They visited Los Angeles, Pasadena,
San Diego, and like most travellers
who go to the latter city, also made
a trip over the Mexican line to the
little town of Tri Juana While it
has rained much in Southern Cali
fornia this winter, Mr.. Gimre said
there were many fine days, and he
comes back rested and delighted with
the journey. Mr.. and Mrs, Andrew
Young left at the same time the
Gimres did, but they parted at San
Francisco, and did not see each 9th
er until last Tuesday. On that day
the Gimres were up on Mount
Lowe, mountain a mile high just
back of Pasadena, and to their mutual
surprise, while UP there they met
Mr., and Mrs. Young. They are COM
ing home slowly, and expect to be
here in a week or two Benjamin
Young, and his daughter, Wilma, are
still in Southern California, and it is
said are likely to remain for a month

The repeated assurances Of r. l..
Evans, the promoter Of the enter
prise, are now justified by the facts
that have come to light in relation
to the matter, and while there are
sometimes slips betwixt the cup and
lip, il now appears as il the million
or more in money required for the
construction Of the complete line
is simply awaiting the time when it
may be applied, So often has As
toria. in common with many other
towns Of the Northwest, been disap-
pointed 10 like matters, that the local
men interested In the plan may per-
haps be forgiven for the lurking
doubts that may have come TO them
at times. But the doubts and fears
now seem TO be all dissipated by the
shining lot Of gold that seems all
ready to be poured into the enter
prise.
At meeting Of the directors Of

The news comes up from Warren
ton that the high tides Of yesterday
wrought additional damage to the
