AT FORT STEVENS.

The magnitude OF the work now going
on within a half hours ride OF Astoria
would be u surprise to many OF its
citizens, but the fact remains that the
federal government has taken at least
some heed To the Columbia's wants in
the way OF coast defenses and Is pre-
pairing to erect Notifications at Fort
Stevens after the most approved mod
ern ideas, and on IA scale that is eN-
tenslve.
What attracts the most attention at
present from the standpoint OF a spec
tator is the structure being built for
the mixing Of concrete ~ which to
make foundations for the breastwork
and guns. This is to be utilized some
what In the nature Of a shot tower
that is. everything goes 10 the top hrst
and hen down through the several pro-
cesses Of evolution until the manufac-
ture is complete. AT the ground floor.
There are 10 he two mixers operated
in this building, by steam power, and
the entire machinery for the plant Is
expected to arrive In a few days. The
building proper was commenced about
two weeks ago and is expected to be
complete about the latter part OF this
week. The height Is about 80 feet with
length and breadth about 20 feet each.
Although the building Is OF wood 1t
resembles somewhat In form a modern
six-story flour mill. 1t has sprung from
the ground like a mushroom. a human
form appears at every conceivable open
ing, and every man at work. II cannot
be compared 10 Solomon's temple, be-
cause the sound Of hammer and other
accessories makes considerable music.
There are two new railroad tracks
built out to the building. one Of which
runs to an elevation Of about twenty
feet from the ground and the other at
the surface, 50 arranged for economy
in handling the heavy material. The
track extends TO an open space or plat
form Of heavy planking, where much
Of the rough work will be done. The
cars which were used in the jetty con-
struction are being remodeled to serve
in this work. The machine shop is doing
its share, and in the offices draughts-
men are laboring yer heaps Of plans
and specifications for the Notifications,
which when completed will be a credit
as we'll az a protection to the greater
Astoria.

COUNTY ROADS,
Comments Of an Observer on the Ne
cessity OF Good Roads and Bridges,

Astoria, Sept. ~, 1896,
To the Editor
have noticed in your paper under
the subject OF good roads, that it has
been suggested that a bridge be built
across Young's River in stead OF a ferry
to connect with the Seaside wagon road,
This. In my opinion, is a wise move, and
should meet with the hearty co-opera-
ton Of every resident OF the city and
county, Such a bridge will give much
better facilities for traffic than a ferry
possibly could, and will be much more
permanent In character.
Since the site Of the bridge has not
been designated. | would suggest that
il would best meet the requirements Of
all to locate 1t where it will do the
largest amount OF good for both country
and city people. Some people favor
putting it about a mile beyond VIII
Transport. but 1t seems 10 me hat this
is rather out Of the way, and in fact q
bad location. In order TO utilize the new
roads, both the Lewis and Clarke and
the contemplated city street improve
ment, a bridge should be built on a
direct line SO that the travel will be
brought directly through the center OF
the city. This may be accomplished in
two ways; First, put the bridge near
the mouth OF the slough on the Hess
farm; or, run it west by the Hess resi-
dence, across the slough into the Now
len tract, and from there build the
bridge to Fairfield or TO q connection
with Lafayette street. The latter is by
far the better plan for several reasons.
Ii serves the interests Of the city bet
ter than any other scheme, and meets
the requirements Of the country people
as well as any other plan. 1t is most
desirable to have the road as short and
direct as possible, In future years a
motor line as we'll as wagon roads, a
be best accommodated on the short
line. Ii may cost more at the beginning
to build a road and bridge in first class
shape. but in a very few years the pro-
fits and advantages Of such a line will
be more than realized. 1t is a business
proposition and We ought all Of us to
look at it in this light. Realizing the
coming greatness OF Astoria, We should
be ready now to hasten forward every
possible Improvement and do every
thing in our power by hard work, TO
serve our immediate needs by a class Of
Improvements which will be good for all
time. W.

that Mr., Cleeton had mentioned the 5j-
