er Mr. Whipple nor Mr. Clinton have , ull ln developing the resources
of the city and county; contributing
liberally to all enterprises and a valu
able anddition to Astoria society. Had
it not been for the parsimonious pol
icy of the chamber of commerce, Mr.
Hammond would have built a $500,000
saw mill at Astoria instead of go
ing to Eureka. Had it not been for
the obstacles thrown In the way, and
the selfish spirit of that now defunct
organization, Mr. Hammond would
have probably spent $1,000,000 in de
veloping the resources of Clatsop
county, instead of there being about
14 000 DODulation, Astoria today would
have been a live, bustling city of at
least 25,000. There Is no doubt but
the chamber of commerce drove Mr.
Hammond away from Astoria, with the
assistance of some of the Individual
members. When our Heavenly Fatner
In his infinite wisdom can see His way
clear to remove from this vale of tears
a few of the members of this obscure
organization it Is believed that Mr.
Hammond will again return to Asto
ria and take up the work of developing
the resources of the county-as he con
templated doing when he construe tei
the railroad. He has several times ex
pressed a desire so to do, but when he
thinks of the chamber of commerce,
he takes another trip to Eureka In or
der to forget the past.
any idea of what the system will cost,
they have no idea of the amount of
business they can secure, and have no
certain company behind them to fur
nish the capital for constructing the
enterprises. They are endeavoring to
get the best terms possible In order to
find some capitalist willing to invest
in the enterprise.
The proposition to strike out of the
ordinance the provision regulating the
price of telephones to consumers is of
doubtful propriety. If a new company
does come here to put in a system,
there will be no trouble for them to
organize a trust and put up the prices
charged for telephones from $3 per
month to $5 per month. If there are
two companies and neither one can
pay operating expenses at the price
charged, it is morally certain that they
will enter into a combination to Jump
up the price. It has been done in
every city in the world, and Astoria
will be no exception. If the price Is
fixed in the ordinance at $3 for main
line service and $1.25 for party line
service, there "will be no opportunity
of organizing a trust The price will
be always maintained at that price
The new company cannot raise the
nrlce because prohibited by their
franchise, the old company cannot
raise the price because to do so, would
be to drive business to the company
furnishing telephones at the lowest
price.
The memb'TS of the council cvinM
a desire to treat the promoters with
due and fair consideration, but they
should also remember that they do not
represent th promoters, nut th" peo
ple of the city of Astoria, and that ih"
franchise.? they are contemplating
Is the property of the people and not
the property of the common council.
They are supposed to represent th-
people of the entire city In giving an-.-iy
valuable franchises and not their in
dividual inr llnatior.s, and the people
demand all franchises donated be sur
rounded with sufficient restrictions to
protect the city. The promoters need
no protection. They come here with
nothing, expecting to secure some
thing, and when it is secured, endeavor
to enlist outside capital to construct
and develop the system. No one has
any objection to this, and both fran
chises should be granted as provided
in the ordinances drawn by City At
torney Smith. Mr. Smith knows the
