1t can now be settled fact that
with good weather the people will
attend the Arion fair in sufficient
numbers to make it success financial

tense heat there was good attend
ance on two days. Secretary Conrad
showed he was a hustler after he
took command of the ship. and to
him is due much credit AS leased
ground is used the management does
not try to put up great permanent
buildings, but resorts to tents and
temporary sheds and pens for the
exhibits. One of the most notable
displays this year was that of the
fruit. 1t was wonderful to see the
large number of varieties grown by
we'll known residents of the county.
Just think of great luscious peaches.
fine pears, seemingly endless varieties
OF apples big and little! 1t made
one feel like going home and starting
an orchard at once.
1t will be remembered that the
Ames expert said last year that he
had seldom seen such poor corn as
was on display from this county at
the showing last winter. He would
have had to change his tune if he had
been sent to Judge corn at the late
fair, for there was fine showing of
good firm corn and plenty of it. The
exhibit of poultry was not what it
should have been, considering the
superior birds in the county. In the
vegetable line.it having been good

The work of the good women was
in evidence. In the needle work de-
partment the samples were superior
The hasty observer would hardly
realize the hours and hours it had
taken to prepare this exhibit. We
really felt proud of our women folks
along this line. Then there was the
showing of pies, cakes. bread. looking
so enticing. The awful dust which
was settling on everything made it
impossible to think of eating even
such tempting things. The women
certainly should be thanked for their
part in the fair.
1t was the department devoted
to horses which took the lead for dis
play of stock. There were fully
fifty horses, young and old in the
stalls. 1t was most encouraging to
see the interest taken in horses. 1t
gives evidence that his most i'm
portant means of money making is
not being neglected by our farmers.

owners of fine cattle do not support
the county fair. 1t is indeed disap.

After Twenty Years

After Twenty years
His hosts Of friends were glad to-
greet Edward II. Joseph on the streets
of Astoria yesterday, after his three
months in Europe. He is looking
healthy and heart yand says he is glad
to be back in old Oregon, although
he enjoyed every mile and hour OF
his sojourn abroad. He had a dual
motive in going over the Atlantic; to-
attend to some important business tor
the big establishment OF which he is
manager, the +. Klevenhusen Co.'S cold
storage plant at Altoona;'and to visit
his old home, and his mother, whom
he has not seen since his boyhood, ~
wears ago, The latter feature OF the
Journey compensated for all else, and
he is devoutly glad he made the trip
in that behalf, as are, of course, his
mother and relatives in Colchester
England. Mr., Joseph visited Lonuoii'
Cambridge, Oxford, Colchester, Bre-
men and Berlin on the other side and
had business in Chicago and New
| York on this side. He finds the tsf
market generally dull, with more hsf
on hand than usual at this time o.
the year. The raw producer is lily
balanced as to quality, as tht
European markets requires, and this
he attributes to the unreliable source:
Of that supply, which, in this country
particularly, come primarily IRON the
hatcheries, source not nearly Sc
adequate nor generous in volumne, a.

believes to be the best and creates

REMINISCENT and. IN
TERESTINC FACTS
BIT OF PIONEER RAILWAY
HISTORY IN WHICH CYRUS
OLNEY AND ASTORIA FIG
URE CONSCIOUSLY.

The Astorian had the pleasure Of a
call yesterday from Joseph Castor,
now candidate for the Republican
nomination for Railroad Commis-
sioner Mr.. Caston's career makes
an interesting and important chapter
in the development Of the State, and
Is especially interesting to the people
Of Astoria on account OF his cffortsI
to make Astoria the Pacific Ocean,
terminus Of a transcontinental
railroad more than so years ago.
Judge Cyrus Qlncy, one OF the
founders Of this city, and Joseph Gas
ton-the caller Of yesterday-spent
the winter og 90 and 10 at Wash
ington City promoting congressional
action in aid OF railroad construction
in Oregon They succeeded in get
ting land grant in aid Of a railroad
from Portland to McMinnville with a
branch from the line at Forest Grove
through the Nehalem Valley to As
toria. Connected with that, and as
an integral part Of system Of rail-
roads to develop Oregon, it was
agreed by and between the parties
securing this grant that bill should
be introduced in Congress granting
lands in aid OF a railroad from the
Central Pacific Railroad at Winnie
mucca, in the State Of Nevada, to
Eugene City in Oregon. to be passed
al that session of Congress, and that
at the next ensuing Congress the
secured grant should be extended
from McMinnville to Eugene, thus
providing a connecting grant of pub
lie lands for a railroad from Winnie
mucca to Astoria and Portland, and
making Astoria one OF the Pacific
| Coast termini OF the transcontinental
Union and Central Pacific Railroad
systems. Upon that greement Coils
p. Huntington, the great financier OF
the Central and Southern Pacific sys-
TENS, entered into contract to
finance and secure the construction
OF the Oregon system. The parties
TO that contract we're B. ]. Pengra
president OF the Oregon Central Mil
itary Wagon Road Company; JOSEPH
CASTOR, president OF the Oregon Cen
trail Railroad Company; Cyrus Olney
representing the interests Of Astoria
Thomas Fitch, member of Congress
of Nevada, and Mr.. Huntington.
The bill for the land grant from
Winnemucca to Eugene was intro
duced in the Senate as agreed upon
but after being so introduced it wa
amended at the instance of Ben Hol
laday, then the owner of the Oregon
and California land grant, so as 4
require the road from Winnemucc;
to connect with the Holiday road II
the Rogue River Valley. That, Q
course, would prevent the Winnie
mucca line from connecting at Eugen'
with the grant to Astoria-and tina
amendment defeated the whole plar
and knocked Astoria out OF a con
nection with the railroads of tn
country for 80 years, because Mi
Huntington at once withdrew fror
his agreement to furnish the none
10 build the road from Winnemucc
, to Astoria. Holiday saw at ono
that ii Huntington was allowed t
build into Oregon he (Holladay
), would have to take back seat in tn
