RAILROAD WORK WILL
BE PROSECUTED
At the recent directors meeting of
(tic Astoria Coast Railroad Company
it was unanimously decided to con-
pimic the survey which ha been com
pleted as far ax Seaside.
The work done by the engineer in
charge, Capt. F, G. Evans, ha been
very latisfactory, and all cem ready
to assist him in continuing in the work
necessary to put the road in condi
tion to finance.
Mr. Evans was appointed to go to
Tillamook to ask tliepcop)e of that
city to take up the lower end of the
survey. Mr. W. E. Buffum was ap
pointed to assist in the work with
Mr, Evans, If the Tillamook people'
are as much interested as the people
of our city their work will be short
and easy. In conversation today Mr.
Evans said "1 wish to thank the ato
pic of Astoria and vicinity for the
very strong support to the enterprise
both financially and by their good
wishes. In no place have I met a
people who enter into enterprises
with the whole fouled stvle that has
been demonstrated in this instance."
Mr. Evan promises when he and
Mr. Buffum return from the sktr-
city the will have completed the
necessary preliminary financing to
complete the survey and that work
will be pushed to completion before
the winter rains ct in.
Southern Orcgnn country, which he
enjoyed heartily. He report that
Medford is rich in boosters and auto
mobile, and one of the really beauti
ful sections of Oregon; but that a
man who wants to know the real
fact, has to get away on the quiet
and find the unprofessional citizen,
who calmly tells one the truth, and
that is good enough without any em
bellishments. Dick did not invest
down there, but says it is a country
to invite investment alright .
Modern Coal Bunkers
Samuel Elmore & Company have
just about completed the new electri
cal coal hoist and bunkers on the
Elmore pier at the foot of Third
street, and the plant being thus mod
trnied, will handle, in or out, 350 tons
of coal a day, as against the old sys
tem' 160 tons. Thj elevator stands
at the edge of the pier and the hoist
overhangs the channel, with elevated
railways' running out on both side
and a-loft, and dumps the coal from
two-ton cars to any point onx the
bunker dock below that .may fie de
sired. The company has put about
$3000 into this device and it will add
notably to the dispatch of the busi
ness for all concerned.

MORE SOLDIERS
ONLY TWO COMPANIES AT FT,
STEVENS WHILE THERE
SHOULD BE FIVE
COMPANIES.
A matter of importance that will
come, before the Chamber of Com
merce at us meeting tomorrow night
i the movement to secure a full com
plement of men for Fort Stevens. At
the present time there are only two
companies of men at Fort Stevens
while there should be five companies.
In the two companies already located
at Fort Stevens there are respectively
75 and 80 men. If the entire number
of men that the fort would accommo
dat were stationed there Fort Stevens
should spend $30,000 i ore in Astoria
than is now expended. ,
Captain Lamoreaux has been in
formed that an extra company of
men may be expected at Fort Stev
ens from San Francisco within a very
short time but there will still be an
opportunity for two additional com
panies. And these perhaps might be
had by calling the attention of the
War Department in Washington to
the fact that Fort Stevens does not
have as many men as the quarters
will accommodate;
It is of interest to know that Cap
tain Lamoreaux has been successful
in securing a gymnasium appropria
tion and that a modernly .equipped
gymnasium will be provided at Fort
Stevens. He has not yet been given
the authority to construct the gymna
sium building but this may be expect
ed within a reasonable time.
Another thing that the Chamber
of Commerce might take an interest
in is Fort Canby, on the other side of
the river from Fort Stevens. As a
matter of fact much has been done in
the way of improving Fort Canby and
some modern guns have been mount
ed there, but these are not provided
with a electric power plant and until
such a plant has been put in place Fort
Canby is as useless with the guns as
it was without them.
The Chamber, of Commerce will
hold its regular meeting at 8 o'clock
tomorrow evening when, the special
order of business will be" the consid
eration of the Port of Astoria bill.
The following letter was sent out
yesterday to the members of the
Chamber calling their attention to
this special order of business and also
to the fact that the underwriter for
the electric railway proposition will
be in Astoria on the 25th and suggest
ing that something in the way of a
smoker be provided for his entertain
ment, to give an opportunity for
some of the prominent citizens to set
forth facts and figures with regard to
the resources of-Astoria and Clatsop
county:
"We wish to call your attention to
the fact that the Port of Astoria bill
has been made a special order of busi
ness for next Monday night, Septem
ber 14th. at 8 p. m. All citizens are
probably especially interested.
"Another important feature to
which I call your attention is that
Mr. Evans, the pVomoter of the elec
ric railway has arranged for the un
derwriters' representative to visit
Astoria . on September 25th. The
Chamber of Commerce could profit
ably arrange a smoker at which some;
