Head Of A. & G. Railroad Ar.
rives In Astoria.
MAKES A PLAIN STATEMENT
Extension of A. g. c. from Seaside to
Tiilamook To Be Built Next Year
Surveys Made This Year
Inspection Trip to Coast.

President A. y. Hammond. of the
Astoria & Columbia Railroad Company,
arrived In this city from Portland, yes

car, California" accompanied by Judge
]. X. Weatherford. general attorney for
the Corvallis 4 Eastern Railway Com
pany tMr. iiammond's mid-Oregon
linel; by Mrs. Hammond General Man.
ager Talbot, OF the A. 4 c. and Mrs.
Talbot.
The party lunched here and made a
flying run TO the Tongue Point Milling
company's yards, and then returned TO
the depot. where several visitors were
received by Mr.. Hammond In the few
minutes ,ranspiring before bis departure
for the Seaside end Of the road, where
the party win enjoy the sea breezes
until this afternoon when they win re-
turn to Astoria and leave for the metro
polls on the morning express, tomorrow.
In response TO direct inquiry AZ to
his purpose In the matter OF the ~.
ported extension Of the A. 4 c. road,
from Seaside 10 Tillamook, Mr.. Ham
mond was perfectly frank, and TO the
point. He declared the road would be
built to Tillamook during the coming
year; that the work OF surveying and
securing the rsghts.of.way would begin
sometime this year.
There was nothing whatever ambig-
nous about 1t. He simply said that the
extension OF the road be made. That
means all there Is Of the story. for,
coming from Mr.. Hammond, IL In en-
,irely ample for the last doubter, and
means just that, nothing more nor less.
The pressure Of local interest in that
one especial fact, and the short time per-
mtted the interviewer, preeluded addi-
tional inquiries as to the extension OF
the Corvallis 4 Eastern, but 1t may be
taken an conclusive that that project
and the news Of it, have the tacit sane
tion Of President Hammond. or 1t would
not be still undenicd In the public
press.
Mr.. Hammond's health is not of the
most robust, but he Is getting the bet
ter OF his recent attack from the rheu-
matism, and was in evident good spirits
yesterday. and seemed TO be enjoying his
trip very much, He Il in the country on
a purely business journey, to despatch
certain affairs his subordinates were
not prepared to handle, and win be in
Oregon for perhaps week longer,

The increase In the cost of labor does
not come through the raise of wage
scales, the contractors explain, but
through the fact that the supply of men
ii short, and those who work will not do
~ much for days pay as they used

than positions.
II Il also claimed BY many that the
great demand for labor and materials In

the San Francisco disaster, has been

Material and Labor Increase 20
Percent Since Last Year.
BUILDING MAY BE RETARDED
Sharp Advance Noted Because of the
Great Demand--Scarcity of Labor
Sends Wages to High
Level.

During the past year contractors and
those acquainted with the prices of
building materials. state that there has
been an advance of about ~ per cent
In these lines. They say that the build
ing market II apparently trying TO break
the record, and that unless a chance
comes soon, many contractors and some
of the small lumber mills In this Sec
tion Of the Northwest will 20 to the
wall.
They assert that prices are going up
beyond reason in many lines and the
laboring man II refusing To do the same
amount Of work for d days wages that
he formerly did in the past. Al a ma
turaI result Of this tendency on the
part Of labor, the contractor claims that
he Il having to pay more for material
to work with, and in cases where his
contract has been bid upon before the
advances took place, he IL being forced

contracts, the man having the work done
II the victim whose pocketbook ID get
ting hit. and bit hard. 1t Ii he who has
TO pay about 20 cents more ON the doll
lar for his home or building.
The principal advances it Is said have
been in the cost Of lumber, logs, struc-
tnral iron, cement sand, and gravel and
in the cost Of labor. In addition there
have been advances in the cost of
paints, oils, turpentine, finishing ma
terials and house furnishings. it il
claimed. These advances vary from five
to forty per cent in different materials,
the greatest increase being in lumber
and cement.
Those who claim to know, say there
has been an average increase Of IS per
1000 in lumber due to the increase in
the price Of logs, the great demand for
lumber, and the inability Of the mills to
secure sufficient quantity of logs
Probably the greatest advance noted
has been in cement, which has gone
from S265 to 1915 which is the pre-
vailing price per barrel at the present
time. This material has not only gone
up in cost but there has been shortage
of q more or less serious nature in the
market for several months. Absolutely
all the home product il tied up. and
none but foreign product is available, it
is said. For time very little of this
could be secured on the Pacific Coast,
owing to a complete clean-out of the
market by railroads and other large
consumers before additional shipments
could be gotten in.
Sand and gravel have gone soaring
along with lumber and cement. Loads
vary in price now from $500 to as
much as $500 if the haul is very far
