Bays That Ropert is a Priest, but that
Ho is Insane.

man, who cCBlms to know, says that the
bogus biShtop, Ropert, who imposed on
the Cath'oilc clergy and mi arrested at
Astoria for obtaining money undtr false
pretenses, la scarcely responsible for his
actions. He says that Ropert was once
a Catholic priest in Hampton, Canada,
and thet on account of his refusing to
accept some of the tncMngs of the
church, for instance the doctrine of the
lnfaWUlUy of the Pope-there arose a
quarrel beOweea him and the curch su.
thortetes, and he was relieved.

FIR IffiWG PLANS
Mr. Hammond Plans for the
Future City.
THE NtW ASTORIA LAID OUT
Work Progressing and Soon All
Will Bo Under Way-Plan of
Tunnel Changed.
The Oregonlan of yesterday says?
"Mr. A. B. Hahnmondi the Astoria rail
road contractor, will be in this city to
morrow to attend to Important business
In connection with the Kne. It is un
derstood that there are two surveying
parties out now bdbween Goble and As
toria, and the real work of building the
road will commence In a very short time.
It is not known ua yet at which end of
the Mine work will commence. Mr. Ham
mond has com pS eltied the preCimlnary de
tails of his Flav4 project, and those
who have been let lnlto his secreits are
astonished at the magnitude of the work
outinied. The entire peninsula has teen
Uld out into a CCty, iwhloh will reach
from Young's river to the ocean.
vVUiarves, grain and other kinds of ware
houses, faotorieSv-andi hotels are provided
for. While no one expects that a great
city will spring up there in the Immediate
future, 'Mr. Hammond iwili bi prepared
for ithe development that will be worked
out on a complete plan. Engineer Ho
gardlt, who iwias for years In charge of the
Coiumlbia River Jetty work, has ably as
sisted Mr. Harnmond In Haying out this
work.' '
When tlhtown the above Mr. HUmmond
stilted to an Astorian representative that
tho article was subatanJUally correct In
its ddtails, hut that the announcement
was a little premature. It will take years
to develope such a scheme, but Whe plans
are laid out carefully and scieniUflcally
and the city will be a perfect one. It will
be ithe" locaitlon of manufactories and
warehouses, as It will have the space to
aevote to inem.
No doubt old Astoria wilt be the reel,
denco portion, and tit ts quite probable
that her banks and business houses will
oontlnulte ito trrJaiintain the lead. .
To an inquiry yeUterday. Mr. Hammond
stated that the (bridge across Young's
river would be completed by December
1, 1895. This will mean much to Astoria,
and by the t&ne winter eats in a locomo
tive iwfll no doubt be in the city, .the fore
runner of 'that commerce by rail which Is
to up-build tlhe oity to a pinnacCe of com
mercial supremacy.
The engineers are pushing the work ol
laying out the line on various parts of the
right of way and soon active construction
work will begin. ,
The site for a depot has not yet been
deflnJteSy decided upon. The location near
the Clatsop Mil Is eligible and another
has been offered in AldeTbrook, DBoth
locations ere under consideration.
The engineers have praotically decided
to make a longer tunned at John Days
In order to reduce the curves-
Mr. Hammond went to Portland last
rlglhlt whence he will return In two cr
three 3)ajn. If Is understood' that the
object of his trip Is to Start the con
struotion company under way. Before
many days butty scenes will be enacted
In and around Astoria.
STATE NEWS.
Interesting Items Culled from Oregon's
LiadCng Newspapers.
"It Is common gossip now," according
to the Gazette, 'it hat Mr. John Uaffln, of
New York City, one of the famous dry
goods house of H. B. Clafltn and Co., In
connection . with two or three tqually
wealthy men, standi at the back of Mr.
Hammond, ready to asalst him in every
way In the development of his new ac
quirements. Mr. Hammond neither de
nies nor contlirms such a rumor, but It
comes from a moat reliable source that
such is the fact. Mr. Hammond last week
sent Instructions to Manager Stone, at
CorvaiUs, to make estimates of ,th
amount of money required to put the
road in flrst-olass physical condition, and
also to ascertain .what the required ma
terial can be secured for on the basis of
cash payment. Mr. Hammond feds well
asRured that he has embarked Into what
wtH prove a profitable enterprise. As to
what his Intentions are, he remained re
ticent yesterday, but it is deemed certain
that not only will the road be physically
Improved, but that arrangements will be
made to construct several branchu lead
ing to important points In t'he Willam
ette valley. The extension of the direct
road eastward to a transcontinental con
nection Is expected to be realized within
a reasonable time."
The report of Henry BCiackman, col
lector of Internal revenue for the year
ending June SO, has been completed. It
gives some interesting figures concerning
the liquor and tobacco business In Ore
gon, Washington and Alaska. There are
2.023 taloons or-retail liquor d a'Jers in
Oregon and Washington. There are 73 In
Alaska, making 2,738 In the whole diK:rict.
Highest of all in Leavening Powers Latest U. S. Gov't Report
Oregon has 1,382, while Washington has
1,283, or 99 fewer saloons. This propor
tion hoMs good in other lines of the li
quor business. For instance Oregon has
29 breweries while Washington has M.
Taken with the similar number of sa
loons this seems to prove that less beer
is drunk in Washington than in Oregon.
In Alaska beer seems to be in demand.
There are seven breweries. Considering .
tne small population a very, large amount
of beer is drunk per capita or else the
Dreweries are very small. As Alaska la
not noted for hot weather, which is pro
ductive of a thirst for beer. It is to be
Inferred that the breweries are small.
The 65 breweries in Oregon and Washing
ton made 178,26)f barrels of beer during the
fiscal year, commencing July 1, l&H, and
ending on June 30 lasit. This amount of
beer was consumed by about 7M),000 peo
ple, whltsh means that every 4 1-10 person,
including women and children, . drank a
Darren of beer during the ,twelve months.
Mr. Case, a well known pioneer resi
dent of Marion county, who has a huck-
itDerry patch on his farm has bnoun)t
in his last load of berries for this sea
son, saya the Post. The area in huckie-
berries, he says, would amount to five
acres, but it Is scattered in patches over
about 100 acres. He has hauled away
from the patch over 5,000 pounds, and has
sold .there another thousand pounds, rea
lizing on the whole nearly J1U0. He iooks
on his huckleberry patch as the most
prolVteble part of his farm, and has had
a man employed lor six weeks to watch
It, as people come from a distance to
gather .the' berries for him. He woulld
prefer that they should go into his grain
field and help themselves to wheat. Ev
ery three or four years he has to burn
the ground over, and then a new growth
of bushes conitS up, and the berries are
good for several crops and then they
have to be burned off, and he goes one
year without a crop. As to Increasing
the output by transplanting busaus or
raising more, lie says he has never at
tempted it, for he has known others to
try such schemes, but they have always
fa.ltd. His idea Is that the huckleberry
must grow wild or not grow at ail.
