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

yesterday. "Cert," said Fred; "go

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

claims that he has always treated her
kindly and that she has no cause for

this position he sues for divorce.
"Max Wagner has been sued by V.
A. Cook for failure to pay money lent

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.

The Not Result of Last Hiflif s
Rallroai Meeting.
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.

A Differeaee la Oar Favor.
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.
