THE PASSING PRESSURE.

Astoria is not the dullest city in
the Northwest!
She is relatively dull, Of course, at
this season when politics supefvene
and the country itself is dull; when
money, enterprise, improvement, all
are in allegiance, awaiting the verdict
Of the nation upon the great policies
that are to govern its destinies, in
cluding its markets, for the next four
years, but there are places in com.
parison with which Astoria is literally
booming and we should hug this con-
elusive fact to our commercial bosom
and be glad that our business energies
are elastic enough to carry US over
the season with our business-doors
wide open to trade and the vast ma
jorities Of our people at work at
good wages.
We are not beset with failures; we
are not suffering from the necessities
of life; we are still busy at our usual
avocations, and in the main we are
getting along famously, with plenty
Of courage to tide US over the passing
pressure of reservations and econo
mics incident to the desultory hour
Of waiting; this will soon pass and we

Wants Through Service.

|
An important meeting of the State
| Corporation Commission was held in
Richmond last week relative to a
| through service to Lexington by way
of the B. d 0. and its Valley branch.
The Southern railway owns the
Strasburg and HarrisOnburg railroad,
SO miles, connecting these points
Passengers going to some places in the
Valley from Baltimore on the Balti-
more and Ohio are required to change
cars and recheck their baggage at
Strasburg Junction and again at Har-
risonburg. This is delay and an in
convenience
In view Of Baltimore's large invest
ment in the Valley railroad, which
amounts to 81, 900, 900, and the advan-
tage it would be to the city to have a
through service to the Valley of Vir-
ginia, the Baltimore and Ohio brought
the matter to the attention of Mayor
Mahool The Mayor had conference
with the two city directors, Messrs.
Jacob W. Hook and w. Hook Sander
son, and at his request they represent
ed the city at the Richmond hearing.
There they assumed the position with
the commission that as Baltimore had
invested so much money in the Valley
railroad, from which it had never re-
ceived any direct return by way of di-
vidend, and the only return it has ever
received or could hope for, was by way
of securing good service between Balti-
more and the Valley, the city was en-
titled TO consideration at the hands of
the commission, and the service as pro-
posed by the Baltimore and Ohio would
facilitate the interchange between Bal
timore and points in the Valley of Vir-
ginia.
The Baltimore and Ohio indicated its
willingness to erect station, costing
SIS 1000, at Strasburg, plans for which
were prepared and, in view of the COM
missions order as to through train ser
vice, undertook to arrange with the
Southern Railway Company for such
service, not only via the Southern rail
way to Alexandria, but to Winchester
Charlestown, Harper's Ferry, Wash
ington and Baltimore via the Baltimore
and Ohio. 1t was suggested that ont
through train daily by each of these
routes be established.
Failing to reach a satisfactory con
clusiOn with the Southern Railway
Company, the Baltimore and Ohio
asked the Virginia commission to name
a service to be put on both routes. This
the commission declined, and insisted
that all the trains should run through
via the Southern railway to AleXan
dria. This involves transfer at StraS
burg for all passengers coming to Balti
more and other points on the Baltimore
and Ohio.
This is the way in which the matter
now rests The Baltimore and Ohit
officials and the directors in the Valley
road ON the part of Baltimore feel tina
it is serious hardship and draw back
to the commercial interests in this city
doing business in that sectiOn.-Balti
