work. With this road completed the most beautiful beach in the world would be accessable. Where now are trees, decaysd logs and scrubby brush, beautiful houses would be erected. Summer homes would dot the beach from Elk Creek to Garibaldi. Where now but a small tax is derived from acreage, with the coming of the road this acreage will be cut up into lots houses built and these lots and houses taxed. This increase in taxes would more than pay for the road in a few years. Thousands upon thousands would send their relatives touring alone this road during the summer Millions of dollars would be left in both counties by these sightseers. "Further, post cards representing different points of object, and I can truthfully say that in all my travels, 1 have never seen a tnore sublime and beautiful sight than along this coast, especially from Carnie mountain and these cards would naturally be sent to all parts of the world and be the trreatest advetriserrtent the counties could ever hope to get. People who would locate along the coast would have money, and they are the people you want. The proposed road through the mountains would attract no one nor would any. one build homes. But run the road along the' coast to Ne halem and see the houses spring up n conclusion. I hope the commission ers of the two counties will see fit to run the road along the coast and open up this scenic wonder to the world, which will make the two counties fa mous, make this now unoccupied lane teem with pretty summer homes, open market for the settlers in the coun. ties and increase the taxes of the counties beyond the expectations of the oldest resident, as these summer dwellers would be willing to pay their ihare on their lots and houses,' and heln boost the counties. Commission ers, give this your careful consider ation. I am yours for the best in terest of the lovers of the beautiful, and the benefit of both counties. "LODD D.
