She Needs Other Enterprises Besides Transcontinental Railroad Connec tions. Yesterday an Astorlan reporter met Mr. A, B. HammonJ, of Missoula, Mon tana, and had an Interesting talk with him regarding his impressions of As toria and vicinity, as formed during the torlef time he had been In the city. He said: "1 have Just returned from a trip down over the Seashore road to See side, and must confess that what I saw gave me a great surprise. The day was all that the most particular could ask for, and while there was a slight rain during the early morning hours, It seemed only to make the air more balmy and Invigorating. We vlBitcd Seaside, the Holllday place, and Gear hart, and never before, from the coast of Washington to San Diego, have I witnessed more Inviting resorts on a finer beach. My greatest (astonish ment, however, lies in the fact that your people do not seem to realize what a grand opportunity nature has given them to make this particular place one of the most noted watering places on the coast." "What do you think of Astoria's fu ture prospects as a railroad terminus?1 asked the reporter. I think Astoria will get the road she has long sought. But do you know," said Mr. Hammond, leaning forward, and speaking with great ear nestness, "there are many things that Astoria needs before she gets a rail road. "In the first place you want the peo ple down East to know more about you, and when they hear a thing to got it correctly. You certainly cannot hope for the papers of Seattle, Tacoma, Portland and San Francisco, to take up your cause and say anything especially encouraging, for they would then be talking against their own Interests. No, the only way, It seems to me, is for the peopla of your city to aid the local press, giving them a support that will enable them to turn out a first-class paper, that can te sent broad-cast from your city and will be a criterion of not only your city, but your people, for both, as a rule, are judged by their home papers. "The subsidy committee, I wpuld say, Tho Important wedding events nre have not half finished their work when announced to take place at Salem to-ia railroad contract Is secured. They day. . The first Is the marriage this, fchould go further and hold out lnduce- mornlng of Mr. fludolph F. Prael, oflments for various enterprises that are Portland, and Miss Anna Breyton, absolutely essential before you can daughter of Mr. Werner Breyton, ajhope to make a great city of Astoria, well known local capitalist. Mr. Prael ior before a railroad will receive the mouth of the river that- has changed the once dangerous bar to one of the safest harbor entrances In the world. I say again that it is a matter of vital Importance to the future of your city that these impressions be speedily cor rected, and the actual resources and new condition of things be made known." Mr. Hammond Is well Informed on the situation here regarding the effort to secure railroad connection with the outside world, and manifests an un usual degree of Interest in Astoria's future. At home in Missoula, he Is In terested in the lumber business, their mills having a capacity of 40,000,000 feet ner annum. He has figured In two or three railroad enterprises in that state, all of which have been highly succi f.3ful. See R. S. Norrls' show window for the newest designs in novelties and clocks.

Fel lows to show cause why he should not be removed from the office of district attorney for New York county, for neglect of duty. THE CASE DISMISSED. Choi Fing Evidently the Victim of Persecution. 'Choi Fing, the Chinese woman whom Chief Loughery arrested in Portland Monday on a charge of larceny of a valuable bracelet, was in the police court yesterday, and drew about the largest audience tho Judge has had this season. Outside the railing the space was packed with Chinamen, most of them having dropped around Just to get a glance at the really pretty countenance of Choi' Fing, who at the opening of court sat in the prisoner's dock, her back half turned to the cur ious spectators, and never once gave them the slightest glance. When Mrs. Hong Chong, the prosecuting witness, went upon the stand, a look of hatred and defiance stole Into the dark eyes of the Oriental woman, but aside from that she expressed no Interest In what was going on around her. An Interpre ter was sworn in and the trial com menced. To make a long story short, It was claimed by the prosecution that the prisoner, during a certain period In September had Worked for Mrs. Hong Chongv and that when Bhe left, a valuable bracelet had disappeared with her. Subsequently, as testified by Wing Lee, the missing article had fal len Into his hands through a China man who offered it for sale. Choi Fing was suspeoted, and her arrest as al ready chronicled, followed. H. F. Gulllxon, a member of the legislature from Multnomah county. was present as a witness for the de fense. He testified that the defendant was a married woman, her husband being a partner of Sid Back, in Port land, and that she was now seeking a divorce through the courts of that citv. Some time ago, at the very time the prosecution claims Bhe was worklnz for Mrs. Hortg Chong In this city, the defendant was in the basement of his house, having been placed there with Awarded Highest Honors-World'a Fair.

After summlne up the evidence in the case. Judge Osburn discharged the de fendant, stating that everything point ed to the defendant being the wrong woman, and assessing the costs to the prosecuting witness. LAURA. When the purple hills He sleeping. Beneath the autumn shade, And the trees are sadly weeping Their tribute o'er the glade; There I laid my lovely Laura In days so long ago, When my heart was full of sorrow As the mountains full of snow. I've tried oft to forget her In the whirl of busy life. But the more do I regret her In my round of daily strife; And when evening shadows lower O'er the purple hills afar, I recall the lonely hour When I lost my polar star. Yet the day Is surely coming When we'll clasp with magic might. Where the angel choirs are humming In the bright celestial light- Where the waters ever sparkle On that bright eternal shore, And our hearts will never darkle, But shall love forever more. John A.

Your people, If you hope . for a city of any Importance at the mouth of the Columbia, must take off their coats, so to speak, anl work harmoniously, shoulder to shoulder, until the end is accomplished. Nature has done her share even more than most places are favored with, and now, I cannot quite comprehend why the advantages show ered upon this section of tha country so lavishly, have not. been long ago! developed." Speaking of the choice of routes for a railroad, the Gobel or the 'Nehalem, Mr, Hammond said: ine uooei route is by all means the one to follow. It is the only nat ural water level route to the coast, and that Is an advantage that ran hardly be overestimated. It Is the line over which all the products for foreign shipment from the fertile valleys of the Columbia basin, must come. The fact of It being on the water level makes It a route that will defy com petition for that very reason. Of the Nehalem route, so far as I can under stand It, it could never possess the ad vantages tn respect to grades that the Gobel route Is blessed with. But 1 1 have not the slightest doubt that the road will eventually be constructed, and it will be of untold value to Asto ria, opening up, as It will, a remark ably rich country In coal, iron and timber. It will be a most valuable feeder for your city, but the Gobel road will always be the most desirable foi transcontinental connection.',' uo you ininK mat Astoria Is very- near either one of these propositions?"! interrupted the reporter. "Will, I can answer that, perhaps, In this way. The man who has money to put Into a railroad out of Astoria to Gobel, will naturally hesitate about In vesting unless he can be made to un derstand that the people fully concelvj tnat their co-operation Is necessary. I mean by their co-operation, that lands must be developed, country roads con structed, and as I said before, your city advertised and new enterprises es tablished that will make your city solid and substantial.

This "Largest civilized city In tho world without a railroad," Is to exper ience the impetus of a connection In different directions with two of the greatest continental railway systems. Astoria's harbor advantages (the best on the whole Pacific Coast) are now understood and appreciated; Its fishing Interests (already paying to the hands employed In the salmon canneries alone over $250,000 of wages each month) are to be augmented by the Investment of outside capital and the erection of large and latest improved plants. The immense forests of Ore gon pine surrounding the city are to be converted Into lumber for the Aus tralian, Chinese, Japuncse, and South American markets.
