6 THE MORNING ASTORIAN. ASTOMA, OREGON. SUNDAY, JUNE II 1905 CHANCE By th HAVE WE MISSED THE CHANCE? Last evening at seven oVlook Th Cal ifornia Promotion Committor' luMtriou special (rain loft Sun Fromioo for Tort kmL Members of the commit te an J there are making the journey to be pre nt at the Lewis and Clark Exposition n California Promotion Committee Pay which is June 12. Here is an opportun ity, not yet entirely lost, for the Cham ber of Commerce of Astoria, to invite sonic of California's most distinguished men to visit our city. An invitation wired to the train en route or a dole jrstian to meet the Committee on the ar rival in Portland will probably be all that is necessary, to induce these cap tains of industry and finance to visit our parking establishments and mills. This ecomplishod, Astoria's Chamber of Com ercme nee-i only arrange for a special to be attached to the morning train coming from Portland on a day Ciat will fce agreeable to the visitors. . A few car riages and Mime of our distinguished men to show them around, a dinner and you have accomplished something worth men tioning. The county's resource will thug eomr before a class of people whose investment are acceptable. O TIN CANS MAY BE ALL RIGHT. There lias been a rumor that some As torians intend to take a fen- thousands cans, bearing salmon labels, to the fair, to advertise salmon. The writer is not informed at this time, whether the cans will be filled with salmon or are to be given out empty. If filled, the cans will serre as a moderately good advertising medium, only moderately so, because 10,000 cans will barely suffice in a short time to go the rounds of the Fair vis itors on a single day. Then again, there will be many who will get a can, who are thoroughly familiar with salmon, if not with a particular brand. Empty cans are of no value, because the visitors will be loaded with curios at nominal expense. Consequently they will have little use for empty tin cans. O THE ONLY PROPER WAY. There is, however, a method of adver tising salmon which wil serve a more useful purpose than labeled cans . At the lame time it will create a natural de mand for labeled cans that are full of salmon, for which supply the public will be willing to pay. Creative advertising will do it. The leading newspapers and magazines throughout the world are the proper media to use. A good general advertising campaign on some particular rand of salmon will make a fortune for ' the man who first takes hold. It does not require a fortune to start it. Such a campaign would benefit all Astoria. I can give you particulars on demand and will not charge you for an interview. e o PUBLISHERS BEWARE. Every day in the week one hears of exhorbitant charges at Portland Hotels. These rumors are, generally speaking, aufair. There was, however, recently lent to editors of country and smaller tity publications a letter offering ac commodations for advertising space. The letter carefully typewritten, came from the owners of probably the worst fire trap in Portland. In their advertise ment they claim that the Inn is constructed on the log cabin style; furnishings, cuisine and management con form thereto. Now the ad-man, who has investigated these and other preten tious etsims made, finds that this "home-like hostelery" is nothing but a shack of 130 rooms, by no means large and commodious, as claimed. It was kurriedfy put together of rough boards, and on the outside of the building the bark is left on the boards, to give im pressiou rf 1' tabin style. The bed springs consist of a few pieces of rope strung across from board to board. A wash bowl and pitcher and a cheap chair may lie found in the room. The dining room is to be rented to an out sider. The street in front of the build ing was in terrible shape, w hen I failed. The place is on 2'ith street outside the Fair Grounds. The ad-man knows that a few editors have accepted for them selves and their families. They can find letter aecomodamtionH by applying to the Exposition Hotel Committee on Sixth street. Those who have accepted will find themselves bit, as 1 would not take my wife there. O O HOME TRADE BEST. According to the San Franewo Wai-p. the fiat has gone forth from Washington that henceforth wearing apparel bought by anybody as x-rsonaI effects from outside the United States shall be sub ject to customs duty, just like any or dinary merchandise. No excuse that dresses or suits had been worn will be taken by the customs officers. Every ar tide in the luggage will be taxed. The effect of such a drastic interpretation of customs will be the causing of counter- SHOTS Ad Man. nation and dUpair among the loading milliners of continental Europe, who have hitherto reaped a yearly guidon harvest from wealthy American travel era On the other hand, the stops taken by the fedora! government w ill 1 hailed with delight by the trades people of New York, and all the large cities in the union 0 3? How About the Regatta? There are those who claim the regatta is dead, while others say that $2000 will carry it to success, and that it will be done. If the regatta is to I planned, and oarrjed out, as was Astoria Day at the Fair, it had best be left undone. The regatta can this year be made the digest affair Astoria ever had. It can likewise be made to earn a profit. A small affair will leave a big deficit, with so many counter-attractions at the Fair. A big attraction here will draw 50,000 people in 3 days, and I know of a way to accommodate them. It will need ad vertising of the right kind and then work then more work and last, but not least, plenty of work. Talk is cheap, money is easy to give, but ideas and work there is the rub. Look for the right man. Tay him and then let him and the committee plan and work, to make the UH)5 regatta talked of throughout the United States. What' the matter with Astoria and its mer chants! They are all right they need be shown only, that the affair will pay. SO OVER PAID FIGURE-HEADS. One of the important events of the week was the report of the Frick in vestigating committee in the Equita ble scandal. Mr. Frick made it plain that the funds of the company were be ing dissipated in the payment of too large salaries. This gentleman, who drew- an annual pittance of a million dol lars from the steel trut for traveling in Europe, is an exjiert on the ucles nes of high-prieed figureheads, ami his observations should have received more serious consideration. O 8 USE ONLY RELIABLE AGENCIES. Mr. Orno Strong says in "The West Coat Trade:"' Fake collection agen cies are coming into prominence again When a merchant turns his acounts over to a concern of which he has no knowl edge of a definite character he is enti tled to little or no sympathy over the losses and annoyances which he is al most certain to incur. In most cases he never receives any returns, while the methods employed by collectors ure such as to forever alienate the trade of cus tomers who are given over to th mercy of these sharks. The Schoolma'am's Rise. Year by year and day by day, She lived in hopes of higher pay, She saw the city prosperous grow, She saw the school house overflow, With hosts of children large and small, Arid patiently she taught them ill, And as the seasons swiftly flew, She sometimes taught their children, too. Through weary months of busy days The schoolma'am hoped To get a raise She did all that a woman could do Her arguments were sound and good She drew petitions up so fine That all the people ran to sign The common council all agreed That she should have it; yes, indeed. The board of education made Long, smiling promises of aid, While out of all the tangled maze The school ma'am hoped To get a raise At last it seemed the way was clear At last the needed funds appeared. But still the board could not decide Just how these funds should be applied. Raie by experience or grade! So still they wavered and delayed; They weeded out a girl or two Who didn't have enought to do. These surely were the halcyon days, The schoolma'am hoped To get a raise . But weary decades came and went, Until her faithful life was spent: And now across her lonely grave The long green grasses gently wave. Her tombstone in its ancient place Stands up, yet lies upon its face; For though it says she has gone higher I know her soul must still aspire And, lingering long for Gabriel's days, When every schoolma'am Gets a raise.
