FINAL SURVEY
 ALMOST COMPLETE
White River Branch Will Have Over . Two Miles Of Tunnels When Com plete River Will Be Twice
 Bridged.

The surveyors are about to com plete the permanent location on the last section of the White river road. It has required a great deal of careful work to ascertain the best route from Lakes Ferry Ark, to the mouth of ROark Creek, in Fancy county, Mis- souri. At least ten preliminary lines have been run within the last eight months in the effort to obtain a prac- tical 1 per cent grade. The route definitely decided upon is by way of Turkey Creek and Omaha, Ark. This line will call for two tunnels of at least 2,000 feet each, one at the head of Turkey Creek, at the edge of Fancy county, the other few miles beyond, through the ridge near Omaha.
 A considerable tract of land has been purchased close to Omaha for toWnsite purposes, as it is expected that a branch line will be built south rom that point toward Fort Smith. $. r. Shaw is in charge of the corps between Lakes Ferry and Roark Creek, and announces the permanent location from the former point to Keener, in Boone county, and that construction will begin imme. liately at Lakes Ferry. A bridge spans the White river 300 feet long. The west end will face a mountain, through which a tunnel a thousand feet long will be driven, and which will open di- rectly upon another bridge spanning the Fallen Ash. Between Lakes Ferry. Ark, and Galena, Mo, will be four tunnels, aggregating 1000 feet in length, and many deep cuts. There will be score of bridges and much trestle work. The bridge crossing White river in Fancy county at the mouth of Turkey Creek will be the most romantic on the line. It will be 1000 feet long and span the river sev Anty five feet above low water mark. The scenery at this point is magnifi- cent. Men and teams are being as- sembled at the various tunnel sites, and it is expected that the work on the Railey's Creek tunnel will begin in the next two weeks.

FERoClouS COUGAR KILLED.

The past week developed cougar
story over in Pacific county, Wash. The
cougar was an elderly female and had
been forced down out of the mountains
by hunger. Dan Markham, superin-
tendent Of the Lebam hatchery, and an
other fish expert had been at the hatch
cry dam, near which dog belonging to
Soloman Markham came across the
cougar. The beast showed fight at once
and in less than a jiffy was rolling the
dog around In the road. Another dog
joined in the combat, but the cougar
was too much for the domestic animals
and had little difficulty in putting them
to flight. While the battle was in pro-
gress Edward xirsch happened along
with rifle and took three shots at the
cougar as she was advancing to renew
the attack on he dogs. One of the bull
lets penetrated her head and she took
to tree, where she was killed by a
well director shot. The dog that first
became involved with the cougar was
badly injured, and it was evident that
the beast had leaped from a tree onto
the back Of the dog.

In California, an enterprising body OF
men have organized themselves into a
committee for the purpose of breaking
up some of the large land holdings of
that state and the scheme is meeting
with success. The land in question is
sold in one, five, and fifteen acre tracts
and some Of it is located in the most
productive portions Of the state. The
committee has already received word
from at least fifty large land owners
that they are willing to encourage set
tlement in this manner. The Califor-
mia plan is suggestive of what might
be done IN Oregon. The date Of the
Lewis and Clark fair is less than two
years off. Emigration is coming in at

OYSTER BUSHES BOOMING.

According to William Mills, the Bay
Center merchant, the oyster business
on Willapa bay is booming. I'VE prac-
tically control the market now" says
MIR. Mills. The beds on the sound are
nearly depleted, and it has been neces-
sary to curtail the output there in order
to give the beds chance to recuperate.
The price there has been forced up to
81 and IS sack. This is forcing the
dealers to come our way. 1t has been a
long time since the demand for our
oysters has been as great as it is now,
and Of course the price is constantly 60
ing up. We are now receiving SO per
sack and are shipping about $500 worth
Of oysters per day."

THE IErr CONTRACT.

Our esteemed friend, the Portland
Journal. Il inclined to be unreasonable
in dealing with the matter Of the CON
tract for jetty rock, The Historian ag-
recs that the Northwest Construction
co. has been unable to furnish as much
rock as was desired by the government
engineers, and that deliveries were short
OF the contract stipulations: but it
does not admit that the best interests
Of the whole people has not been sub
served on this account. To the con-
trary, 1t insists that the governments
contract with the local concern and
that concerns work thus far are more
satisfactory than otherwise could have
been arranged. Let 1t be known that
the Northwest Construction Com
pany is furnishing rock for 81
cents a ton, while the Portland com-
pany in which the Journal is 50 much
interested bid s1.25 ton. The difference
in the price is thus shown to be "a cents
per ton. The jetty viii require fully
100000 tons OF rock in all. so that there
Is saved under the present contract
sSSo,00O. Now, it may be that our Port
land friend regards this sum as alto
gether too trifiing to have been allowed
10 stand in the way of the awarding of
the contract to Messrs. Hale & Kern,
bur, fortunately for the safety Of the
national treasury, it is not shared by
those officials with whom final decision
of such matters rests. To be real frank.
the government is quite willing to make
some concessions to the company whose
offer will effect saving of s6S0,oo0. II
would be folly to say that The Astorian
is nat anxious for improvement of the
bar. The future of Astoria and Of The
Astorian depends on it. and if there
were any reasonable cause for COM
plant at the manner in which the work
was being carried on this paper would
be first to voice the protest, nor would
Il rest content until conditions had been
richttd. But it fully realizes that, des-
spite the shortage of rock delivery thus
far. the work at the rivers mouth has
not suffered in any way, and that the
Portland complaint is not based upon
real interest in the Improvement, but
upon a desire to discredit the North
west Construction Company with the
government officials, so that future con-
tracts, involving vast sums of money,
may go to rival concerns at excessive
figures. The Astorian is nearer the
ietty than the Journal and may be de-
pended upon to vigorously point out any |
Irregularities that may be calculated to
injure the commercial interests Of the
Columbia river.
