"Without prejudice a few remarks on the railroad question are in order. Liess than a year ago Astoriaus raked enough money to start the con struction ol a road to the Seaside. "While still in its incipiency a Portland capitalist, a man experienced in rail road transactions, became connected with the matter. The original plan "was merged into a broader policy, the fruition ot the first plan being hast ened. Since then the history of Mr. Eeid's transactions is the history of the As toria & South Coast Railway Co. He is its president and controlling spirit This is by way of preface. With free use of names and discord ing ambiguity the following is of pres cat interest "When Ir. Reid was negotiating the sale of the Portland and Willamette Valley railroad to the Southern Pa cific Railroad company, he discovered that that company contemplated over tures to the Astoria and South Coast Railway company that would result in giving the Southern Pacific Railway company its much needed ocean port. That is, Mr. Reid then found out that the Southern Pacific's plan and policy embraced the building of its line of road by way of Hillsboro to Astoria. Mr. Reid made instant and saga cious use of his knowledge He im mediately ojened negotiations, himself, with the directors of the Astoria and South Coast Railway company, the details of which are familiar to Asto rians. In a short time Mr. Reid was able to go to C P. Huntington with the Astoria and South Coast Road in his pocket He had what the Southern Pacific Railroad company wanted, an d what they had intended to treat with the Astoria and Sonlh Coast directors for, themselves. Parenthetically it has been said that Mr. Reid is virtually the Pacific Construction company. "When Mr. Reid went to interview Mr. Huntington it was simply a ques tion of bargaiu and sale. Mr. Reid had the goods; what was Mr. Hnnt ington willing to give for them? De livery was absolute and certain. The terms of sale constituted and still constitute the question at issue. Just now Mr. Huntington says to Mr. Reid: -If I take half the bonds, T waat fifty-five per cent of the steck: if I take them all, I want GG23 per cent of the stock." The latter proposition is the one most seriously entertained. The other part of the proviso is the terms of the contract The Pacific Con struction company has a good contract with the Astoria & South Coast rail way company. That is, it is a good contract for the Pacific coustrcntion company, or Mr. Reid, if they are considered the same by some. Mr. Huntington thinks it is too good. He wants a bigger slice of the pie; to have the contract medified: he wants that famous eighth section re drawn, so that the Pacific Construc tion company will get $2,000 a mile less, and not get that $10,000 a mile in stock. Mr. Huntington and the Southern Pacific railroad company have built a good "many miles of railroad. They are economical railroad builders, and figure that they can or could build, that piece of road for less than the figures named in the contract between the Pacific Construction company and the Astoria and South Coast Railway Co. Perhaps they are right Mr. Huntington wauls a sis months' option on the whole business. This is to square existing railroad arrang Bents and at the same time see how the jetty work affects the entrance to the river. "When Mr. Reid was last hero and had a conference and agreement with the directors, he told The Astoiuan there was little to give out, put a pad lock on the tliectos, lips but imme diately upon his arrival at Portland published the whole thing; all he wanted to have known. The Astobiak takes pleasuro in adding to the stock of information and donates the above as an interest ing contribution to current railroad literature. Since his connection with the Asto ria and South Coast road, especially since his assumption of the presidency of that corporation, Mr. Reid and his Movements regarding the road, are of paramount importance to some of us who are interested in the growth and welfare of the city. Mr. Reid occupies the position of aa intermediary. He is able, truthful, scrupulous and exact: is straight for ward and open in all his dealings and has the confidence of all the directors of tho road. He also has the centract: that is, the Pacific Construction company has. Xr. Reid would not take tho slight est advantage of any opportunity. Tk directors of tho road are sagacious ad prudent men who need no advice ad who are not 'likely to make a mistake. It mvtai also be borne in mind that Xr. Reid has not tho slightest connec tm ldik the Pacific Construction mmpnnj; hr. himself, has said se: all ifck beiBg without prejudice. The is interesting and instructive. lk cm irwteni farm lands aMteXtMTtttipried: It is no doubt irw tirt'Mtentapital owns a raort- ih & large per cent of farms this rf be IGmHsppt. Oregon and "Washington, however, are better off than such states as the Dakotas, Ne abraska,'and Kansas. Let the north west keep this characteristic, and when the law that is now before con gress is put into effect our Javored sec tion will make a remarkably creditable showing. Chicago has taken a novel method to advertise herself for the "World's fair. It is a book entitled "Looking Forward," the name being a parody on Bellamy's "Looking Backward?" It contains a mixture of local puffs, humorous articles by Bill Nye, and clever illustrations by good artists. There is nothing slow about Chicago. Ml A Lokdok association has been formed which provides lady couriers .or maids to accompany well to do women who do not wish to travel alone. It has proved a success, and a like society is to be started in New York. Majob J. W. Powelii intimates that there are 120,000,000 acres of arid land that can be irrigated by available water. It will cost $10 per acre to re deem this land, while it will surely bo worth $39 an acre under irrigation. The most popular drama ever writtenby an American is "Shenan doah" by Bronson Howard. Its suc ess is unprecedented and is it described as a military comedy. The Boston public library contains over 400,000 volumes and is the finest all-round library in Amorica. That at Washington does not yet equal it in actual utility. The growth "of Melbourne, Aus tralia, has been almost phenomenal. In 1850 it was comparatively nothing; to-day it is larger than San Francisco. Thebe were nearly 5,000 bills in troduced in the senate and house pre vious to the holiday adjournment of which 2,500,000 copies were printed. Mr. Hei.ver of New York, is con vinced that he has an air ship that will defy wind, storm, sea, and will cross the Atlantic in two days. The tonnage of vessels constructed in Great Britain for 1889 amounts to 1,272,000 tons, or more than all the rest of the world put together. Calttokxia shipped during the last year, 820,020 boxes of oranges, which loaded about three thousand cars. The best estimates of the coming census place the population of the United States at Gl,761,500. Mrs. BuuLEr-MABTrx will try to capture New York society by spending $50,000 in a single balL Russia has recently bought 15,000, 090 new small caliber rifles from French manufacturers. It takes 15 minutes only, to send a short message from San Francisco, via New York, to Hong Kong. There are 17,107 periodical publi cations of all kinds in the United States and Canada. The amount of the embezzlements in the United States in 1889 is put at nearly $9,000,000. Four messages can be transmitted over a wire at one time by the qnad ruplex system. It is estimated that 30,000 elephants were killed in Africa in 188S, for their ivory tusks. The business of electricity employs 250,000 people throughout the United States. SakFbancisco saving banks have deposits to the amount of $79,083,012 SaiiMOX fishing is active at present near Martinez, California. ELECTRICITY IS THE LIFE When properly applied and thorough ly diffused in the human system; but this, when artificially applied, must be done under the direction and able guidance of those who are by practice experienced in its use and applicabuitj' to the various diseases incident to na ture and with a careful provision as to the constitutional condition of tho patient Heuce the wonderful success Dr. Darrin litis over disease -with tho use of electricity and medicine, as the following almost miraculous cures will show.

(Parties writing will please mention this paper.) They Carried Their rolat Two young and pretty women en tered a street car yesterday evening, each carrying in her arms a little par cel in the most tender and motherly fashion. So solicitous were they over their respective parcels that a lullaby seemed 'almost bursting from their lips. They were not nurse girts, so they must be mothers, although it was apparent they were joung moth ers, and very handsome ones withaL Half a dozen men jumped up to offer their seats. The girls giggled as they sat down and no wonder, for the bundles they earned in such a moth erly fashion had been deftly impro vised, under a sudden inspiration, to represent babies. There was lirtle oi them except a crook of the arm and a lace handkerchief to cover a supposi tious babe, but enough to deceive poor, trustful man. The -circle was general, for the -girls had obtained seats on a new.and-original plan. Chronic Fault Finder. Some men are never satisfied. If you give them an. open winter with little snow, they become alarmed at a possibility of drouth. If the snow comes down until" it goes over the tops of their seven-leagued boots, they kick about business stagnation. But they can not help their pessimis tic disposition.
