Pitcher Casterla. Is AssuredChairman Wingate Returns from 'the Line. NOBLE EXAMPLES SHOWN. People Say "We Ave With You Boys" -Chairman Kinney Heart ' ' From Parsons. Of all the hard working committees on the railroad, the out of town right of way committee, Messrs. .Wlngate, Fergu son and Stuart are deserving of spejlal mention, as theirs has been a particular ly hard duty to perform. Chairman Wln gate, of this committee,' has dropped, for the time being, all of his private business and has devoted all of bis time and ener gies to forwarding the Interests of the community in securing, tht railroad. To his sound Judgment . and open and straightforward methods of business Is largely due the success .of this part of the work. . ; . . They returned Sunday from the district near Ranler, and Mr. Wlngate reports that while they met with some opposi tion at first, because1 of false reparts cir culated, yet as soon as the people un derstood that the cltiens of Astoria would have to pay out of their own pockets for the right of way, if it was not donated, and that they had already done so, much for the enterprise, and this the peo ple's railroad, built by the people, for the benefit of the people, and that a big railroad company, which could give its check for thousands, was not buying the right of way, the people said, "boys, we are with you." ' , While at the present time it is a hard ship upon all, and a very hard matter with some, yet it is thoroughly realized that the future prosperity, . enhancement of ' values and creation of markets for' all produce and natural resources, now dormant, will repay rich, arid ; poor ten fold, and la ra fact the. only salvation for .Astoria, and the Columbia Valley people. Among the noteworthy- incidents during the work of the committee Is the filing of the deed of J. L. Morgan. The Morgan family are hard working, hohest peoplle, who can 111 afford any expanse or loss at the present time, yet In a noble man ner of self-sacrifice for the 'good of all, out of their comparatively little, they freely gave their deed to the right of way across their ranch. They have done what a number of their richer neighbors have not yet done, and their good ex ample might well be followed by others. Dr. Kinney, ..the mind-reading Judge of human nature, chairman of the the gen. eral committee, Is surely the right man in the right place. In the face of almost. Insurmountable difficulties he fcaa held the committee together tor two years, and wUl surely bring the matters to a successful Issue, backed as he Is by the undivided support and enthusiastic work of the other mem bers of the "twenty-one." The doctor also reports further good work in the subsidy, and the city right of way mat ters under Chairman Welch, and a bright prospect that all difficulties will soon be overcome. A prominent citizen, In an In terview last night, said that "there must be no failure now, and that there could be no doubt but that all who have not already done so, would soon respond to the call and prove themselves loyal to their city and state. Only a little more Is necessary to Insure the making of a large and prosperous city out of Astoria1. Shall It not be said that her citizens wer equal to the occasion? "The eyes of the United States 'are upon us, and they will see an era of un precedented prosperity Inaugurated in Or egon." The following are the names of the stal warts who have sent in their right of way deeds since the last list was pub lished, outBlde of the city limits, and who have been added to the rapluTy growing Roll of Honor: Jas. Qulnn and wife. J. F. Tlmmony. Northwest Timber Company. Jos. Smith. Dean Blsnchard. City of Ranler. O. 7. Moek. J no. Stockingberg. 1 Mrs. E. R. Crelgh. Chas. Mayger. F. Turnahan. A, Madden. Jas. Flsk. W. W. Elliott. Jas. Dixon. W. B. Colvln. W. J. Ross. J. L. Morgan. West Estate. Nicolas Stanovltcb. L. Falangus. ' Twenty-two deeds added to the list and Chairman Wlngate says not more than IS per cent remain outstanding, and he anticipates that they will come in at once, and that the committee will wind up Its work In about ten days, he hopes, without a law suit Everywhere the committee was well re ceived and royally entertained, which not a little mitigated the hardships ot the trip. They still return tomorrow to flnljh. the work o well friismuUil. Ward has M revived that ths Corbett and Kamm deeds will be fur nished In a few days. At the meeting of the general commute yesterday Dr. Kinney was appointed a committee of one to investigate the pur ported difficulty with the O. R and N. Co. Late yesterday afternoon Chairman Kinney sent the following letter to the Astorlan; ' . . -"To the Editor: I have Just received a letter, under date of April 29th, from my friend Wm. C. Parsons, of Big Bug, Arizona. VHe expresses his desire to not stand In the way of the railroad project, which he Is anxious to see pushed to a success ful termination, and says that he Is per fectly willing to grant a free right of way across" his' property provided it can be arranged to protect, his Interests at Busby's Hole. ' "I. nave1 known" Mr. Parsons all of a lifetime, and 'have felt It In my bones' that whenever he knew that we had a man Interested with money enough to build the road, he' would be one of us. I know that he has had a long acquaint ance with Mr. Hammond, and will not only not throw a stone In his way, but will contribute his mite to the success, of the enterprise'. "With Mr. Parsons on our side we have but a single owner of right of way In Clatsop county to sue for condemnation, and with that person I am correspond ing and hope within the next week the last shadow of obstruction VIII have dis appeared. YourB Truly, , . - ' ' ALFRED KINNEY, . Chairman." The foregoing, shows wtat energy and hard work, combined with tact and good Judgment, can accomplish In the" handling of large enterprises in the face of diverse interests and misapprehensions. Victory seems Imminent and let all honor rest where honor Is due. LOOKED INTO A GUN. Charles Bain Encounters a Couple ot Highwaymen Early Sunday Morning. About 2 o'clock Sunday morning Charles Bain entered his room in the old Case residence and walking .directly to the stand on which stood the lamp, pro ceeded to light it. He had scarcely done this when his attention was attracted by a slight noise at his back, and turn ing around reached out and grasped the handle to a closet door and pulled It open. He was hardly, prepared for the surprise that followed, for Instead of seeing an Innocent, rat scampsr away Into the darkness, he looked straight Into the glittering barrel of a revolver, held In the hand of a man who wore a mask- over his face. Another man, also masked, stood beside the first mentioned, and In his hand was a murderous looking gun, that, looked equally as ugly as the one nearest his head. The usual "throw up your hands" came from the robbers, and Mr. Bain did not hesitate to comply with their command. While one went through Mr. Balne's pockets the other kept a gun on him. When they came to the watch at the special request of the owner, it was not molested. They secur ed $32 In cash and after advising Mr. Balne to keep quiot for a few hours, they took their departure down the back stairs and out of the kitchen window, the way In which they gained entrance. After the two . hold-ups had gone Mr. Balne searched the bureau drawer for his revolver, and found that It hd been stolen, A shot gun in the closet had been rendered useless by the remoVo! of the cartridges. He did not arouse the house hold, but tried to make the best of It by going- to bed and trying to forget; all about It. The thieves gained an entrance by going through' the kitchen window, and thence into the dining room, where they Ignored a lot of silver ware that was In plain view. They passed into the sitting room and up stairs. Anally bring ing up In Mr. Balne's room. In the next room to Mr. Balne's, the door of which was unlocked, Charles McDonald lay snoring as if nothing unusual was taking place, but they did not molest him. The only description Mr. Balne could give of the robbers was that one was long and the other shnrt, and that both wore, engineer's overalls, masks' hiding their faces from view, flhortly after4 the hour of this robbery, someone tried to gain an entrance to the residence of Mr. Fred Newell. He heard the noise and frightened them away, and by the glare of a neighboring electric light saw that they were dreseed as described by Mr,' Balne, and wore masks, The police have been unable t-fThd any trace of the bur. glars, though a Careful search has been made.

Her Demurer States that the Gov ernment Has no Valid Claim Fair Wills Ruling-. Associated Press. New York, May 6. A special cablegram to the World from Reguclgalpa, Hondu ras, today says: Fighting has begun in Grenada, Nicaragua. Disorder is re ported from Leon also.' Word comes from there that the followers of Ortes, Zerula and Macherro have united to make war on Zelaya. Honduras troops concentrated at Cape Qracias will re main there as Its is feared the threat ened outbreak on the Mosquito reserva tion, may extencrhere.

Is Held to Reconsider the Income Tax Decision. Washington, May 6. There was a full bench In the supreme court today the first time since Justice Jackson left for the South last fall. W. J. Guthrie, one of the attorneys for Appellants Hyde and Pollock in the income tax, was recognis ed by the court to begin the argument for reconsideration of these cases. Before Guthrie began the chief Justice stated that the court had decided to per mit the counsel to go into all the ques tions involved. ' Mr. Choate and Attorney General Olney, after consultation, an nounced that five hours each side would be sufficient, and this time was granted. , :. " -,. - MR3. STANFORD REPLIES; San .FranclscoT May 6. Mrs. Jane L. Stanford has 'filed In the United States circuit court a demurrer to the suit "brought by the government against ths Stanford estate to recover $15,000,000 ad vanced by the United States for the con- dtniPtlf"! Of the Central Pacific railroad. l"fHe3eimrrer setl forth that the only obligation or liability ever created by the government In favor of the United States against the Central Pacific and Western Paclflo railroads was on bonds guaran teed ,' by the government which It is claimed do not constitute a debt against either of the companies or a right to demand payment from them, because ot the bonds falling of redemption. The de murrer continues that the only relief open to the government lh the confisca tion of the corporations. It is further conceded that no valid claim was ever presented to Leland Stanford during his life, or to his widow since his death. This, It Is claimed, vltltlates any claim the United States might have had. THE FAIR WILLS. San Francisco, May 0. In the fight for the fair millions the "big four" executors of the first will, which so mysteriously disappeared from the county clerk's office will have a decided advantage. Judge Slack today ruled that the stolen wfil must be disposed of before the later will, produced by Mrs.' Nettle Craven, can be considered. The first will filed, therefore, will be the first contested. This Is con sidered a matter of great Importanc to the proponents as the tactics of the Fair children will be . to evade the for feiture clause under the first will by supporting the second, the provisions of which are more to their liking. The de clslon giving priority to the proving ot the first will filed will be an unexpected blow to the children who expected that the Craven will would take precedence because of Its later date. The petition for probate of the first will he beard on Wednesday. " HAWAIIAN MATTERS. , San Francisco, May t, advices per steamer Gaelic, Honolulu, April 29.
