ed voices Of this famous vocal or
ganiza ton, ''every man an artist"
soon filled the air and re-echoed
through the pines. rivalling in ef-
feet q mammoth Eolian harp. The
jovial host. Mr.. Paul Schneider.

uous in their attentions. and care
fully looked after the comfort of
their guests, and nothing was left
undone that could add to their |

The Town Hall stage should be
enlarged. This could easily be
done by building dressing Rooms
back of the stage; and removing
the present ones. The ceiling over
the stage could be raised few feet,
which would render the voices more
distinct, and in doing this q plat
form could be built in the upper
hall, directly over the stage, for
the use of the band upstairs. One
or two entertainment would yield
sufficient funds to make these needed
improvements. We make these
suggestions with the hope that
they will meet with = favorable
response. The changes would be
= great improvement, and if any
one will take the matter in hand,
VIC have no doubt they will receive
the consent and assistance Of the
Council.

THAT FORFEITURE CASE.
Opinion That the Northern Is Endeav-
oring to Conceal the Fun Import
of the Decision.


The opinion was expressed IN this
city yesterday by gentleman interest,"
ed in the recent decision of the supreme
court of the United States in the North
ern Pacific land grant forfeiture case,
that an effort is being made by the
Northern to suppress the news Of the
decision, or at least it's importance. 1t
will be remembered that the first dis
patch from Washington stated that the
lands involved in the suit were situated
between Tacoma and Portland. Tn sec
ond reference to the matter had its
source in an interview with Paul
Schulze, assistant general manager of
the Northern Pacific Land Company, in
which he denied the statement that the
validity of the grant between Tacoma
and Portland was in any way affected.
Mr.. Schulze then went on to say:
'The question involved was whether
the grant of the Northern Pacific. Com
pany for its Pacific division was of
prior date to that to the Oregon Central
Railroad Company, and the lands in
this state involved in this decision are
confined to a narrow strip along the
Columbia river in Clark, Cowlitz and
WahlSiakum counties-that is, lying
within the overlapping limits of the
grants to the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company and the Oregon Central Rail-
road Company. incidentally the title to
some other tracts will be affected by
this decision, but only in so far as the
decision will fix a date when the North
ern Pacific grant took effect. For the
information of those who think the
company has no grant between Tacoma
and Portland, l may state that we re-
Gently received patents for $4,000 acres
of land in the indemnity limits of the
within the place limits between Tacoma
and Kalama.'
According to the Northern Pacific
map the marrow strip referred to eX-
tends from Gray's Bay to point a
short distance above Kalama, and is of
about six miles in width Every other
section of this was claimed by the
Northern. There are hundreds of set
tiers on it, and all of those who got
their titles from the Northern will be
forced to bring suit for the recovery
of the money paid for the land. Many
of the settlers have nothing in the
world but the land they occupy, and the
decision is of the utmost Importance to
them.

rHp RAILROAD SITUATION.
The Young's Bay Bridge Question Sat
isfactorily Settled.


The Young's Bay bridge question has
been settled at last, and that hindrance
to the completion of the Seaside road
into this city has been finally removed.
The news reached this city yesterday,
and the cause of the delay is fully and
satisfactorily explained in the following
dispatch;
Washington, March 9, 1894
Hon. Alfred Kinney, M. D., Mayor of
Astoria. Ore: Everything all right.
Duplicate license papers being prepared
in the department authorizing the
bridge. viii be forwarded in a few
days for execution by the company.
DELAY caused by the secretary's alb
sence. JOHN H. MITCHELL.
The subsidy committee are now
awaiting news from Messrs. Baxter and
Dickinson that they are ready to sign
the contract. There have been disquiet-
ing rumors afloat for the past few days
about the status of the railroad situa-
ton, but the subsidy committee are
satisfied that work will be begun in the
course of a few weeks by some one or
other of the parties who have expressed
themselves as willing to accept the
magnificent subsidy offered.
The Stanton party have not yet been
heard from, as far as any proposition is
concerned, but they have been inquir-
ing into the value of the subsidy, and
are apparently willing to enter into con-
tract if an opportunity is furnished.
Some more of the members of the
right-of-way committee returned home
last evening, and report satisfactory
progress.
