gressional aid to all Oregon coast

part of the argument, viz: that sue

FROM A FORMER RAILROAD PREsI-
DENT.

1HE following letter 10 the chamber
OF commerce of this city from the
former president OF the Oregon Cen
trail Railroad company, viii be read
with interest by all. Mr.. CASTOR in
the years 1868, 1869 and 1870 was an
indefatigable worker TO further the
interests he represented. 1t was his
influence that largely induced con-
gress to make the land grant that
now, thirteen years after. the people
of this and adjoining counties seek to
have revert to its rightful owners.
In signing the petition for the for
feiture Of the grant, Mr.. CASTOR writes
as follows:
GAsToN, Or, Dec. I, 1888.
| was president Of the Oregon Cen
tral Railroad company at the time
congress made the grant referred to
IN the above petition, and presented
the matter before committees of the
senate and house of representatives.
And while the lands were then needed
to secure the construction OF the
road, the circumstances OF this coun-
try have been so changed since that the
grant is, in the hands of its present
owners, an obstruction TO the con-
struction of a railroad to Astoria and
the development of the country. For,
il the gr ant was forfeited. the coun-
try would be at once rapidly settled
up, and other railroad companies
would build a narrow guage railroad,
If not a more expensive line.
(Signed) JOSEPH GASTON.
In the above Mr.. CASTOR strikes
at the gist of the matter where he
says, IF the grant was forfeited the
country would be at once rapidly set
tied up" In this he reiterates what
The AsToRIAN has stated and repeat
edly demonstrated, viz the necessity
OF the removal OF the grant to en-
courage immigration by dispelling
the cloud that rests upon the title.
To make Astoria the city IT should
be, to rid ourselves Of the necessity
OF importing what we want from Cali
fornia, to create a class of permanent
suppliers producers and purchasers,
to build up a great and prosperous
city at the mouth OF the Columbia.
something more than territory is
needed We have a grand scope of
country to the south and east: IN
equaled in richness of soil. multipli-
city of resources. and contiguity to
an ever widening market, but of the
thousands that have during the past
twelve months entered the
Columbia gateway in search OF
homes in this new northwest,
how many have remained? not one in
ten thousand. Not because we lack
the elements that go to make a home,
but because we could not demonstrate
1t. No man cares to labor unless
with reasonable assurance that his
toll shall be rewarded with success,
and if vague and shadowy title COW
ers, like the tentacles of an octopus
the fairest portions of Clatsop and
Columbia counties, who can blame
the sturdy and the stalwart, the
sinewy founders OF new homes to
press eastward from our shores. In
search of that heritage denied to
them at its entrance!
We commend Mr.. Gaston's letter TO
the consideration of our readers, and
shall take fitting measures to give il
wide circulation. 1t is written with
consideration of the subject, knowl-
edge OF its workings, and in the in
terests of his fellow dwellers in this

A Hotel Clerk Comes to Grief.
Hotel Reporter,

Hotel Reporter
Some of the boys put up job on a
Cincinnati hotel clerk not long ago. A
lady had registered during the day and
was assigned room. One of the boys
know her, and knew also that her hus.
band would come in on late train, so
he told the others and they met the
husband at the train, took him to the
hotel, and sent him to his wifc's room
without letting the clerk see him.
About half past IL o'clock, while the
crowd was in the Office, the watchman
came down, and, after whispered con-
ference with the clerk in which could
be heard something about man in PA,
the clerk and watchman skipped up
stairs. The boys followed and got with
in hearing distance. Just as they reach
ed the door they heard the following
LISTEN said the watchman; "hear
his voice?"
That's so; a man as sure as the world;

lady, too" said the clerk.
"You can't tell" said the watchnan;
II look mighty close at them kind"
"Well, we can't have it, and III throw
her outl"
And he knocked at the door. All was
still. Then another knock.
"Who's there?" said woman's voice.
"lt's me, the clerk" was the ungram-
matical reply.

"Well, that's What the rows about,
and he's got to come out or I'll kick the
door down. This is respectable hotel,
and We won't stand any such perf,r-

Then the door opened and man ap-

asked.

time of night" asked the clerk
"Pm getting ready to go to bed"
"But you won't do it in this hotel.
Both of you get up p. d. q, or I'll call a
police"
"All right. Call your police. If a
man and his wife can't stop peaceable
at hotel, it's time the police were
cleaning the place out"
what's that? Are you her husband?'
"Why, you blamed fool, did you think
| wasn't?"
Then there was a guilaw at the other
end of the hall, and the clerk looked up
in time to see six coattails disappearing
around the corner, and when he got
down to the office the boys were wait
ing for him to "set en up" and he did.
