THE UNION PACIFIC DIRECTORS
They Favor Railroad to Astoria.

Sometime ago The AsToRIAN stated
that the railroad survey now being
made by engineer John Hurlburt and
his cops of assistants, was for a route
for the company's extended line of
railroad to Astoria.
Such was and is the fact, and under
his experienced guidance a full corps
of surveyors are now between Port
land and this city.
This paper is now able to say authen-
tically, that the Portland directors OF
the road are also in favor OF building
the road, and they state.
The road will be built, q. necessary
adjunct the company's prosper
Gus existence, andno denials can alter
the fact.
OF course it is but natural and GUS
tomary for any one, individual or cor
poration to prosecute its plans quietly,
and let results show their intentions,
and in this case the Z. 2. has followed
the same course. But it isn't neces-
sary to wait to see their locomotives
here, to know and be able to say
with certainty, that it is now race
between three great transcontinental
railroad lines, which gets here first.
They are coming.

confined to the city. Every square
mile of the county, and considerable
of the land on the other side Of the

since last July. Sales are made of

afford a fair idea of what the prices
for the same tract will be in the future,
when the real demand for Clatsop

"Here is the natural home of the
salmon. Here they thrive in greater
abundance and of better quality than
in any waters that have ever been
discovered by man" says an article
in the Tacoma Sunday Ledger, on the
salmon of the Sound. Bosh! If the
writer of that piece Of mendacity has
been on this coast sixty hours he
has had time to find out what every
body else knows, viz: that the salmon
of the Sound, bear the same relation
TO the Columbia river salmon that
chuck beef or salt pork does to tender
loin steak. No salmon i'll any other
waters can compare in delicacy and
favor with the salmon of the COlum-
bia river.

The Deadly Wire.

New YORK, Dee. 9.-Paul Clansen
an unknown Dane employed as line
man, to-day ascended a pole at the
corner of Third avenue and One Hun.
dred aud Fifty-sixth street. Shortly
after. some children playing near by
heard a kissing noise. Looking up
they saw the lineman lying across two
electric light wires, while a blush
light shot from his right hand and
head. The police were summoned
and Thomas Smith, driver of an ex-
press wagon, volunteered for assis-
tance. The body was lassoed, but the
rope was old and it broke. A second
rope was got around the body, but all
efforts failed to break Clausen's hold
of the wire. When pulling on the
rope Smith touched Clausen's body
and received shock that knocked
him senseless. He was taken to a
liquor store and revived by stimu-
lants.
Finally a hatchet was secured and
the electric wires severed, thus break
ing the connection. Clausen's body
was then lowered to the street.
He was dead, the body smelling of
burning flesh. Clausen's body was
taken to his home, where his wife,
about to become a mother, went al
most frantic at the sight it presented.

Uuwarramted Arrest.

Among the new suits filed yesterday
with the County Clerk was that of F. l..
lockwood vs. w. L. Wakley. The
plaintiff, in his complaint, alleges that
the defendant procured from Police
Judge Stanton warrant for his arrest on
the charge of petit larceny. The war.
rant was served on MIR. lockwood at his
hotel, week ago, during the progress OF
musicale given by the proprietors
of that hostelry. Mr.. lockwood
being well known to the guests, his ar
rest gave occasion to considerable gossip,
and was discussed extensively by ali
present. He alleges that the defendant
procured his arrest at that time mali
ciously and without cause, and in order
to bring his good name into disrepute.
Plaintiff further states that he was inn
prisoned for two hours, was compelled
to give bonds for his appearance, and
upon trial was adiudged not guilty aud
discharged. His reputation and busi-
ness, he alleges, have been injured to
the extent of $4,000, and he therefore
brings action and prays for judgment in
that amount.
