APPARENTLY SLOW WORK,

A visit to the western end of the
proposed railroad bridge across
Young's bay shows a very unsatis-
factory state of affairs to an Astorian
who has done. considerable talking
for this project and who wants to see
the road built during the present
century.
The writer doesn't understand that
this bridge is being built for poster
ity: he wants in his own day and gen
Grafton to have it completed, and
though he is at present in the prime
of early manhood it looks to him at
the present rate of progression as if
his boys would get more fun out of
that bridge than he will
The contractor wants to get move
on him. Splendid weather Is passing
by: about twenty piles have been driv-
en-; there Is Just start made, and no
more. The contractor appears to be
a we'll meaning sort of a man, but
good intentions, while they may pave
the way to sheol, will never build
bridge across Youngs bay unless
backed by little executive ability
The contractor ought 10 wdle mp.

large, but it wants more motive pow.

along the line wouldn't be amiss.
The time for fooing is gone by.

stand in the door all summer.

They tell a pretty hard story on
you over in Seattle" said Mr.. +. E.
Russell, of Chicago, yesterday, on his
return from that lively and future
great city" "a great man had a
dream in which he made a tour of
sheol Lucifer, here, was showing
the visitor the sights, when they came
upon a number of inmates paving up
the ground with both hands and feet,
scraping little heaps of earth together.
Upon inquiring who they were the
old boy said they were Seattle real
estate agents. Soon a long row of
cages was reached, in each of which a
captive was chained so they could not
see one another. "What are these?"
asked the visitor.

EXOrbitant Rates.

BlakeIy Hall, writing of the ex-
pense of living in Paris during the
exposition, says:
If one frequents the best hotels,
as Americans invariably do, and lives
at the restaurants he will find that
his breakfast will average about So.
his dinner Sc, his late supper So, and
single room, with coffee, candles,
bath and attendants will come mighty
near So day. In fact he will have
to pay about $40 day before he be-
gins to spend any money"
And this writer adds, in illustration
of the way the overcharging is done.
that he, with one friend, visited a GER
tain modest restaurant before the ex-
position opened and paid $1.1O for
breakfast. They visited the same res
taurant a week after the exposition
opened, ordered precisely the same
breakfast. by way of test tgiving the
order in English), and this time were
charged $500 and had to pay it.

A Good BUSINESS For Astoria

Six schooners loading lumber, four
here and two at Knappton two of the
six for Sydney, calls up the idea that
there is considerable money in the
lumber business, for Astoria. The
canning industry necessitates sending
a great deal OF money away, material
must be bought, and even a good dea!
of what is paid out for labQ: goes
away, while in the lumber business
nearly all the money received for a
cargo is paid out to store keepers and
employees here, and the residual profit
put in the pockets of permanent resi-
dents. Few businesses are better for
town than the lumber business, and
few places in North America are bet
ter situated for the lumber business
than Astoria,

swell, what's the news about the
railroad?" is asked a good many times
a day. There are lots of rumors but
no definitely authenticated news, ex-
cept one little item which is to the
effect that a Chinese contractor named
81 Get has contract signed by VIM.
Reid, president Of the road, to put one
hundred Cinnamon shoveling sand
and grading on the extension from
the original line. They are going to
begin next Monday. With them go
axmen, ETC., and it may be that Mr.
Reid's statement that he would have
300 men at work on the road in Au-
gust will come to pass. 1t is also
said that terminal facilities have been
secured by purchase in this city, but
as to that nothing definite is as yet
learned, and it is no use in publishing
uncertain rumors.

they went, and licked up everything.
