THE COMING OPPORTUNITY.

With the decided advent of spring,
the blooming of flowers, songs of birds
and bright, warm sunshine. has come
general feeling of announcement
and confidence all over the city.
Nothing so dispels the clouds and re-
news hope as the smiling face Of ma

conditions exist, backed up by the de-
termination OF vigorous and enterpris-
ing men to strain every nerve TO push
forward public prosperity in the CON-
munity in which they live. aid in the
growth of their city along safe and
permanent lines. something has to
give way and take the place of the
old lethargy. Such a state Of affairs
has developed in Astoria and there
IS every Indication that it VIII be
followed to its logical conclusion. The
eyes of the whole state of Oregon are
upon US, and the psople are expecting
great things out Of Nazareth in 1897
Wars and rumors of wars fill the Eu-
ropean air, a railroad war of gigantic
proportions threatens the United
States, the result Of the supreme court
decision in the trans Missouri case
under the antitrust law, which. de-
spite all efforts, may unsettle business
throughout the land--yet the little A.
boria railroad is daily nearing compile
ton and its relations already estab-
Iished to transcontinental lines are
such as to guarantee success from
the butsses. Following the rail-
road it is well known that several
industrial enterprises, supplementary
to it, and which will establish the tin
pail br1gades so much needed in Az
toria. are under consideration for this
season. and will be inaugurated if
proper support can be obtained. AS
q result of these great changes, can
be seen in the near future the building
up here of one of the greatest COM
nercial centers ON the Pacific coast
and the establishment Of a large ORR
entail traffic If the latest rumors
from London are correct, that j. J.
Hill, the president Of the Great North
ern, has succeeded in effecting a COM
bine of that road with the Northern
Pacific, Northern Steamship Co.. the
Canadian Pacific and the Baltimore &

quence Of the deal can hardly be cs-
timated, and despite broken ass1cia-
tons and rate wars, which will be .
bur temporary (as the good sense #
