Raj, ROAD NOTES.

DIR. l.. w. Hoenock is the CHER en-
gineer of one of Russia's great fan-
roads. Speaking of this greatest ran
road in the world of which he IS chieI
engineer of the line from Irku:sch TO
Vladivostock. he gave these particu-
lars:
"The total length OF the line is 1854
miles. 1t is going to be built in hVe
divisions, and each division Will pe
built from each end of the line so as
to complete it as early as possible. The
distance | have mentioned Is from
Vladivostock to the Ural mountains,
and then we have a line of 26O miles
over the mountains. This Will run from
Yekathrinburg as the point on the
Asiatic side to Nicholasky on the
European side. We cross the noun
tains at u height of about 1850 feet,
or few feet higher or lower. and we
shall have no tunnel but winding as
cents, such as you have at Leadville
and elsewhere. At Nickolasky we
shall have connections with the present
railroad running to Moscow and st.
Petersburg. This is built as a great
strategic line to bring Russia near to
the centre of the Asiatic powers and
right at the doors of india
II
The completion of the new Delaware
river bridge, which is expected to take
place about March |, will open up
great possibilities for the Pennsylvania
railroad not only in the matter of sea-
shore travel. but in the various other
directions, all of which the wide-aweke
officials of the company will take ad-
vantage Of. In anticipation of the early
opening of the bridge. the operating
and transportation officers of the COM
pany will in a few days consider the
question of the number of trains to be
sent over the new line. The traffic de-
partment has already taken up the
matter. and has been at work for some
time preparing q schedule of freight
rates to various points likely to be
reached by the bridge route.
A well authenticated report is in cir
culation that the Atchison. Topeka and
Santa Fe railway has entered into a
contract with the Wagner Palace Car
company, to use its sleeping cars on the
entire Atchinson system, replacing the
Pullman cars which are now running
The Pullman contract. it says, was, of
course revoked when the company was
taken out of the hands of the receivers
and reorganized, and no new contract
with that company has yet been
made"

The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1896-02-14
THE TINE TO ADVERTISE,

Mr.. E. J. Smith says business men with
whom he talked in the East were anxious
to learn all they could about the Pacific
Coast, and the prospective development
and Increase OF this country's trade with
China and Japan was a theme OF constant
discussion everywhere.
There is every reason to believe that a
large and desirable class OF immigration.
with vast amount OF capital behind H.
will be attracted to this coast in the i'm
mediate future. But. as Mr.. Smith found,
while Tacoma and Seattle are well known
towns to most Eastern people. Astoria is
either utterly unheard OF, or what little
information there is extant about the city
is so intermingled with falsehood as to
the condition and accessibility OF our
harbor that we stand little show by con-
trast with some OF our jealous and more
enterprising neighbors-
The necessity for the adoption OF some
intelligent plan OF systematic and per-
sistent advertising for Astoria has been
dnated upon so often in these columns
that it seems a useless and thoroughly
unappreciated task to further attempt to
arouse any interest in the subject. There
never has been a tine in the history OF
the city when the retrns from the right
kind OF advertising would be so certainly
and quickly apparent as at present, and
IL our business men and property owners
could be made to realize the extent to
which the eyes OF the whole country are
turning in this direction. perhaps 4
greater interest and attention might be
excited in the matter.
There is serious danger that when the
inevitable tide OF immigration to this
coast sets in, If we have neglected the
preliminary work so essential TO guide Il
to this section, instead OF the beneft we
might reasonably expect from it. we
shall see this immigration divide on both
sides of US and thus 90 to help build UP
and render still more formidable those To-
calities most interested in retarding or
preventing altogether our growth and de-
velopment.
The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1896-02-14
TWO pIFFERENr METHODS.

The figures representing the Republican
and the Democratic methods Of treating
the matter OF public Indebtedness are so
impressive and instructive that they de-
serve to be urged strongly upon the at
tention OF the people who pay the debts.
Between March l. 1853. and March /. 1858
(when Mr.. Cleveland returned 10 office,
the debt payments of the Republican
party amounted TO $l.ssl,5s7,S72 Between
March /. 1886. and March l. 1856 Cunder the
rule Of Mr.. Cleveland. the national debt
was increased 10 the extent II $262, ~.
That is to say. since Mr.. Cleveland's re-
turn to office ne has put back upon the
people Just about one-seventh Of the debt
that his Republican predecessors took on.
Give him little more time and no doubt
he would restore the whole Of it. The
American Economist presents the fact in
another interesting form, as follows:
Republican monthly decrease Of
debt 1S65-1S9J. J................. -, I02,ll ~
Democratic monthly increase
Of debt. ls95-lS96. ',J12'Szi =
This is the work of the great states
man whose soul burned within him, eight
years ago. as ne observed surplus in
the treasury. In his letter OF accept
ance. in 1855, Mr.. Cleveland said.
I'm reviewing the bad effects Of this
accumulated surplus and the scale OF
tariff rates By which it is produced, we
must not overlook the tendency toward
gross and scandslous public extrava- /
