JUST WHY THEY WE'RE LATE.
An Explanation That Is Due the Rail-
road-Its Splendid Success Un-
der Adverse Conditions.

'The criticisms passed upon the train
service of the Astoria and Columbia
River railway in connection with the
Sachem's excursion from Portland on
May 9Th last, are undeserved," said
Superintendent John Mcclure of that
railroad yesterday. I'm the first place
we had a train of twenty-one cars, a
heavy pull for single locomotive it.
self. but not too heavy for us to have
made the time had there been no hind
RANGES.
I'm order to provide coaches enough
for the people we had to borrow them
from connecting roads in Portland.
They were coaches designed for noun
tain travel and fitted with the safety
air brake check that can be operated at
win from inside the coaches. The or
binary cars do not have this appliance
or. If attached, the lever controlling the
emergency brake is in a locked closet
where it can only be reached by the
train men.
"This was not the case on the bor-
rowed coaches, the brakes being con-
trolled by a rope-pull overhead. OF
course there were hundreds Of young
men and boys on the train who were up
to any and all sorts of mischief and
someone showed them how 10 set the
emergency brakes. Time and again,
the train was brought to a standstill

SALMON ARE RUNNING.
Prospects Good For Banner Catch
This season--All the Fishermen
At Work.

The fishermen are jubilant. The
promises Of early April for a good run
OF salmon during the season. are being
more than fulfilled in May. The catch,
up and down the river, in gill nets,
traps and on seining grounds, has been
steadily improving until now the sup
ply OF fish Is almost sufficient TO keep
all the canneries running full time.
The last days Of the month of April
and the opening week Of the present
month were marked by decided fall
ing Off in the run Of fish. so much so
that many of the gill net fishermen
came in and laid up their boats; but to-
day every available boat is in the river
and about 1000 fishermen are at work.
The fish are of finer quality, al
though not of an average great weight
than have ever been taken from the
Columbia river. The average weight of
the fish taken is about 2S pounds, al
though a number Of much larger tish
are delivered daily.
But it is in the flesh. fibre and color
OF the fish taken this year that the
packers rejoice. Columbia river salmon
have always commanded the highest
price in all the markets Of the world,
and the pack this year will not only add
to the well established reputation of the
Astoria river FSckers. but will add to
the price of the goods.
"The Columbia pack Of salmon al
ways sells first, wholesale and retail,
said Mr.. Galloway, the well-known san
Francisco fish broker the other day.
"and the anly thing that is bothering
us this year is, will the pack be large
enough?"
The indications are that the 1900 pack
will be a banner one, and that means
prosperity for thousands of our ciu-
zens.

A SWEDISH NIGHTINGALE.

Nine. Jennie Norelli. who sings So
prano at the Unitarian church, has
been termed 'the Swedish Nighten-
gale" She is a native of Sweden, and
received her musical education in the
Royal Conservatory of Music, at Stock
hahn; she was the one admitted out Of
a class of 80 applicants. She spent
six years in the conservatory, and then
went to Paris, where she studied one
year with Nine. Viardot, the renown-
ed dramatic singer and teacher. Sub
sequently she returned to Stockholm,
where she made her debut as Margue-
rite. in Gounod's Faust"
Then followed a fourteen months
tour throughout Europe. she singing
in the foremost capitals and before the
most critical audiences. Finally she
accepted an engagement with the Red
pathe Lyceum Bureau. Of Boston, un-
der which management she toured
the United States, closing with a three
nights engagement at the Auditorium,
in Chicago. Nine. Norelli then toured
the Pacific coast with the celebrated
Swedish ladies' quartet, meeting with
ovations everywhere. She is possessed
Of fine voice, of good compass and
great purity. Her hexibility Of tone
is wonderful, showing remarkable con-
troll and enabling her to make the most
difficult trins and runs with ease. She
is graced with pleasing stage presence

in this way and It was not until the
Red Men had stationed members In
each car to protect the brake, that we
were able to make the time. No en-
gine could pull a train Of twenty-one
loaded passenger coaches with the
brakes set on eight or ten of them.
That is the reason. andthe only reason
no better time was made. There was
but little trouble going home and good
time was made"
The truth is that the Astoria and
Columbia Railway has a remarkable
record in more respects than being al
ways on time. and always on time it
is with regular trains. so much so that
Astoria people who know the hour Of
arrival Of the morning train look at
their clocks when they hear the whistle
and compare the time. The road was
built over and through a country that
at one time was pronounced impossible
for railroad by competent engineers.
After the track was laid. sinks. land
slides. spreading of rats and even the
displacement Of large sections of track
were Of constant occurrence.
1t was enough to discourage the man
agement of the railroad. but the men
in charge of the Astoria and Columbia
line never faltered. They put piles in
the sunken places. bridged over other
sinks. rip-rapped the hills where slides
occurred. ballasted track and. in short,
built one of the best pieces Of railroad
in the whole northwest over a route
that was called impossible.
And so careful has the management
been-so watchflu of their line-that
not single accident has occurred and
no passengers injured or killed. Trains
have been run on time, day in and day
out, in all kinds of weather and from
the superintendent down to the track
walkers there seems to be a spirit Of
determination TO overcome all obsta-
cles and that without accident to
property or persons.
1t is a record the management of the
new road can be proud Of and one Of
which no other railroad running
through a similar country can boast.
