Railroad Notes
HARTMAN ROADS
TO BUILD WEST
IMPROVEMENTS IN NORTH PAcI-
FIG STATES WILL COST
ABOUT $4,35o,oo0.

Chicago, May 8.--An extensive pro-
gramme has been mapped out by
Hartman officials for construction
work In the north Pacific states DUR
ing the coming summer. The estimates
of the cost of this work contemplates
the expenditure of at least $4,350, 900.
What is considered the most impor-
tant of the new enterprises to be un-
dertaken Is the completion of what is
known as the TiIlamook line. for
which $2,000,O00 has been appropriated.
When completed this line VIII give
Portland direct connection with the
coast country that now has but inter-
mittent service by steamers.
Nineteen Tunnels Through Mountains.
Contracts still have to be let for
twenty seven miles to complete this
line. These will cover the most diff :
cult construction work In this twenty
seven miles will be no less than nine
teen tunnels through the coast noun
tains, and other parts of the work is
of the heaviest description. This un-
completed part of the road runs
through the heart of the coast range,
and heavy cuts and fills will have to
be made.
High bridges will have TO be built
across mountain streams. Most of the
work TO be done is through rocky
country. and other difficult obstacles
will have to be overcome in the COM
pletion OF the road.
In addition TO this the main line OF
tha Oregon Naviration Cas- road ha-
tween the DalIes and UmatilIa Is to
be rebuilt and greatly improved. AS
1t stands, this road between the points
named is exceedingly crooked and far
from being up TO the requirements Of
a modern railroad. The improvements
contemplated will cost not less than

THEORY ADVANCED THAT ed

ON SOCIETY.

The theory was advanced this morn
Ing by atty. T. H. McEnroe, who was
appointed by Judge Chas. A. Pollock
to defend Edward w. Simpson, the
colored man charged with murder in
the first degree that the man who shot
Charles Clark was mentally irrespon-
sible. The attorney holds that Simp-
SON was worked up to an unnatural
state by being held in the county Jail
after Dean had escaped; that he was
practically maniac when given his
liberty. 1t is stated that he paced the
Jail with something on his mind which
he was apparently studying in the
deepest fashion.
That he was ostracized by his own
people will doubtless be shown by the
defense, tending to sour him on soci-
ETY.. Attorney McEnroe is making a
study of the case and is satisfied that
strong case will be made.

THE UsEABLE STREET


We trust the present year will wit
ness no such contretenps in street
Improvement as the Irving Avenue
episode Of last year; and while we arr
at it. Il may as well be said now that
public opinion in Astoria is sharply
in favor of dealing only with streets
that are useable and that street i'm
provements generally shall be re-
stricted to those that are to be of i'm
mediate and distinct service; the rest
can wait.
Astoria is growing; but not so
swiftly that she is climbing over her
unimproved thoroughfares, and the
taxpayers have quite enough to 10
this year without taking up the unes-
sential burden Of visionary street
buildings. There are some things very
necessary in this line. but the range
OF those necessities is not wide nor
costly, and 1909 should be a banner
economic year in comparison with the
years that have gone. When the hour
strikes for big and universal improve
ment there will be plenty Of lines and
material to work upon; none Of it will
get away in the meantime, and the
husbanding Of the taxpayers re-
sources now may rebound to the
wider and more needful scale of enter
prise then.

NEW ERA OF SMUGGLING

Now that the civilized world has
practically united to crush out the
dreadful curse Of opium eating and
smoking, it is to be expected that the
old-time craft Of opium smuggling
will be revived and the preventive en-
ergies Of the nations re-awakened to
meet it. But we opine that it will be
of a very different character, both as
to the deed and the systems of de-
lection and reprisal. The old semi
romantic courses will not figure in the
new regime; there will be no slow and
dubious methods used on either side;
there viii be plenty of snap, plenty CT
fine art" plenty of cleaverness, to
mark the resumption Of the traffic; for
in this day and age, with all the agen-
cies for silence, expedition and as
surance, all the old clumsy methods
will have to be abandoned and plans
made and followed to match the ex.
igencies of up-to-date alertness. 1t
