Those who have watched the building and subsequent develop ment of the great R. R. systems of the West cannot have failed to note the almost simultaneous growth of the surrounding country, as well as the radical changes following in the railroads and their relations to each other. From one pioneer line across the continent the Union Pacific there have since sprung three trans continents! lines, with others in construction. The vast deserts through which these railroads have been built are being peopled and an astonishing growth in population has taken place on the Pacific Coast The railroad's themselves have made great strides in the matter of im proved machinery and methods of handling traffic, and have been able through these improvements to so lessen the cost of transportation as to enable them, in a measure, to meet the constantly increasing de mand of the public for cheaper rates and more expensive accomo dations for passengeis and freight Ever since the passage of the in terstate commerce act in 1887, by the Shelby M. Cullom Illinoi Granger element, the railroads have been put upon the defensive in or der to earn anything like their fixed charges, to say nothing of profits. A very few lines operating in the rery thickly populated districts on the eastern coast were able to make a little money under the new law, Many railroads were bankrupted and a very large number of roads were simply able to pay running ex penses. In the face of these facts those companies whose plans had been formed for future development continued to push out their lines into the unsettled sections of the country and were ths main factors in building up the population of the West as it is today. With this con structive and development work on the one hand, the constant harass ing of the public on the other, in its ignorant and unreasonable demands for the tearing down of the great in struments which made the western states, the railroads were compelled to take some action to protect their revenues. Consolidation of inter ests and the reduction of expenses through the decrease in forces was the natural result. These processes required time, and today we see nearing its end one of the last big combinations having this principle in view. The Union Pacific reor ganization, as predicned by the As tokian a year ago, is now almost completed. The significant facts in the case have been detailed by the recent telegrams from the East One of the last features of the new deal was consummated the other day when the reorganization committee acquired controlling interest in the Oregon Short Line. It is well known that the majority of the stock of the Oregon Short Line it owned by the Union Pacific, and that, in turn, the Short Line controls the 0. R. & N. The O. R. & N. com pany is the pet of Oregon. It was the pioneer line at the time when Eastern Oregon was a mere wilder ness and needed transportation facil ities. The state and its people will never forget the efforts of that com pany, a large portion of whose stock is now owned within the state, to build up Oregon. In the evolution of affairs J. Pierpont Morgan, the master mind in finance and rail roads today throughout the world, has almost reached the pinnacle of success. His name the world over I stands for honesty and uprightness. He is the controller of the Varukr bilt lines which extend from New York to the lilack Hills; he has ac quired control of, or a powerful in terest in, the (treat Northern, the Northern Pacific and now the Union Pacific. Associated in friendly con junction with this gigantic scheme is the Southern Pacific and Collis P. Huntington. These great transcon tinental lines, not only for protec tion from the direful results of the faults and inaccuracies of the inter state commerce act, but to success fully compete with the Canadian Pa cific railway on the north, a line which has not to observe anv of the laws of the United States, have been compelled to mobilize and consoli date. 1 Hiring me past eignteen months, without show, fuss or feathers, there has been constructed between As toria and Portland the best roadbed that modern science and unlimited capital could build. A large force of men is now at work finishing the line, which will be equipped with the heaviest of English steel rails and modern motiva power and cars. Definite information has not been given out as to where the money came came from, but cash has been paid, and not a dollar's worth of bonds issued. Private information from the most authentic sources is guarantee that this is a part and parcel of the big combination to handle traffic to the Pacific coast at a minimum of cost, and to meet the competition of the Canadian Pacific in the Orient. It is not necessary to say that Astoria has the safest, best and most commodious harbor north of San Francisco. Imagina tion can readily fill out the balance of the story. The time is rapidly approaching when the cars will be running into Astoria from the East, and it is rea sonably certain that before many years the gTain ships of the world will take their cargoes in this har bor. Just how soon this most de sirable end will be accomplished rests largely with what measure of co-operation the transcontinental roads will receive from the Astori ans themselves and their terminal railroad. The great railroads, with all their power, cannot do every thing, and cannot be expected to give up all. It is conceded that traffic arrangements have been prac tically completed with the Northern Pacific and the other principal line to be considered for the present is the O. R. & X.. which, under the able management of its new presi dent, Mr. A. L, Mohler, is rapidly increasing the wealth of the state and has entered upon a new era of prosperity for itself, This wise management can be depended upon to do what it deems to be to the best interests of all, and will no doubt be found ready and willing to treat upon reasonable terms. It re mains to be seen what terms can be had, and what measures will be tak en to meet them. MARINE NEWS. I'ATK low xm .

Astoria, Oct. 0th,-Editor Daily As torian. My attention has been called to a glaring misetatemect in your paper of Oct tb, contained in an article en titled 'The Great Nfhilem." Toward the latter part the reporter snvs: "A bi cyclist who rode ap from Tillamook conn ty the other day says that the roads there are graveled in fiue condition That county has twenty times the roads Clatsop has, and pays only one-half the amount of road tax paid here, and tha roads are 300 per cent better than Clat sop roads." The above sentence con tains three mammoth falsehoods, and such statements certainly cBn do no good, and 1 am at a loss to know why you will permit such rot to appear in your paper without the author's name is given. Clatsop county has nearly 260 mils of wagon roads, about the same as Tilla mook. I am informed by Commissioner Lewis that Tillamook county baa collect ad a five-mill road tax for the past four or five years on a timber claim owned by him in tbat eonnty and Talued higher tDan similar lands m this county. Clat sop county levied a mill road tax in 1893, a 2 mill tax in 1894, a i mill iax in 1896 and a 2 mill tax in 1896. mat " 8 a total of 6;4 mills for three years as compared to 15 mills for Tillamook county. Two-tbirds of this conntv'a val nation is in the city of Astoria, where tne road tax collected in the city and by the charter must be expended on the street crossings and roads in the city limits under the sole supervision of the city council. The people of the eonnty have been notified that the county court would make the tax levies for road nDd county purposes at this October term of the county court. So far no petition or communication has been presented, and at an adjourned meeting of the conrt to be held on the 23d, a tax levy will un case. But the disease can be CURED I have been troubled with rheumatism for several years. Have ln trv-ited by physicians and usfd many rnwlles without very much relief. I ni Induced by reading- your advertisements to buy a box of Dr. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills at the store of H. M. S-iJe & Son, and before 1t was all used I experienced great relief. I have since used three boxes, and oan say I feel completely cured. I eat veil and sleep well: to walk and work Is a pleasure tnstead of pain, svnd I owe It all to your kidney pills. JOHN J.
