The meeting last night and the
situation amounts to just this: -', of
the additional 8100,000 is subscribed:
waiting '-to see what others will do,"
is childish. Any ono who contem
plates subscribing should do so at
ence: talk like somo of that last night
only makes the thing appear ridicu
lous. A young man at Knappa had a sin

When Mrs. Fowlor, of 227 Ellis street",

LAST EVENING'S MEETING.
Some Yery Energetic Eemarks Made.
Rut Little Practical- Work Resultant.
The Western Amateur band were
out last evening livening up the
streets with some excellent music, and
at 8:15 marched to the opera house
where quite a number of citizens had
assembled. After some- rousing
strains, tho meeting was called to or
der by Dr. Alt Kinney, who stated
that tho object of the meeting was to
continue the work of securing the ad
ditional hundred thousand dollar sub
scription to the railroad stock.
He gave an account of the condition
of the subscription up to the present
hour, and introduced Judge Taylor,
who said though not prepared to
make a speech he would say that there
wa3 no doubt but that the road would
be built; that was a settled fact. On
Thursday morning he had been over
the graded part of the road from Skip
anon landing to the Gearhart place
and it would soon be graded to the San
ders place or old ocean house.
The contractors begun that day from
Skipanon to Young's bay: there is
very little of the ten miles jet to be
graded. The strip between Skipanon
and the commencement of the bridge
would soon be begun, the right of way
being almost entirely secured. Bids
for the material and construction of a
portion of the bridge had been adver
tised for, the idea being to have a point
as soon as possible built for passengers
to arrive at and depart from. About
35,000 ties, enough to lay 13 miles of
road are now at skipanon, and sulli-
cient iron, carsand locomotives are
now ordered to thoroughly equip 13
miles of the road.
The work is thus going ahead rap
idly: these works require effort which
has not been spared. Everyone was
now in earnest, and tho earnestness of
those engaged in the project helps to
make others earnest. People shouldn't
hold back, but aid in this work quick
ly and substantially. At Spokano
tails they recently raised 8130,
000 in threo days for rail
road purposes. One hundred men
could easily put up a thousand dollars
apiece, and a proper appreciation of
the benefits resulting from tho road
would cause the entire amount to be
taken at once. It is not simply a
question of a local read: the question
is, can you not aid in the construction
of a road to the Willamette valley?
The bridge across the bay could not
be built in time for this year's traffic,
but so much of the work as practicable
will bo built tliis season.
The speaker spoke of tho taking of
stock as no "gift;" it was an invest
ment, worth its par value, that would
in all likelihood bo at fifty per cent,
premium before it would be less.
The advent of another transconti
nental lino would make this not only
possible, but probable. In any event
the investment Is a sure one.
But if a man doesn't want to invest
his money he could buy a Seaside lot
from Noland Jc Thomson, and thus
aid in securing 815,000 to the com
pany; as well as get a good lot at the
Seaside.
The matter was n plain oue:the
question was this: Can we raiso a
hundred thousand dollars? There
can and should bo but one answer,
and that immediately in the affirma
tive Wo are sure of 12 or 13 miles of
road and it depends on onrselves if wo
shall have more.
hon. c. w. ruirox
Wai the next speaker. He expected
to be designated as the monumental
crank of the northwest on the rail
road question after awhile. He felt a
deep interest in this matter and wished
every man in Astoria had an abiding
lively interest in the rnilroad, because
this was a grand opportunity. Every
one should constitute himself a com
mittee of one to talk railroad, sub
scribe to the stock and get everybody
else that he can to do the same thing.
All we need is to work up a little
more enthusiasm and personal interest
in it.
The committee has been doing some
hard work, but telling the members of
the committee to "go see the other
fellow" won't build a road. The thing
is to subscribe yourself. He believed
the men of small means had dono
more proportionately than that those
who are justly- expected to be liberal
and public spirited on such an occa
sion as this.
The C. & N. Co. is coming to this
ceast: that company is behind tho
Oregon Pacific read: four C. &N. men
nre directors in the latter road. That
road was ostensibly directed to Ya
quina bay, but when it does go to Ya
quina what does it find: it will find tlie
necessity of having it come to Astoria.
So soon as wo build our road we are.
in a position to look towards such a
transcontinental line for complete
connection. We must work for this
as for everything else.
We must mark "Excelsior" on our
banners and march on to success, but
to do that requires effort, not sleepi
ness. The Seaside road is all right: it
is going to be built, but we want to
get n move on ourselves so that we
ean extend the road to tho Willamette
valley: to go ahead and keep up with
the procession, and extend our rail-
Toad not only to the Seaside, but on
to transcontinental connection with all
the world and the rest of mankind.
The speaker made an earnest appeal
for popular aid in this most worthy
project, which is to-day the most im
portant question before the people of
Astoria.
Wo want surveyors between hore
and the Willamette valley: we want
and need and should at once have rail
road connectien: and while tliis will
cost n little money, it will be to our
interest to work for it and make a
success of it.
DR. ALF. KISXEr
Then said we ought to talk business:
now was the time for those who had
not yet subscribed to do so, and called
for those who so desired to put down
their names. Seeing Col. Taylor in
tho audience he called upon that
gentleman for a few remarks; CoL
Taylor excused himself from making
a speech.
Dr. Alt Kinney- continued, and
after saying a little more, and that
Alsea Fox had contributed 8300, and
called on any of those present to do
as well, Dr. Kinney then called upon W.
W. Parker, who said he had put down
his name for $2,000; that his property
was mortgaged for every dollar that
it would bring under the hammer,
and if the road were built, he would
put down 85,000, he had 50 acres' on
the hill which he would give if others
gave proportionately. If large land
owners would stand in and give some of
their property, he thought those owning
much less, would give just is liberally
as any.
It was easy to talk buncombe; he
thought that Messrs. Taylor, Brown,
Shively and others could and should
put down the amount required to
build the road. Ho was doing all he
could to build up the town, and men
who never paid a cent toward aiding
the town took pleasure in calling him
a mossback.
JSe thought that men who owned
ground suitable for terminal facilities
should give liberally of such land for
such needed terminal facilities.
Men who had land should give land,
and men who had money should give
money and aid tho project in every
way possible.
CoL Taylor was again called for
and said that he would willingly do
his share: that he had made a propo
sition to the company regarding 8,000
feet of valuable water frontage on
what he deemed very favorable terms
to the cempany: that ho believed
he was doing as much as he could or
should, or all that should reasonably
be expected of him: he was willing to
do his share in building tho road and
had, he believed, subscribed liberally
in cash and land, and was willing to
do as much as possibly in his power
to help and further the building of
the road.
There were thoso whom the . road
would benefit as much as him, and they
also might with great propriety aid.
Dr. Kinney said they had secured
867,800: unless largo property owners
subscribed it was useless to go ahead:
820,000 would bo taken so soon as
other parties subscribe to whom many
are loeking: ho would bo pleased to
have some large property owner pres
ent say ho would take 85,000: ho had
heard a great many property owners
say that when Col. Taylor subscribed
they also would subscribe: if he would
subscribe S5.000, he was confident he
could get S20.000 more.
Col. Taylor rose again and said that
it was unnecessary to specialize him:
that there were others who should
move in theso matters as well as him
self. CAn. j. n. D. GRAY
Camo forward and said he had the
railroad project greatly nt heart and
had subscribed 8500 to the railroad
fund, and would put up one-third of
his land if anybody elso would put up
one-sixth of what they held. When
the road comes it will make land
owners here rich: and these are the
men that ought to come to the front,
because when the road was built these
largo land owners would be million
aires. Property should be put on the mar
ket. His land was Jot sale with a
price ou it. That is what all should
do, but thoy don't do it. It this land
wnsn t sold people ought to go else
where in this vicinity and start a new
town.
c w. FULTON
Made a live miunto speech which cov
ered the ground. He said this thing
of saying what you. would do if some-
ikxiv else would do was of no practical
avail. It a man says he will cive if
somebody else gives, he says that he
is able to give: for if he can give if
somebody else gives, why wait for that
somebody else: why not subscribe at
once like a man and bo done with it,
and not stay backing and filling and
idly saying what wonderful things he
would da if somebody else would only-
get m nrst and "do something.
Several came forward and doubled
their previous subscription, and the
meeting adjourned.
