RAILROAD
UNDER WAY

Astoria. Ore, Aug. 2.-That the
Astoria Southern Railway is prepar-
ing to extend its railroad to Astoria
as we'll as to Nehalem valley and
thence to a connection with the
United Railways line from Portland,
now appears certain.
This road, ostensibly built as
logging line, to tap the Western
Cooperage company's timber belt, is
really one of the best constructed
roads in the West. 1t was built on
a very low grade, with minimum
curves, no expense having been
spared to secure the best route pos
sfble. In its construction first-class
ties and heavy rails WE'RE used, and
the bridges were built of steel. No
one ever heard of building a logging
road so substantially, and this and
other circumstances have caused the
belief that the company owning it is
merely subsidiary to one of the big
transcontinental systems, probably
the Hill interests.
The road now extends from a point
on Young's river, near the mouth of
the Klatskanine for about eight miles
toward the summit, and large force
of men is now. clearing the right of
way'fo the extension to Nehalem--
A few days ago a three-months
option was taken on a tract of 2100
feet of water frontage close to the
mouth of the Skipanon river on the
west side of the bay. This option is
now said to have been taken in the
interest of the Astoria Southern. The
same persons have secured options on
water front property at the north
end of the county bridge across
Young's bay, and also on what Is
known as the Rierson farm, on the
west side of Young's river, imme-
diately opposite what is now the ter
minus of the road. Persons who ap-
pear to know, say the company plans
to construct a bridge across Young S
river at the mouth of the Klatskan-
inc, and to reach Astoria by crossing
Young's bay at the county bridge
thus avoiding the construction of an
other bridge at that pint, which the
United States engineers would prob,
ably object to. The line will theI
come around Smiths Point, con
Meeting with the main line of the
Spokane, Portland and Seattle, by
which it can easily reach this city
and the recent acquired frontage
across the bay.

WILL SOON
HAVE A fine
BOULEVARD

Work on the second link of the
boulevard to the state asylum and
the penitentiary was commenced this
morning when Contractor Kehrberg-
er with a crew of men began excav-
ating on Asylum avenue preparatory
to paving that thoroughfare.
The work on the first link was
commenced some time ago when
Governor West put a crew of con-
victs at work improving the highway
leading from the state penitentiary
to the asylum. The third link is
East State street, and the contract
for paving it with concrete has been
awarded and will probably be signed
in a few days. The Portland Rail-
way. Light & Power company is now
laying its track and is generally get
ting ready for the laying of the
pavement by the contractor. With
| the completion of these links there
will be a boulevard leading from the
CITY to the state prison and on tC
the asylum and back to the city by
another route.
Contractor Kehrberger has 2
record for fast and efficient work
and he stated this morning that the
work on Asylum avenue will be
rushed as fast as possible. There
are a few people who have failed tC
make their water connection on the
street in question and he is anxious
that they make them at once so tina
they will not interfere with thu
progress of the work.

BALDH FADED MEN.

Ignorance Of the Hair Causes Much
Badness Among Men.
Early piety doesn't cause badness,
neither does any kind of piety. Some
baldheaded men console themselves
with the idea that badness is caused
by superabundance of gray brain
matter, and would have the world be-
lieve that a baldhead is a sign of
great intellect.
Such, however, is not the case
Ninety-nine times in one hundred,
badness is caused by dandruff germs
which dig down deep into the roots
of the hair, destroy its vitality and
cause it TO fall out
All this may come gradually ana
take time, but as an up-to-date humor-
list would say, whats time to a dan

If you have dandruff, the little in
visible, persistent devils called dan.
druff germs are at work. Destroy
them at once, or sooner or later they
will cause your hair to fall out and
you will be compelled to take your
place in the baldheaded class.

And she makes the night time hideous
