MEXICO CITY, May 23.-The plan to hold the product of the last Heniquen crop until the price rose to twenty two cents per arroba has failed. Already 20,000 bales have been sold at 17 cents perarroba, and this has demoralized the market. . What is to be known as the "As toria, Seaside & Tillamook Railway Company, was organized in this city yesterday, the articles of incor poration being drawn by Attorney A. M. Smith, and signed by F. L. Evans. 11. G. Van Duscn, E. Z. Ferguson and J. M. Buffum. The document is framed to conform to the territorial laws of Arizona and will be duly filed at Phoenix and in this city ,in due course ot time. The purpose of the organization is to create and maintain a full electric transportation service between th terminal points named, and also a city service line in Astoria, all of which will be added to from time to time as the growth of the towns and terri tory covered shall demand. Engineers will enter the field in a few days; headquarters will be open ed and maintained in this city, and the work of securing the rights-of-way and the necessary franchises will be taken up and prosecuted just as rapidly as good management and the exigencies of the enterprise dic tate. This enterprise is of a public char acter and will contribute quite as much to the upbuilding and progress of Clatsop and Tillamook counties as anything now in contemplation, an.l from the well known attitude of its projectors and its schemes of devel opment, would seem to demand the heartiest support of the entire com munities involved in its exploitation. It is one of the cardinal hopes of the people f both counties that some such line of transit and traffic as this would be, sooner or later, consum mated; and this step is in the right direction and will engage the eager interest of all men in touch with the proposition, either as investor or di rect beneficiary. F. L. Evans, the promoter of th? enterprise, is also conducting an un dertaking of similar character and scope in the Rogue River Valley and it is progressing steadily to comple tion. He is a civil engineer by pro fession, and a native of the State of New York, and thoroughly qualified to carry the matter to a gratifying conclusion, practically and financially. He believes in the force of numbers as a means to the accomplishment of all large enterprises, and 'to this end he requests the hearty co-operation of the citizens of this city and county in the launching and prosecu tion of this commendable and neces sitous enterprise. Mr. Evans is domiciled at , the Hotel Occident and is accessible at all times to those whose interest shall lead them to confer with him on this new venture; and he is pre pared to satisfy the most exactly in quirer who may seek'him, and to go into all details of the new and laud able project. Secretary John II. Whytc of the Chamber of Commerce, speaking of this proposition, yesterday, said: "The Astoria, Seaside & Tilla mook Railroad Company was incor porated in this city yesterday with $2,000,000 capital stock. This electric proposition is being helped by local people, some of whom arc the leaders in the various businesses in which they are engaged. Mr. F. L. Evans, who came here for that purpose, will have charge of the affairs of this com pany, will be pushed most rapidly from this time on. He will try to be present at the regular meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, Monday night and explain the proposition. The survey will be made immediately and the right-of-way secured. As soon as these two details have been com pleted, it is the intention to begin im mediate construction. Those who are interested in the matter are invited to be present at Monday night's meet ing." Continuing, Mr. Whyte said: "The oil proposition is now about in shape and further details will be made known concerning it at this meeting, and also there will be considerable information to be given out concern ing the Alaska steamship proposition in which there are also some promi nent local people interested. A gen eral convention has been called on July 4th of Alaska parties. "It may be said in a general way that this railroad proposition is being taken up in a manner so substantial by the people interested in i that not even financial hard times can defeat its construction."

Sanborn of this city, became the subject of friendly discussion yesterday between its own er and G. C. Fulton, another anto en thusiast on the score of its high-gear faculties. Mr. Fulton insisted that the car could not, under- high-gear pressure, make the crest of the Six teenth street hill, and to convince Mr. Sanborn of his real conviction in the premise, wagered him a half hun dred "simoleons"; Mr. Sanborn, be ing given to accentuating his own deductions on matters-automobiliac (especially when he happen. to own the "beel") promptly took the friendly wager, and putting his fine machine on its high-gear mettle, started from the Pracl-Eigncr barn on Commercial street, with four passengers, and went sailing to the crest1 of the Sixteenth street grade, slipping over the1 top of it, at a 15-milc clip with ease and "then some." F. L. Parker, who had been chosen as judge in the test, promptly awarded the "ducats' to Mr. Sanborn, and Mr. Fulton, as prompt ly, handed them over. Statement to Voters. The office of County Coroner is not a political but a judiciary office as much so as the Circuit Judge or Jus tice of the Peace. In aspiring to that office I would just as soon ask a Re publican, as a Democrat, Socialist or nonpartisan for his support, as the office should be and during my in cumbency always has been conducted without regard to politics. I have resided in Clatsop County for 34 years, my whole interests are here, and I expect to remain here. I have tried to conduct the office with impartiality and ' fairness and with a due regard to the interest of the taxpayers. The annual appropria tions of the County Court for the Coroner's office which includes, physi cians, jurors and witness fees and other necessary expenses such as boat hire have been $600.00 and the actual expense has often been much below this figure. I have always deemed it an honor to be Coroner and am filling to submit the matter of my re-election to the voters on my record during my long tenure in the office. W, C.A. POHL.
