YESTERDAY
STEAMSHIP KATANGA ENTERS
PORT WITHOUT A PILOT -DAUNTLESS
OUT WITH SEA
RAFT THIS MORNING THE
GUERNSEY OFF FOR PORT-LAND-ODDS
AND ENDS.
The fine British steamship Katanga,
12 days out from Guaymas, Mexico,
crossed in yesterday at noon, with
Captain James McBride on the bridge.
The Kantanga had strong nor'west
west gales all the way up, as far as
Cape Blanco, when they subsided a
bit She made the Columbia bar yes
terday morning at 6 o'clock, and look
ed in vain for the pilot boat, which
was probably to seaward in the dense
fog that was reported by everything
that entered port yesterday before
noon. Captain McBride says he made
several out-runs in search of the
Pulitzer, but failed to see her; then
he went under the lee of the light
ship and megaphoned a lot of in
quiries to her, but failed to elicit any
notice, according to his story of it.
Then he made up his mind to come
in and this he did working his ship
to quarantine ground on the bar and
channel buoys without any trouble.
He was in water ballast and light.
Unfortunately, every pilot on the bar
was charged with orders for him to
proceed to Seattle, te- load grain out
for the Orient, and the bar tug mas
ters were also waiting to hand him
these at sea, but he missed them all,
and will probably leave out this morn
ing for the Sound. The Katanga is in
splendid shape and a heavy carrier
and Captain McBride and his officers
are a cordial and pleasnt lot.

PLAIN STATEMENT OF PUR
POSE OF PROJECTORS OF
THE ELECTRIC ROAD HENCE
TO SEASIDE AND TILLA
MOOK TO BE PURELY A
HOME CONCERN.
The incorporators of the Oregon &
Sea Coast Railway Company have
completed their corporation and Mr.
H. G. Van Dusen and Mr. E. Z. Fer-
mison were annomtea to open tne
Stock book and receive subscriptions
to the Capital Stock.
For the information of that portion
of the public that are not already
familiar with the circumstances it U
here stated that this corporation is
formed for the express purpose of
causing a survey to be made from
Astoria to Seaside and probably from
Seaside to Tillamook, and to obtain
the right of way along said surveyed
line. After the survey and the right
of way have been obtained the Comp
any will enter into a contract with
some party or parties, by which it
will agree to-convey this right of
way to them, when they have con
structed an electric railroad to Sea
side, or to Tillamook as the case may
be.
The stockholders of this corpora
tion will all be local residents of As-
etoria, Seaside and Tillamook, and
the corporation a strictly home con
cern. It is the intention hat this
survey and right of way shall remain
the absolute property of this home
comany until an electric road shall be
completed to Seaside.
The Canital Stock of the corpora
tion is $10,000, and although Mr. Van
Dusen and Mr. Ferguson have anly
devoted a few hours to the matter
there is now subscribed over $2,000.
It is believed that the best interest
of the community will be served by
spreading this stock generally
through the County so that all will
be interested in the road, and it is
therefore requested that anyone will
ing to subscribe stock in this corpora
tion will call at the office of Van
Dusen & Co. where the books will
be open for this purpose.
Mr. Van Dusen and Mr. I-erguson
say that wnne tney are more man
willine to solicit stock subscriptions
their business interests make it im
possible for them to give the matter
all of their time, and that as the
pntire Countv and every individual
in it is or should be interested in this
matter, they trust that the people
will come forward voluntarily. It is
verv important that no time be lost
and that the surveyors be gotten in
the field at once.
It is the intention to call a stock
holders meeting just as soon as suf
ficient of the stock, not less than one
half, has been subscribed and every
tockholder will have the opportun
ity of being present, assisting in
electing the board of directors and
determining on the course to be tol
lowed by the corporation.

nlare of Commissioner William L,ar
sen will be filled by r red 11. Aioorc
Sr-Qciflf thp onlv new member. At
the meeting this morning the pnn
cipal subject to be discussed will be
the county roads. Judge Trenchard
went to Seaside again yesterday, this
time going on the north side of the
Necanicum, and he said yesterday
that he. believes it the best plan that a
bridge be constructed over the mouth
of the Necanicum. This win require
a bridge about one-half mile long, a
pretty expensive propoition, but once
constructed it will open up the long
and beautiful beach road to beasule
Variou small towns are making ap
peals for roads to connect from the
beach to the county road, three or
four in all. but it is probable that
the county court will not see its way
clear to construct these connecting
thoroughfares for some time to come.
