FROM PORTLAND 10 ASTORIA.
The Preliminary Survey for a Line Of
Railroad to Join the Two Cities.

The preliminary survey will be com
menced next week by Mr.. John Hui
burt, the well known railroad en-.
gineer for a railroad from Portland tc
Astoria. says the st. Helens Mist. Mr.
Hulburt has instructions to examine
all the feasible routes, and recommend
the best one found. He will accord
|ingly make a survey of the three
routes through this county: The one
running west from Portland and
across the divide to the Nehalem
would follow that river down to a
point where route can be had to AS
toTia.
The other two routes would both
leave Portland and follow down the
Willamette river and slough to Soap
poose, where one route would be by
way of the foot hills to Milton creek,
and up that stream to the Clatskanie,
and down that stream to the Colum.
bia at Westport, where the Columbia
would be followed to Astoria. The
other route from Seappoose would
follow down the river to Goble creek.
and up that stream a short distance,
and across to the Beaver; thence down
that creek to near the town of Clat-
skanie, where it would pass through
a low divide to the Clatskanie, and
down that stream by way of Marsh
land and Westport to Astoria. Which
route will be the one he will choose is
unknown, but it is probable that the
Clatskanie or Beaver route will fill
the requirements nearer than any
other, as this company does not wish
to parallel the Columbia all the way,
or another railroad.
The survey is being made for the
Union Pacific Railroad company, and
that means that the road will be built
at no distant day. The building
of this railroad through Columbia
county will bring a boom of solid
development to the county that
viii surprise the most sanguine
boomer. Mr.. Hurlburt, who will
make the survey, is one of the most ex-
perienced surveyors on the coast. and
has been In the employ of the Union
Pacific and OR. & N. companies for
over twenty years, and has been con-
nected with most of the Union Pacific
surveys made throughout Nebraska,
Colorado, Wyoming and the other ter
ritories, and made the survey for Hol-
laday for his railroad to Astoria
through the Nehalem in 1871. He is
thoroughly familiar with the topogra-
ply of the country to be passed
through, and will find route if one
is to be had

The Lost Tug Fearless. -

SAN FRANoIsco, Nov. 22.-A. w.
Selton arrived here yesterday from
Coos bay. He saw the wreck of the
Fearless at the mouth of the Umpqua,
Thursday afternoon. The action OF
the inspector of hulls in allowing the
tug to 60 to sea is very generally con-
demned by the people of Gardiner and
vicinity, as the fact that she was not
seaworthy was notorious. The in
spector had forbidden her to go to sea,
but afterward countermanded the
order, and thus caused the death of
at least nine persons. One-hah OF the
hull is lying in the mud half mile
below Gardiner, while the stern, with
the name 1t, Aoated half a mile
above. 1t is the general impression
that the tug sprung a leak and Cap
tain Hill was endeavoring to get to
Umpqua for safety, as he had no other
business there and was within twenty
miles of her destination, Coos bay.
Captain Hill was in command of a tug
named the Fearless which was
wrecked at the mouth OF Coos bay
some eighteen years ago and saved
the lives OF his crew by tying line
around his waist and swimming ashore
with IL.

TALKS RIGHT OUT.
And Says What Everybody Knows Is So.

When Astoria gets Union Pacific
line from Portland to Astoria she will
give this city a hard rub as a port, and
every well informed Portlander knows
it. This accounts in part, if not in
whole, for the effort being put forth
by opposition roads now centering
here, personal influence and the weight
of capital to induce the Union Pacific
to make some lesser point for ter
minal along the Columbia. We are
all more or less selfish, but when bust.
ness interests are at stake, involving
the detraction of millions annually,
the aggregate selfishness of the whole
amounts to gross hoggishness. 1t is
the old spirit OF "rule or ruin" One
city, even though it be on hill, can
not make state. Instead of under.
handed rivalry and one pull against
the other, The Journal would rather
see it, ''all pull together to make
Portland, Astoria or any other partic.
ular town or city, but the great state
of Oregon. Journal, %.

Now is the time to buy Astoria real
estate. When the values do begin to
rise good many will be wishing
they'd got in. This thing hasn't
started yet. Property is way down,
cheap. Anywhere on the peninsu la
one can't make mistake in investing.
Some say, SWELL, you can't get in:
people that own property won't let
CO." In two or three cases this is so,
but If you have the coin and talk bust
ness there are few localities where you
can't get in. a thing is generally
worth what it will fetch. It would,
probably, be better If some of our
prominent property holders didn't
have 90 tenacious a grip, but Astoria
is no worse off in that regard than
other places: Portland, Seattle, Spo-
kane Falls, and Tacoma all complain
the same way: Tacoma and Spokane
Falls are least hampered with the men
that won't do anything but obstruct
and hold back, and they are the places
that are going ahead the fastest.
Meanwhile don't neglect to put a few
dollars IN Astoria real estate. 1t will
be big thing for you in the near fu-
ture. There is no "boom" about this:
it is the straight goods.

1T Is A PITY THAT HE DRINKS"
What Great Things He'd Do II He Didn't.

Several years ago, when the writer
was younger than he is now, and
knew more, his attention used
to be directed at various times
to the fantastic vagaries of fellow-citi-
zens who had been drinking other
peoples health, until their own had
become temporarily disturbed.

"Just look at so-and-soI He's got

anything, if he'd Just leave whisky

Another time it would be: Have
you seen - to-day? He was on a
regular toot last night. Its con-
demned shame that mans friends
can't keep him straight. There isn't
better doctor in the state, when he's
himself. It's pity he drinks"

On another occasion a bevy OF jovial
inebriates would be pointed out to him,
each and several alleged to be bright
particular stars in some pursuit; from
conveying dismembered intestines to
Bruin, up to guiding the ship of state
If they only didn't drink.
1t seemed to him as though he was
surrounded by a glittering galaxy of
talent in every walk and branch of
life; and that nothing but enforced So
briefly was necessary to produce prod
igies, intellectual and otherwise.
Finally, impressed with this idea, he
became the guide and guardian angel
of the brightest of the lot, sobered
him, kept him sober, and humored him
but there was nothing in the fellow,
drunk or sober. Another was expert

other, till it appeared that the general
verdict was mistaken one, and that
it was not q condition, but theory

It's oftener a mistake than truth
But not always so.


But not always so.
Time and again brilliant brains,
skillful fingers, bright minds, have
been benumbed by alcohol and the
best gifts of nature have been lavishly
destroyed by intemperance. OF such
a man, it can, with sad truth, be said,
in all regretful sincerity that it is in
deed, "a pity he drinks"
But the common, ordinary hummer,
who never gave evidence of any abili.
ty doesen't deserve TO have it said of
him that 1T Is Il pity he drinks" for
any apparent reason that the world is
missing anything by bis not drink
ing.
He is really ahead. for simply by be-
ing lush three -fourths of the time he
secures reputation for smartness
that he could not sustain
nor continue to have, if he
staid sober long enough to do any of
those smart things he is credited with
being able to do.
The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1889-11-24

Later years have con firmed the ex-
perience. 1t is SO easy to establish q
supposed reputation for general smart
ness, on the gratuitous supposition
OF what man could do If he didn't
drink. He may be the most mediocre
OF mortals; he may not have sense
enough to go in when it rains; but,
with certain class all he has to do is
to put an enemy in his mouth to steal
away his modicum of brains and
straightway it is said and sung what a
transcendent genius he would be if he
didn't drink. The pitiful part of it is
that after a while he gets to believing
it himself; he thinks, naturally, that
what everybody says must be true,
and then becomes one of those 'un-
appreciated" people; he joins the army
Of those who feel they "haven't been
treated right" he imagines that "peo-
pie are down on him." and thinks in
his maudlin way, that If he only had a
show he'd be away up among the
good players.
