cnr m Youn DEEDS,
Mr.. Hammond Will Arrive Tomorrow
So Prepare for Him,
Property Owners Now Have a Chance
to Show Their Public Spirit by
Working Together.

Mr.. Wingate, as chairman of the
right OF way committee for the rail-
road line outside Of the CITY, together
with his assistants, are to be congrat-
ulated for the good work they have
done thus far. The same can be truth
fully said of the committee appointed
to look after the right of way within
the city. Mr.. ]. w. WEIGH, chairman
Of the latter committee, is unable
through illness to attend to the duties
assigned him, but he has able assist
ants who will not lag in their work.
The people along the route have
caught up with the spirit that moves
and 10 a great extent have donated The
right of way. Butt there are some who
are obstinate, and are blind to the re-
suit of having a railroad from Asto-
ria to Goble, simply because they will
not see.
Every right of way owner in Clatsop
county has caught on to the move

der to THE wheel-except one mar who
ought to know better, and he will prob
ably awaken in a few days. There Is
another, too, who in his %conceit, thinks
he can make The rr PIE pay for an inn
aginary fishing right, which, If it is
a right alt all, is a right to destroy
small salmon. A suit will be started
this week against Mr.. and Mrs. Quinn
to condemn the right Of way through
their land.
The people of CTatsop county are
in earnest, and they will carry this
right Of way movement through to sue
cess. Mr.. Hammond will be here to-
morrow morning and everything should
be clear for him upon his arrival, 80
that work can be started at once.
Are not SOM Of the Astorian's
readers careless about renewing their
deeds to the subsidy? If they are, why
not place the new deeds in the hands
of the committee this day and be done
with 1t?
Do you want Mr.. Hammond to re-
turn to Astoria and ask you why you
are not ready?
The wide-awake citizens of Astoria
lpnow you-do you want such business
men as Mr.. Hammond to know you
as your fellow-townsmen do?
Do you imagine that because the
committee has not followed your foot
steps day by day, that they have for
gotten you, nor need you imagine that
if you fail to do your duty now will
the good people Of Astoria forget you
in the future. They have a faculty
for remembering such things.
Do your duty in the matter of re-
newing your deeds, and giving your
right of way and not allow Mr.. Ham
nond to come here tomorrow morn
Ing and find you in the same old rut
of procrastination. He is depending
upon your prompt action TO help him

pending upon Mr.. Hammond. You
owe 1T to your city 10 be prompt in
This matter.
Now, Gentlemen, come forward and
do what you have always claimed you
would do. Do not delay the building
Of Astoria's railroad by selfish motives.
Mr.. Hammond claims, and undou6.ed-
is able to carry out his assertions,
he is ready TO start and build a
rAilroad from this city to Goble. He
to commence work at once, and
1t will be your fault If he does not 4
50. He must have "a clear right OF
way to Goble before he starts, and you
as we'll take that fact into con-
when thinking about it.
Awake, gentlemen. The Astoria
has stood by your interests in the
asst, and now calls upon you to pu
our shoulder to the wheel and MOI
'nly help yourselves, but your more
leedy neigihbor.
