Cl & limit gtstovmn. ASTORIA. OREGON: SUNDAY NOVEMBER 2, 1S90 ASTORIA'S ASPIRATIONS. A sraxbooxtin-ektaii railway con nection is the nspiraiion and prime need of Astoria as the great seaport of the Columbia. "With that it would sit mistroes o the world's commerce, lo exchange European with Asiatic commodities. For when products reach Vancouver, 33. 0., by rail from the Est on route for Asia they must cme down the gulf of Georgia, pass out by the strait of Fuca and thence co-nc by cape Flattery and opposite to the mouth of the Columbia before lbc reach a point where they can cross over to Asia. So too with the commerce from Puset sound. Astoria has 500 miles start in the race for this world's com merce, mid therefore her aspiration is for n transcontinental connection. For llmt kind of a railroad she is will ing to put up liberally. For that rc.isou she would hail Mr. Hunting ton as a deliverer it he would build a railroad through the Nehalem to For est Grove or Hillsboro whereby to tap tho crest "Willamette valley, and at the y?np time directly tap all of the trans it ntijenUl systems at Portland. So, too, she would respond with k a alacrity to a road to Albany via tho Tillamook coast if it were there joined by the Great Northern system or that of the Chicago & Northwest ern through the Harney valley and loie valley. So, too, the response would be hearty and satisfactory for a road to Albany to connect there with the Southern Pacific system if that sys tem hnd a lino direct to Winnemucca fror.i Albany, or if Mr. Huntington would make that connection a con dition of the subsidy. But without such a transcontinental connection a proposition for a subsidy for a road via Tillamook to Albany would be very disappointing and would scarcely meet the response that would be wanted. It might as well be understood fully at once that, under the present condi tion of things, the hopes of Astoria for a railroad connection with the South ern are in tlie Nehalem route and any plan that leaves that line out of cal culation will be defective because the dominant sentiment of Astoria is for th:.t line and that sentiment would be left to the enterprise of some other railroad plan. Kailboad prospects are quite fa orablc at present and there is the bt of reasons for believing that not many days will elapse before a prop osition will be presented to our citi zens which will bo in accord with their desires, and open up a way for speedy commencement of work on the construction of a through railroad. Even now. there are capitalists in Portland who have never wanted lo sec a railroad to this city who have been, by the logic of events, forced lo change their views, and are now willing to invest their money in the building of a railroad lo Astoria, kuowing that after it was built nearly all the deep sea vessels which aro now taken to Portland to load and unload would slop at this port Time works wonders and it Portland cannot have all the ships come up there they would much rather have them come to Aslorin than go to tho Sound. Orsi: in Washington they are pro gressive in moro ways than one. Not ah nc in the matter of building cities ami railroads, but now they are trying to secure ouough lodges and members ! of the A. O. TJ. W. lo entitle them to u! nralo grand lodge of the order, in- stead of sharing with Oregon in a: grand lodge for both states. Hurrah; for the new stale of "Washington, and all honor to tho people for the wonder ful energy they manifest in their rapid march to success. Port Towxsexd people are happy over the prospect of tho location of a steel works plant at their city, as they Lave had an offer of the erection of works there which will cost S750,000, on condition that they raise a bonus , of S300,000. They have appointed aj committee to raiso the sum, and are already at work with good prospects of success. Up Willi the Times. Railroad is coming.

Dr. Prentice "Will Cure tho First Case Of Cross-Eyes and Epileptic Fits Free On the Day of His Arrival in Astoria. A man well known in this community writes tho following interesting letter: "1 was chopping a stnnip four weeks ago, when a flying chip struck me in the eye; for a short time 1 was entirely blind. Then partial sight returned flnnin. T T11TliroH hnno nnil nnf!.t..n.l to treat it at home, until ten days ago, when I began to abandon hope of ever seeing perfectly again, unless some thing more than ordinary was done. 1 then counciled two of the loading Oculists of Portland, who told me one eye would have to be cut out to save the other. It did not exactly suit me to have my eye cut out, and so I sought other council. I went to Dr. Prentice, tho Oculist, then at Portland, and he laughed at the idea of its being neces sary to cut my eye out; I joined in the laugh, for it was on my side. 1 have been free from pain since the first daj''s visit to Dr. Prentice, and im proved steadily, and am now entirelv well again. I feel safe in saying that ff Dr. Prentice cannot cure a case he will always say so. Tnos. II. Foss, Gray's River, Wash. A Touching Scene Witnessed By a Portland Gentleman. One week ago we received an invita tion to witness a delicate surgical oper ation on an eye. 'I he patient was the 17-year-old daughter of Harrison Hay. For three years she had been blind in both eyes with a cataract, and was obliged to grope her way about in total darkness. The patient, without taking chloroform, submitted to the following operation: fchewasnow ready for the surgical part of the work, and we stood in breathless anxiety as Dr. Prentice placed the point of his knife at the side of the eyeball, carefully touched the point of the cornea, then the blade entered the eye; we saw it pass through the eye in front of the pupil and then come out at the opposite side. It was then drawn upward, and a cut made of about one-third of the circumference of the ball. Another instrument was then passed in back of the pupil, and almost on the instant the girl said: "Oh, Dr. Prentice 1 can see you." This was spoken in tones well calculated to bring tears to one's eyes. From the time the knife touched the eye until the patient could see, it was just one min ute. She was allowed to see those about her for a moment, then thocj'e was closed and bandaged. In just one week after the operation she came into our office and was able to read our paper. She also wrote a letter home, saying; "Dear parents, I can see and am happy." Mr. Jerome W. Campbell. General Superintendent of the Willamette Bridge Railway Co., saw this operation. ALETTEK. rrom a Tatlent TTbo TTas Cured Br Dr Trenllce. Portland, Or., Oct. 7, 1890. To Uie Suffering: For five years 1 have suffered with sleeplessness, ner vous debility, irritation at the base of the brain, and a terrible kidney disease. 1 had tried so many remedies that did me no c;ood that at last 1 gave up all hope of ever being a well man again. I tried many prescriptions that were said to be sure cures, and all failed. There were many times during tho past few years that I was obliged to lay off from work from two weeks to three months at a time. Lately 1 was run ning down in health very rapidly, and was alarmed. I contemplated leaving thispaitof the country and trying to see it I could not get relief elsewhere. I must say that my faith in doctors was about gone; but something lead me to visit Dr. Prentice at the Esmond hotel. I crowded in with the others and waited my turn. He examined me, told Mnc where my trouble was, and said he could cure it without nipdicine. I can't say that I really believed him, but something in his manner led me to trust him. He gave me no medicine at all, yet from the day of my first visit I began to improve r.ipidly. I now sleep as sound as a child. My memory is greatly improved. My kidney disease and brain irritation are entirely well, my appetite spienmu. xindlnowenjov life and perfect health. Any afflicted person wishing to learn about my cae will find me at address below.
