PIERCING oKEGoN.o
The Southern Pacific Into the
North Pacific State.

ASTORIA, Or, Sept. &C. P. Hunt
ington. president of the Southern Pa
cific Railroad company, has purchased
the Astoria & South Coast railway. The
sale was made to r. Koehler and ]. C.
Stubbs, who acted as agents for Hunt
ington. The consideration is s54 0oo
Just what the Southern Pacific pro
poses to do has not been diyulged. Il
is likely, however, that the company
VIII at once construct bridge across
the river and run trains into Astoria di-
rect. The purchase demonstrates
the active interest the Southern Pacific
has in the railroad situation, and will
doubtless compel the Union Pacific to
show IFS hand.

the social body. Their religion emphasizes
those Obligations, and provides motives and
forces TO fulfil them. They owe to the state
and to society to make known to them from

which viii cement together the several parts
OF the social structure, and bring into CO.
operation with them the Christian church, so
