City ami County Official Paper.
.1 m'SlXKSti PJtOPOSlTIOX.
Tnoroii C F. Huntington has not
yet made an railroad proposition to
Astoria, wo have his word for it that
he will We ;ilso are conversant with
the principal clause iu that proposi
tion when it will be made.
It is this.
Astoria, in addition to all that it
now possesses in railroad property,
will be akcd to give Mr. Huntington
and his associates 200,000.
This amount is to be given :is a
benus: just so much, .without any
stock or anything else in similar form
received therefor.
It is this .simple business proposi preposi propesi
tion: is it worth what is asked to get
what is offered? That's all there is to
it That is the question for Astoria to
answer.
ONE PRICE.
Bemoval Sale!
imUHIIIHMIHIIIUnillllHHHHIIIIIIIIII
Goods Sold Regardless of Cost !
To discuss it is needless. The ques
tion should receive prompt answer in
the affirmative The day that Itfr.
Hsprojwsition is received here should
not see the sun go down with that
amount unpledged.
This is a mnlter of vital importance.
A little plain talk is in order. A city
without a railroad is side-tracked.
It is useless to disguise the fact that
the drift is to the Sound. Five years
ago in comnarin with the Sound we
were ahead. To-day we are afoot. We
must have transcontinental railroad
connection or fall further behind.
If we are content to live our lives in
a ieaceful village let us determine on
that idyllic life. But it we want to
amount to anything :ts a city we muni
meet requisite conditions.
As a business proposition Tin:
Astoiuax favors the raising or the
S20D,000. It will return to us a
hundred times over. It is not a "gifl"' it
is an investment; a profitable oppor
tunity. There arc halt a dozen men
who will read this this morning who
could pledge the $200,000 by noon, and
in thirty days would have made half a
million by the rise in their holdings
that such pledge would produce.
To argue in favor of the proposition
is like arguing that water is wet, or
that food is necessary. The thing
needs no argument. It is self-evident.
That is :i commendable idea to have
the houses of ihjs city numbered, but i
TnnAsToniAN which is progressive in
most things, has the old fashioned
idea which it ha ofien advocated,
that the only proper way to number
houses is the Philadelphia way allot
100 to each block. Tt simplifies things
so.
Tins is the day when lhe trade
laborers of the world go on a strike.
The movement is a universal one. In
Belgium even the judges of the courts
have struck, and say it the govern
ment doesn't raise their salaries they
will render no more decision5?.
Actions always speak louder than
words. As evincing the energy of Hie
Having leased for a long term of years the corner
store of Young's new building on the corner of Third
and West Ninth in this city, it becomes necessary for
me to move my stock and fixtures from present location,
and to avoid as little trouble and waste of time as pos
sible I olfer my well selected stock of
Men's and Boy's Clothing, Gent's Furn
ishing Goods, Hats, Caps, Trunks,
Valises, Umbrellas, Blank
ets. Quilts, Etc.,
REGARDLESS OF COST, until my removal to the new
location, where 1 shall continue to conduct business as
I have for the past tin ce years buying goods from the
manufacturers and selling them under a low expense
for CASH and at OXE PRICE to all alike, every day in
the year.
EXCEPT SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS.
Settling hi this city over six years ago, where I found
a very healthy climate and good natural advantages,
etc., I concluded three years ago to open business in in-line
on my own account, with the intention, if possible,
to give no one an excuse to take or send money out of
Astoria to build up any other city in preference.
And as I Have Succeeded in Building up
a Good Business, and am
