,a tnan by tha name of Olbaon appeared
;in Msrshfleld and propoaad to build a

take notice. In fact they did mora than
that About 120,000 vu subscribed to
assist In tha enterprise. "Tha long-felt
i want" waa about to be supplied, 'the
orylng need" wae about to be remedied.
Another dream:
The "crying need" became a howl."
"the long-felt want" became actual mls
ary. The dally paper here took up the
cry. With the only hotel In the city
turning away aa high aa BO people In
one day something lied to be done, and
done right away.
Fortunately Marahfleld had a man
who wi equal to the situation William
Orlmei. The psychological moment had
evidently arrived, for In one half day
165,000 of the 176,000 wanted wae
ralaad. Since that time the required
amount haa been raised, most of It by
voluntary subscriptions. There is no
doubt now that the hotel will be built,
and right away, push, energy and de

which la probably unknown, and It la
doubtful If anybody particularly wanta

"natives" ware the only ones who were
astonished, and many were heard to re

told that It waa, and given the name of
the grower, he went to hunt hlm'up to

Pacific Railway t Navigation Company'i .Track In Front of Bay City. Since tbla Photograph Was Taken
, .; ' a Week Ago, the Trestle to the Left Has Been Completed.
I In spite of tha scarcity of laborers
,tha construction of the Tillamook dlvis
a on of tha Pacific Railway and Naviga
tion company's Una to Bay City and
Tillamook Is proceeding steadily,
jp "We are striving hard to get 16 miles
of track laid at Tillamook Bay before
jthe first of the year," said A. C. U.
Berry, representing Robert Wakefield,
the contractor on the Tillamook division,
Yesterday. "We need both men and
teams, but. we now have seven gangs
tit work, and will keep right on during
jthe winter. One gang Is at Tillamook,
ne at Idavflle, one at the mouth of the
, iuaml river, where work on the steel
Iiridgs will commence next week, and
four gangs are between Bay City and
Hobsonvllle.
The formation Is sand rock and It
driea out so quickly, even in the winter,
that it will be possible for the men to
work on the steam ahovela at least at
any season.
"The barge Wallacut will reach Port
land early next week and In another
week will leave for Tillamook Bay with
the cylinder piers for the steel bridges
across the Miami, Wilson and Kilchis
rivers, steel for six miles of track, the
second steam shovel to be sent down
by us, and another complete grading
outfit."
Progress is also being made by the
contractors on the Hlllsboro division of
the road. The longest tunnel, accord
ing to the survey, is one of 1,400 feet
near the 25-mlle post. Here the tunnel
gang has been making excellent time,
and 950 feet of the tunnel has been fin
ished, and the whole tunnel will be
completed by November 1.
' Twenty-one miles of grade out of
Hlllsboro have been finished and the
rails laid for almost the entire distance.
The steel used on this portion of the
road Is of the 65-pound type.
Though the contractora on the Tilla
mook division have been paying 12 60
and a day for laborers, it has been
a difficult matter to get sufficient men
for rapid construction. For the next
few weeks teams also will be in great
demand.
The Paelflc Railway & Navigation
company makes the statement that It
fully expects to have trains running
from Portland to Tillamook Bay by
November 1, 1901
The nrlxes for this fruit exhibit will
be given on September 16. nr. Withy
combe and Professors Kerr and Lewis
of the Agricultural college of Corvallls
will be the Judges.
The C. A. Smith mill, with a capacity
Of 250,000 feet per day, Is now under
roof and rapidly nearlng completion.
The courteney Lumber company s
mill, with a capuclty of 75.000 feet nef
day, will also soon be in operation.
Within one- year the dally output of
lumber will be 600,000 feet. Add to
this the proper adjuncts that will be
added to the new mills In the way of
planing mills, shingle mills, door and
sash factories, etc., and It will be easy
to Imagine a very busy place.
Four large concrete, cut stone and
brick buildings are now under con
struction, all to be completed within
the year, to say nothing of the hundreds
of private residences going up all over
the bay, together with the hundreds
contemplated, easily verifies the first
line of this article, "Something doing
every minute."
Every boat and every stage coming
In Is loaded to the guarda, and about
the only time you hear anything about
a railroad Is when some visitor com
plains about how long it took him to
get here. Everybody else is busy with
his business and gives It no thought.
OUR Woolen Stock is note worth jr the largest and finest in Portland. In our selec
tions 'we reject many fabrics that would satisfy most tailors and accept only
the "pick" of the best. This compels us to adopt a very extensive buying campaign
each season, but as a result we show a line from the representative mills of America,
Scotland, England, Ireland, Belgium and Germany, that has few equals in the United
States. It's a line worthy the consideration of every man in town. Our work is rais
ing the standard of attire in this city. We're making better, garments for less money
than have ever been obtainable here before. Columbia Tailoring is a high-character
proposition and one of economy. It ought to interest ycu. '
