I Evans, who is promoting the project for the new electric line to Seaside, and L. C. Rogers, the civil engineer in chief, both talked freely yesterday to a representative of The Astorian in regard to the railway project. Once the line is open and in operation, it will have unbounded in fluence in opening up the country through which it runs," said Mr. Evans. "That s . a fine country out there, and all it heeds is a railway to open it up. The electric line is the one thing required. With it in oper ation the farmer can come to town any time he wants, small freight ship ments can be handled, the market gardener can bring in his stuff to town every day at very slight cost, and the thousands of acres of unde veloped lands are bound to be devel oped simply because they will be easy of access and in immediate touch with the markets of Astoria." Other things along the same line Kir. Evans said. That he is a man who believes in what he says seems evident. - He js accustomed to big projects and to carrying them out "Of course the line will be put through?" suggested the reported ten tatively. "The line will be put through," he replied. "I wouldn't be here if it wasn't going through in first-class ahape. I'm not spending my .own money, for nothing, too," he went on with a smile. Mr. Rogers, the engineer, is the iilent member of the firm. "The en gineer's office is always place, but at the same time the place the least talk is going on," said Mr. Rogers. , "We are sorry that we can't tell you just how and where the line will leave Astoria," said Mr. Rogers. "We don't know that ourselves yet. But we can readily chose one of several routes to get out of Jhe city; the one important fact is that we will run the Kne right into the city somewhere." It is understood that the line may go out of the city over the heights. From Young's bridge the route is fairly well mapped out. It is plan ned to construct trestle over the river paralleling the Young's river fcridge, and once across the bridge the route will proceed in a straight line to the Lewis and Clark bridge; thence By the shortest possible route to Warrenton. The line will touch in or near Ocean View, thence down the eoast to Seaside. , Both Mr. Evans and Mr. Rodgers are men, who are accustomed to do things. Monday, or some other time the early part of next week, the en gineering corps will start out at their work. First of all the levels will be run over the heights, probably at sev eral different points, merely to get an idea of the altitudes and these tenta tive lines will not indicate in any manner that one of them" is to cer lainly be the location of the electric railway line. Nevertheless it seems quite likely now that the line will go over the heights at some point, and no matter where it goes, this fact will undoubtedly prove of the great est benefit to the residents there. It will mean that the magnificent build ing sites up there will become acces sible to everyone. DONE BY DEED Hannah Rodney Morris to Astoria Abstract Title & Trust Co., several tracts; $1000.

But Following This Foraker Adds A Quick Vote of Dispraise. CINCINNATI, Ohio, July 2 Praise for the presidency of Wm, H Taft, republican nominee for presi dent, and criticism for him in that he favors the Roosevelt policies, formed a part of a speech delivered yester clay by U. S. Senator Foraker at the Chambe of Commerce in this city, the occasion being the observance of "Sunshine day" founded by an as sociation "organized for the purpose of bringing about, better times by striving to forget that there have been any other kind." When Mr. Foraker referred to Mr. Taft as " a man who in character is all that could be de sired", he was interrupted by cheers. When the applause had , ceased he continued: "But unfortunately there is one fa tal weakness in the candidate in that he favors a continuance of the so-cal led Roosevelt policies, of which have already had too much." we PAY FOR EMPLOYMENT .
