The property own era of Astoria will aurely feel the ef fect of the tirades made against Mr. Hammond and the railroad company and the auaplcinna engendered against all property In the city, by the Infain oua publication referred to In Judge Taylor's letter. I cannot find words strung enough to express my dlaap proval of auch methods, and am thor oughly satlsfled that the time has come to apply a remedy to the evil. "We all know what solid work has been done by the railroad both In As toria proper and at Flavel and War renton. The entire water front from Fort Stevens to Tongue point haa but one Interest In common, and will and must be developed on a basis for mu tual benefit to both aide of the bay I am satisfied that the better clasa of pnierty owners on the east and west sldea of Young'a Hay realise that a dollar spent In one place only helps to bring a dollar In the other.

Not no much because of the Injury done to us at homo by the circulation through some of our new papers of the false reports referred to by him, but the Incalculable damage done to the entire community abroad Is In my niliul the great point to be remedied. We, hero In Astoria, know the papers which have made such re ports, and to how much credence they are entitled. IVople In the East, how ever, and oven In other portions of Oregon, naturally think there Is some truth In such statements when they are permitted from time to time to be circulated without denial on tho part of ourselves. I have been nil over the railroad work In this city and vicinity. An old- tlnie partner nnd friend of mine who worked with me on rnllmud construc tion years uk", and who is now one of Corey lirothers' foremen, told me that never before had he seen such substantial railroad construction In every particular, as tho Astoria and Columbia Itlver ltallroad as already completed. Wo ought to help 11am inon.l, or any one else who will do as much for the town as ho has done. I have worked on railroad grades and tracks myself nnd know what I am talking about. Hammond has done a magnificent piece of work, and tho un truthful criticisms which havo been made only hurt tho town permitting them to bo spread abroad. If the cit izens of Astoria want that kind of abuse nnd are willing to wait for an other generation to reap the benefits of the railroad, Instead of building up (Continued on Fourth Page.)
