An ERA OF X. X. BULDISG.-Thisis is 1
great era for baildlng railroads, and though
some of the plans on paper sound big they
really are only forecast of wha, will /
some day take place. Our Astoria road is
now an assured fact, and here is al ar
rangement Tor another one BY the va
quiha Republican For months Salem
and Albany have been discussing and
planning a railroad ,o Astoria says the va
quina Republican. The indications now
point to an early construction Of road
from Albany to astoria. This would give
the people Of the latter city direct eonnec-
ton to the east and south at Albany. To
the east via the Oregon Pacific and to the
south by the Southern Pacific. It will be /
Of greater advantage to Astoria than to /
Albary,as Albany now has by the Oregon /
Pacific, shorter and cheaper route TO the 4
ocean NJ Yaquina. Salem has no direct i
line 70 seaport except the inland port at
Portland and therefore no competition. /
The most feasible route for the capitol /
eity,-shorter, more easily constructed, and /
a rearer point to San Franciscs--ls to build |
a road through Kings valley down the !
Sielz 10 Newport, tapping the Astoria &
Albany road and tho West Side system Of
the Southern Pacific.

A Chimes pheasant had wandered into the
city, aud Becoming frightened at some
real estate men sought refuge even in the
home of a ssuill manipulation.
A ROMANTIC IrEM.-About two years
ago young man came here, says the As
