o cited at the terminus of the Astoria and
Colnratfa River Railroad, at the mouth of the
Columbia River.
It fronts on the deep water of the ColumfcU
River Harbor, and belli? perfectly protected from
wind and seas, affords the very best docks for
ships on this bay: therefore, it is the exact spot
for the seaport of the great rtortbwest.
These facts were recognized by the Astoria
& Columbia River Railroad Co. when
New Astoria Was Selected as
the Starting Point for their Railroad
and the Location for the Terminals.
Hew Astoria is platted npon a plane high
enough for perfect drainage, and well protected
by a high ridge behind it.
Its streets and avenues are wide, and, in
fact, it is laid out on modern plans.
Extensive street improvements are now un
der way.

er day that he hAd noticed from accounts
of doings In the east ns well as at home
A ...II 1. n ...... I . . . . . . .
that thern seems to be In nil of the
churches of thfl present day a trend to
organize societies having distinctly mili
tary features In their orgnnltntlon. This
tendency Is apparent In the Catholic nnd
Evangelical denominations as well. The
Catholic church has been enrournglng
for sevrml years pnst the formation of
uniformed knights, with all the necessary
military accoutrements In their ranks.
These orders of knlghlhond have been
Increasing fast, so that It present there
Is senrcely a Catholic church which does
not own one or more of them. In the
Protestant and Evangelical denomina
tion the military features nrn largely
confined to the youth of the' congrega
tions, who have been organised Into mil
itary companies, with various nnmes.
Thus, the "Hovs' ftrlgnde," nnd the
"Boys' Gospel Army" are Inking a fnst
hold on the affections of christians. Of
course, the great Salvation Armv Is en
tirely outside of the churches, but It Is
more -than any other religious organiza
tion modelled nfter tho severe discipline
and regulations of army Indies. And
yet all this display of military prowess
does not seem to Indlcnto nny unfriendly
ntHt tn Aach Alh, f la .,,. t V.& ,,m-
bollcul dress of the spiritual warfare, j
which, they any, they nre currying on
against the common enemy. As a fact,
It Is worthy of observation and study.
