F. A. FISHER'S TRIP
OF INSPECTION
HE MADE THE TRIP WITH
PRESIDENT LEWIS RUSSELL
OF THE PORTLAND AUTO
MOBILE CLUB.
N One of the matters of extraordinary
interest, (especially to autoruobihsts
and good road enthusiasts generally,
which was considered at Monday
nights very largely attended meet
ing of the Chamber of Commerce,
was the special report of Chairman
F. A. Fisher of the Roads and High
ways Committee of the Chamber on
the trip of inspection he made from
St. Helens to Mist over the proposed
Portland and Astoria automobile
route.
! He made this trip with President
Lewis Russell of the Portland Auto
mobilie Club and his report throws
more light upon the subject than has
yet been possible. Mr. Russell will
be in Astoria in a few days and it
' now seems more than likely some
automobile enthusiast will be able to
secure more or less reputation for
himself during the month of July or
August by driving his machine all the
way from Seaside to Portland.
Mr. Fisher's report, however,
speaks for itself. It is as follows:
"I have to report that in company
, with President Lewis Russell of the
Portland Automobile Club I made a
trip of inspection over that portion
of the proposed, Portland and Astor
ia automobile road lying in Colum
bia County from St. Helens to Mist,
a distance of 30 miles.
"On Wednesday night, April 8th,
I met Mr. Russell in St. Helens by
appointment and on Thursday morn
ing at 8:45 we left Houlton for Yank
ton in a small rig, finding three and
one-half miles of the road for this
distance fairly good. It took us an
hour to drive from Houlton to Yank
ton, and at the latter place we learned
that had we taken the road at Warren
for Yankton we could have cut off
about five miles of the distance. ,
"From Yankton we went to Pitts
burg, which is 16 1-2 miles distant,
arriving there at S o'clock P. M.
For this entire distance the grade is
very good not exceeding 20 per cent."
and some narts of this stretch 5s I
graveled while others are dirt and
puncheon. On the whole excepting
a few places the road between these
two towns is not bad by any means.
Of course, the puncheon road is the
worst that can be put in for auto
mobiles. "Leaving' Pittsburg we took the
toria at an early date probably this
week or next and go over bdth the
Nchatem and Seaside roads with me
and I would suggest that some work
be done on our own road within the
dy limits, especially around Smith's
Point from the end of the Bond strec
roadway particularly to fill up the
ruts. A ditch should be dug and the
sink hole repaired at the Christian
Staughter House where I recently
struck on my way to Seaside. There
is no possible way to avoid this place.
This is a good road but in bad repair.
Tf the matter is called to the attention
of the road master I am sure that is
all that will be necessary. The plank
ing across the tide land from Young's
Bay dyke to the Lewis and Clark
River is out of place but one man in
a couple of days could repair this.
And I feel that if the road master's
attention is called to it, it would
speekily be done and will assist in a
most excellent cause, that of hurrying
forward the entire good road from
Portland to Astoria. Once this road
is put in shape so that automobiles
can come from Portland to Astoria
the hotels especially in Astoria will
reap a greater reward pernaps man
from the railroad travel. Automo
biles will make it a point to leave
Portland on Friday or Saturday even
ing and come through to Astoria and
Seaside".

PAINTINGS TO BE RETURNED.
r
NEW YORK, April 14.-Rather
than have the collection of paintings
sent here by Russian artists for ex
hibition at the St. Louis Exposition
sold at public auction, the Russian
government has arranged to have the
paintings returned to Russia. This
is the reason why the collection has
been suddenly withdrawn from the
sale at the stores. There are 472
paintings in the lot and they include
some by the best artists of Russia.
After the St. Louis exposition several
of 'the original collection were sold
and the appraised duty paid. Those
not disposed of were placed in bond
and there they remained. When the
time came for their removal or the
payment of the duty the government
could not find an owner for them so
they were advertised to be sold.
