To the genial Captain Scott and the
Seeley Bros, of Ithe Talephone-Gaitzetrt line
Is due the honor of (having flnst brought
Mr. Hammond to Astoria, and also of
bringing him here every time since. They
have been loyal to 'Uhe cause from the
Btart itx the flrtlsh and have furnished
their boaits free of charge to numberless
p-ii'es in the lnitereat of the railroad, and
the ctty. Today tihey may 'feel proud of
cot only bringing the railroad to Astoria,
b'jit also of furnishing the proper means
of celebrating Ithe event,
Alf ter the laming of the boat the party
caime ashore, rwhere almost the entire
town was waiting to glva Mr. Hammond
a welcome. A general lhand shaking was
Indulged In and all felt that through the
faithful work and business energy and
pluck of her citizens Aatorla was nter
iog upon a neW era of existence that
was to be one of unparalleled prosperity
and of graat Importance 'in the commer
cial world. Mr, Hammond' seemed glad
to meat his frlenda here, amid after chat
ting with theim a ftw minutes made hto
way to the 'hotel wlun. his party, where
they were Boon domiciled. The rest of
of ie afternoon foe spent with his offi
cers blocking out work and giving In
t'trucUons. 'Mr. Hammond la not a mvin who Jumps
at things in a minute. His (plan's have
been carefully imaitured and every detail
arranged In advance. No confusion, no
lota of time, no mistakes iwlll mark the
prosecution of Uhe work of construction.
HU engineers are already on the ground
and the work will go steadily forward
to completion. ,
The cttlrena one and all were t Joyful
lot of people, becauas they reallz.d that
u last their city war to be connected
with the rest of the world and that the
opportunity would be given for the de
valjpment of her natural resources to the
weilth and prosperity of all wkhln her
borders.
IN THE EVENING.
Fig Preesslon, Fir Works, and Numer
ous Speeches.
Yesterday afternoon at about t o'clock
Judge J, H. D. Gray, on th spur of the
moment, arranged for un evening cele
bration of the one grat event In As
toria s history, tflie cxnmencement of
work on the Gobi raBoad. In less than
threat hours R details were completed,
and 7 o'clock the procession, headed
br Marohal Cray, -th bartd and police
force, marched through the treeta. W.
B. Adair and V. W. Weeks acted as olden, I
while John Cebm headed the water works
teems and D. McTavtah the city teams.
The turn-ut was tuost creditable one
considering the short notice upon which'
It was gotten up, and It was a matter
of astonishment to all who witnessed
It to see the large number of Siorses In
line. There was a second band la the
mlddQa of the procession end the fire
department brought up the rear under the
leadership of C. H. Stockton. At inter
vals in Uhe line were iwugona carrying
Chinese bombs and Are crackers, which
the boya exploded along th route. The
procession was fully a mile long, and took
twenty minutes to pass sv given point.
Tlhs was truly Astoria's Fourth of July
carnival, and a fitting demonstration of
the feelings of Uhe people.
After the disbanding of the procession
the citizens gathered In front of the .Occi
dent Hotel, while from oft the hlils rock
ets and fire works were discharged. The
band rendered a number of lively .airs I
and every moment the crowd increased
completely 'blocking the street. Upon the
balcony of the hotel were the mayor, Mr.
Hammond and party and their ladles,
and 'many prominent citizens, (Mayor
Alfred Kinney, chairman of the commit
tee of twenty-one, the lndafatlgable lead
er of the working corps of the citizens
in pushing the work of securing the rail
road, stepped to the front of the balcony.
and addressed the people. He said;
"Fellow citizens: I feel tonight much
like I did last Tuesday night when the
news was flashed over the wire that Mr.
Hammond would be here today to com
mence work on our long-cherished rail
road. I threw up my hat then and hur
rahed and I do It again tonight. (Ap
plause).
"The citizens of Astoria have done their
duty-they have done all they could do,
They have given lota, lands, energy and
money, all 'that was expected. If any
one individual has not done what he ought
to have done we will forgive him. We
have with us here one who will heal all
breaclies-who will build the railroad and
who Is 'heeled' so that he can do it."
The mayor-tihen Introduced Mr. Ham
mond, who spoke as follows 1
"Ladles and gentlemen: Brother Kin
ney says I will have to make a speech.
I told him I could not do it, but ha say
I must make a talk any way.
" did not come here to talk, but to
build the railroad (applause), besides, for
some time past I have been doing the
talking and the committee have been io-
lug the work. Now I want to do the
work, and will let them do the talking.
(Party in the crowd "There will be plen
ty of It.")
"I wish to thank you, kind citizens,
for the hearty reception here today, also
for the confidence placed In me since my
connection with the enterprise. It Is not
easy for a committee, such as yours, to
raise the amount of property It has done
on the promise of one man to do some
thing. I am here today to carry out
that promise. There' perhaps have been
times during the receiving of this sub
sidy that you thought that I was too ex.
acting, or wanted too much. I can as
sura you, however, that In financiering
this enterprise t haive had to give away
most all that I received. Besides this,
I thought that every man in this comma
nlty, whose duty or interest It was to
assist In this enterprise, should fall into
line, stand up, and contribute bis share.
You have all done your duty in this ret
spect, and I think that the good will and
harmony that Incites you all today 1
largely due to the fact that you havt
done your duty. 1 think, my friends,
that in the long run this will - do you
as much good as the building of the rail,
road. (Applause.)! 1
"We propose to give you value recelveii
when this railroad is built. It will bt
second to none on the coast. We prot
poso to put the money Into the road
and net Into our pockets (applause.) Whet
the railroad la operated 1 will be oper
ated for the Interest of the people." (Ap
piause.; t
"1 cannot take all of the credit for se)
evrtor tttt building of this road. Y01
owe much to L. B. Se?ley, of the Tele,
phone, and the company he represents.
Th Tolton ItsHf couM not carry tba
records of his work (applause.) You owtl
nwh 40 ear friend (Dicklnsotr, Sere, on
the Northern Pacific, who haa never
ceased to advocate It from a railroad
standpoint. You also owe much to Mr.
J. C. Stanton, who has given three years
of life to the road and is still In U (ap
plause). You also owe a great deal ,to
Dr. Kinney, and his committee. None
know better 'than I do of their untiring
energy and many disappointments, but
they persevered through the darkest hours
until final success lay with them. But
more than all you owe a great deal to
yourselves for the manner in which you
have put asiUe all. personal grievances,
petty Jealousies and factional differences
and. have stood solid for the one. great
end. It Is the long pull, the strong pull,
and the pull all together that wins the
battle." (Prolonged applause.)
The 'next spetker introduced was Dr.
G. H. Chance, of Portland, whO' said, In
brief: "The work of the people of As
torlaj would accomplish, much for the
etate of Oregon, the Pacific elope, end
the Northwest." 'He recited the poem
about pulling and working together which
was received with great applause.
The Hon. C. W, Fulton was then called
for amid responded in his usual impressive
manner. He reviewed the situation, told
of the advantages to be expected' from
the railroad, but urged the people to not
cease In t'h good work, as the comple
tion of the railroad would onOy be the
beginning of the work necessary for the
prosperity and future greatness of our
city.
Mr. J. C, Stanton was then Introduced
by the mayor and said that it gave him
much pleasure to witness the assurance
of Astoria's railroad; that he had given
three yeto-s of his lite to the work of
getting ft started and that a man was
r.ow at the helm not only able to build
the railroad, but to build up this satire
part of th county. (Applause.)
Mr. L. B. eeeley, of the Telephone Com
pany, was then calletl upon by the crowd
and responded In his usual graceful man
ner. He said:
"I am glad to congratulate you upon
the opening of 'the new railroad and the
union of Astoria with the rest of the
world. Mr. Hammond and his backers
are the men who can put your road In
running order and who will do It." (Ap
plause.)
Mr. Geo. W. Dickinson, the assistant
general superintendent) of the Northern
Pacific railroad, then spoke as follows
"X.&m not rrera'tonbrht as an Aa tor lan,
but speaW from a railroad atandpoln'
purely. Some years ego the company of
which I am a representative, investigated
this seaport and line of railroad and
woudd have built the road but that the
receiver came in too fast, You have
harbor here which It has cost Tacoma
17,000,000 to build. By accident I learned
of Mr. Hammond and went to Montana to
see him and get him Interested in the pro
posed road, and take some of the credit
myself. I consider that you have the
best possible man now for the work, and
one wCio will not disappoint you. The in
vestment from a railroad point of view
Is a good one In every- sense.". (Great
applausv.)
W. G. Qosslln, Mr. Hammond's right
bower, surprised everybody by a flight of
oratory In which he took occasion to
praise the various committees and the
people of Astoria generally In their con
duct of all matters pertaining to the ti
tles of lands in the subsidy and right of
way. His remarks were cheered to the
echo. '
Judge Cherrlngton, of Ohio, and sever
at others made short addresses, while the
band rendered several pieces of music
In the Intervals.
Thei ended the great red letter day of
Astoria.
YAQTJINA CLAM BAKE.
How the People Enjoyed Themselves and
Celebrated.
Mr. R. A. Eddy, of Missoula, the broth
er-in-law of 'Mr. Hammond, when asked
about their trip to Yaqulna Bay, said: ;
"We had a mot delightful visit In every
sense. The trip was made In the private
car of Mr. G. W. Dickinson, assistant
general superintendent of the Northern
Pacific, who with his wife and family,
accompanied us. Mr. Haimmond'a boys
and Mr.D tcklnoon'a have been playmates
and companions for several years and
have hunted anki tisihed togciiher in Mon
tana, so that wherever together they have
a good time.
"The gathering at Yaqulna was occa
sioned by the excursion of representa
tive of the press, and as It was the Ta-
dles' Are experience at a dam bake,
they enjoyed it Immensely, The clams
and chicken, sweet corn and potatoes
were simply dellcloui. '
"When the new came of the confirma
tion of the ail of the Oregon Pacific the
people were greatly rejoiced and are as
happy as can b9 over the prospect of
relief from the crumptd condition they
have been in heretofore, caused by the
poor physical condition and poorjr
aervlce of the railroad. Mr. Hammond
has taken hold of that line and will put
It in thorough repair as wen as extend
It In such shape a will be at great bene-
fit co the people of the WrUaimet'.e Valley.
"Mr. DlcMnaon, of the Northern "Pacific,
- flighest of all in Leavening Powers
and bis family, are here with, us today,
and he will leuje his fairrrlly with Mr.
Hammond's at Gear hart 'Park for a Visit.
A PROtMiLNUSNT VISITOR.
Mr. Geo. W. Dickinson, of the Northern
Pacific, Visits Astoria.
Mr, George W. Dickinson, the genial
assistant general superintendent of the
Northen Pacific Railroad, iwaa in the city
yesterday with tihe (Haurtmond party.
When seen by am Astorlan representa
tive Mr. Dickinson had the air of one
well pleaeeU with the world and his sur
roundings. He possesses that rare qual
ity of even temperament which enables
its owner to always maintain a pleasant
front. Whin asked: about the general
rttlroad situation, Mr. Dickinson said:
"Matters are greatly Improved and rail,
road earnings are vastly better than for
a number of years, but we are not out
of the woods yet. - It will be at least
another year before tho Northern Pa
cific can hope to get OJt of the hands of
receivers. The revival of business is In
ithe local fleCJ None of the railroads
are making any profits on transcontin
ental traffic, but crops are. good, the
prices on wheat, wool and hops are bet
ter, as alto on lumber and Shingles.
Above all this the people are going to
work and are again earning good
wages." "
"What do you think of Astoria's new
tallroad?" '
"I have always believed; la the road,
from a railroad standpoint I think It is
a good Investment, and it Is certainly;
all that la needed to make this a pros
perous port and a, large city.".
"Will the Northern Pacific do business
with the new line?'
"The Northern Pacific at one time had
a contract to do bualnasa with, such
a road to be built to Astoria and have
alwayis been (friendly to th enterprise.
No doubt when the time comes we will
have trad! 0 arrangements of mutual ben'
eflt with the new line."
THE SALUTE.
Fire Bells, Cannon and Shouts of Wei'
come.
As the steamer Telephone came down
the bay yesterday Chief Foster started
the lire bell to ringing and the committee
had a corps of . assistants firing salutes,
while . the people fired bombs, and nre
crackersWhen the steamer landed
shouts of greeting were exchanged.
Captain 01.-8. Greenleaf, of Battery
A., Portland, with a detachment of men,
soon disembarked two brass cannon
which were 'unllmlbered and prepared t0
do their part In the general hurrah. In a
few moments they were awaking the
echoes across the bay with thlr heavy
reports. It was Astoria's Fourth of July
celebration and a royal one at that. To
the forethought of the Telephone peo
ple and the kindness of Captain Green
leaf Is due much of the success of the
day. The captain will leave his pets here
until next week, when his entire com
mand will Join Company A., at Camp
Gearhart, taking tihe big guns with them.
A stranger .who might have dropped Into
the city yesterday could wall have im
agined that, they wera In the midst of a
bombardment. .. But when people give way
to long-pent-up feelings of Joy nothing
but noise, and plenty of It, seems to
satisfy them.
A VALUABLE OPINION.
Detroit Free Press.
The two girls were talking.
Aa glria talk.
One was of the lmrebuous, Impulsive
type, whose blood files o tihe cheek, -
whose eyes snap and whose tongue is as
harp as ai razor.
The other was aa the (placid ocean pro
found, solemn, silent, billowing deep for
out from shore and coming upon the sil
ver sands aa noiseless as the dew falls
upon the flowers at night.
They ara talking about men and their
ways, a subject of unceasing Interest to
women In their teens or beyond.
The face of the lmtetuoja one was
fleshed and there was the unmistakable .
evidence of Indignation In ber manner.
"Well," she exclaimed, with a warning
nd a threw In her tone, "I'd Ilk to eeo
a man kta) me."
The eye of the other one dosed softly
against the dazzling flash of those of her
companion and a gentle glow came to her
face.
Yes?" she answered, dreamily. "Well,
don't care whether I see the man or
not. It is so perfectly lovely, anyway,
that I never think about the conditions."
