ASTORIA. OREGON:
WEDNESDAY ..SEPTEMBER 7, 1S87
THE PROPOSED SUBSIDY.
A committee has been selected by
the chairman of the chamber of com
merce to take into consideration the
best means to raise the 8150,000 sub
sidy. Positive assurance is made by
railroad men in San Francisco that if
that much money is raised and suita
ble grounds donated for depot, round
houses, machine shops, etc, that the
road -will be built inside of a year. A
year seems too shert: the language of
the resolution adopted by the cham
ber of commerce last Monday night
says eighteen months, which is more
reasonable.
With this as a tangible basis there
need be but little difficulty in raising
the required amount. It is not a
gift Not a cent of it is required or
expected till the" road is completed.
The question is not "How much will
my neighbor give?" It is "How much
will the road benefit me?" and give
accordingly. This is a selfish, view,
'tis true, but pocket interests largely
govern in these affairs. If a man is
benefited 85,000 by the road coming
here he can well afford to give one of
those thousands to the project that is
going to benefit him five times the
amount especially if he won't or
can't make that 85,000 any easier way.
The beginning of the road would
be the beginning of the enhancement
of value; not till the road, was fin
ished would the money contributed
be expected. .
The Astobian favors and encour
ages this with more force than two or
three other plans formerly proposed,
because it comes with greater posi
tiveness and precision than its pre
decessors. The committee consists of the fol
lowing gentlemen: Geo. Flavel, Jno.
A. Devlin, C. "SV. Fulton, Jas. -Taylor,
L W. Case, C. H. Page, J. O. Han
thorn, B. Van Dusen, "W. AV. Parker,
J. W. Welch, J. C. Trullinger, Jno. F.
McGovern, C. W. Shively, D. IL War
ren, A. H. Stone.
They are requested to meet at the
rooms of the chamber of commerce
at 7:30 this evening to organize.
m
FILLING A WANT.
r When the"Northern Pacific Express
company supplanted Wells, Fargo &
Co.'s Express company, that company
withdrew from Pacific county, W. T.,
in common with other points in this
vicinity. The .Northern Pacific peo
ple put on no express pouches into
Pacific county, greatly to' the incon
Tenience of Pacific county and As
toria. -Now in the mutations of rail
road management the Northern Pa
cific Express company has, in turn,
given way to its successor, the Pa
cific Express company, which has
been put by the Union Pacific rail
road company on its leased lines.
ThuB far it has not taken any steps
toward doing express business in Pa
cific or Chehalis counties, and, it
appears, does not propose to take any.
It is in the line oHrasiness to direct
the attention of the company to this
matter for it is one of importance to
Astoria. Our banks and merchants
have daily business with Hwaco,
Oysterville, Shoalwater Bay, Monte
sano, and Gray's Harbor. The. oys
ters, lumber, etc., in that region make
business, and Astoria is the principal
place of business for that region. If
the Pacific express company doesn't
care 6r choose to establish -offices or
tend to the business, it may be that a
local express company incorporated
here and owned and operated by Clat
sop, Pacific and Chehalis county busi
ness men would be in order.
The state board of immigration has
suspended for want of funds. It
was created by the legislature of 1885,
which provided funds for two years,
but the legislature which met last
January made no further appropria
tion. It never did this part of the
state much service, but it helped the
state in general as any institution of
the kind is sure to do, no matter how
it is managed, and it is not in the line
of progress to abandon such an enter
prise just as it had got fairly started.
It is but fair to say that nothing but
the private subscriptions of Portland
merchants kept it alive for the last
six months of its existence.
Bobert T. Lincoln, an estimable
resident of Chicago, "is quoted in the
Toledo Blade as saying that he does
not want the presidency of the United
States. You should recollect, Bobert,
that it is manners to wait to be asked.
A Gift fer All. c
In order to give all a chance to tett it,
and thus be convinced of its wonderful
curative powers, Dr. King's New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds, will be, for a limited time, given
away. This offer is not only liberal,
but shows unbounded faith in the mer
its of Uiis great remedy.- All who suf
fer from Coughs, Colds, Consumption,
Asthma. Bronchitis, or any affection of
Throat, Chest, or Lungs, are especially
requested to call at W. E. Dement & Cos
Drug Store, and get a Trial Bottle Free,

San Fbancisoo, September 5. J. E.
Shephard, local agent of the North
ern Pacific Bailroad company, re
turned to the city last night from a
week's visit advertising the company
in Southern. California. He stated to
a Postal Press representative this af
ternoon that he met many eastern
tourists while south, a large number
of whom signified their intention of
coming north and observing the re
sources of Oregon and Washington
territory and proceed homeward over
the Northern-Pacific "It's somewhat
surprising," continued Mr. Shephard,
"but nevertheless it is true that an
exodus of real estate men is about to
take place from Los Angeles and
other cities in the original boom coun
try. You see, the boomers' edge is
kind of dull at the present time down
there and these men are 'going to
sharpen a new one in the north.
Why, fifteen men who made fortunes
in tne real estate business in Pasade
na came up with me last night and at
the end of this week or the beginning
of next they will take in Portland,
Seattle and other northern cities, do
some booming and then visit Yellow
stone National Park. Eastern people
who come to Southern California
nowadays I find are not satisfied un
til they also have a look at the north
ern country as well."
Three Favorites
Have the following to say of Wis
dom's Bobertine, the great beautifier
and preserver of the complexien:
PomxAND.-Or., Juno 4, 1837.
ToMr.W. M. Wisdom Dear Sir: I
have tried your Bobertine. It is excellent,
and I shall be pleased to recommend it
to all my lady friends. Believe me,
yours truly, . Rhea.
Pobtland. Dec, 1885.
To"Mr. W. M. "Wisdem: The "Bober
tine you so kindly sent me is excellent.
It is the finest preparation I have ever
used, and is a decided acquisition to
every Jady's toilet. Yours truly,
Jeankie Winston.
Pobtland, Or., April C, 1887.
Dear Mr. "Wisdem: I have tried your
"Bobertine," and it gives me much
pleasure to say that it is excellent for

The New Bar Schooner.
The new Columbia bar schooner
Q. C. Wliite, nrrived in yesterday
evening with pilots Ganderson, Sta
pies and Johnson aboard, eleven days
from San Franisco. and docked at
Flavel's wharf, where a good many
went down to 9ee her. She is a very
neat model, has wide decks, and is
nicely fitted up below. She is 87 feet
over all, 22 feet beam and draws
about 10 feet She is 73.51 tons
burthen, and cost about 811,500 com
plete. She has two masts, the fore
mast OS feet long, the main, 70 feet.
From the latter extends a boom about
55 feet long which carries consider
able canvas. The pilots express them
selves as being entirely pleased with
her seagoing qualities and say that
with a fair wind she 'can make ten
knots- an hour. She has about 40
tons pig iron ballast. The crew re
port heavy weather all the way up.
Pilot Staples says on her trial trip
in San Francisco bay she just walked
away from the Allen and other fast
sailers.
Some "Who Jumped On Him When He "Was
Down.
New York, Sept 5. It seems to be
the general impression here that Yil
lard's acquisition of Oregon railway
stock will result in nothing more than
his election as a director of the Ore
gon companies. Others say that Yil
lard will succeed Elijah Smith as
president of the Oregon Transconti
nental. Northern Pacific people con
tinue indifferent Tho principal con
cern seems to be among those now
holding high places in the Oregon
and Northern Pacific who jumped on
Villard when he was down.

acter and suggests culpable disregard
of the teachings of experience.
The News says it is safe to say
that one effect of this awful disaster
will be a general law governing the
construction and management of
public places throughout the king
dom. After this terrible accident
and that of the Opera Comique in
Paris, we ought, surely, to require uo
more such warning.
A COTOTER EFFORT.
Dublin, Sept. 6. MessrB. Dillon

A TERRIBLE DEATH.
London, Sept. 6. The victims of
