THE ASTORIAN PUBLISHING CO., I
WANTED, BOARD AND ROOMS
IT 13 feared that unless the regatta
committee revives more names and ad
dresses of householders who are willing
to provide accommodations for thous
amls Df people who will attend the re
gatta, many of the visitors will have to
leave the city before the fete is over,
as present indications are that there
are not enough hotele and boarding
houses in the city to take care of Ihalf
the number of visitdra expected to be
in attendance. "
The suggestion has been advanced
that fraternal societies owning their
own hall make special provisions for
housing of the visiting members ot
their orders by placing cots In the halls
and those members who are able to
take in a limited number of roomers do
so. This will go long way towards
solving the problem of sleeping accom
modations for part of the visitors, Th
strangers, men and women who have
no friends in the city and do not belong
to any of the numerous fraternal or.
dei-s will be able to get rooms at the
hotels.
lit vlow of the jact that ordinarily
there is a dearth of sleeping apart
ments for rent in this city the sugges
tion that thejodge rooms be so arrang
ed as to take care of the visitors seems
lo bo a good one. It would cost very
little to rent the cots necessary ana oea-
linen, and the cost of employing wo
men to make up the beds and keep the
rooms In order would be relatively
small. The societies could charge say
fifty cents per night for the beds, and
would thus clear the entire expense and
possibly have a small fund left to turn
over to the lodge.
The lodges might do worse than call i
special meetings to discuss this matter.
Meantime, householders are urged to
notify the regatta committee of the
number of people they can accommo
date, and whether or not they are In
a position to provide board as well as
rooms.
IN the apolntment of Frederick Am
brose Barker to West Point, Astoria
has cause, for luide. There is not a
more popular Uby in the city than Mr.
Karker. By dint of conscientious work
he has qualified for admission to the
nation's great military academy. Ke
ill undoubtedly acquit himself with
conspielous credit,, and la future years
may be ranked among the distinguished
military students of the country. And
whatever' honors Mr. Barker may re- j
t Wp in ths career he has chosen, the j
r '.me of Astoria, or wnun ne is a na- ;
lw son, wi'l always be linked.
