ASTORIA'S ALL RIGHT.

Taking it all in all Astoria has come
through the "stringeney" in prime good
shape, and is in a position to face a
continuance of the limitations, in com
fort and safety, though we believe the
embargo will gradually lift, and shortly
clear itself for good and all. Our lum-
ber mills are all running; the canneries
have big stocks under older and ready
for shipment; the lesser factories of all
sorts are busy and give no sign OF
abatement of work; the merchants all
tell of steady trade though it is some
what abridged; and the people them
selves are patient and forbearing. and
contributing in all ways to the preserva-
tiou Of a sensible and conservative sta.
tus; a policy that will pay handsomely
when the general and thankful. review
is made of trying situation happily
and successfully passed.

The Big Beaver Dam.

Florence, Colo.-The Beaver Land
and Irrigation Company has decided
to build n big dam Of concrete and
steel across Beaver creek just below
the forks. SO that 1t can be used for
impounding water for storage pur-
poses. The dam will be narrow, prob
ably not exceeding twenty feet
across, and can be built to height
of several hundred feet II necessary.
1t will be constructed directly below
n series of reservoirs constructed sev-
eral years ago by the Woods Invest
ment Company, which was recently
sold to the Pueblo and Suburban Light
ing and Traction Company.
This is one of the most important
steps the company has yet underta-
ken in its big resrvoir and reclama.
tion service. There Is an abundance
of water at all times, whether drop
exists in the Arkansas valley or not.
The new dam will be provided with
spillways, SO that when 1t is neces'
sary to raise Beaver creek 1t can be
done with ease. The company's large
reservoirs will be filled from this dam.
The first reservoir to be built is
WneTe tuG lAtc ochhNoA ANuWoAN ".
Wolcott constructed one several
years ago. This will be for the pur.
pose of irrigating 800 acres of land In
the Brush Hollow district.
The company expects to irrigate be-
tween 10000 and 10000 acres OF land
during the next few years. Sixteen
Thousand acres have already been
purchased. az well as two-thirds Of the
water in beaver creek.
The Beaver creek water has cost
the company approximately 100000.

After Twenty Years.

New York.-A mother and her two
children, whom she had not seen Tor
twenty wears and has long believed
dead. will be reunited as soon as Mrs.
Charles w. Foster OF No. 145 West
Twenty.third street, reaches Los An
geles.
AS a girl OF fifteen, Mrs. Foster ran
away with and married Augustus j.
Hill OF Holyoke. Massachusetts, and
they lived together happily for five
wears. Without any known reason the
husband deserted his wife and two lit
tie children-a boy and girl-leaving
them penniless.
Mrs. Hill set out to make living for
herself and children and at the suS.
pestion of her husbands family gave
the children into their care. She later
received letter that both had died OF
scarlet fever. Her letters asking fo'
particulars was never answered.
The deserted wife married again al
ter obtaining divorce. She had
heard that her two children were NOT
dead and began search for them, en-
ploying detectives and inserting adver-
tisoments in newspapers. Last De
cember Christmas present came for
Mrs. Foster. wrapped In a copy OF
Los Angeles newspaper. Mrs. Foster
glanced over the paper and saw an an
nouncement of the marriage OF MISS
Caroline Hill to Robert w. Sturges.
She wrote, and the correspondence
that followed revealed the fact that
Mrs. Sturges and her brother Frank
were the children of Mrs. Foster. AMI
they will be reunited next week.

Denver Reaching Out.

Denver.-Less than week after its
Inauguration. the through car service
to the Goldfeld- -Tonopah district has
trebled the expectations Of its volume.
When Traffic Manager Thomas G..
Scott of the Colorado Manufacturers
Association made this arrangement, he
made a guarantee to the railroad COM
panies that the weekly shipments
would not be less than carload. Up
to date three cars have been sent to
Nevada from Denver.
IF the scheme is so popular in its
first week, we probably will be ship
ping three cars daily in Ave months
time." said Mr.. Scott. Although we
took every means to let shippers here
know of the service. It has not yet had
time to be thoroughly realized.
Hitherto It took from five weeks to
five months for stuff to reach Gold
field from here. One firm Of Denver
cigar manufacturers recently had $780,
900 worth OF goods on the road be-
tween here and Nevada. They were
started on the way soon after the first
of the year"
A valuable idea Of the importance OF
Denver as a shipping center can be
gathered from the various nature OF

of which Denver is the greatest source
in the world, but all kinds Of manufac-
tured goods, cigars, tobacco and liQu-
ors are included in the consignments.
The same can be said of the con-
tents of the regular weekly car sent
from here to Chicago. This is mostly
for the benefit Of the foreign export
trade. Mining machinery IL sent from
Denver to Australia, South Africa,
