RAILROAD SUBSCRIPTION.
The Work Goes Right Along
A Little Example Prom The Other Side

The railroad subscription committee
were out yesterday and got subscrip-
tons aggregating 5000: one from the
Van Dusen estate of $1,000; one from
Sam1 Elmore, of $1,000; and one
from J. w. Gearhart, Of $1,000.
There are several wealthy men and
women whose names would look well
on that stock list who are apparently
not imbued with a thorough realiza-
ton Of the fact that Faith without
works is dead"
Col. Jas. Taylor yesterday reduced
to writing his proposition and made 8
handsome addition to it. He now not
only proposes to conditionslly convey
the {, s,000feet of water frontage previ-
ously spoken of, but will donate $50 feet
additional, from Phillips Point, farth-
er east. That's, where the line of the
proposed 5000 feet frontage began,
he moves the initial point $50 feet
farther this way, 30 as to take on q
strip running out to the ship channel,
worth, as frontage there sells, at least
$4,000. This in addition to the
5000 feet already promised.
For this entire, he is to get $50
shares Of stock in the company.
The committee are sanguine
of success and expect to
readily receive sufficient subscriptions
to make up the additional hundred
thousand necessary to secure the val
liable frontage for terminal facilities.
Another subscription paper will be
started this morning.

a pretty pamphlet descriptive of
Josephine county. 1t has a neatly

notable, in being the only map of Or

Pacific map that didn't have Astoria
on it. If the pamphlet lies as badly

The Historian desires to direct the
attention of those who think that their
subscription is gift" and don't re-
alize its value as an Investment, to one
little fact.
A year ago the Ilwaco railroad peo-
pie were coaxing Astorians to Etake
some stock in their road. Some took
few, "just to help the thing along"
Others didn't realize the profitable
nature of the investment and declined.
"Oh, no: you don't catch me with any
such proposition as that: I'm too fly:
not any,"
Now what is the fact?
Simply this: that yesterday an agent
OF Jacob Kamn1's was in the city buy
ing up all the Astoria holdings of
stock in that Iwaco road that
he could find at TWENTY PER
CENT. PREMIUM. That is, that
for every 800 that an Astorian put
into the 1lwaco road he can get S12O
to-day.
Jacob Kamm knows what he is
doing.
So my dear rich friend, if you
are "too poor" to subscribe toward the
Astoria and South Coast road, borrow
few thousand from Mr.. Ladd, of
Portland, at ten per cent, and use
that money to get hold Of some stock
in this road that is going to be built.
1t will pay you, even though you had
to pay ten per cent. per annum for the
use OF the money you get the stock
with. Does any one suppose Jacob
Kamm is giving $50 for $50 in stock
for fun? Does any one suppose that
where the Ilwaoo road pays one
dollar, the Astoria road will not pay
tenS
And still in the face of this which
cannot be contrsdicted, there are men
here, claiming to be intelligent, and
who would get red in the face If told
they were not capable of correct
judgment, who hum and haw and
dilly daily and paw over their twenties
and either decline or fail to see the
direct profit, the desirable investment
afforded by block of stock in the
Astoria and South Coast road.

me for so doing.
