OVER THE CAPITAL CITY.
Complete Recital Of the Daily DOingS Com
piled From Various Sources.
Happenings Over the City and News
From the Country Roundabout.
Salem, TlllamOok and Astoria.

Regarding the construction of q
line of rail from Salem to the sea,
the CAPITAL JOURNAL in a recent
issue said "The time is ripe for
something to be done. Let the OPP
portunity not pass unheeded. Now
is the time to act"
The Tillamook Headlight re-
marks: "That is the proper way
for progressive people to talk, and
Tillamook is ready to shake
hands and go to work with any
company who will use the proper
energy and display the proper tact
looking to the furtherance of the
scheme. Why Astoria should go to
sleep upon the eve of achieving a
victory is more than mortal can
comprehend, but it seems her die
tate is thus far and no farther
But if Salem will lend aid to the
project her future will be assured,
and after it is too late Astoria will
wake up to find that Rip Van Win
kle recognizes, not even his dog
Snyder Tillamook wants this
road, Salem needs it in her line of
business, and Astoria Could make
herself the banner shipping port Of
the North Pacific. If Astoria
wishes to give it the cold shoulder
let Salem come right along to Tilla-
nook, and we will afford and re-
cord her all privileges any sea port
town on the coast can give, besides
working hand in hand and heart to
heart with those who are ready to
further an enterprise in which there
is incalculable wealth for both ter
mini. Coin, friend Salem, and you
will find Tillamook always ready to
meet you half way"

Some Fine Specimens.

Harry Thomas, who is largely in
terested in some mining claims up
on the Santiam, is exhibiting some
fine specimens of gold taken from a
pan. He seems to think the future
of that region as a mining district is
bright. The gold is of good quality
and a careful estimate places the
number of colors to the pan at from
a hundred to a hundred and fifty.
The next few years will be full of
interest for those who have interests
on the Santiam.

Nine men were killed and six others Sc
riously injured by the explosion of a blast in
the Montana central tunnel near Helena
The tunnel is being driven from both ends,

side had heard each others movements. The
gang in one end is composed of lrlShm IN and
IN the other end of SwedeS. There has been
great rivalry between the two gangs to see
vLich would make the hole first.
Orders were given by the contractors to be
careful and put in small blasts. Just before
the night shift of Sweies quit they put IN
three dig blasts Orders had been previously
given TO drill only ten feet, but the SwedeS
drilled twenty feet. As the hole was nearly
through the Ishmen, not knowing the
Sweies had drilled so far, explode a
single cap over one of these holes,
which exploded it and set off the other
two blasts Three hundred pounds OF
giant powder stored in the vicinity was also
exploded and the result was awful. As soon
as the smoke cleared away rescuers entered
the tunnel eni found the remains of nine
men scattered all over the place, one man
being cut completely in two

On the 9th of March, 1888, that dark
winged angel Death, after lowering
over for many days, entered the home
Of Frances Humphrey, of Gap Run,
Tenn, and claimed for its own our be-
loved brother William A. Campbell,
end his freed spirit winged its flight to
that Eternal City not made with
hands, there to meet with loved ones
gone before, and to sing with angels
around the throne OF God.
He was a member of the Christian
Church, and was a servant of the
Lord. He was born June 8, 1867.
His father, John B. Campbell, died
when-William was only five years old,
but his mother, Rebecca, lived until
he was fifteen, praying as only moth
er can for her children, and teaching
him to remember his Creator in the
days of his youth.
He had been married only few
months and in his death the wife has
lost kind and affectionate husband
and the family good and affection
ate brother.
When dying he called his wife to his
bedside and said : Maggie, ! am go
ing home" andt to his sister Rhoda he
said ~ will soon be in heaven"
"0 death where is thy sting?
0, grave where is thy victory"
God knows best, and we would say
to the sorrowing friends and relatives
to think not of your loved one as being
dead, hut as sphit redeemed anc
free from all pain and sorrow here be
low.
Farewell dear brother Farewell to theel
Thy freed spirit hath taken its flight
From this sland of pain and death,
TO thathome where the Lord is Light
