A representative of tho Aitortnn In tervlewed a number of prominent oltl tent relative to the hotel proposition, Many of them did not want their names mentioned, while a few had no objec tions to being quoted. The concensus of opinion prevails that a hotel Is a necessary adjunct to Astoria, In view of the fact that the Lewis and Clark fair next year Is certain to bring thou sands of visitors to Astoria, and our present hotels can only be dlstln gulshed from other old rockeries, by the name over the door. A prominent dry goods merchant gave it as his opinion that Astoria needed and must have a good hotel, one that will be an honor and credit to the city. In his opinion, the present hotels. so-called, answered all the wants and requirements of the city when It was tn swaddling clothes, but progressive Astoria demanded a modern hotel, or namental In appearance, and with ample accommodations for visitors vis iting the city, who expect different ac commodations than accorded to visit ors of Skomakawa and Warrenton. He thought tho committee ought to give evidence that It Is still upon earth, and not defunct, as a large majority are Inclined to believe. Herman Wise stated that he was once a member of the committee ap pointed to secure a hotel, and that the whole matter was left to a subcom mittee, and after waiting many moons for them to get a move on, he resigned.

The sites for public buildings should not be con sldered, as a hotel located In any part of the city will meet the approval of nine-tenths of the citizens. It Is not essential to the success of a hotel that It should be located In the Second ward, or in fact, In any particular lo cation, and the selling of the hotel site should not be considered by the com mittee or any one of them." "What do I think of the hotel propo sition," said a prominent property owner, " well I believe as a lurge ma jority of others, that we need a hotel, and there Is no reason why one should not be built. I have always supposed that when the community entrusted the business of formulating plans for a ho tel that they should at least report progress. I was at the meeting and voiced my sentiments In favor of a ho tel and agreed to assist It financially. I was under the Impression that the committee would report as soon as plans could be perfected, but I am In clined to the belief that the committee J,ib. T. Galleway and wife. Jas. T.

"We certulnly need a hotel, sulj i prominent Commercial street mer chant, and I am at a lost to understand why the committee does not report some plan of action. It might relieve the situation by resigning and have n more enthusiastic committee appoint ed. It only requires a report of some definite plun of action to awaken en thusiasm, and there should be no trouble to rales the necessary funds." Several other prominent citizen were Interviewed, and not one of them expressed an opinion In opposition to the hotel project. It Is now up lo the committee to satisfy the public that they are still on earth. CALIFORNIA RESTAURANT.
