At nine last night the grand ball at the opera house was attended by a delighted concourse who thoroughly enjoyed themselves. To-day will be devoted to business and this evening there will be a clam supper and other entertainments. "Railroad Meeting,") from 3rd Page. tion between ABtoriaand Portland for tho buying of that grain profitable to the farmers of western Oregon. But whether you or Portland will do this ship ping business in the future depends en tirely upon the energy and vigor of your selves, because the government break water will benefit both cities equally, remember, in the race for shipping to foreign ports. To the owners of the As toria and South Coast railway, their local traffic will be secured from the ce dar, fir, piuo and inexhaustible timber, coal and iron resources to whichever city these are transported as our average haul will be equal distance to either place, while the general merchandise, freight, passenger and summer travel to Clatsop seaside resorta and to and from Astoria from Willamette valley and Portland will follow anyhow. True, As toria, by the construction of the Astoria and South Coast Eailwaywill bo made the northwestern Pacifio terminus of Oregon's greatest seaport and largest harbor and from thence an unbroken Pacific railroad connection will follow from Astoria to the Gulf of Mexico to New Orleans and to every state and city in the union, and it is the realization and honor of accomplishing this great event for Astoria which has personally spurred me on (nevertheless considerable opposition from interested sources) to undertake the construction of your road, but you must bear in mind that unless your citi zens before the road is finished, bestir themselves to increase and develop man ufacturing and other industries in Asto ria, for which you have every advantage, with the raw material at your doors, and shipping ready to distribute same abroad and the railway to distribute these products in the interior of this state, you cannot hope for building a great city like either Seattle, Tacoma or Portland without individual action. Re ferring you to tho details of the secre tary's financial report of the company's operation, and to the chief engineer's re port, both hereto attached, of the con struction and expenditure upon and for your roadbed to 1st October last, 1 remain Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, Wit.ltam Reii, President. At the conclusion of the. report, a motion by "S. Elmore that the report be filed and made part of the minutes of the meeting, was seconded and car ried. The secretary then read EKGIXKER TUIELSON'S KErOBT. Astohia, Oct. 7th, 18S1). To the President and Board of Directors of the Astoria and South Coast Rail way Co.: Gentlemen: At tho close of the first fiscal year of this company, I beg leave to lay before you the following brief re port of what has been accomplished in the work of construction between Astoria aud the Ocean House. Having been appointed by you to the office of chief engineer and superintend ent, I began the preliminary survey in September 1888, and in October had com pleted the location of the road from tho foot of "Washington street, in Astoria, to the north line of the Holladay property at Seaside, a distance of 18 miles. The work of securing rights of way fol lowed, and while in many cases they were cheerfully donated, in others the work was attended with unexpected diffi culty, considering tho benefit the build ing of the road would prove to tho conn try traversed by it. Tho right of way, however, was finally secured from and over Trullinger's prop erty, in Astoria, to the Holladay line at a cost of $1,935.30. Application was made to congress for the nght to build bridges across Young's bay and Skipanon creek; but afterwards, in view of recent decisions of the su preme court, to the effect that the state had exclusive jurisdiction over navigable waters wholly within her boundaries, it was deemed advisable to apply to the state legislature, which was done, and an act passed and approved by the, governor. In pursuance of the requirements of this act, maps and plans of tho location of the bridges were submitted to a commis sion appointed by the county court of Clatsop county, receiving their approval, and tho maps were filed with tho secre tary of state, together with a formal ac ceptance of the act by the board of di reotors of this company. Contracts wero let for clearing the right of way through the Skipanon woods to Lund, Fitje & Co., and to the Portland Macadamizing & Paving Co., for grad ing, grubbing and clearing ten miles from Skipanon creek southwardly, reach ing to the Gearhart woods; contracts were afterwards lot to Chas. H. Ewing for grading between the west shore of Young's bay and Skipanon creek and to W. H. Parker for clearing and grading from the end of the ten miles graded by the P. M. & P. Co., to the Ocean House. These contracts have all been completed. Contracts for 3"i,000 cross ties have also been filled and the ties delivered and piled alongside of a half-mile of track from the south side of Skipanon creek, the rails for which wero purchased and laid for that purpose. Tho contract for furnishing piles for the trestle work between Young's bay ohannel and Skipanon creek was let to L. Michaels, and tho piles have nearly all been delivered. A contract for pile-dj-iv-ing and completing the trestlework be tween Young's bay channel and the Ocean House was let to Thos. G. David son, of East Portland, under which up to this time he has driven the piles and par tially completed the trestle for half a mile from tho west shore of Young's bay towards the channel, and has only about one hundred piles to drive between Young's bay and Skipanon creek, and has all the piles driven between Skipa non creek and the Ocean House. All important contracts havo been submitted to public bidding, and in all cases have been let to the lowest bidder. Arrangements having been made for tue delivery o our track materials upon our own cars at Skipanon. 1 had an in cline and landing prepared where on the 2nd of this month a locomotive and 7 cars loaded with 135 gross tons of 50 pound-steel rails were received and a carload of fastenings arriving on the 4th, track laying was begun on the dayfol lowing. A water tank of 25,000 gallons capac ity has been purchased and will be erected at once at Skipanon where a well has already been dug. Tho power for operating this pump will be furnished by a twenty foot wind mill, the contract for furnishing andereoting which has been let to the Paoifio Mfg Co.Portland. Arrangements for ample terminal grounds have been made with Col. Jas. Taylor, who has agreed to convoy title to grounds at Smith's Point, having a frontage of about of a mile on the Young's bay channel and almost a mile on the Columbia river ship channel and covering an area of nearly 400 acres. Title to this property will be conveyed in consideration of $2o,uou of tue capi tal stock of this company whenever the road shall reach the Willamette valley. I am happy to say that only in one item has tho cost of constructio"h so far exceeded my original estimate and that consists of engineering and office ex penses, and is attributable to the length of time the work has been going on. 1 submit herewith tho details of ex penditures incurred in tho work of con struction, up to the first day of the pres ent month.

Mr. Holden's reKrt was accepted. First vice-president F. J. Taylor then said that tile next business was to an nounce the names of those stockholders who had a right to vote, having paid as sessments on their stock, and that an election of a now board of directors to take tho place of the retiring board was next in order. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS.
