To the Editor

To the Editor
1t has been intlmated that the prop
Usltion to have the city build the bridge
across Young's Bay is a move by the
Seaside Railroad Company to get into
the city with their road without having
to build the bridge themselves. Such
Is not the case. 1t was first suggested
by a person wholly disconnected there.
from. Neither the party suggesting
it, nor the writer hereof, is in any
way whatever interested in the Seaside
Railroad Company; nor is either OF
them related by blood or marriage to
any person who is Interested in that
road.
Furthermore, I am informed, upon
good authority, that the moving spir-
its 1t said company are Of the opinion
than an entrance into the city will be
of no particular benefit, financially, to
that road. I believe in this they err
in judgment; but 1 am simply relating
what 1 believe to be facts. The Sea,
side Railroad Company may need the
bridge very much; but 1t doesn't need
1t half so much as this city.
1t is also argued by some, that i'll
We get the Gobel road built, the COM
pany building it will buy the Seaside
road, and then construct the Youngs
Bay bridge themselves. Possibly so;
but railroad bridge is not all we
want. We want a bridge that will
accommodate all kinds of traffic. |
AS between bridge for railroad pur,
poses alone, and a bridge for teams
and foot passengers alone, the latter
would be of greater value to Astoria.
Let u.s. therefore, have a bridge con-
ferring the facilities for all kinds of
traffic.
L can conceive of but one valid OBJ
lection to the building of such a
bridge, with good wagon road from
its west end to the ocean beach. 1t is
this: The condition of things would be
so changed, by the stir which would
follow, that we mossbacks would feel
out Of place, and we would have to
move on, without any place to move to
in this world
1 regret, Mr.. Editor, that more of our
citizens do not show enough interest in
this very important project to discuss
1t through your columns. 1t is worthy
of the attention and thoughtful consld-
GRAFTON of every person interested in I
the future growth and development of
our city and its surroundings. A dis,
position to evidence our own apprecia-
tion Of our resources, by an attempt,
at least, to develop some of them, would
appeal more strongly to the hard sense G
Of railroad builders than all the talk c
Of our subsidy committee as able and =
1lligent as they have unquestionably q
shown themselves to be- il

dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all it's stages, and that
is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure known to the med

treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is TAX

ADDITIONAL RUMORS.

Editor Astorian:-
1t is rumored about town that the
express coumany brought $500, 900 to the
city Sunday morning, all of which Is
to be forthwith expended in the con-
struotion of the Gobel road. That is
nearly $500 apiece for each of our in.
habitants. Let's divide now and build
the railroad afterwards.
o.
1t is rumored about town that the
Seashore Road Company is at the bot
tom of the move to get the city to
build the Young's Bay bridge. Well!
Supposing it is? it is just as good a
proposition as if it originated with
some one else. 1t is the bridge we
want, and it makes no difference who
proposed the plan Of getting it.
o.
1t is rumored that some OF our citi-
zens find fault with the water com.
mission because they do not spend the
money under their control faster. 1t
is also rumored in this connection, that
those who find the most fault are neith-
er taxpayers, nor water-consumers
Possibly they prefer beer, and that is
the reason they want the money spent.
The More money the more beer.
o
1t is rumored that the railroad com,
mittee cannot agree among themselves
as to how they will divide that
$SO0,00O and that owing to that fact, we
are likely to have no railroad It is
wonderful what small things influence
the decisions of mankind in matters of
grave Importance. 1t is also rumored
that one of the committee has said in
public, that Mr.. Stanton had employed
and paid certain members of the COM
mittee to work and talk for him. III
that is so Nj. Stanton is a very naugh-
ty man, but what shall we say about
members of the committee who will
do such thing. after having accepted
trust of so much Importance at the
hands of this community. It looks as

Warrenton, Or, Nov. 10, 1894
Editor Astorian:-
The farmers on this side of Young's
Bay are delighted with the prospect
that the city limits of Astoria are to
join the Course of Empire" and
westward take their flight. What a
blessing Astoria city government would
be to the people of Warrenton and
Flavel, and incidentally what a privi-
lege to pay for the same. But while
we are a getting, let's get a plenty
We should include Clatsop Plains and
Seaside. The clam industry needs reg.
ulating, and there is property at Sea-
side which could be made to contribute
literally to the city treasury.
If there should be any opposition to
the scheme, the people of John Days
and Walluski-provided they are not
too busy trying to get out of the city
could undoubtedly tell us how truly
nice to live in the city.

would be corrected"
The report says that Mr.. Foard's ac'
counts are correct and checked up with
receipts and cancelled warrants filed
also in effect says that by reason Of
not putting the date when received on
warrants that were paid to him, there
was an opportunity for the county to
ray interest on warrants after they
fad been first received Also one or two
other small matters that Mr.. Foard
said he wished that the experts had put
down the amounts referred to. The
report also says, mo apparent fraud
has been attempted, however," and l
hope other ex-officials will be able to
show as clear a record as Martin
Foard. The county clerk allowed the
editor Of the Astorian to have the re-
port one evening, with the understand
ing that 1t would be returned the fol-
lowing morning, and as it was called
for before it was returned, he sent af.
ter It, I told Mr.. Foard that the re-
port was on file and was public prop
erty; that when the county court met
again, If the experts who made the
report saw fit to qualify their report,
the court could act upon it.
The experts took an oath to perform
their duty before they began their
work, and 1 am fully satisfied that
when they have finished some parties
who are now trying to make a noun
tain out of mole hill will be hustling
to get from under their own mountain.
