Large Number of Men Employed.

A large amount of work is now be-
ing done in the way of railroad con-
struction in this county. Along the
line of the Astoria and South Coast
railroad a scene of activity presents
itself which is gratifying to those who
look forward with pleasurable antici-
patton to the day when the shrill whis-
tie of the locomotive will be heard as
the broad gauge transcontinental
train comes sweeping into Astoria.
On the Lewis and Clarke division
from Clatsop City II miles southeast.
there are now upwards of 400 men en-
ployed in, what is at present. con-
sidered the heaviest work on the road.
Yesterday 400 additional men were
employed, and Will be taken out to
the work to-day.
On the Hillsboro division con.
tractor Ewing has about 200 men en-
ployed. Under Mr. Thielsen there
are about 20 men at work LAYING
track, surfacing, pile-driving, etc.
The intention is to put an additional
1000 men at work on the Lewis and
Clarke division as soon as they can
be procured, to facilitate the work of
grading and clearing and building
trestle work. These additional thous-
and men will be put to work getting
ready for the approach to the tunnel
at Saddle Mountain, work on which
VIII be begun about the 1st of Febru-
ary, 1890.

THE BRIDGE ACROSS YOUNG's BAY.
1t will be Built in Spite of IDiunctiOns.

As the people of Astoria naturally
look to The Historian for the news, it is
with pleasure it states that the machi-
nations OF enemies of the Astoria and
South Coast railroad have failed, and
that the bridge across Young's bay
will be built and completed by April
1st, 1890
The railroad company has two fran
chises: one from the federal govern
ment, through congress, and one from
the state, through the legislature.
Lying wholly within state bOunda-
ries, the commonwealth of Oregon
has original jurisdiction over the was
ters Of Young's bay, and the franchise
granted to the company the right to
build the bridge, unaffected by any
complex technicalities of jurisdiction.
This right is further within the
power of the company to transfer.
This, the directors propose to do.
The franchise will be transferred I'M
der certain conditions, wholly satisfac-
tory to the company, in which its it,
terests are fully assured, to the
Young's Bay Bridge company, which
latter company will take the contract
and have the bridge completed by the
lst of next April.
In less than twenty days, there will
be two thousand men at work along
the line of the road, and in addition
there will be large force of bridge
builders at work on the bridge that
will span the strip of water between
Astoria and the coast.

Naming the Town of Almira.

Almira is a new and thriving town
this side of Wilbur, on the line of the
Central Washington railroad. While
the location of the road was being
made Engineer II. J. Huson and
Attorney James Ashton went along
to treat for right-of-way and town
sites. At the present location of Al
mira they found a store presided
over by Mr.. Davis and his attractive
wife. Mr.. Huson decided upon the
place for station, but he could get
no concessions from Davis. Finally
Mrs. Davis was approached and en-
listed in the cause of the company's Of
ficials, and through her efforts of per-
suasion the required arrangements
were made. When it came to the
signing of the deed of conveyance
Mrs. Davis wrote in round and hand
some characters, Almira 2. Dav.
is. Upon glancing at the sig
nature Mr.. Ashton spoke I'D
and said: 'Huson, Almira is
pretty name for the town Site" Just
the thing~ answered the vigorous
engineer, and then and there it was so
christened.- Yakima Herald.

GREAT SCISSORS.

She went round and asked subscriptions
For the heathen black Egyptians
And the Terra del Fuegans.
She did;
For the tribes round Athabasca,
And the men of Madagascar,
And the poor souls of Alaska,
So she did.
She longed, she said, to buy
jelly cake and jam and pie
For the AnthropophHgi.
So she did.
How she loved the cold Norwegian,
And the poor, half melted Feeiian,
And the dear Malacca Islander,
She did.
She sent tins of red tomato
TO the tribes beyond the equator,
But her husband ate potato,
So he did.

My voice falters as l sing
Tied his clothes up with a string.
Yes, he did.

What significance has the name of
'Meriwether Downs which you have
given to your addition recently plat

Mr.. S. d. Adair, yesterday. "Well,'
said he, 'it has this significance. The
Lewis who, with Clarke, came out
here in 1903, was named Meriwether.
He it was who named Lewis and
Clarke's river. Lieut.. Clarke called
what is now Young's bay, 'Meri-
wether bay When our family first
came here, in 1S49. it was stil called
'Meriwether' bay, but the old name
has been discarded for that OF YounC's
bay. With a desire to perpetuate
that name, have called this addition
'Meriwether Downs But where
comes in the "Downs:" THAT, also, has
its significance" said he. 1T is not a
woods nor a wild, but what is called
IN England. a downs as the South
downs, the Cotswold downs, etc" The
name, therefore, has a special appro-
