mote the settlement Of a productive
country, which needs only railroad IA
cilities to raise in abundance and profit
ably. hops, fruits and vegetables. Dairy
ing would likewise flourinsh and would
add largely to thu business of the steel
highway. This route would likewise
enable the Union Pacific railroad to
construct its track with equal facility
to Astoria and the Flavel peninsula,
while eventually the track might be
so extended as to meet the San Fran
and North Pacific railroad in it's
advance northward along the Cali
frnia and oregon coasts.
In adopting this route, the Union Pa
cihc could turn to account the sur
veys that have been made in the Ne
halem valley as we'll as the grade and

would keep clear Of the Southern Pa
cinc territory at Hillsboro and would
not be in the way Of any extension
which that company may make in that
The third route is that which the AS
toria and Eastern intended to build
either to Hillsboro, where 1t would meet
the Southern Pacific or in the direction
Of Oswego. From a general point Of
view, there are no drawbacks to this
route, but 1t is obviously not as well
for the Union Pacific as the
,ne by st. Helens, which gives the COM
,any much undisputed territory and is
invested with great possibilities.

Attempt at Suicide.
It Might Have Been Prevented.
from the Boston POST


While the walks in the Public Garden
we're crowded yesterday afternoon about
4.30 o'clock, people near the entrance gates
1t the corner of Beacon and Charles streets
we're Mortified to see a man suddenly plunge
a knife repeatedly into his throat and fall to
the ground.
While waiting for a conveyance an officer
questioned the would-be suicide, who was
about so years of age, as to his name, address,
and reason for wishing to end his life, but
the man steadfastly refused to give any infor-
nation regarding himself. He was taken TO
The Massachusetts General Hospital and
surgical attendance given him. Although
weak from loss of blood it is probable he
will recover. About 8 o'clock last night q
hospital attendant got q little information
from him. He said his name was Samuel
D., and that he came some weeks ago
from New Brunswick. The last few days
his head has felt queer, and he has been wan
dering about the city, not knowing which way
to turn. What impelled him to commit his
rash act he was unable to say.
The above is the familiar but terrible
story of the results of mental arrangement
caused by overstrain of the nervous system.
People who have dizziness, headache or back
ache, or who are troubled with melancholy or
respondent feelings, are already we'll on the
road which leads to insanity and suicide.

RAILROAD ROUTES TO ASTORIA.

There are three routes by which the
Union Pacific may build to Astoria
the Goble, the st. Helens, and the Hills
boro. Railroad men express opinions on
the merits and dement's Of each. We
shall give briefly what is said Of each,
not all that is said, for that would ex-
coed the limits OF this article. The
Coble or river route has been regarded
with favor because the grades are
easy and the path straight, or nearly
30. The Northern Pacific track from
Goble to Portland covers nearly half
the way. and is in all respects satisfac-
tory. Surveys and general observations
indicate that the track might be ell
tended with like satisfaction SO far us
traffic facilities are concerned. There
are no hills nor mountains in the way.
No wide rivers nor streams would re-
tard construction or add to its expense.
The track would find easy entrance to
the city and could be extended without
difficulty to Flavel or to meet the Cal
ifornia North Shore railroad when in
due course that is extended along the
Oregon coast to the mouth of the Co
lumbia. It is urged on the other hand
that this route Is best adapted for the
Northern Pacific. which already owns
the track from Portland to Goble where
It's railroad ferry connects the road
with Kalama, whence there is unbroken
connection with the main line Of the
system. If the Union Pacific were to
build from Portland to Astoria along
the river, its track would parallel that
Of the Northern Pacific to Goble, II
is never desirable to compete In this
way with a rival line. In this instance,
the disadvantage to the Union Pacific
would be still greater In case the North
ern Pacific extended its own track to
Astoria. Then for upwards OF 100 miles
would be seen two railroads competing |
for passenger and freight traffic with
steamboats, which would endeavor &c
take all they could from both. More
over. 1t is urged that the local business
on the Goble route would be light, The
track from Portland to Goble has not
developed much way traffic, nor Is there
much to be expected from the country |
between that place and Astoria until
the lumber business regains some OF
its old time prosperity. 1t Is observed
that the Northern and the Union Pa
clnc might operate a single railroad
from Portland to Astoria on a joint
ownership basis, but such agreements
seldom work we'll and In this instance
is practically out OF the question.
The st. Helens route has not received
much attention, but 1t undoubtedly has
merits and may find favor In the eyes
of the Union Pacific. II this route is
adopted. the Union Pacific would build
along or near the south shore of the
Columbia from Portland to st, Helens
IA distance Of 81 miles. From st.
Helens the track would be constructed
to vernonia. and thence by the Neha-
lem and Lewis and Clarke route to
Astoria. This route would place the
Union Pacific in a good position to cross
the Columbia by bridge or ferry with
the purpose OF building to the Sound,
whenever the development Of that re-
slon would warrant It in doing so. 1t
