THE 100000 SUBSCRIBED.
And The. Original Subscription Filled Ont.

An additional fourteen thousand
dollars was yesterday subscribed to
the 100000 by Mr.. Grimes, of the
Seaside. This fills out the requisite
100000 to secure the 5000 feet OF
water frontage for terminal facilities
conditionally proffered by Col. Taylor
IN exchange for paid up stock and
leaves several thousand dollars to ap.
ply to the original $4,000 subscrip.
ton.
Contracts, pending, can now be
signed and the work on bridge, ma
terial, etc, can be unremittingly pros
ecuted.
The start is always the hardest
After this and one or two other roads tc
and from Astoria are built, it will be
easier to raise money and induce sub
scriptions. Some of us haven't had
much personal experience with rail
roads and it takes a long time to gel
started, but once started the work
always goes right on.
With plenty money in the treasury
thirteen miles Of railroad iron, bought
the grading all done, work on the
bridge begun, rolling stock contracted
for, it begins to look to the doubters
and unbeleyers as though the Astoria
& South Coast railroad was an assured
fact.
Look out for the locomotive when
the bell rings.

Benefit Of Company III" ON. G.

Ross Opera house was crowded to
the doors last evening the occasion
being benefit given to Co. "H," o. N.
g., by the Chicago Comedy company
which have appeared every evening
during the week to large and enthu-
siastic audiences. The play "Facing
the Enemy" was produced on q grand
scale, the applause being immense.
In the second act company H" ap-
peared in the manual of arms and
skirmish firing under the command of
Val. E. Love who drilled the boys in
first class style eiciting great applause.
But the best part of the scene was
when the alarm was given where our
militia boys seizing their arms rushed
to the rescue of the Union soldiers,
which was done in regular military
style amid the deafening applause OF
the audience. The manager Mr.. j.
Pietrich deserves credit for bringing
such a fine company and playing to
such reduced prices.

EXPLAINED AND DEFENDED.
An Exhaustive Address on Transportation
Questions.

Henry Willard addressed the citi
zens Of Portland at the New Park the
ater last Friday evening.
He spoke of the past, of Oregon's
growth, and Of the Oregon & Trans.
continental company. He claimed
that that company was a tower OF
financial strength, a rock of refuge,
and necessary element in the rail
road situation: that the o. & T. had
furnished S15,0OO,0OO of the $4,000.
900 that the o. r. & n. Co. had ex
pended in the development of its sys
tenn Of railroads, and restocking the
steamship line, and that had it moi
been for the o. &. T. Co., the N. P. r
r. could not have been completed in
1883.
He entered into personal explana
ton OF his relations with the o. r. 6
n. Co., the N. P. and the o. & T., and
an agreement that had been made
and violated, regarding the control oi
the former company, and elected ap.
plause by saying that he and the cap
ital he represented would tomorrow
the 18th, by virtue of a majority OF
the stock to be voted, take possession
of the 0. & 7. Co., and through it OF
the o. r. & N. Co.
He spoke for an hour and half and
evidently created favorable impress
sion by the positive nature of his re.
marks and his implied friendliness
for Portland, saying that he had al
ways been its friend, and as victor
in the fight he could afford to be mag
unanimous.

A correspondent of the HilIsboro
Independent, writing to that paper
from Gales City, says: "A civil en-
gineer, with party of our citizens,
has been looking out a pass around
Saddle mountain for the Astoria rail
road. l think, from all that 1 can
learn, that the road will be built on
the shortest practical route. 1t may
be the Saddle mountain route or it
may be the Nehalem route. But
either route will bring it down Gales

town will be favored with railroad
communication soon.n

Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indi-
vidual. Such a remarkable event is
treasured in the memory and the agency
whereby the good health has been at
tanned is gratefully blessed. Hence it is
that so much is heard in praise of Elec-
trio BitterS. So many feel they owe
their restoration to health to the use of
the Great Alternative and Tonic. If you
are troubled with any disease of the
short standing you will surely find re-
lief by use of Electric Bitters. Sold at
80 C, and 81 per bottle at j, w. Conn's
Drug store.
