Is located at the terminus of the Astoria and Colntntia River Railroad, at the mouth of the Columbia River. . It fronts on the deep water of the Columtia River Harbor, and fcetojj perfectly protected from wind and seas, affords the very test docks for ships on this hay; therefore, it is the exact spot for the seaport of the freat Northwest. These facts were reconked ty the Astoria & Columtia 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 ty 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. ! Ad offlo. ha been opened by the pro I prietors on. door out of th. Cro.br hard war .tore. Call, be ataown th merit, of this property, and In Teat.

Alex. Gilbert's pavilion and grounds at Seaside may be had for use free by persons or societies that wish to give ex cursions to the beach. Both pavilion and grounds are In excellent condition, and those who wish to give picnics would greatly add to the attractions by accepting Mr. Gilbert's liberal offer. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon Dr. E. Jansen and Mme. Alberta Flnck, the well known musician, were united in marriage by the Rev. J. J. Walter. The happy couple took the evening boat for Portland where they will spend a few days with friends, and from there will go to San Francisco on a short wedding trip. Judge Nelson was yesterday very busy issuing city bonds and warrants. Bonds to the amount $1,089.76 were Is sued to S. Normlle for the grading of two blocks on Grand avenue, and bonds to the amount of 83,502.67 and warrants to the amount of 8389.18 were issued to Clinton & Co. for the im provement of Exchange street. In the matter of the ferry to con nect with the Lewis and Clarke road, there Is apparently some hitch con cerning the approaches on the Astoria side. The county court has received and opened bids on the west aide ap proaches, but will not let any con tracts until the city council provides for the approaches on the Astoria side. As soon as the city completes the approaches to the Young's river ferry connecting with the new Lewis and Clarke road, teams from the Wallus ki and John Day can drive right through to Seaside. Fifty teams. It is said, will come to Astoria for the re gatta if they can get Into the clty.The west side approaches will be finished in two weeks. Fishermen who returned yesterday from a trip In the Nehalem, report that some of the residents In that vi cinity are in the habit of using dyn amite in the streams, thus killing quantities of fish which only rot. One of the principal offenders was last year fined for this same practice. The authorities should see that the cus tom Is stopped. A gentleman who came to Astoria the other day with his family, bring ing with him a handsome team, ex pecting to recuperate his health by drives in and around the city, thus get ting the full benefit of Astoria's fine climate, made one excursion on the Walluxkl road, and upon his return immediately offered his carriage and horses for sale. He couldn't stand the churning process. Photogiipher Snodgrass got him self Into quite a box at the recent Methodist Sunday school picnic at Fort Canby. He took with him a camera and a number of plates, and supposing that everything was all right made half a dozen snap shots' at as many funny groups. But when he came to develop the pictures, found that part of the machinery had been left out, and he couldn't get a single impression. ROYAL BaKing Powder. Highest of ell In leavening Strength. V. S. Government Report HERE ARE BARGAINS THE SCOW BAY DEPOT CONTRACT . Lct Ycstcrdnv to A. C. Gocrltj, Which daces Entire Line toiler Cunst ruction, MR. HAMMOND IIF.RE TO STAY Now 1 the Tiac tor PaistM Met aid rrofxrty Ooacm to Cnmmtict the Greater Work ol Sttsriag .liaulactorits. The Scow Pay depot contract was let yesterday. Work on the entire railroad Is now In progress. The last contract u let yesterday afternoon on the main line. A. C. Goerlg was the successful bidder who secured the contract for the foundation pile driving for the yards as well as the contract for the Scow Pay depot. Honeyman, Dellart Sk Co. have a force of men at work and will increase the number of gangs as rapidly as possible. A large part of the grading on the main line to Goblc will be completed by the time winter seta In. The Seashore division Is In good shape, and the rolls across the Young's Hay bridge will be laid as soon aa the first ship arrives. The I Flavel dock will be ready In a few J days for the unloading of these rails. and old seamen expressed the opinion that If the southwesterly wind now blowing continues for a short time, one or the other or both ships will show up. The Warrenton depot Is rapidly approaching completion, and by next summer all will be In readiness to handle the new wheat crop. Prominent property owners yesterday expressed the opinion that the work had been pushed forward with greater rapidity than they had antlcpated. The rail road company, In fact, has done more than it promised to do this season, and Is spending many thousands of dollars which have helped to make As toria a good business point In spite of hard times. Mr. A. B. Hammond arrived yester day morning and says that he Is here to stay to look after his Interests and those of the railroad. When question ed by an Astorlan representative aa to the probabilities of other enter prises being taken up this fall, Mr. Hammond said: "Men with money to Invest In pay ing enterprises, do not have to be hunted for with a gun. You cannot, however, expect outsiders to take hold of propositions which the residents and property owners of your own community are not willing to take hold of themselves. What Astoria needs besides a railroad is payrolls, and these can only be secured by Ini tiatory action upon the part of lead ing business men and property owners In any community. There are won derful opportunities here for the de velopment of natural resources which will make this one of the richest com cemclat centers on the coast, but It seems to me that such enterprises as sawmills, flouring mills, elevators and dry docks should be started by Asto ria ns. Others will quickly fall Into line when they see a determined spirit manifested by your own people here." Many times In these columns have prominent business men and visitors eulogized Astoria and commented at length upon Its extraordinary natural resources. Beyond a question of doubt, however, the fact remains that little can be accomplished towards es tablishing manufactories and develop ing those resources unless Astorlans themselves first put their shoulders to the wheel. Take the one matter of a sawmill. This port should control not only its own factories for home con sumption, but also the shipments of lumber to foreign ports. ..Today It Is Impossible to let contracts In this city for large amounts of rough or Unladed lumber, or sash, doors and blinds, to Awarded Highest Honors World's Fair, Oold Medal, Midwinter Fair.

Sunday, July 26, 1896 FOR THE BENEFIT OP t HERHAN WISE'S CuSTOflERS COMHERCIAL STREET NEAR TWELFTH say nothing of high grades of mould ings, flooring, panel work. etc. Con tractors are obliged to go to Port land for this class of work when It Is wanted In large quantities. Thia Is not a favorable comment upon a dis tinctively lumbering town and dis trict. As It was remarked yesterday, the principal occupation of Astorlans seems to be the booming of unim proved property and waiting for out side capitalists to come in and buy It at fancy prices. Certainly little can be accomplished for the advancement of the city and the lower Columbia by such methods. The rule does not ap ply to all aa there are many notable exceptions who have given liberally and worked hard to secure the rail road and have made advances tow ards securing manufacturing enter prises. The work, however, of build ing up this port has only Just com menced. The railroad, while It Is the beginning, and a most important part of the march of events, 1 really the smallest part. The hard work la yet to be done. The merchants who ex pect things to com? to them, should turn In and do something themselves towards establishing payrolls In this city. It Is by these enterprises that they are to be permanently benefited, and the merchants should be In the front rank of every movement looking to the securing of factories, ware houses and drydocks. Had there been (urge establishments here, with the nerve and grit to enter the field. It is not probable that the contract for building the line to Goble would have been let to Portland merchants at one hundred thousand dollars less than the lowest Astoria bid. One of the first enterprises needed Is a sawmill and sash and door factory capable of supplying the needs of the home market as well as furnishing cargoes for shipment to the Orient. It Is almost certain that the next con gress of the United States will pass the Nicaragua canal bill, and before many years Oregon lumber will not on ly go to a few markets In the orient and along the American Pacific coast, but It can be put Into the markets of the Atlantic seaboard and Europe. All these matters hnve to be taken in time and preparations made to meet fu ture conditions which will arise as surely as the sun set lost night. Other lines of Industry are Just as Important and need the same attention. It goes without saying that those same ener getic, hard-working business men who have so far stuck to the Astoria proposition will continue their good work and enthuse their lukewarm brethren.
