PLAN FAILED.
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."

A Fifty-Dollar Test
The new and handsome Pope
Hartford, 30 H. P. touring car recent
ly acquired by G. W. 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.
