May Come to Ast0ria.-It wouI

May Come to Astoria.--It would not
be in the least surprising should the
Northern Pacific railroad construct it's
warehouses and grain elevators in this
city. Indications are that such is the
intention OF that company, and as a
starter in this work, the company will
build a bridge across the Columbia
river probably in the vicinity Of st,
Helcns. II is learned that an agent of
the railroad has bonded over one hun.
drcd acres OF land at Caples on the
Washington side of the river. opposite
St IIelens, and large tracts OF land on
the Oregon side have also been taken
up, in the expectation Of putting in the
bridge at this point When this bridge
is finished. The road will undoubtedly
run its enormous freight shipments
bound for the Orient, into Astoria,
where the ships will be loaded, North
ern Pacific officials are anxious to enter
Astoria and make this point the main
terminal for their grain and freight ex-
ports. as Astoria ha~ an in>urmount-
able advantage over Portland, situated
as it i, at the very entrance to the Co.
lumbia, with deep harhor, and miles
of water frontage. The entrance of the
Northern Pacific into Astoria with the
consequent advantages to Astoria and
the shipping interests in general, will
be awaited with anticipation by As
torians

Pigs as Draft Animals

In many countries and even so near a.
Scotland the pig has served the purnosa
OF a beast of draft. and has actually
been haruessed to the pIov in couDanv
with cows and horses. In Scotland also
early in the last century pigs were
sometimes made TO serve as cbarserz
and proved most dociie mounts
The homng instinct is strongly de-
veloped IN the pig. Instances nor in
frequently occur Of pigs finding their
way back to farms whence thew have
been conveyed There is a record of
two pigs homing nine miles and cross
ing the Thames TO boot, to their old
farm, whence they had heel, driven IN

gentleman on the previous day. At one
point on their homeward journey where
two roads met the twain were observed

About 1915 London gentleman crs-

hogs After TWO or three turns round

once a week during the past nine
months her parents have gone to
the immigration building. An her
friends have gone down to the long
shed at the end of the building. and
there have conversed with her.
During The warmer months, when
the girl could sit by an open window,
these visits were frequent, for con-
versation was not difficult. But
nowadays it is not wise for a ira

the chilling draughts: so the friends
do not come frequently.
