Lack of Interest
In City's Welfare
Chamber of Commerce- Meetings
' Are Not Attended by Those
v Most Concerned.
At last night's meeting of the Cham
ber of Commerce a. letter, was read
from Commander E. G. Calkins with
reference to the relocation of buoya
from beacon No .2 to Tongue Point
that the new channel which Is making
there may be properly marked. Com
mander Calkins says In his letter that
he expects to be In Astoria at an early
date nod that he will then make per
sonal Investigation Of the matter.
President Welch reported that he
had Invited President Elliott, of the
Northern Pacific, to visit Astoria, dur
ing his western trip, but Mr. Elliott
found It Impossible to so readjust his
itinerary as to Include an Asiorta. visit
on the present tour. He hopes to come
to Astoria when next he visits the
coast. . .
A letter was read from the National
Civil grvlc Reform "League, - which
meets at Baltimore December 10 and 11,
requesting the chamber to send dele
gate. Senator Fulton waa chosen to
represent tbe Astoria chamber. 'The
league alms to effect widespread re
form In all government, state, county
and municipal positions.
The correspondence , with Senator
Fulton concerning Improvement of As
toria harbor was laid before the cham
ber by the committee on commerce and
navigation. This committee has been
Instructed to determine sentiment In
eastern Oregon as to the portage road
bill and to report at the next meeting.
The portage road bill as passed by the
last legislature is defective and It la
Just possible an effort may be made to
remedy It at the special session. Some
of those who fciipported the measure
at the regular session are now oppos
ing It, and It has been reported that
interestsd transportation lines are re
sponsible for this change of sentiment.
The special committee appointed to
"solicit funds from the members to set
tle the chamber's indebtedness on the
sash and door factory subsidy reported
having collected 1190. 50. The balance
of $36.75 was ordered paid out of the
treasury. .' -;
The apathy of merchants and others
toward the Important work that la be
ing carried on hy that body waa the
subject of much ' discussion at lost
night's meeting. It la seldom that a
merchant ever - attends a meeting.
The faithful members who give their
time to-the wot teel ihat this Indiff
erence on the part of the. most prosper,
ous class of clttsens is an Injustice and
a final effort will be made to arouse
their enthusiasm and enlist their sup
port.. City, County, state and federal
office hOldsrs are likewise apathetic,
and John E. Gratke and Secretary C.
R. Hlgglns were appointed a commit
1 to addseas. comunlcation to the
ofttce holders jasklng them to become
members of the chamber. A feeling of
dlsgus has om over the faithful of
lute, and there Is some talk of disband
ing the organisation. Many members
pay their dues and feel that by doing
so they discharge their duty, toward
the community. However, payment ot
dues la the least Important part of a
member's; duty. Hope -was expressed
last night that tho delinquent ones
could be made to realize the gravity of
their nefelect of Astoria and her com
mercial interests. .

but little definite information was se
cured concerning, its nature.
All day on State street the com

mob. which piled obstructions upon the
tracks, drove pegs and spikes Into the
cable slot and cut the trolley wires In
many places. . The Archer avenue line
was badly damaged early in the day
and required several hours' work by a
strong force of repair men, who were
heavily guarded by police. No attempt
has been made to run cars on this line
since tbe commencement of the strike.

After Crimpers
British Embassy Will Co-Operate
With Our Government in
Their Presentation.
Washington, Nov. 23. (Special)
Because of the large number of de
sertions from British vessels While" in
port at San Francisco the British em
bassy has furnished the coast depart
ment with evidence against the alleged
"crimpers" In San Francisco that will,
It is believed, result in a rigid Inves
tigation and possibly a number of pros
ecutlons. Embassy officials assert that
the so-called sailor's home at San Fran
Cisco is the headquarters for crimpers.
Statistics collected by the commis
sioner of navigation show 447 desert
iona.IroiiuBdtish. . vessels carrying 1800
men. British ships from Australia
have suffered desertions amounting to
27 per cent and those from Europe 43
per cent. In the opinion of the com
missioner congress baa the power to .
remedy present conditions by providing
that only regularly licensed agents be
allowed to supply seamen to -vessels.
The state department, it Is understood,
bas sounded the British government on
this point.

Bay. ' :
San Francisco, Nov. 23. A raft con
taining the -Irst mate and three sail
ors of the wreckd French bark Fran- -
colse Coppe came ashore in Toirule
bay this afternoon, and the men, alter '
securing succor at a neighboring ranch
,were driven to a railway station and ;
reached this city tonight. -.
According to their narrative, the
Coppe had been sailing in a fog for '
three days on dead reckoning, and Cap
tain Irneye, Friday night, believed he
was on the' San Francisco side of the
Farralone " Islands, vhen, as It wa "
proved by the ship's striking a rock In 1
Tomales bay, he was nearer- the coast '
line.'' ""..': '
. The four men gave a very vague idea '
as to the time or place' where tbe ship '
struck. ' They say the night was very
stormy and huge waves were dashed
violently against the ship.. ' The big '
lifeboat was provisioned and success-'
fully launched and held fast .with a
rope, but after nine men had been
lowered Into it the rope parted, and in :
self preservation .- the " nine mem v
were compelled to pull away. They
were later picked up ' by the steam
schooner Scotia and taken to Gulala '
bay. northern California. m
The four men who came to San Fran
Cisco tonight then constructed a rough
raft and took a chance of being washed
ashore-, What became ot the Captain
and the eight sailors yet unaccounted
for the first mate could not say.
The lost vessel was bound from New
castle, Australia, for this port, and was
74 days out.: ; '. . .

(The Francoise Coppe was well
known at this port, having been here
last year. From Astoria she took a'
cargo of wheat to the Antipodes. At
Newcastle she loaded 3000 tons of coal
for San Francisco. The bark was built
in 19W) and made two trips to the Co
lumbia river.)
