KM EXTENSION Oi' THE ASTORIA RAILROAD. With It Astoria Would Heconio a DU trllnitlng Point for S00.0" Acres of Pino Timber Lund. VKUNONIA, Columbia county. Ore.. Jan. H. 1MW. Editor Astorlan: In a late OroKonlun appears a little diagram and an article designating a short route from tha present terminus of the Astoria & So&eido Railroad, through a newly dls. covered and suurt route, to tho Nehalem river from Seaside. The lutter place, by government map, la situated In section 29, T. ( N., R, 10 W., about 16 miles south of Astoria. The suggestion is that the north fork of tho Nohalom river can be reached and followed south to Its Junc tion with the main river In T. J N.. H. 10 V.. (about IS miles south of Seaside) and a few ratios northeast of Nehalem Hay. This point on the Nehalem is near tho line surveyed tor the Astoria and South Coat Railroad a few year lnce, and near the only pas and Inlet Into the Tillamook oountry. The building of about 15 mllea mora of road, It teems, is all that Is necessary to complete railroad connection betweon Astoria and the No. halam valley. The first question presenting Itself Is, will tho results of such an undertaking (costing J2.-.0.WO or $300,000) Justify uch an outlay of capital? In my Juugmmt there is no part of tho Paclflo coast whero so small an outlay for railroad building will bring more sat. Isfactory result than this one. In the first place, 1500,000 has been expended to build to Seaside, which, up to thla time, I utterly profitless for eight month In very rear, and will continue io until extended to reach some freight producing vlcmlty.
