New Astoria...
Is located at tbe terminus of the Astoria and
Columtia River Railroad, at tbe mouth of the
Columtia River.
It fronts on the deep water of the Columbia
River Hartor. and being perfectly protected from
wind and seas, affords tbe very best docks for
ships on this bay: therefore. It is the exact spot
for the seaport of the reat Northwest.
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.
New Astoria is platted upon 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 arc now un
der way.

Clergymen In America are a privileged
class, and they ought to be a very happy
set of people. In Germany and France,
and In Italy also, they must render mili
tary service, Jut as laymen do. In
Germany It is the custom to do them a
favor by consigning them to the hosid
tals, where their professional skill will
com? Into play, but in France, on the
other hand, and In Italy, too, no favor
of any kind are shown them. They must
take their chances with the rest of the
world and go Into the ranks. We Amerl
cans ari a little less severe and a good
deal moro respectful. A great many
clergymen were In the civil war, and
some few were In the ranks as common
soldiers, but It was their option to oc
cupy that position. The truth Is we
treat everybody pretty well in thin coun
try, and It Is the best spot on the globe
to live in.
Mr. H. R. Robertson, of San Franlcco,
who is well known as the successful
; rafter of timber from the Columbia to

i Mr. Robertson say they are making
! good progress with the raft under con
struction, and that It will not take so
i long to build this one as It did to put
i the one together last year. The men have
, become experts In the work, and expect
to have this raft completed by July IE.
i Next year Mr. Kobertson thinks he will
build three rafts. The present raft in-
eludes an order for VM)i feet of big tim
ber for one of the railroads In California.
There are also three hundred ships' spars
1 and masts ranging from K, to W, feet
In length, and averaging from h to :a
Inches in diameter at the top. The slicks
; are absolutely clear, and are the hand
somest ones which ever left tbo river.
, Mr. Uobertson will return In about three
weeks' time.

struction of the brewery. The work ot

Is being laid on the top of the plies, saw

San Francisco, May S), W
Editor Dally Astorinn:-
Whll chatting with an old Astorian
at th Occidental hotel In tl cliy lust
evening aloul the terrible time you are
haling up there on the Columbia river
aliout your fishing business. I met an
old friend who told m that he had some
to k and wu employed by th Ala
ka Packer' Axaoriation. He said that the
Alaska Packers' Association had bought
up th leader of th fishermen union
and on newspaper at Astoria and one
at Cuthlamet to hold the strike as long
a they could, the same as Coleman's
man Johnson did ome years ago. Now
there are a lot of the boy up there who
are friend of mine, and It I too bocl
to have them humbugged by those fel
low when there I lomethlng to be
made. I wish fish were a plentiful us
when I fished for Hob Hume at Hay
View; then we all made money. Re

It wa getting late; the night policeman
was Jut bidding the servnnt girl "good
night." A man came wobbling along
Columbus avenue; he was well dressed:
his watch had fallen from his vest pocket
and hung pendant from the chain. He
hal a bleaching board voice and a Row
ery complexion. He stopped at th Unit
white post he saw; the cars passed him
Idly by. HI patience exhausted, and
iteelng another electric car coming along
he stood In front of the track. "Got to
take me now," he muttered to himself.
Rang, clang, clang! "Get out of the
way, there!"
He woke up on the edge of the curb
stone, where the kind motor-man hod
placed him. "Gosh, that waxier mall

to find the first rotten fish In our town.
No fish ar received (rum th Bound ex

It was reported Inst night on good au
