H.ti-iH,nA and appointments was mly second to the Portland Imtel. From the hotel porch a good view was had of St. Helens and Rainier, the atmosphere being extremely clear. The capa:n, who tn 1S52 drove the piles in Flavel's wharf In Astoria, which are still stand ing ki a good state of preservation, at that time predicted that at the mouth of the mighty Columbia, which had its sources In tlhe snow-cpred mountains and was fresh water to the ocean, would be a great port some day, if for no ouher reason than that the teredo could not live in Its harbor. The steamer Wenona brought the ex eurslonlxts back to the city for lunch, and afterwards all were the guests of Mr. Hammond on a trip up the river along the railroad grade. The trip ex tended as far as Rlnld Slough, beyond the Corey Bros, section, and the return was made In time to get dinner and take the Bailey Gatxert to Portland. In speaking of the trip. Mr. Eugene Shelby said: "We were all dellthtea Tth everything we saw. The day was oerf.il and never before have I so ahoivughly realized what this wh' le pr.iedtlon at the mouth of the Colum bia means. It U tremendous, and Wells. Fargo & Co. will do business here en a large scale. The railroad grade a.i! piling is the most substantial piece of work I ever saw. It Is put up to stay and for the heaviest traffic. Even the tip rapping along the river front Is of very heavy material. When the cars come Into Astoria over that lino they will not be empty." Dr. Chance, what do you think of the proposition at Astoria?" "Well, we came down to see the best harbor on the Pacific const, and we have -seen it, atfid sosin you people here will begin to realize what you have. Much as I have known about the work here, I was as much surprised as the others at the progress made and the tremendous possibility before this town as a seaport and commercial center. Ev ery tifne I come here I am more and more Impressed with the situation and Astoria's great future. Too much can not be said of the solidly built road Mr. Hammond is giving you, and the enter prise of the Westslders in laying the foundations for a:i auxiliary town which will some day be the center of many manufacturing enterprises, while the old Astoria will so grow that the oldest Inhabitant will not know It In a few years." Mr. R. L. Durham sold that much progress had bien made since his last visit, and that he believed a few months now would see a great change here. Mr. Cooikt said that he had heard much about Astoria and her beautiful harbor, but the half had not been told. When asked about his impressions of Astoria ami Che railroad, Mr. Morris. Che banker, said: "I made up my mind about Astoria some time ago, but never till today realized the extant and mean big of the Improvements being made Chocolate ""IS) 99 ryWF - here. I have awn many railroads built, but the Airtorta road beats thorn all at ttw out-t. This la tbe flrst time I cverj saw converged piling used. It la some-1 tffiltig new tn engineering, and makes J a solid roadway. The gradng Is sxcH-1 tant, and the sMel rails the best and heavlewt. It all evidently means bust-' news. We all enjoyed the steamboat rid along the grade very much and: have had a delightful day." I ONE OK THE OLDEST. Al. McGUlls Completes His Fourteenth I Year on the Columtia. i While ki the city Sunday, speaktng! of river matters, Mr. L. B. Beiey said that on Saturday Steward Al.
