Money is reported "tight" just at present It is in good demand. There has been about 8100,000 sent away for timber claims, a good deal is tied up in real estate, and by far the largest amount is in the salmon business in such a shape that it can't very well be withdrawn before next September. This is why a man can't raise 375,000 to secure a block, a good bny, all in one afternoon. Chief engineer Weeks received a letter from the Silsby Manufacturing Co., of Seneca Falls, N. Y., last even ing, stating that the set of hanging tubes for Rescue No. 2's engine had been shipped on the 17th inst They will probably get here in time to be put in place before the Fourth of July.

"I want to stay right here in Oregon." was tne reply. Tender, Juicy Steak at Jeff's. BROAD SAM RAILROAD To Be Built By Broad Gauge Men. Prom Astoria to Connect With the 0.& 0- That is the Assnrert and Definite Prosram. The board of directors of the As toria and South Coast railroad com pany and the representatives of the Pacific Construction company had a meeting in the office of the company at nine o'clock yesterday morning, which lasted till eleven. Considerable important business was transacted. The resignation of Mr. Jno. A. Dev lin as president of the Astoria and South Coast road, which had been laid over fron a previous meeting, was, on motion, accepted. The resig nation of M. C. Crosby, as director, was also accepted. Action upon the resignation of D. Morgan as director, was deferred. Win. Ueid and E. P. Thompson were then elected directors. Wm. Reidwas then elected president of the road. The gentlemen who resigned did so with design to admit two or three directors who will act jointly with the local directors. When the entire ar rangement is made there will be five directors from Astoria and four from elsewhere, leaving the control of af fairs in the hands of residents of this city. This will probably be brought about at the next election in October. The whole matter now stauds this way, and to make to clear it will be necessary to repeat some of what has previously been published in The Astorian as the developments tran spired from day to day: The Astoria and South Coast Rail way Co., builds the road. Tho road is to be extended about a mile farther than originally contemplated. It runs clear through what is known as "the Gearhart Woods" aud extends to the Ocean house, or Mrs. Byrd's place. The 175,000 paid or pledged by As torians is to be paid in. The Pacific Construction company pays in 8200, 000 additional, and takes that amount of stock in the Astoria and South Coast Railway Co. That 8200,000 in stock is to bo placed in the hands of D. K. Warren as trustee. Work is to be pushed with all possible diligence and the road is to be completed as rapidly as iwssiblo. The road is to run from tho proposed present ter minus in the most direct route to the Nehalem and is to connect with the Oregon and Californiajstandard guage railway or tho Portland and Will amette Valley railway in Washington or Yumhill, or iu Washington and Yamhill counties. The road (which is the Astoria and South Coast railroad right though) is to be completed to such connection by September 15th, 1891. This is guaranteed by the Pa cific Construction company, an organization with one hun dred million dollars. The road will be about 100 miles in length. The Astoria and South Coast road is to issue to the Pacific Construction 820, 000 in stock and 810,000 in bonds per mile as fast as the road is completed and accepted. The Pacific Construc tion company is to furnish the Astoria and South Coast Railway Co., all the money necessary to build, equip and place in operation the entire road. The above is definite and accurate, and is the whole business in a liut shfil. The iron was ordered yesterday: also six cars, three construction and three passenger, to be built in this city under competent superintendence. The intent is to have cars running to the seashore by the 10th of August Work on the bridge begins nt ence: the one company will begin from the middle of the channel iu Young's bav and build eastward: the other begins in the same place aud lmilds west ward. Contracts were let yesterday for the bridges required from Skipa" non westward. And having written thus far and outlined the scheme, the writer feels as though he would like to per sonally congratulate and shako hands with every man, woman and child in the county over the successful starting of this great scheme, which gives us not only a road to the seashore, bnt a broad gauge outlet to everywhere in the Union that a locomotive turns a wheel. It has taken lots of talk, lots of writing, a vast amount of effort,and that for wliich so many have worked toward for years is now an assured fact It is so easy to write this now, out. it means so mucn. It means that our isolation ceases that deep 6ea ships will lino our wharves: that our coal and lumber will be worked un into a ereat trade that we will handle tho outgoing and incoming commerce of the nerthwest: that stately warehouses and solid structures will rise on every hand: that Astoria will awake from its sleep and assume the dignity that God and Nature designed she sheuld: that our wonderful resources shall be devel devel oped: that factories and workshops and mills shall rise on every outlying slepe: that in five years Astoria will nave ou,uuu people an underestimate. It means all this and much more, and The Astokian takes most cor dial pleasure in sincerely congratulat ing the entire community on the re sult of all this railroad talk and ef fort "Tall oaks from little acorns grow," and Astoria's modest efforts to have a railroad to the Seaside now results in assurance of transcontinental con nection. "It is almost too oood to be true." said a prominent resident yesterday in talking over the matter. But this here written in this column is the exact and sober truth. Nothing is too good for Astoria. The road, broad gauge and stan dard, first class in all it appointments and thoroughly equipped will be built in time for the Oregon delegation to the 53rd congress to take through cars at the AstoriaUepot to the nation al capital at Washington, D. O. At The Bazaar. for the next ten days at Mrs. Rappleyea & Co's Bazaar. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. J. E. Brallier to Bellina Owens Crosby tract sec 28, T. 8 N. Jit. 10 Y. 5HU0. E. L. G. Steele to A. V.

TheJNew York World, Herald and other effete dailies of the metropolis predicted a dismal failure, but the result shows they were mis taken. We figured that this other business would be just what we needed to distract our mind from the harassing thoughts of editorially run ning this country,, and that we would be all the better and brighter for be ing occasionally interrupted in our literary labors. The result has justi fied our predictions and more. We were never iu as good mental condi tion a3 now, while our salea have kept increasing week by week until we have been compelled to hire a clerk to assist us. The editorial entitled "Advice to the President" was writ ten with more than a dozen interrup tions to measure corn, draw molasses and sell clothes-pins, and yet we will put it against anything that ever orig inated from tho pen of the stuck-up and exclusive New York editors. Arizona Kicker. A Rrand Performance. The opera house'has not been so packed in a year, except Decoration night, as it was last evening. And everybody was pleased. The Georgie wooaturope company presented the "Golden Giant," a strong western tragedy m five acts and the characters were admirably taken. There was not a clumsy or amateur move ment from beginning to end. Georgie Woodthrope is charming in her simple naivete, Mr. Barrymore is fairly adapted in build, voice and gesture for the tragic role, while no better conception could be had for tho true hearted, though rollicking, friend, than Mr. Wood. Miss Stover also made a splendid impression when her part required the pathetic or the tragic turn. Franklin mado an ex cellent scalawag, while Brouson could not bo excelled as the chief villain of the plot, nor Cor bett as his pliant dupe. And little Georgia Cooper, a six-year old, brought down the house by a recita tion that would do honor to n much older elocutionist Salem States man. - A. & S. C. R. R. Jleetinz. There will be a meeting of the stock holders of the Astoria and South Coast Railroad Co:, at the company's office in this city at 2 o'clock, p. si., on July 10th, for the purpose of authorizing the directors to execute and file snp pclmental articles of incorporation providing for the construction of a line of railroad to a connection with the Oregon & California Railroad and the Willamette Valley Railroad com pany in Yamhill and Washington counties from the city of Astoria and other necessary branch lines.

Fort Wayne, Ind., June 26. The recent terrible disaster in the Cone maugh valley has directed public at tention to the evidently dangerous situation of affairs at Rome City, Noble county, Ind. At this ooint, thirty-seven miles" north of" Fort Wayne, on the Grand Rapids and Indiana railroad, there is a great body of water, covering a territory of sev eral'square miles and of considerable depth. This-is a reservoir, or arti ficial lake, that was dammed up many years ago to serve as a feeder for a canal that was never conipleted. The canal has long since ceased to exist in that part of the country, and its bed is used as a wagon road for several miles. The large body of water re mains there, however. A branch of the Elkhart river receives its supply from that reservoir, and after union with other branches passes through South Bend, Elkhart and other larcre cities of northern Indiana. At South Bend aro tho Studerbaker Wagon Works, the Oliver Chilled Plow Works, and all along the stream are manufacturing interests of great mag nitude. The volume of water in the Rome City lakes is larger by far than that which was released by the break ing of tho South Forks dam. The height of the lako above the branch of the Elkhart river, which takes its beginning from tho ilow of water over tne comu oi tne nam, is about 20 reet. Rome City is a summer resort, tho place of annual meeting of the West ern Chautauqua , association, aud is the best paying passenger station be tween Fort Wayno and Grand Rapids. The railway company owns all the valuable privileges, nnd is the princi pal party at interest in keeping up the old dam that is the only barrier from an overflow that would rival the Johnstown disaster iu extent. In or der to show that the apprehensions of the citizens of Elkhart and South Bend are well grounded it may be stated that this same dam broke many years ago, and such was the flood that radical changes were made in the to pography of the country that are vis ible to this day. 'Every spring come reiMirts that tne tloous nave weakened this dam, and that tho great body of water is liable to break its barrier and come down upon the lower lands. These reports, like similar reports at Johnstown, have been unheeded, and although the dam "has not yet given away, n reeling or security takes the place of fear, and when" (ho break comes it will be found that of prepa rations tnero will tie none along the populous Elkhart valley. The-couutv commissioners of Noble county have oeeu petinoneu to nave a carenu ex amination made of the condition of the dam. and many citizens favor its demolition and the gradual letting out of tho great sheet of water which threaten life and property to such an alarming extent interesting: portund notes. Portland. June 2G. -This morning W. W.Parker, of Astoria applied to the county court for letters of adminis tration upon the estate of his late brother, G. W.
