Tub Other End. While we are build ing a road towards Astoria from Albany, it will be inteiesting to note the condition at the other end of the road. Here it is from an Astoria Ex. : "Some of those who subscribed for stock in the A. & 8. C. rail road, would like to know when the com pany are going to begin operations. If the road is to be completed by July i, it is time work was commenced. Subscribers begin to want to see something for money. If it is not going to be built this year they say they want to know it. The Pioneer has been informed that nothing can be done until the right of way is secured, as some of Clatsop county's enterprising citizens object to giving a right of way where the company wants it. If the road can't be built this year there is no use to pay salar ied officers the whole amount that has been subscribed. The salaries will soon use up the $75,000." A Reception. A very enjoyable affair was the reception tendered Rev. Rogers, the new Congregational minister, at the church last evening. Besides a large num ber of church members,therc were present friends from outside and Revs. Trumbull, Webb, I'richard, Condit, Burchet and Ir vine. After a season of social conversation there wa singing by an Impromptu choir. Rev. S. G. Irvine then on behalf of the church, citizens and city pastors, delivered a very hearty address of welcome, happily responded to by Rev. Rogers, who already felt at home among our people. Prof. Lee , was heard in a finely executed organ solo and Mrs. Cochrane in a vocal soto. She is one of our pleasantest singers and fills a listeners heart with melody. Some choir singing, a very palatable spread, games, etc., filled the remainder of the evening. Business Changes. Crossen & Paisley, that sounds well. It is the name of a fur niture firm here just established between D. L. Crossen and Mr. Paisley, who have bought out J. C. Dillon's retail basiness.
