BERLIN DOWN-READY FOR
ALASKA-CARRIER PIGEONS
ON INNOVATION -NORTH-ERN
FLEET LINING UP.
r
The Americao ship Berlin, laden
with supplies and cannery operatives
for the service of the Warren Pack
ing Company, at Nushagak, Alaska,
came down the river yesterday morn
ing at 8 o'clock and went to an
anchor in the citv channel She will
probably leave out on Monday next,
under command of Captain Olsen,
Captain Frye having relinquished
command of her in this port There
is one quite interesting feature of this
cruise of the Berlin, never attempted
before: and this is, that she has on
board a large coop of trained carrier
nitons, which it is the intention of
r o '
the managers at Nushagak to use in
communication with the home office
on the Columbia river, by despatch
ing one of the birds each week dur
ing the season, with a message tell
ing, in cipher, the essential news of
the plant and people up there. 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. Bel-land.
The steamship Roanoke was among

The following letter, received at
this office yesterday, is plainly indi
cative of the writer's views on a sub
ject of much interest to Clatsop and
Tillamook counties; and is published
in order to draw an expression from
home sources either for or against
the proposition submitted by Mr.
Cart wright: '
'Portland, April 9, 1908.
"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. CART WRIGHT."
