Chief Engineer Jameson, who has

reports that work is progressing very
satisfactorily. At Blind Slough one
dredger is at work and is making fair
progress. Thirty men are engaged in
this vicinity, clearing right Of way, and
working in connection with the dredg-
er. The next large camp is located just
above Westport. Here two dredgers
and fifty men are making good head
way with grading and clearing. The
embankments are being thrown up in
good shape. fully UP to the standard Of
the balance of the line.
At Marshland and Clatskanie fifteen
teams and forty men are hard at work
and along the bottoms west OF Rainier
and Just below Goble. fifty teams and
eighty men are doing scraper work and
throwing up embankments. A large
number Of men are scattered along in
small squads over the entire distance,
and all told three hundred men are
employed in the various camps. They
are making the best of the fine weather,
and will be retained through the winter,
Early in November Corey Brothers

DISAPPOINTED
In THEIR HOPES
Manifesto issued by the Pops In
Chicago on the Present
Situation.
MUST DIVIDE THE ELECTORS
Democrats Have Not "Toted Fair" and
Something Must BE Done TO over
come the Obstacles and Embar-
rassments Presented

Chicago. October ia meeting Of the
executive committee OF the Peoples
Party was held at the Sherman House
today All members were present with
the exception Of John S. Dore, OF Cali
forna. After hearing the reports from
the members present. and especially
from n. w. Reed. Of Georgia, who spent
several days with Thos Watson. the
committee decided to issue a manifesto
to the Peoples Party voters Of the Unit
ed States II says:
Your national committee indulges in
the hope that the patriotic action OF
the Peoples Party In the national con-
vention in subordlnating the interests
Of the party TO the success OF the vital
issue involved in this campaign would
be met by an equally unselhsh devotion
to the common interest on the part OF
the Democratic party, and that all
friends Of silver should present a solid
front against the minions Of greed by
supporting one ticket, the truly coop
erative ticket, Bryan and Watson.
But this hope being disappointed,
there were but two courses left, one of
which must be adopted.
First, TO run a straight Bryan and
Watson electoral ticket in every state,
which, on account OF the failure OF the
Democratic party TO support this ticket
would have effected the same result in
this campaign that would have followed
the nomination Of straight Populist
ticket at St Louis, namely. the election
OF Mckinley and the triumph Of the
gold standard.
The other course left open to your
committee that was consistent with the
convention in nominating Mr.. Bryan.
was to do everything in their power
to unite the voters Of the country
against Mckinley and to overcome the
obstacles and embarrassments which,
IL the Democratic party had put the
case first and party second, we would
not have encouraged. This cause should
be accomplished by arranging for a di-
vision Of the electoral votes in every
state possible. securing so many cleo
tors for Bryan and aWtson and conced-
ing so many to Bryan and Sewall. At
the opening Of the campaign this. un-
der the circumstances, seemed the wis
est course for your committee; and it
is clearer today than ever that it was
the only safe and wise course II our
votes were to be cast and made effect
I've for the relief of an oppressed and
outraged people"

ION THE BowERY."

In the history Of the American stage
there is no record OF play OF its kind
that has ever made a greater popular
hit than ION the Bowery," in which
Steve Brodie heads the list of charac-
tiers. Its visit TO this city occurs tomor-
row night at Fishers Opera House,
II is a combination OF sensational dra-
ma and comedy the sensational feat
ures being more picturesque than are
usually found, and the scenic element
being far more pronounced and life-like
than is common in such pieces Up
town and downtown life is wildly con-
trasted Brodie figures as a rescuer OF
the perscuted and benefactor of the
poor. He leaps from Brooklyn bridge
to save a girls life, rescues her again
from burning house, and protects the
hero from the Vaccinations OF the viii
lain, The thrilling qualities of these
occurrences are equalized by the laugh
able qualities Of the comic scenes with
which the play so richly abounds. These
scenes are exaggerations of just such
funny scenes as are to be seen on the
real Bowery, Many of them indeed, are
founded on fact.

CAR FAMINE.
Freight Rates Take Jump. Following
Grain Prices

Chicago October 13.-The higher
prices for grain and the chance Of the
elevation Of freight rates in the near
future have had a qulckening effect on
freight handled by Western roads.
They are now handling more traffic
than at any time for the past six
months.
The rush Of corn to the East has be-
come so great as TO prove a serious en-
barrassment TO some Of the roads be-
cause Of their inability to procure cars
to handle the stuff as rapidly as II Is
offered. Shipments Of live stock, too,
have taken big jump upward and all
the large roads running west from Chi
go report greatly improved conditions
in this branch Of their business. II the
meeting OF the traffic officials of the
Western roads. which is to convene to-
morrow, succeeds in restoring freight
rates and keeping them at point 70
which they may be elevated, the roads
win be doing the best business they
have done at any time in three years.

THE GOLDFISH INDUSTRY.

While on the Sound recently, Mr..
Frank Stokes says that at Anacortes
he was much interested in the Goldfish
industry, which is comparatively new
enterprise there. He saw one schooner
arrive from Behring Sea, where the fish
are caught, with $4,000 Goldfish aboard,
The work of curing and packing the
fish is under the direction of Captain
Mattison, a man from the East, thor
oughly acquainted with the business.
The institution is making money hand
over fist. The fish. which are shipped
to foreign ports are sundried, while the
fish for home consumption is prepared
In blocks, bundles, boneless squares or
rolls. and are picked on board the ships
as caught In the Behring sea.
Mr. Stokes says that in his opinion
what is now being done at Anacortes
can just as well or better be done at
Astoria, and packer here would have
the additional advantage of better
climate and better shipping facilities
He thinks. however, that to make the
industry a go, Eastern men Of expe-
rience and Eastern capital will have to
be secured

WHAT JONES THINKS.

Chicago. October 13.-Chairman Jones,
OF the Democratic national committee,
gave out a statement today character
izing as absurd the figures showing the
probable result Of the election as given
out by Senator Quay.
Chairman Jones states that in all the
states classed by Senator Quay as
doubtful complete and harmonious fu-
sion between Democrats, Populists and
silver Republicans. exists, rendering
them certain for Bryan. For the same
reason he classes as doubtful the states
Of Iowa, Ohio, and Wisconsin, and
claims for Bryan the electoral votes Of
Illinois. Indiana, Kansas. Kentucky,
Michigan. Minnesota. North Dakota
and West Virginia, all of which were
claimed for Mckinley by Quay. The
table given out by Chairman Jones
gives 81 votes as certain for Mckinley,
279 for Bryan and 81 as doubtful.

Another point that should not be
forgotten in considering the road ques-
tion in clatsop county is the well known
fact that Astoria originally was the
center OF the salmon industry Of the
Pacific coast, II not OF the world. At
the present time. however. San Fran
cisco is the chief shipping port Of the
salmon industry. Many people have
considered that It's superior facilities
and railroad connections have made
san Francisco the place Il is. No doubt
these things have had a good deal to
do with II. but in my opinion Astoria
has had 20 play second fiddle because
Of its lack OF facilities for enjoying life;
the lack OF sensible roads and beauti-
ful driveways reaching into the healthy
surrounding country has prevented
many from coming here to settle down
and spend their money in business and
public improvements one Of the prin-
cipal matters in any community is solid
roads and driveways, which may be
used with equal facility any time OF
the year. In California in all directions
leading out OF the principal cities are
magnificent roads which can be used
by carriages or bicycles. even 10 the
tops Of the highest mountains. at any
season OF the year. Cities surrounded
with such facilities for both business
and pleasure naturally attract many
people who want some OF the comforts
OF life as well as the opportunities for
making money.
I'VE can do nothing more important
TO this city than build good roads, now
that the railroad is assured"

WHEAT ON THE JUMP.

Chicago, October 1S.-Wheat started

disgust of many bulls who had sold

wheat and corn in Liverpool opened at

reasons for the higher prices were par
