ing with one of the transcentinental
roads. That there is an immense
western bound passenger list, the
largest ever known and the most of
them are going to the Sound.
"What road do you think will be
most likely to come to Astoria?"
"Well, the Chicago& Northwest
crn are pushing foEa terminus at
the sea where they fan find II good
harbor, andNAstorig has splendid
harbor and Ibelieye they intend to
connect with ns Oregon Pacific
and push down III Nehalem valley
TO Astoria" ~
ado you think Sthe@ is business
enough here for d railrdad?"
certainly there is, the railroad
itself would make business, besides
would open up the finest timber
land on the coast. Astoria is bound
to have road at no distant day"
The following is from the Astorian:
The committee appointed by the
board of trade to consider the mat
ter Of railroad to Tillamook and
Astoria have decided to ask the peo-
pie of Salem, McMinnville and
other points interested, for n small
contribution to make preliminary
survey or examination of the pro-
posed route. A few things need to
be known before stock books can be
and competent engineer
should be employed TO make the
necessary Investigation, Astoria is
the one great seaport on the Oregon
coast, and the Willamette valley
must have railroad to that port.
II will never be built unless some
body begins, and this committee has
decided ON the right plan.

HE DROPPED SUDDENLY DEAD.
4 Guest at the Cook House Dies While
Eating His Dinner.


G. w. Hagan, an old gentleman
who has been in Salem at short in
tervals during the past few months,
dropped suddenly dead to-day while
partaking of the noon day meal.
The old gentleman is about sixty
years Of age, and has been ailing
since registering at the hotel yester-
day morning. All day yesterday he
was drowsy and unwell, and spent
most Of the time lying on the sofa in
the office. This morning he passed
in the same way, until dinner was
announced, when he walked into the
dining room, sat down to the
table and made his order. He
had not sat there long before his
head dropped to one side, his hands
fell to his side, and his CLASSY eyes
rolled in their sockets. He was at
once removed to a coo and expired
after very few moments, without
uttering word or re9aining con.
sciousne 9. The exact hour Of his
death was 1920.
But little is known Of the old gem
tleman, as he was vfIy reserved and
had but little to say to anyone. He
registered first at the Cook house on
December 2sth, vt. At that time
he came in as> ifffrom work, with
a gun aud new axe handle. He
said he had frSnas in the hills
south of Salem atd tlfd he former
ly resided east ofithe mountains. He
used to drop in the same way at the
Chelnekete and stay II few days. He
was here in January also, and dur
Ing March he was in Salem for
week or so.
When he died he had Il small
via. of medicine in his pocket,
given by the prescription Of DR..
McAfee.
The old gentleman had in his
purse $5.35 coin, and two certificates
Of deposit. One was dated August |
II, 1883, and was on the Capital
Dank for the sum of $40. This
he drew seven weeks ago.
The other was on the First National
If Princville for $50 He is recog-
Iizcd as having worked during the
,ast year for James Stanley, on his
farm, south of Salem.
