RAILROAD DOINGS.
Work on
Flavel Line-Built
, Bonds.
Without
Engineer Jamleson with a force, of
men, yesterday went to Warrenton to lo
cate the permanent line of road to Fki
vet, where work will soon commence.
It is a fact well worth remembering,
that the former attempts to build the
GobCe railroad by the Union Pacific ajid
others, fell through because of their in
ability to sell the bonds of the proposed
road. Times were hard and the Eastern
and European financial markets were
closed to Western railroad schemes, and
the financiering of even a small railroad
was almost Impossible. The present road
will be buWt by Mr. Hammond without
the sale of a dollar's worth of bonds.
The financial markets on railroad securi
ties both at home and abroad lare little
improved and it Is a difficult matter to
Interest capital In any such enterprises as
the Astoria railroad. The feat has been
accomplished and Astoria will get her
road.
Much talk and a great deal of surmis
ing has been Indulged In as to the out
come of the Gable and Oregon Pacific
railroads and as to Mr Hammonds plans
In retution thereto. That gentleman says
that he Is going to build the Goble roau.
If proper connection cannot be made at
that point with a transcontinental rail
road he (Will tfulld the line dnto Portland
where connection can be made. As to the
Oregon Pacific, that line will be put In
first class condition, necessary better
ments to roadway, additions to rolling
stock, and Improvements In terminal fa
cllltles will be made It Is quite likely
that extensions of this line In Oregon will
be built, but Mr. Hammond Is not con.
Btructrng transcontinental systems nor
any great systems of railroad In Oregon.
The construction iwork, improvement, and
extensions contemplated will be of the
tmost benefit and Importance to the
state of Oregon tit large, and the Colum
bla vailey and Astoria particularly, and
will be of greater financial benefit than
would be the building of another trans
continental line.
One matter of great Immediate Import
ance to Astoria Is the location of the
depot and switching yards for the con
duct of business of the road In this city.
The committee having this matter 1:1
charge should see to It that alt differences
personal feeling and petty wrangles are
burled out of sight and a decision reached
t once. This is one of the most im
portant features now to be dealt with
and cannot be settled too soon. Seattle
in her usual energetic and business like
manner donated and arranged In a few
days' time, the most ample and complete
railroad terminal facilities in the north
west coast, and surely Astoria cannot af
ford to ibe behind Seattle In these matters
at the present Juncture,
TILLAMOOK CABLE.
It comes from good authority that at
lust Tillamook Rock Is to be connected
by caWe with the rest of the world, and
hat, at a very early date. Next Tues
day, so It Is said, one of the lighthouse
tenders will commence and lay the cable
from the rock to Indian town, directly In
shore from the rock. From the beach
the line iwlll run to Elk Creek, thence
over the toll roads to a connection with"
the government line, already built from
Seaside to Fort Stevens. The line from
Siuslde to Bald Hid will be abandoned
It Is thought that by building a new line
via Elk Creek It will be mtfre easily kept
in repair during the winter time, as the
maiicarrler goes over the road twice
each day. Stations will probably be
put In at Elk Creek and Seaslee, both for
the convenience of the public und for
the purpose of testing the line. Hereto
fore a difficult problem for the engineers
to solve, 'has been the manner In which
to connect the cab'.e with the rock so
that It would withstand the violence of
the heavy seas during the winter months.
It has at Inst beero decided to extend an
arm from the rock a sufficient distance
so that the cable wlM be free from Its
rough and ragged edge, and to hold It In
Its proper place It will be secured at a dis
tance from the rock by a heavy anchor.
Telephone dnstead of telegraph as orig
inally Intended will be used, thus saving
the txpense of an operator 0.1 the rock.
CAPTAIN'S WARNING UNHEEDED.
Scarcely a 'Doubt Now Exists That Isaac
son Was Drowned.
Oharles Isaacson, who was employed on
the lightship and who it Is supposed was
drowned last Sunday, was about 2$ years
of age und unmarried.
Captain Cann said yesterday that he
left the ship last Sunday in one of the
small! boats to take a boat ride. Mr. Cann
tofid him not to go far from the lightship
us the iweather looked threatening, and
unless he was a good siwlmmer it would
be dangerous. He replied that If he did
not get back, the boat would. He then
pulled towards the bar He was some
four or five miles away when last seen by
those on the lightship and appeared to
be returning. The storm which the cap
tuln had warned him to be careful of,
overtook him, and they could see him
making frantic efforts to pull tor the
ahrp. finally both boat and occupant dis
appearing from view.
Mr. Cann arrived In the city Tuesday
evening, and yesterday morning left for
Fort Canby, to see if anything is known
at that place concerning the fate of the
unlucky man. Mr. Cann says that while
he believes he was lost, there Is still a
chance that he might have reached a
place of safety. The captain was expect
ed back last evening, but at 10 o'clock
had not returned and the result of his
visit is not known.

W. W. KIMBALL CO.
Something of Its History, Location and
Output.
For the benefit of those. If there bs
any, who have not heard of the great
Klmfbail Co., und the unprecedented fame
of the Kimball piano, I will state a few
facts In regard to its history, location
and output, which I trust will prove of
Interest as well as benefit to persons
interested in the purchase nf an Instru
ment. As far back as the fifties Mr. W.
W. Kimball, the head of the Kimball
Co., began telling organs made In the
east iat Chicago. A few years later recog
nizing Chicago's natural advantages over
the east as a manufacturing center with
all the requisite materials at her very
door, and her great geographical advan.
tagea as a distributing point, giving the
Chicago manufacturer a two fold saving
of freight on the raw material east and
on the manufactured article west, Mr.
Kimball began ' making organs himself.
By exercising strict economy In every
branch and shrewd business management
which has characterized his business car
eer, his business grew and it he manufac
ture of Kimball organs increased. He
was burned out during the great Chicago
fire, but was fortunately Insured, and
Immediately converted his stable Into a
factory and contlmred manufacturing or
gans pending the erection of a new fac
tory on the west side. This business
continued to Increase; new additions were
built; a corporation with Mr. Kimball,
or the governor, as he Is familiarly called
by the employes, as president, was organ
ized; a few years later, with his usual
keen Insight and business sagacity, he
erected another factory and began the
manufacture of the Kimball piano. The
Kimball factories (piano and organ) to
day consist of four five-story factories
with a frontage of 140 feet and a depth
of 130 feet and have a floor space of over
11 acres, with a capacity of 30 pianos
and 60 organs per day. The Kimball
piano and organ Is sold in every civil
ized country on the globe, with large
depots in London, I.verpool, Melbounne,
etc. Its rapid growth in popularity and
vse and Indorsement by the leading musi
cians of the world has dazzled all rivals,
uiKll today it is In the .front ranks an
acknowledged leadjr, and competitors
stand agnast and ask eich other how
It happened and what can be done to
stop this KOmball In its onward march.
Not to know the' Kimball Co. and its
Instruments is pardonable in the laity,
but is utterty Inexcusable in any one
in the -music profession, and If they
don't know the Kimball it Is because they
are not pasted or have some Interest in
not knowing It. In conclusion-1 will state
I make this stateme.it to protect the
public against any misrepresentations
which Interested dealers may undertake
to make regarding the Kimball Co., its
business and goods, and hope these re
marks may help to guide a generous pub
Ik in its selection of a reliable Instru
ment. The proof of the merit of the new scale
Kimball piano Is shown by their phenom-
Inal tale, and the class of- people who
buy them. Some of Asrla's best
musicians use and endorse It.
Two carloads of these Instruments are
row being soid In Astoria by the manu
facturers to private buyers direct at
special prices, and are on exhibitin at
EGG Commercial street. Kimball Co.'s Pa
cific coast warerooms are located In the
Marquotn building at Portland.

REGISTERS A KICK.
A Citizen Who Does Not Like a Few
Things.
To the Editor:
I understand that the committee ap
pointed to manage the reeatta has chosen
to give the official program to parties who
Intend to charge visitors and the public
of Astoria for the privilege of reading It
If this Is true, ar.-d I have every reason to
be'ileve that It is, the committee has been
guilty of a shameful proceeding which
ought to be vigorously sat djwn upon.
They are going to bring thousands of
peoirfe here to what is ostensibly a free
show, and make them pay money to see
a program of the festivities.
In the first place I do' not believe that
any bids for programs from outsiders
should have been called for at all. Last
year our regatta committee printed Its
own, programs, every man, woman and
child who witnessed the sports was E-up-pCltd,
and the expense didn't amount to
ten dollars. But even If this year's com
mittee had decided to call for bids, -why
didn't t'hey do It In a square and manly
fashion, by letting people know that they
were open for offers? Instead of this
they went round privately and advised
two or three "on the quiet" to put In
applications. The result is that an im
position is about to be worked on our
visitors. This is no private snap. It is
a putyllc regatta given by the citizens of
Astoria and to which they have subscrib
ed liberally. One of the pleas for draw
ing out those subscriptions was the "cost
of .programs." Shall our visitors be al
lowed to go tack to their homes and tell
their friends with sneers that the city
of Astoria had to charge for its regatta
programs?
Of course the committee has so many
fearfully heavy expenses to bear that the
big amount necessary for printing pro
grams could not possibly be spared. Let
them see to It that the. blil for private
Junketing and half a dozen useless steam
belts flying ail over the course from
sunrise to sunset doesn't coma to more
than three or four hundred dollars.

Special Correspondence.
Gearhart Park, Augjst 1, 1895.
A viry. pleasing inclde H of caxp life
at Gearhart, was the singing of patriotic
songg by Mrs. E. E. Coovert, of Vancou
ver, Wash. Her rendition of the "Star
Spat.gled 'Banner" and ."Columbia, the
Gem of the Ocean," being very inspiring.
Lost evening Tuesday) a mock court
martial was held at the camp, affording
much diversion to the many visiters.
A cot was placed near the flag pole, under
which a man was placed; a piece of car
pet was then laid near the cot, In such
a position that th- man could give it a
vigorous pull. The prisoners were then,
brought one by one from the guard terit
and placed before the Judge advocate
they being unconscious of the dangers
of the innocent looking carpet on which
they were standing.
As each man pleaded guilty he was
summarily ordered to be shot and as
sentence was given the carpet was pulled
and a gun fired, the result being a much
mlrth-altordlng tumble for the prisoner.
Needless to say the crowd thoroughly en
Joyed the sport.
Dr. H. A. Barmore, son of the genial
host of the Hotel Gearhart, with his
friend, Dr. E. E. Erhardt, of San Fran
Cisco, is here visiting. Both gentlemen
are good musicians and no doubt will
prove a valuable acquisition to Gear
hart society.
The bowling alley, which was recently
completed, Is proving a big success. Much
credit is due the management of the hotel
for placing such am attraction on the
grounds.
Miss E. Blagen and Mr. C. H. Mclsaac
are the champion bowlers so far.
The guests of the Gearhart hotel are
on the qui vive of expectation, owing to
the fact that Mr. Barmore, the manager,
has promised them a big surprise, those
acquainted with the gentleman realize
that a rare treat Is In store tonight.

a purchaser has to select from, such as
the world renowned Chlckerlng, Fischer,
Bradbury, Hardman, Bush & Gerts, and
other celebrated makes, they certainly
have a greater udvntue over the dealtr
