I cannot under stand why, after having done all that we have done, we should b called upon to give up everythlwr. we have. I am wil ling to be one to help secure the ".V. 8.

But he prob ably expressed the -ntlment of all those present when aald lhat there waa still a iiitin question oi jive and lake on both aide a between Mr. Welch and th railroad company, Dr. J. A. Pulton atated that he did not understand that the railroad committee had ever promised a depot. Two aites were already offered, and he did not think the Scow Hay .lie would ever be given.

HAMMOND'S P08ITIOK. Some further diacusslon took place by an nanus, ami men Mr. Uoaalin, repre senting tne railroad company, arose and Bpoke at aome length. He aald: "Th position we occupy prevents ua from committing the raflroad to any par ticular site. I nave frequently askid Mr. Hammond to limit the site, and have asked him to cut oul block 130. but he haa been very emphatic In hla replies .to the effect thai he needs Ihe south half of block ISO. It la th? only place on Commercial atrtet where the depot ground approaches the railroad on "hat atreet. There are good r canons for placing- a price on this particular piece of ground, and of securing It In the site. The entrance to the depot grounds is very important. If the depot Is located on the block adjoining th one in which this tract la located, there must be ample way provided for carriages, hacks, ve hicle of all kinds, to reach th depot from the street, and Mr. Hammond Mate that he cannot get along without It. This Is very true, and in making this statement I give my own Individual views. 1 am sure that Mr. Hammond prefers the Scow Hay silo. He pr-f,'ra It for several reasons. The Important one Is not as has been supposed, for his own advantage, but that he sees that the depot located there will prove of the groutfst service to the city of Astoria, and In reaching that conclusion he has leen governed by the needs of the people for a centrally' located depot, and which fact they will realise more fully In the future. The business of Ihe railioud com pany could Just as well be conducted from either end of the town: but look ing at the mutter from the standpoint of one who Is Interested In the advancement of the town, It would be folly to main tain that either of those sites would tie aa good as the central. Another point I want to make Js that no selfish motive . (Continued on Fourth Pago.) Having Hoe Cake Soap in your kit chn or bath once means always.

San Francisco, March 11 The steam ship Alameda, which arrived here today from Australia, 8amoa and Honolulu, brought newa of the aafe arrival of the missing steamship Rio de Janeiro at Honolulu, March 1. The Rio de Jan iro left this port thlrty-rlve days ago for Yokohama, and grave fears were enter tained for her safey. Reinsurance of the ship and her cargo had already begun. According to the news received from Honolulu, bad weather and heavy winds prevailed for several days after the Rio left San Francisco. For eight days the gale was extremely severe, with the bar ometer falling all the time. February 3 the coal supply ran short, and It was decided to turn around and make for Honolulu. The officers thought there was more chance of reaching Honolulu than Y'okohama. The staterooms aft were torn wn and sent to the furnace to keep the steamer going. Even the mlxxenmast had to come down and go Into the furnace. She took in l.nio ions of coal and resumed her voyage to the Orient the same night. MUTUALLY DECLINED.
