ASTORIA WILL BOOM
To Be the NV York Of the Pacific
Coast.
PEERLESS MARITIME CITY
The Coming Metropolis of the
Northwest-Monta Men,
as Usua', to the
Front.

Next summer it is an assured fact that
| Astoria will have the greatest boom in the
| history of Oregon, If not the entire Pa
I cific northwest. Astoria is on the ocean
at the mouth of the Columbia. Any
vessel that ploughs the liquid burrows OF
the sea can sail into her harbor without an
hours delay from any cause and can lie
| along side of any dock or warehouse on
| all the city's miles of deep water front.
At present every vessel is towed through
slough, lagoon and stretches of trea-
| cherous rocks and shoals and sand bars
! to the present railway terminus, Port
land, at a cost of $500 to 1850 OH
| every vessel in towage and lighterage
fees. On the 1,SOO vessels entering an
| nually, this is a total levy of wrongful
| tribute of about 81. 10000, all of which
comes at last out of the pockets of the
shipper or producer. A vessel going TO
Seattle or Tacoma fares no better, and
| gets scuttled by the Teredo besides. But
gigantic as the mere pecuniary iniqulty is,
| II dwindles to a minor evil compared with
the loss of time. Every ship thus going to
Portland loses from SIX TO II days, an
aggregate annual loss of soue 5000 days
of time, or a total loss of over A years of
working time in every year.
In a few months all this will have been
changed. The well-known capitalists of
our own state, Messrs. Bonner & Ham
mond, have paid Sl0J,OOO in cash for the
portion of the railway already constructed
and have contracted for the building of
the remainder of the railway that will
make Astoria the seaboard terminus of
all the great trunk lines of the Pacific
coast and second to none in the United
States-the peerless maritime metropolis
of the Northwest. There is no other city
of l., 900 people in the United States with
out a railroad. Ocean, river, harbor, tim
Der, fisheries, coal and iron, fruitful soil,
enchanting scenery, matchless climate
Astoria has them all. Astoria has grown
and prospered SO amazingly without a
railway that she has never until recently
felt the need of it. Now she does and the
work has already begun. The New York
of the Pacific coast will arise like a magic
eXhalation.
He who does not wish to be run over by
the biggest boom of this half century must
move forward or get off the track. Our
townsmen. James A. Cummings also w.
w. Wishon. who are we'll and favorably
known, have just returned from Astoria.
where they secured number of choice
lots, blocks and additions at prices which
will enable our readers to get in on the
ground floor before the boom fairly starts.
Both these gentlemen have located IN the
Hamilton block, No. 40 West Broadway,
for headquarters in this city, for the tide
of customers which from this time for
ward must be a continuing and increas-
ing current.

was on trial all day before Judge McHat-
ton and jury. Tim Kennedy and George
Fitzgibbons sued Ephriam Beer for pos
session OF a triangular piece of ground ly-
ing west of town and adjoining the Volun-
teer mining claim on the south. The
ground was located by Robert TAFT and
others under the name of Evelyn in 1892,
but they failed to make the necessary i'm
provements on it and it was relocated by
the plaintiffs, who named it the Townste
fraction. In November, 1893. without
knowing that there was any location by
Kennedy and FitZgibbons, so they claimed,
TAFT and his partner relocated the ground
and named it the Clara. and afterwards
sold it TO Beer for 500. Beer built a house
on it and Kennedy and Fitzgibbons insti-
tuted the suit for election and rent at $40
a month. The trial was not concluded
when court adjourned for the day.
