prayers be offered for the success OF
the Beer arms. and the suggestion
was 70 lowed widely. The religious
press predicted that the prayers would
be heard and that they would be eflca-
cious in bringing about the defeat OF

If the rumors that the o. R. & n.
Co. is to extend its line along the north
bank Of the Columbia should prove true.
the result must inevitably be the ex-
tension of one of the great trunk lines
along this side of the river and the
granting of common point rates to AS
toria. or. ir other words, the making
Of Astoria the terminus of one Of the
trans-continental systems. The great
railroad lines of the country are be-
ginning to realize the futility of the
attempt to make Of Portland a great
seaport, as ship after ship gets stuck
on the sandbars of the Willamette and
the upper Columbia. Whatever Of
truth there may be in the present ru-
mors concerning the intentions Of the
o. R. & N. the future Of Astoria as
the great shipping port Of the Columbia
valley is assured by recent develop
ments as it never was before.
