Kuettncr Confident Hotel Scheme Will Be Financed at Home Without Trouble NOW LOOKING FOR LOCATION As Soou as Site Is Selected Sub , - scrlptlous Will lie Asked and the Company Incorporated. The hotel proposition is rapidly as suming shape, and within a short time ' site will be selected and subscriptions asked for. The hotel hustlers are so ing at the proposition with their usual energy and there Is not the slightest doubt of the success of the undertaking. At the meeting of the general com mittee named at the mass meeting re cently held the following gentlemen were selected as incorporators of the company: F. D. Kuettner, J. E. Hig gins, James W. Welch, G. W. Louns- berry, A.-Scherneckau, W. E. Schlmpff and Frank R. Stokes. To those seven men the matter of incorporation was . left. They were given authority to choose a site, Incorporate the compan and raise the necessary funds. They went to work without delay, and with in, a few weeks the matter will be In definite shape. Mr. Kuettner, one of the Incorporat ors, said last evening that there was every indication of the success of the undertaking. "Articles of incorporation have been prepared and just as soon as the site is selected we will open the books," said Mr. kuettner. ' "We are now figur ing on a site. We have asked bids from several owners of desirable property, but cannot receive replies for some days, as many of the owners reside in the east. Nearly all the best business property is owned Jointly by several persons, and some of the owners do not lrve here. 'They are to be communi cated with at the earliest possible date, and as soon as replies are In we will decide upon the location. "We have met with encouragement on all sides and I am sure the hotel scheme will bevflnanced at home with out any difficulty. The people of As toria realize the need of a good hotel and we have received ample assurance that the stock will be liberally sub scribed. We will not be able to open the books until the site is selected for the hotel, but I believe I am safe in stating that the location will be de termined upon within two weeks." Mr. Kuettner added that all offers for sale of sites must be accompanied with bonds from the owners as an evi dence of good faith. He said the com mittee wanted to seriously consider every proposal offered, and that, if the offer of the owners of a certain site was considered the best, the commit tee would want to know positively that the propolstion submitted would hold. " The articles of incorporation pro vide for the formation of a company of 1100,000 capitalization. It is to be known as the Astoria Hotel & Guar anty Company. The shares are to be valued at 1100 each. SHIPWRECKED NATIONS. Rev. Garonne Had Rough Trip. Seattle, Oct. 18.

Ray Palmer delivered another address nt the Presbyterian church last evening, his subject being "Shipwreck ed," or "A Castaway." Mr. Palmer ex pressed the conviction that even nat Ions may become shipwrecked, nnd at tributed the reverses suffered by Rus sia. Spain and Turkey to the wrath of God. He said In part: "Churches may become castaways. The Mormon church, because of Its nolvcnmr. treachery and deceit, has become a castaway. Nations, too, may become castaways. Turkey, because of her cruel treatment of the Armenians, has become ' a shipwrecked nation. Spain has also Incurred the displeasure of God, because of her oppression ol Cuba and the Philippines. Russia, like wise. Is a castaway nation, because she stands for the blood-curdling cruelties of the dark ages. Her treatment of the Jews, as well as many others. Is one of the blackest stains on human history. Even If Japan should not conquer In this bloody war, still Jehovah has put the mark of Cain upon the forehead of Russia; she will go down in shame and oblivion." Mr. Palmer spoke of men who be come shipwrecked by sin and crime. Said he: "The shores of time are strewn with the awful wreckage of lost souls. Hundreds of young men In Astoria are becoming shipwrecked through strong drink and licentiousness." The meetings conducted by Mr, Pal mer have been quite well attended. To night his subject will be, "The Man Who Hated Himself." Catholic Ladies' Fete to Be Be gun This Afternoon and Con tinued Four Days. .
