Railroad Company Expects to Knn

The British bark Chelmsford, which
arrived Monday, loaded with fishplates,
bolts and steel rails, will today tie up
at the new dock at Flavel and com
mence discharging at 11 o'clock.
Through an error In yesterday's Issue
the tonnage of rails was given as 130U
when It should have read 3100.
President T. H. Curtis, Mr. Gosslin,
Chief Engineer Jamleson and others
visited the Chelmsford and Flavel and
made arranvementa for her quick dis
charge. In the afternoon Superintend
ent Lester will run a string of flatcars
onto the new dock, and as the rails
are taken from the ship they will be
loaded directly on the cars and run
through Warrenton to the bridge where
the track gang will proceed to put
them In place. Mr. Curtis says they
will work as many men as possible On
the bridge, but as the rails have to be
handled over the enms of the cars, and
as there Is little room for many men
to work, it will take longer to lay the
track than it would If they were work
ins: on solid ground. Barring any ac
cidents, ' however, he anticipates ha v.
lng everything ready to run the first
train In from Seaside for the early Sun
day morning passenger. This will be
. a great event In the history of Asto
ria, and following so closely on the
heels 'of the regatta, with the city al
ready handsomely decorated. It would
certainly not be unbecoming to cele.
brate the event In a fitting manner.
Captain lGreenleaf, of Portland might
possibly decide to visit the beach at
that time, and bring with him one or
two of his big guns. Whether he does
or not, there are plenty of Chinese
bombs and fire crackers.
Mr. Densmore was yesterday ap
pointed foreman of the rail gang, and
as he is an experienced man In his de
partment, and it goes without saying
that If in the power of human beings
the rails will be laid to the O. R. and
N. dock by Sunday morning. Presi
dent Curtis thinks they will call the
new dock at Flavel the Chelmsford dock
as she will be the first deep sea vessel
to tie up there. Captain Thompson
will doubtless appreciate the compli
ment.
As It takes 118 tons of rails of the
' size brought by the Chelmsford to lay
one mile of track, it will be seen that
he carries several miles In her hold.

him he must take from somebody else.
Who Is to be despoiled and who Is to
be enriched by the exercise of this
new scheme of government?
(A cry of "The silver mine-owners").
"My friends, the silver mine-owners
will be cheated with the rest. A gov
ernment can never be generous, be
cause If It be generous to one It must
be oppressive to another. But this
financial scheme contemplates an In
crease In the price of certain commodi
ties. If the price of commodities be
Increased, and the price of labor be
left stationary, why that means the
cutting down of the rate of wages
The more abundant the product, the
hleher the wages. There cannot be
abundant product unless labor is ex
tenslvely employed.
Mr. Bryan would have you believe
that prosperity Is advanced by cheap
ening the rate of wages, but a fall In
the rate of wages always comes from
a narrow production, and narrow pro
duction means there Is little demand
for labor In the market."
ALL SHE-RAFTERS.
When the big log raft arrived down
from Stella Sunday afternoon large
crowds flocked to the docks to see It.
Among tliera were a gentleman from
Stella and an Easterner.
By Jove." said the latter; "that's
a great piece of work. I never saw
anything like It In my life."
"Yes," great thing, said the man
from Stella. "Funny thing about it,
too. Only women were employed In Its
construction all women rafters."
'"T'ell!" ejaculated the Easterner.
"Is that on the square, or are you just
Joshing me?"
"Yes," what I'm telling you Is
strlght business."
"You don't say! And how did that
strange condition of affairs come
about? New women?"
"Nope, not exactly. You see, It was
this way. Some time ago Bob Inger-
sol came our way and made quite an
impression on the people. He preached
against the he-rafter and now they
employ none but women. Funny snap,
eh?"
For Just one moment the man from
the effete East looked at the man from,
Stella and then, murmuring a fervent
prayer, plunged into the river, and
was seen no more. The man from
Stella Is still at large.
