Th annual report of Jam W. Welch, president of th Astoria Cham ber of Commerce, ,u presented at th annual meeting Monday nlaht. Mr. Welch review an the Important mat' tor which the chamber ha taken up, and make reference to the commer cial problem that have so Ions; af fected the northwest, II believe As- torlitne and Portlundor should work together harmoniously for the Interests of the Coumbla river and the great vol- ley which It drain, and that Astoria should be accorded terminal rate. The report, which 1 of much Importance, 1 a follow; To the Member of the Astoria Cham ber of Commerce Gentlemen: The third year of the new century, and the 10th ot the exigence of thl Chamber of Commerce, ha, In my opinion, been a very ucceerul one, and you may well feel proud of the work and the rulta i hat have been accompli tied by you In advancing the Intereet ot Clat sop county and the city and harbor of Astoria during the year 1901. I shall attempt no long report, at our 'efficient officer, the secretary and treasurer, will show In detail the ft nancltl condition of the chamber to be sound and that no waste of money ha been permitted We have had enter tainment .and contribution of fund for advertisement, and the construc tion of the Smith Point spur, which have all been for the advancement ot our community. Membership. Whlio many of our clllsens are alow to .ipprwiut the oeneflt of a chamber of cmiiinrce to the community, our growth ha beon healthy, bavins; added it new name to onr membership, which I a very substantial gain over former year. Advertising. While in my judgment there I not a much of ihl don a we could do to advantage, we have done consider able. Lnte In, 190 we issued a book, jointly with the Progressive Commer cial Association, for which we had great demand, being sought by many schools ot thla coast and elsewher, It I ring authentic and In some respect historical. On the fth of March we Isnued a postal souvenir of 8000 copies, which have been circulated to advant aj(o, as we get many requests for them. On June 20 we ordered 1000 copies of the exposition magaxlne, with des criptive matter and cuts of Astoria and Clatsop county, which were destrlbuted In the east by Mrs. Weatherred, from which we get food report. I would recommend that a supply of descrip tive matter be always kept on hand; that we have several historical sketch es prepared and published In eastern magoxlnea, a they will attract much attention during; the Lewi and Clark centennial. Exhibit. While we have made no exhibit of any note during the last year, I would recommend a (very full and extensive on for the Lewi and Clark fair at Portland In 1905. Astoria Harbor Improvements The chamber made a wise move and one in the right direction when it ask ed for an Improvement and harbor dis trict of our own. .This Important sub ject should always be kept in mind. Harbor Lines. The matter of extending Astoria's harbor lines In the Interests-of our mills and factories was taken up with the secretary of war on July 27, and was very kindly acted upon and the extension allowed on December 14. Upper Harbor. . By examination of tho upper harbor and channel by this Chamber of Com merce on September 22 It was found a channel was making from near beacon No. 2 on a direct line to Tongue Point, which will be a great ndvantage to our harbor and navigation, a It In crease the current and consequently keeps bIH from settling In the channel of the upper harbor. This channel should be encouraged and the chamber should Insist on having the same buoy ed and Improved, It being the natural channel that was used for navigation In 1846 and the one that would best subserve the Interests and navigation of the Columbia between Astoria and Portland. No language can be too strong In condemning the present waste of n.oney In trying to make a channel across sand bars and current to the detriment of this community and Astorln'a harbor. Lower Harbor. ' On June 22 the matter of Improving the lower huibor wu considered and th government engineer were asked to consider It, which, we were Informed would be looked after during the wint er by tin bur dredge Chine ok, and which la now being done, with good re sult and Increase In depth of water, Ths Columbia Bar. In the annual report of my predeces sor, h call v attention to the gTesj. hoaling and decrease of water on the bar. I am pleased to report that for soma causa tht ?ndltln has changed and the channel over the Columbia bar I much better than It ha been for (wo year. The bar pilot report that a vessel drawing 22 feet ot water can be successfully navigated over thefbor. With the aid of the government and th bar dredge Chinook. In my Judg ment, in one year from thl date we can report a forty-foot channel from Afi toria to the sea. aa ample appropria tion have been and will continue to bp made for dredging and Jetty work, which will give u th best fresh wa ter harbor on th Pacific coast. Thl hould attract, commerce CakU. For a ahort tlm the telegraph ca ble between Astoria and Fort Elevens waa broken, which was a great detri ment to navigation, but It waa soon re paired and I now In good working or der. Thla chamber should use It best endeavor to have a telegraph cable connecting Tillamook rock and llght house with Astoria,. a It would be a great benefit to commerce. County Roads. This chamber should at all time keep In mind that a city without road I like a wagon without wheels, and hould encourage a Judicious, but not extravagant, expenditure of money for that purpose. Pubtie Building. We should demand that thla, the old est county and city in the state, have a court house and city hall equal' to our judgment of the Importance of our tity, and should demand from our offlc er that they, a soon aa their finances will permit, cause ample and credit able buildings to be constructed, a our present buildings are Inadequate and a disgrace to a well regulated commun ity. Mill and Factories. Thla should be made the great lum ber manufacturing center of the Co lumbia river, as we have more timber In our county and adjacent to Astoria than my other city on the coast. Two years ago w had three small mills In our county, cutting less than 100.000 feet per day. Now we have seven, with a capacity of about 800,000 feet. The Hume mill deserves special men lion, as It la the most up-to-date mill In Oregon. I would recommend lib eral encouragement to all mill men and factories. . - Fishing Industry. The fishing Industry Is In Its In fancy. Propagation Is an undisputed success, and, with judicious manage ment and liberal appropriations, I can see no reason why we should not con trol the salmon market of the world. Salmon by propagation should be made so plentiful that a fisherman could make more money selling his catch for 2 cents per pound than he can now for t cents. When this Is accomplished, wljh our commercial advantages, no other place can compete with our fish eries. With thl end In view,, every thing possible should be done to keep our waters uncontamlnated and pure. I would recommend that you keep a Careful watch over this tnduatry, Centenial. ' It Is our duty to lend a helping hand and encourage the celebration of the 100th anniversary ot Lewis and Clark's great discoveries. Tou should see that every historical spot at or about the mouth pf the Columbia Is marked with a perpetual and appropriate monument. Common Point Astoria as a commercial city Is en titled to a common point rate on wheat and other produce, with Seattle and Tacoma. The Columbia river la the natural outlet for the commerce of the Columbia basin. The distance from the wheat center, Pendleton, to Tacoma is 330 miles; to Seattle, SSI, both over mountains; to Astoria, 314 miles, on a water level, where you can haul three times as many cars with one engine as you can to Seattle or Tacoma. The distance la 214 miles to Portland. Freight from Pendleton to either Se attle, Tacoma or Portland Is about $2.50 per ton; to Astoria, about $4.60. Astoria shuld have th same rat aa Seattle and Tacoma, f 8.M, and Portland a differential of about f 1, making Port land's rata 12.60 per ton; and th en tire ctat of Oregon should be bl to know that which 1 plainly Oregon' Interest, and with these rate equit ably adjusted th commerce ot Oregon hould be aecond to none on th Pa cific coast. i V" waii. ' v :; t am ot the ame opinion that I was In 1891, when I was Instrumental In Introducing a bill in the state legis lature, wnlch was duly paaed and be came law, that Astoria could never be come a place either sightly, thereby giving confidence to Intending citizens or a i'lace of any permanence, until a sea wall prepares the way to make street and business block In solid Railroad. :i ; ' '' j Our railroad are In good condition and well managed, as I shown by th absence ot accidents and the schedule maintained.. - Lttkfc We jtote with pleasur th progre being mad by this state and the gen eral government towards opening the apper Columbia to navigation, and we heartily approve the action of the late legislature tn appropriating JI00.000 to procure tb right-of-way at Celilo. Pilot 8 ivies. There are those who think there Is vice on the Columbia river bar, which I well maintained and equal to any on th coast. ' . Portland and Astoria. There are thost who think there is a rlvalrf between these two places commercially. If thl be the tact (which I know doe not exist In tht chamber), I would recommend that they get to gether aa soon as posslble.as a divided house always work against Itself .As toria's growth 1 just as essential to Portland aa Portland's growth Is :o Astoria. I am iroud to have a great center end metropolis In Oregon. Port Tand, may your growth be phenomenal! Ve mist have the Columbia river bar Improved so that the largest man -of -rt-.ir and the deepest draft ship, that float ran land at Astoria's wharves. This U necessary to give Oregon a national and International footing. When this end ha been attained! then the improvement should be continued ontil the metropolis is reached, then on through the entire length of th Co lumbia basin. We may then hope to rejoice In a greater Oregon. Astoria and Portland are both historical and on he map to stay. They have each contributed a senator to the national capital. May their labor be har monious and in the interests ot one of the best states In the union Ore gon. . ' V'-'' f ' ' Micllanou Matter.
