THE MORNING ASTORIA N, ASTOTUA, OREGON.
TIMELY SUGGESTION
Plan Formulated Whereby Court
House May Be Built.
COUNTY TO LEASE PROPERTY
Company of Local Capitalitt to Be
Oraanixed to CompUU tho Court
House, th County Court to Ltat
Property and Pay Nominal Rental.
The plan suggested by The Astorlan
to build and complete the new county
court house has excited considerable
toterest and a number of local capital
ists have signified their willingness to
put up the necessary money to conv
plete the building bn certain condi
tions, and in accordance with the Ideas
advanced by The Astorlan.
i A representative of The Astorlan
yesterday Interviewed a prominent
capitalist, who has sufficient means to
back up any agreement he makes, the
owner of considerable property, one of
the heaviest tax payers In the county
and, who has considerable Influence,
In financial circles and is in a position
to bring capital to Astoria, who made
the following suggestions:
The organization of a company to
say, ten men, of whose financial stand
ing there Is no doubt, with a capital
stock of $75,000. The county court to
lease the present court houes property
to the company, which they1 would
have a legal right to do, for a sufficient
term of years, during which time the
'county court is to levy an annual tax
of three mills, to pay the Interest and
create a sinking fund to take up the
Indebtedness. The organization to se
' lect an architect, modify the present
plana, so as not to change the building
except to cut off considerable unneces
sery work and decorations; finish the
building in a neat and plain manner,
similar to the Interior finishing of the
nf w citv hall, the buildlnar completed. I
ander revised plans not to cost to ex
ceed $75,000.
- When the building is completed, the
county Is to pay a rental of six per
cent on the cost of completion, pay
able annually, and the money derived I
from the annua tax levy to be paid
to the company as a reduction of the
amount Invested, which would reduce
the annual rental In proportion to the
amount paid. Payments of $5000 or
lie.OOO a year to be . made from the
sinking fund, or the fund derived from
the annual tax levy,' In this manner
the court houes can be completed, this
year. The rent paid to the company
would be the same as the interest
which would have to be paid on the
county warrants issued for its con
struction, and it is believed the court
tioues can be completed with the ad
ditional $75,000 in addition to th
amount already expended.
The lease from the county court to
the building organization to provide
that it can be terminated at the option
of the county court upon the payment
of the cost of construction. If the as
sessed valuation of the county Is
placed at $5,000,000 a levy of 3 mills
annually for six years would be suf
ficient to pay the rent on the property
and discharge the principal within
that time and Clatsop county would
have a court house that would be an
ornament and credit to the county and
would last at least as long as the
present structure has lasted 50 years.
Several other prominent tax payers
vere interviewed on ten subject, and
without a single exception, all agreed
that the plan was leasable, and several
signified their willingness to go Into
ibe company and tnke their propnr
tlonute share of the stock, H the
nrpsetit contractors want to go Into
the company, on the same terms, the;
can do so. The Astorlan' has no au
thority to mention names f persons
that would be willing to organise
company, but It suggests the following
whom it Is believed would b willing
to come to the aid of the county and
compile the court house, proved
the plans are modified and the cost
Joes not exceed the sum of 75.00t.
The names suggested are Asmus Brlx
C. H. Page. S. 8. Gordon, Chat, 8.
Brown. Geo, C. FlaveL A. C. and P. A
Ftfhar. Robert Carruth'em Tnteo.
Bracker, Samuel Elmore and C.
Fulton.
It might not be necessary for these
gentlemen to advance money, but there
is no doubt arrangements could bs
made at any of the banks to advance
the necessary money, upon the guar
antee of the organisation to be formed.
the banks to receive the per cent
rent each year, which would be equlv
alent to the Interest
This plan has been suggested by
several capitalists who have signified
their willingness to organise the com
pany, and the matter Is now up to
the county court to signify Us willing
ness to accept the proposition herein
outlined, and It is probable that
communication will be addressed to
the county court setting forth thes
terms for Its consideration at Its meet
ing next Wednesday, There M no
doubt but the court house can be
built. All that is required is a de
termination on the part of the enter
prlMng cltixens to use their utmost en
deavors to encourage and formulat
the plans herein outlined.

W. R. Mcintosh, -who? place of te."-
Idence Is at 593 Harrison avenue, says-
For years I suffered very much from
lameness and soreness across the
small of my back. To turn in bed gave
me painful twinges and when I was
;not working, but simply standing
around there was a constant aching
over my hips. The kidney iecretinns
gave me no end of trouble I .rtit
thought I had gravel, so painful were
the secretions In passing. I read about
Doan's Kidney Pills and got a box at
Charles Roger's drug store on Com
mercial street. On taking them I soon
noticed an improvement In my .condi
tion and the pain across my back was
soon wonderfully relieved. Though I
did not take Doans Kidney Pills as
regularly as I should have done they
did me a great deal of good.'

iiOVE TO JERSEY
fhe Ntw York Legislature Forces
Wall Street to Abdicate
ANYTHING GOES IN JERSEY
Company Has Been Organized for
What Is Termed Branch of Wall
Street to Operate Under the Non
Restrivtive Laws of New Jersey.
New York, April 2$. Considerable
Interest has been created here by the
Incorporation at Trenton of the New
Jersey stock exchange. While th
new concern admittedly has for Its
object the evasion ol the stock trans
fer tax law, Just passed by the New
York legislature, the identity of the
Interests behind the schome cannot be
learned.
The incorporators' names give no
clew as they are merely employes of
struct company In East Orange. It
Is reported, however, that persons
identified with two large financial In
stitutions In New York are prominent
in the move In connection with other
New York City and New Jersey finan
cial men. whose Identity will be dls-
losed later.
Membership in the exchange will
not, according to present plans, be
onflned to representatives of an
single board In this city, aa had been
suggested when the scheme was first
broached. Hence the attitude of the
New York, stock exchange Is awaited
with considerable Interest, as that body
has strenuous rule against its mem
bers having anything to do with deal
Ings on certain other exchanges and
has vigorously enforced these rule;
from time to time.
There Is nothing In the constitution
of the stock exchange, however, to
prevent Its members belonging to an
exchange In another state, evet If
there be onlya river between the two
boards. Member of both the New
York stock exchange and the Concil
iated stock exchange belong to the
Philadelphia exchange and to the Chl-
ago board of trade; so the backers
the New Jersey exchange believe
lint the New York stock exchiuige will
not forbid dealings there by Its members.
