the Astoria Railroad.

The Southern Pacific Railway Com
pany has entered Astoria formally for
business. This movement was antici-
pated about year ago by the AS
torian, when II predicted that the
Southern was the prime mover behind
Mr. Hammond In the building Of the
Astoria & Columbia River Railroad.
Mr. J. p. Jones, passenger agent Of
the Southern, in company with Mr.. C.
o. Terry. passenger agent Of the Bur-
Lington, arrived in the city yesterday
and appointed Mr.. Curtis Trenchard
the well-lnovn express and shipping
agent. local passenger agent Of the
Southern Pacific In this city. Un-
doubUedly the Southern is getting
ready for the handling Of business
when the new line shall be completed
The Burlington Is not ssleep IN the
matter. and the weil-known fact that
1t Is rapidly building through the
Black Hills an independent line 20
the coast lends color 10 the report
that she is also interested in the As
toria road. Nothing could be more
probable. as the Burlington has al
ways been a progressive and enter
prfsing railway. She Is always at the
front. always in the lead. the first to
adopt modern methods. and never
takes a step backwards. The South
ern Pacific, as Is wei known. Is the
largest and richest corporation on the
Pacific coast. 1t has been a factor In
the development Of this country. and
is rapidly gaining ground In Oregon
II Is beyond question OF doubt an
assured fact that other trans Missouri
lines and Eastern trunk lines are tn
terested to an extent in the Astoria
road, which viii open up the best
harbor on the Pacific coast. With
these railroad connections wilI come
manufactures to develop oregon's ma
tural resources. Pay rolls are what
Oregon needs. and they cannot come
too, soon.
