It is a good plan where ever the land is below the sidewalk to erect a raihuc This has been done in one place lelween lain and Benton s-troets, where lefore several people have accidentally stepied oil. There are localities that need a like improve ment. It is amusing to listen to lhese real otatelKKimers of towns over in Wash ington. iSomeof them who do not own an acre in their own names talk of baying this and that properly for ten or twenty thousand dollars, and try to give the impression that without their aid the town will be no good. Since th recent boar story pub lished iii the Astokiav, relating the experience Mr. S. M. Henry, like tales have been numerous among those who are out prospecting so much. Were these all to be published, people would le indeed surprised to learn how many mighty Ximrods we have among us. Several gentlemen, who have re cently come to town and who have friends among the numerous survey ors and timber locators, have just been taking their first experience in the bnisli. They do not think it quite .is comfortable as a hotel but evidently enjoy it enough so that they are ready to go agaiu. Can I case up these elk horns in the back room!:" asked Chas. Davis of Fred Grosbauer in the latter s saloon yesterday. "Cert," said Fred; "go ahead." He went ahead, got the big branching olkhorns nicely boxed up, and found he couldn't iret the case through any of the doors. Ho had to uncase the antlers, and says next time he'll hire Liberty hall. E. G. Siephans has brought suit against his wife Isabella Stephans for divorce. They were married in Oak land. California. Of late "Mrs. Steph ans has refused to live or have any thing to do with "Mr. Stephans. lie claims that he has always treated her kindly and that she has no cause for snch action. As she still maintains this position he sues for divorce. "Max Wagner has been sued by V. A. Cook for failure to pay money lent ldm by the latter. The plaintiff claims that on August G, 1SSG, the de fendant gave him a promissory uoto to pay $100 within six mouths from date, for value received. This he has never done. He, the plaintiff, also lent Wagner $10 which has not been paid. The plaintiff therefore sues for $110 with interest and costs. The success of the party Friday night proves one thiug. If a vigorous movement is made, headed by two or three hustling young men, a success ful ball can be given. It Isn't just the right thing, however, for so many to hold back and let a few only put Hi? matter through. There are enough young people in town to sus tain a party every month at least. Xo one who attended the other night can fail to appreciate tho enjoyment and lencfit of these occasions. PERSON A Ii 31 F.XTI ON. V. I. Adair is pine on a visit to the Willapa. Chas.

IT H'.I.V TO TACITLY EX I'll ESS A Vote of Confidence In tho Present Board of Directors of the Astoria and South Coast Hallway Co. The call for last night's meeting of tho stockholders of the Astoria and South Coast Railway Co., designated the company's office as the place of meeting. Bnt'as it was manifest that that was ioo small, it was sought to have the meeting in the chamber of , commerce looms. Some, however, ex- j pecloratc on the carpets, though they expect to rate as gentlemen, and the officers of the chamber of commerce declined lo give up the use of the rooms to those who might be dis posed lo smoke and chew while delib erating on the weighty affairs that were to come before the meeting. Secretary Holden secured the use of Liberty hall at 3 r. jr., and the consequence was that at 7 o'clock last evening about 250 men went through the slush to that ancient hall, where a red hot stove at the entrance made it very warm for a distance of twelve feet each way and intensified by com parison the cold in the rest or the house. At 7:30 second vice-president Page rapped on the desk and called the meeting to order. He asked the di rectors to come forward, and then said that he had been asked by presi dent lleid, who sat at his right hand, to act as chairman of tho meeting. He considered that it was a meeting of the stockholders ex clusively; that president Reid had a proposition to place before the meet ing. Tho assemblage was purely of an advisory nature and was intended to discuss the rejection or approval of the matters proposed. With the direc tors lay any formal action, but they would, doubtless, be influenced by the action of the present meeting. He wanted the utmo?t freedom of speech. "Mayor Crosby lose and demanded that all present, not stockholders who had paid up in full, be expelled, and asked that the chair appoint a com mittee of two to see that none but stock-holders remained. The mo tion was seconded and carried. A. G. Spcxarth wanted to know did that include proxies. The chair said proxies must go and appointed "Messrs. Iloldcn and Spcxarth lo separate the sheep from the goats, C. W. Fulton thought that proxies should be al lowed to vote. Judge Taylor thought that just because a stockholder hadn't fullj paid up he shouldn't be deprived of the privilege of expressing his opin- ien: no certaniiv nau some voice m the matter. Tho chair ruled that any stockholder present had a right to re main whether tiro stock he had sub scribed for were fully paid up or not M. C. Crosby then wanted to know who were entitled to vote. The chair repeated his ruling. M. C. Crosby objected. lie still thought that only those who had fully paid up should have any say, and moved that none but paid up stock be allowed a voice. D. K. Warren thought that in asmuch as the whole thing was only advisory, that there was no actual binding business to be trans acted, but simply a council, that every stockholder, paid up or not, should be allowed a vote. Then the chair referred lo section 20 of the by laws, which said proxies could vote. So that was settled. Then John A Devlin moved to ad journ to Monday night; M. C. Crosby seconded the motion. The idea being to give de linquents time to pay up. Three or four jumped up but J. IL D. Gray caught the speaker's eye: h6 thought that a motion lo adjonni was debat able; he saw no object in extending the time; all stock subscribers were able to pay up; there were matters of importance to lie discussed and he was opposed to adjournment C. R. Thomson suggested that the propositions should be stated. M. G. orosoy tnougnt mat it tue proposi tions were stated it would probably defeat tho objeet of making the do linquents pav up bv Monday night. C.W. Fulton thought Thomson's suggestion was a good one. Nothing could be considered till submitted; thought it was bad policy to exclude any stock subscriber from a voice in the deliberations. All the signers were liable in court This was the time and place to hear and discuss any and all propositions. A. G. Spcx arth thought that the stockholders would do much better to go ahead than to adjourn. They hadn't done anything but talk for a long time now was a chance to do some busi ness. M. J. Kinney rose to remark thata largo sum of money had been received for disbursement. The chair said Messrs. Reid and Smith lived in Portland; others were here from a distance: he opposed ad journment. On the question of adjournment about one-fourth voted aye; tho re maining three-fourths shouted 'no'' with an intensity that shook tho cour tain on the stage and woke up a friend and brother who had fallen asleep in the only warm corner in tho house. Then M. C. Crosby wanted the propositions read; the chair stated that everything would be out of order but the reading of propositions. Secretary Holden then read the proposition that appeared in full in yesterday's Moknixo Astobian. Jno. A. Devlin asked with some warmth if a majority had expressed themselves in favor of such contract as so stated in the proposition. He asked why Reid didn't either fill his present contract or quit J. Q. A. JJowlby rose to a point of order. There was no question before the house. The chair asked secretary Holden to read a communication signed by L W. Case and C. IL Page, of the'finauce committee, bearing date of October 31, 1SSD, addressed to E. P. Thomp son, president of the Pacific Construc tion company, to give all the com pany's assets and property to tho Construction company as a bonus lo build the road and relievo tho di rectors of the Astoria and South Coast road of all responsibilities on the sub ject of finance. To that communication, the chair stated, no response had ever been re ceived, but Huntington's present prop osition was based on that letter and was partly in accordance with its sug gestions. TUE WHOLE THING ROILED DOWN. The chair continued, and said that the proposition was to turn over the stock to the trustees to bo held till the road was completed; then to turn over the property to tho company; it was virtually a bonus to secure tho build ing of the road; no stockholder could bo compelled to surrender his stock; but the directors of the company would sign over all the property as a bonus. He asked president Reid if that was correctly stated: the latter said it was. J. Q. A. Bowlby said that he didn't understand that any corporate matter was to be acted upon at the present meeting; that ho believed that Hunt ington wanted everything harmonious and satisfactory. Jno. A. Devlin said that he had seen a letter that said Huntington was to arrive here. He didn't believe that; he asked if the proposition was signed by Huntington; he said there was nothing before the meeting with Hunt ington's signature attached; there was nothing absolute or positive; he de manded some evidence that Hunting ton was actually connected with the matter. J. H. D.Gray thought the last speak er's remarks unparliamentary and un called for. The chair said ho had a letter from th first vice president that SGO.OOO had lceri deposited in Portland in R. Koehlers hands direct from C. P. Huntington, for immediate use. S. S. Gordon brought forward a com mr.nicalion which the secretary read. It was a draft of a proiosition from C. P. Huntington, ;us published in The Mokning Astobian of January 2Gth, 1890. John A. Devlin called attention to the fact that the form of proposal bore no signature. D. K. Warren said he had that day seen a letter from C. P. Huntington relative to Astoria and South Coast railway matters. John A. Devlin asked what were the con tents of that letter. D. K. Warren said that was private. Those who had overcoats drew the collars up around their ears, and many stamped on theiloorand blew on Ihcir fingers to warm themselves. M. C. Crosby didn't think a proposition without a signature worth listening to; he didn't want to talk; he wanted to do business. C. V. Fulton said that Huntington had Kent that proposition and that it was bona fide, and he knew it AVhile in Portland hist week he (Fulton) had seen Koehler. Koehler then told him that he had in his possession Hunting ton's proposition with Huntington's name signed to it, and SG0.000 to give the Pacific construction company. M. C. Crosby said that Huntington's name had been used very freely: there was no use in talking: Hunting ton wasn't afraid of his own signa ture, and what does all this talk sig nify? J f Huntington had a proposi tion lo offer it would be entertained, but not otherwise. C. A. Hanson wanted to know who is or what is the Pacific Construction company? The chair said it was a corioralion dulj" authorized and with a contract lo build a railroad from Astoria to the Willamette Vallev, for which ihev were to get $22,000 and 10,00!) in paid up stock per mile. C. R. Thomson thought there was too much feeling displayed and not enough cool, calm deliberatien: it was solely a business proposition. The proposition read was only a draft or a proposed contract to be subsequently signed by Huntingten: someone we can trust should say yes or no josi tively as to whether that was or was not directly emanating from Hunt ington. PKE5IDENT KIED's SUGGESTION. At this juncture Wm. Ried roused up. He had been sitting to tho right of the chairman's desk, his head rest ing on his hand, and apparently un concerned, but evidently noting the war of words which had been waging for about an hour. He gently sug gested in a low voice that he thought it might be a good idea for the meet ing lo appoint a committee of three in whom the stockholders had confidence and on whose word they could rely; that committee to go to Portland, ex amine the whole thing, see it what was stated was se: then thev could see Huntington's signaturo; lhat there was no use in discussing the lack of signatures, etc.: he thought that after such committee were npioinlcd, the meeting should adjourn till the re turn of the committee, after they had seen and satisfied themselves. While ho was talking the procession in the rear ceased, filing out of the door. When he ceased he adjusted his necktie, and again put his hand before his eyas and remained motion less. A. G. Spcxarth said ho had a prop osition. C. .1. Curtis suggested that it be understood that all busiuess w:is being transacted with Mr. Hunting ton direct, and that the directors be instructed to deal directly with him and with no one else. M. C. Crosby called attention to a previous remark of the chair in refer ence to E. P. Thompson being a di rector of the Astoria and South Coast Railway company, and an officer of the Pacific Coast Construction com pany. L W. Case rose to a point of erder: he thought that nothing but matters of regular order of business should be discussed. C. IL Page stated that he thought the proposition in question came from Mr. Huntington; he had seen a pri vate letter from Huntington, showing that he had an interest in this road. M. C. Crosby asked why the propo sition was not signed: the chair stated that it must rule Mr. Crosby out of order. M. C. Crosby then moved that the proposition be paid on tho table. Jno. A. Devlin seconded the motion. P. J. Goodman moved to amend by accepting the projwsition. J. II. D. Grav seconded the amendment A. G. Spexarlh thought it was time to quit tnlkiug and proceed to business. C. W. Fulton said that the meeting was to be considered a business meet ing. It was evident that men had come there to vent private spleen. He and many others had como as inter ested in the success of the road. If that required more money he stood ready to aid in putting it up. Business should go ahead and not be impeded by private feeling. He wanted to know what benefit thero was in acting like a lot of boys? What good in ab use? It w;is bad temper and poor business. John A. Devlin said if he were go ing to make a business proposition he would sign his name. Where is there a business proiosilion before the meeting? that was boy'a work, indeed, ioji nt an unsigned proposition before a meeting and call it business. A. G. Spexarth brought forward a proposition. M. C. Crosby claimed the right to talk; he went into the early history oC the road and cited what has been done. Then another proposition was read, signed by Wm. Ried, setting forth that for a deed of sale hi 15 days to C. P. Huntington, of all the assets of the Astoria and South Coast road, except the stockholders shares, thero would be built or caused to be built by the party of the second part, the railroad from loung s bay to Grimes by July 1st, 1890, and the road to Hillsboro by Dec. 31st, 1691; he would convey real estate of the value of $100,000 in Mult nomah county, as a forfeit, such con voy to be held in trust. It was moved and seconded that the proposition lay on the table; no vote taken. Then another proposition was handed to the secretary and read. It was in effect that it be resolved that it be requested that IW. Case be ap- pointed trustee; that Wm. Reid trans fer all the company assets except the bonds to L W. Case, for him to hold in trust; that Wm.Reid and all others interested in tho Pacific Construction Co. retire from tho board of directors of the Astoria and South Coast Railway Co., and the Pacific Constrution Co., go on with the building of tho road according to contract Signed by A. G. Spexarth for self and other stock holders. F. L. Parker moved to adopt the resolutien: secended: no vote taken. J. Q. A. Bowlby then came to the secretary's desk and read a proposi tion in the nature of an individual con tract, that in consideration of the sum of SI, the stockholder set over in trust to C. P. Huntington all assets on full compliance with requirements to have the road completed to the Seaside by April 30th, 1890, he to provide funds for building: that ten miles of the road be built from tho Junction up the Lewis and Clarke's by September 30th, 1890, and the rest of the road to trans continental connection at Hillsboro by September 30th, 189L and that each share of stock retain in the holder's hands the right to vote till all the con ditions were completed; any failure to comply with any of the conditions to work a forfeiture of the contract The chair ruled that proposition out of order, but subsequently admitted it to the list of propositions. Then a solemn protest from Wm. S. Ladd was read, against the sale of the franchise or assets, or any transfer of any nature to the Pacific construction company, or any one else: put on record. C. W. Fulton then suggested that the roll be called aud the seuse of the stockholders be taken on tho different proiositions. There were several motions to ad journ made and seconded, but no vote taken thereon. C. W. Fulton favored J. Q. A. Bowl bs pro posit ion with some change as to forfeiture clause, and some limit as to lime. He had heard that there was considerable money in town to be paid out, and that ought to have been paid out first He suggested a vote on tho resolu tions. G. C. Fulton moved to amend by having the sense of tho meetiug taken on the question of having the board of directors select in their judgment any one of Ihc several propesitions: seconded by 11. C. Thompson. M. C. Crosby then came lo tho sec retary's desk and read the proposition signed by A. G. Spexarth and sug gested sundry amendments. P. .1. Goodman moved to having Huntington's proposition taken up. F. J. Taylor moved to amend tho previous proposition by adding that the Pacific Construction company's contract be annulled in the event of the company's obtaining real estate assets, and that L W. Case be sole ar biter in the matter. C. W. Fulton moved that the whole matter be referred to the board of di rectors. Ike Bergman said lhat talk amount ed to nothing; there were too many opinion. He thought it best to leave it lo tho directors. When he had a little fool steer that would't go he hitched a yoke of oxen to the afore said steer, and it had to go. J. IL D. Gray said ho acquiesced: he suggested that thero was too much monkey business: that Messrs. Fla vel. Bowlby and Grimes bo selected as a committee of three to decido up on the matter. The question then came up: Shall tho whole matter be referred to the board of directors of tho Astoria and South Coast Railwfiy Co., for them to do as seems best to them, and ac cept any one or reject all the propo sitions? It was carried by an almost unani mous vote. The chair stated that inasmuch as the board of directors had been blamed considerably though they had tried lo do right, they must not bo the objects of further uncharitable criti cism, and in case none of the proposi tions were accepted they would take steps to clear themselves of all exist ing encumbrances. After some further desultory dis cussion of a cursory nature the meet ing :uljourned, after a session of two hours of talk. Yiiuiii;"s lliver Ilem.

Thero is one strong difference be tween the cities and towns of Oregon and Washington and those in the states of tho control west When the latter aro established they are gener ally laid out on a perfectly level prai rie. Thero is ono wide main street, up and down which cowboys ride most of tho time. All of the build ings hnvo a conventional appearance. It seems as if two uprights had been erected and then boards nailed over them to make the house or store have a city look. Everything strikes one as quite stiff. But in our section thero is a strong difference. Rougher country breaks the monotony of the samo level; the majority of tho citi zens are of a business spirit and do not lead an adventurous life. Most towns begin substantial buildings at once and soon assume a metropolitan air. SPECIAL: BENEFIT!
