officials, and the approval of the ship
ping board and the Emergency Fleet

its gigantic rail drydock-for that is
what the marine railway is-and with
in four months from this morning Mr..

the job completed and the marine
railway ready to take its first ship
out of the water for repairs.
C. O. Chrlsman. government engi-
neer. is in fun charge OF the ensi-
heering end of erecting the big boat
lift and the construction work will
be done with the plant and the crew
of the Astoria Marine Iron Works.
The marine railway will be the larg-
est in the country. 1t will be built at
u Cost OF SOOU,UOU ana Will nave dead

nection with the plant of the iron
works on Youngs Bay it will offer a
complete ship repair plant, the only
one between San Francisco and Pu-
get sound with the exception of those
in Portland.
Chief Engineer Crandall Speaks
Jas. L. CrandalI, the Boston engi-
reer who designed the Marine Rail-
way. says the site selected for it is
splendid one.
Mr.. Crandall was impressed with
the prospects for the development of
Bay. This body of water
will make a splendid harbor for in
dustrial plants,' he said. ENTIRELY
sheltered as it is. and with sites for
great industries ready to be develop
ed. it will be an ideal center for water
ront development. The prospects for
building up a fine plant at the Astoria |
Iron works property is unsur- |
passed. There is no limit to what can |
,e done there, for the property is un-
ncum bered by any buildings or re-
trictions. 1t will adapt itself well to [
! great ship repairing plant. such as
he company contemplates erecting.

Portland Bankers Praise
From Portland Telegram. May 81:
! Mr.. S. l.. Eddy, assistant cashier and
manager of Ladd & Tilton Bank who
visited Astoria this week. has this to
say about the city at the mouth of
the Columbia:
During my visit in Astoria ! was
very gratified to note the progressive
spirit OF the banks and citizens In that
community. and was very much inn
pressed with the present state of de-
velopment OF the port and the plans
which they have for the future, In
my trip across Young's bay was par
ticularly impressed with the possibili-
ties for development in that section.
The fact that one of the large indus
tries has already prepared a site in
that section for Its future develop
ment is sufficient evidence that there
is possibility of making that district,
which has lain more or less dormant
for many years a more active adjunct
to Astoria's present industrial activi-
ties.
Astoria is certainly to be congrat-
ulated upon its magnificent docks and
elevator system. which will be a great
factor in the development of that city
as an important wheat and flour dis
tributing point. as well as a great ma
val repairing station and rendezvous.

says:
The Columbia river improvements
have our careful attention. Members
of the committee, particularly those
who recently visited the Pacific ap-
preciate the need of adequate naval |
facilities there and I violate no con-
fidence when I say that we are going |

"You are bright, there is no mistake
about it," said his mate. Let's talk

eyes, said Mr.. Mountain Lion, I'VE
can commence by saying we know
who each other is!'
'sOf course we knew it before we
said it" smiled Mrs. Mountain Lion.
"WeT, it does no harm that some
times repeat what we know" said Mr..
Mountain Lion.
'Ah yes" said Mrs Mountain Lion,
at is quite harmless to do SO, and, too.
it is nice 1t is pleasant to talk over
our ways and habits and it is just like
big people talk over their business
plans and children over their school
or their games.
''We're the Puma family. the nice
family of handsome mountain lions"
eve are" agreed Mr.. Mountain
Lion, ''and we are quick and spry and
clever. We can run and move easily
and we can climb wonderfully.
"Oh, we're such good climbers !
We're the best climbers in the world
that is we're the best climbers of the
great cat family especially of the
big members of the family"
Eyes, that's right" said Mrs. Noun
tain Lion, "and not only can we climb
but we can swim. Oh. how we can
swim. We aren't going to be sense
less creatures when we come to a

That's right" said Mr.. Mountain
Lion, 'sbut water doesn't come in
pieces, my love, it comes in ponds and
lakes and streams and brooks and riv-

WELL" said Mrs. Mountain Lion, II
meant, Of course that when we came
to any pond or brook or lake or river
we would be able to swim in the wa
