Railroad Talk.

Tillamook will have but one railroad,
unless the Oregon Coast & Eastern per-
sists in keeping the town on its map,
for A. B. Hammond has abandoned his
intention of extending the Astoria &
Columbia River railroad through the
town. Instead, he will swing to the
west about six miles and continue down
the coast to connect at Newport with
the Corvallis & Eastern.
Railroad talk on the Coast has given
impetus to general commercial lines,
and number OF the big real estate
transfers are reported on the tapis. The
A. & G. extension will reach Cannon
Beach, and in spite Of the fact the line
will leave the beach in passing Tila-
nook, it has not been decided to
traverse the inland country the entire
distance to Yaquina Bay.
Guy w. Talbot, general manager OF
the A. & c., today stated that the fact
Mr.. Lytle's possession of the right Of
way precluded any attempt on his part
to occupy the same territory, did not
mean the abandonment Of the Seaside
extension, but instead that the A. & c.
would follow "a route six miles to the
west of Til(amook. sklrting the Mills,
and join the c. e. E. at Newport, as
originally planned. Mr.. Hammond is
reported to hold about G0,00O acres of
timber land in Tillamook county, and
this is expected to provide considerable
traffic and revenue for the road, despite
the loss of the Tillamook trade.-Port-
