Speeches Sarcastic and Otherwise Practical Remarks from J. C. TrnllinRtr. There was considerable of an aud ience gathed at Ross' opera house Jest evening. The Western Amateur band paraded through the principal streets Hinging fine music far and wide. By eight o'clock there was a general expectancy manifest on tlie races of all present, when Capt. J. H. D. Gray called the meeting to order. He suggested Sam'l Elmore for president: Mr Elmore declined: C. J. Trenchard nominated J. H. D. Gray, who was elected by acclama acclama teon: C. J. Trenchard was elected sec retary. The chairman invited several to come up on the stage. There was considerable or a collection of busi ness men in the rear of the auditorium, about half a dozen coining forward. Capt Gray said he supposed the object of the meeting was to devise ways and means to assist in building up the city: he thought times were dull, and he didn't believe that busi ness was good. The question had been discussed as to calling a meet ing to discuss measures of public interest. The first idea was to get people out, to get them together and nave them compare views. The chamber of commerce had done a good deal, but was hampered in its worn uy tne difficulty or securing ac tive membership. The question was how to assist business men in building up Astoria. Everything wa3 booming and prosperous elsewhere. Why haven't we prosperous times. We have superior location, but we do not pros per in proportion to our advantages. At this jnucture there was a call for S. Elmore. He said was in an awkward positien: he didn't know tho reason or object of the meeting. Astoria needs booming, but ho thoucrht the chamber of commerce was only a mutual admiration society that "did nothing except sit around and look at itself. There were real estate men who were holding big blocks of prop erty ui a nign price, as ior mm lie would do all he could to help things along, and if everybody else did as much wo would have a big boom. Ma.vorPage was then called for. He said that he was present in re sponse to a call without a signature, a call of which he Tinew nothing as to tho source from which it emanated or what it was for. He thought that all enterprises should go abend and be encouraged. Some individual en terprises had failed because of lack of brains, or lack of money, or beth: he had done all he could do to help things along and would continue to do so. He didn't know any tiling about this meeting: those present might pass a resolution raising the price of fish on the canners, or the price of logs on the sawmill men, or if anybody wanted to assist him in his pri vate business he would thankfully re ceive whatever they saw fit to bestow upon him. The secretary of the cham ber of commerce didn't know anvthincr about this meeting, how could it ben efit the tewn: we might go and pray to God Almighty to send us a bis run of fish: we might buy more grub from merchants and thus spend more money or do anything else we could think of to help things along. "If we had come together to" further politics it might have some sense, but as a business proposition the meeting was of no avail. Assessments are high, but when men die it is found that they have more property than they were assessed for. The mayor then asked his aud ience what they were going to do there in that meeting. "Have you any proposition? ' "Yes," said Gray, "let us form a stock company to build a railroad.How mnch will you take?" "A thousand dollars," said Page, "if you will take and pay for another thousand." "I haven't that much money here," said Gray. "Neither have I," said Page. The mayor then went into the his tory of the Clatsop road and construc tion company, and drew the conclu sion that tho apathy exhibited in that enterprise argued poorly for the probable success of tho railroad. If booms had such an effect on Astoria on Los Angeles, San Diego and other places he would rather see the boom stay away. ne was wuung 10 aia ana worg with any scheme or plan to help things along. The band played a tune and hvoned things upa little. Then C. W. Pulton, beine called for came forward. Capt. Gray said he was surprised to hear such a speech from the mayor of tho city: there was no politics or private feeling in the meeting: he was a candidate for the customhouse, but if Astoria didn't improve some he didn't want the place: he thought landholders and others should aid progress instead of appearing to want to retard it C. W. Fulton then made somo re marks. Ho hadn't yet heard of any suggestions but would like to hear some from somebody. He was will ing to stand in with the crewd: if they thought it would be well to move the town to Tanzy Peint: all right: he had no fault to find with Asteria: it suited him: he thought the town was all right: probably if he had the su premo regulation or tilings there were a few that he would like to regulate. but, probably those few entertained the same luea aoont mm, so it was a stand-off. We ought to improve our oppor tunities even if we didn't get tip an Ocklahoma boom. The location is all right: he had "been waiting since the spring of 1874 for a railread: hadn't seen it yet Any one who wants to help the road should subscribe stock. That ought to be put through, don't talk but act; property is no good ex cept it is used: except something is done with it The taxes aro too high: the assessment is' too low. A ohange should be made. "-Strangers wonder at the high assessment but don't know anything of the very low valuation. He -didn't know anything about the meeting either: hadn't come about offices or politics; suggested that committees be appeinted: was willing to he! p all he could to advance the city's best interests: there is plenty money, plenty work and general presperity: all we need to do is to pull together. Then C. R Thomson stood up and said he and Geo. JXoland had some good lots at the Seaside, and as soon as they were sold the railroad com pany would have 15,000 cash to spend. Then the band played another tune, and a motion by C. R. Thomson to appoint a committee of three to solicit subscriptions to tho Astoria and South Coast road was carried. The chair said he would appoint the committee at some future tune. He thought that committees should be appointed on railroads, transporta tion, real estate, taxation, commerce, manufactures, advertising, location, etc Then the band played another tune. Ex-mayor Trullinger was the next speaker. He was the only one of the lot that had anything to say that had much go to it He struck out in a rattling good speech: he thought that the way todo was to get the "Minneapolis move:" to get in and rustle: not to stay shiver ing and waiting on the bank, but to plunge in: 'quit crying about the need of outside capital: build the railroad to the Seaside, and then point to the Nehalem, and make money. Build the road to big timber: put some life into things: there is more money in the completion of the Aatoria and South Coast road than any similar enterprise on the coast A railroad to the Nehalem would give this town a permanent life that nothing else could, or would. The lumber business is on the up grade: it will soon be the lead ing business here. Millions lay in the completion of the road to the south of us. This could be made the finest lumber market on tho coast We have tho logs, the water, tho site, the op portunity. Allweneedis a little en ergy. There is lots of money in As toria; enough to build the road five times over. There are plenty of men who can bet $500 on a cock light, or a prize fight, or a horse race; they could just as easy put up $500 railroad subscription and make thousands out of the investment Suppose we had half a dozeu saw mills here, each employing 100 men, that would mean an addition of 2,500 to the city. The three mills here now aid greatly in keeping money in cir cir culateon: he believed they were pro portionately as good as the canneries: he would like to see or hear of a can ner who had invested tho money he had made in the canning business in Astoria property. Sawmills, wher ever located distribute money and make times lively, great cities have been and will be built up by the lum ber business: it he had two years more of average success he would build half of it himself: he now had a good railroad and good rolling stock with which he could carry 15 M feet logs in fifteen minutes to his road's ter minus. There are men in the city who have grown here: spent all their lives here, who never went five miles in the woeds: what we need is energy, pluck, confidence, not to set around smoking cigars all day and part of the night and telling people what ought to be done. There was too much advice now. People want to be stirred up: they want to get "the Minneapolis move on them:" men coming in here hew out homes in the wilderness and do more to cultivate and civilize the country than those who are spending their days and their years in talk and trying to get in tne way or people who want to work and make Astoria amount to something. "For Gods sake." said the speaker. "if you don't want to help, don't hinder those who do." He went on and let in some interesting light on helps and hindrances and how much it some times costs men for right-of-way, etc.. and thought it wasn't wise to always wait to have a cow come along and back up to be milked. Then the band played another tune' and J. Q. A. Bowlby said that the object of the meeting was to give peo ple who don t ordinarily attend bus iness meetings an opportunity to .be present: that the idea was to discuss ways and means of aiding tho general welfare ot tho city: that it the meet ing had been hold in the chamber of commerce rooms a great many couldn't get in: that in holding the meeting in so large a building as the opera house everybody who felt so in clined could have a chance to partici pate. He moved that the committees sug gested by the ohair be so appointed. The motion was carried. On motion of C. W. Fulton a vote of thanks was extended the Western Amateurband for their courtesy and liberality in furnishing music. Un motion or the chairman a vote of thanks was tendered L. E. Selig for the use of the hall. Then the band played another tune. Then everybody who was there went away. Epoch. Tho transition from long, lingering and painful sickness to robust health marks an epoch in the life of the indi vidual. Such a remarkable event Is treasured in the memory and the agency whereby the good health has been at tained is gratefully blessed. Hence it Is that so much is heard in nraise of Elec tric Bitters. So many feel they owe their restoration to health to the use of the Great Alterative and Tonic. 1 f vou are troubled with any disease of the Kidneys.

The human race affords in itself a most singular study. There are among the many class of thinkers, those who repose too much confidence in others, too little confidence in themselves, or no confidence in anything. The man who knows it all himself, the man who thinks somebody else knows it all and the man who thinks he knows who knows it all. The egotist, the simpleton and the skeptic. Rec ognizing the fact that people require more substantial evidence than mere words and promises, Drs. Damn re sort to the most legitimate method of advertising themselves by advertising their cures. That those among the community may be afforded an op portunity of investigating before call ing in person upon the doctors, the following testimonials are published bearing evidence of the doctors' ability and skill as well as success. SOKE EYES RESTORED. Editob Astobiak, Dear Sir: I have for over eight years been troubled with mx eyes.

Editor Oregenian: For four months past my wife has been serious ly afflicted with rheumatism in her arm. For weeks at a time she never knew what it was to have a good night's sleep, and only from Bheer ex haustion could she rest from the effects of pain. All my friends tried to persuade me not to go to Drs. Darrin because they advertised. I did go, however, and found to my sur prise a man who possessed more skill and knowledge of her case than any I had applied to. His charges were reasonable and my wife is cured. Thanks to Drs.
