MAIL TO CHAMBER OP COMMERCE CROWS DAILY AND LOCAL MEN PREPARE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OV IMMIGRATION. " The mail from the ent for the Cham tor of Commerce i increasing every day to auch an extent Unit it ham to to collected several time a day in order not to swamp the postufllce. Yesterday all in-oid were broken, the number of letter received for the (ti(j being 4IH. For the past week this but tocu an in crease, of about M letter daily. While the mail Is iiroiu every state ami clly in the country, a targe part of it is rout Kew York, where Hie young men and women have grown tired of working for email wilurle without prot iect of bettering tliemselvci. They are anxious to come wont and engage iu any Hue of business which will make them Independent. Many of them have mean, while other are seeking employment. The household help problem, which i the bugbear of so iiiai' cilic, appear to, have, been aolveU by Mr. Wbyte, aecre- j tary of the Chamber of Commerce. He, has received hundred of letter from j girl buck eat who are anxious to obtain po-ition as housemaid, cook ni.d general posit nxi in private families. The marrbge bureau i doing a land ollice busiuc. totter from young men all over the stale are being received ulin desire to marry eastern girl. Numerous gills in the east are writing to II ml out how the matrimonial market tand in the west. ,uny of the letter ale unite amusing aiul sonic of them are pathetic. Katern men are also seeking to marry western girt. Through all the mail received, the gloiiou opiort unities for young men in the west and young women are ' re flected in their answer. The ruth to the coast Mate has evidently cjtiwd a great iinprcsion in eastern cities, and this can be noticed in the tone of the letter sent to the local Chamber of Commerce. The advertiaiug work of lle organisa tion, haa reached a point where it U al most iuiHssible tu handle it, and in spite of the inerca-e in the staff, the ditlk'ulty of answering all the letter leioually i almost impossible. The variety of question asked in regard to Astoria and the aurroiiiidiiig section also uiatke thi diilicult, because eiu-h answer must tie along duTercut line. It is no to tto iieople a: Astoria to take advantage of the interest aroused throughout the country iu regard to this tion bv securing industries, property and opening in various lines of business for the people who desire to come here. The property question especially I one of vital interest. There are mniiv thousands of acres In Clatsop county which could to settled up in abort older, should the owners see It that way. The interest shown in the west at piesent is regarded as the proper time to tnke advantage of the oppor tunities to settle up this idle bind, to chhmj It is easily estimated that it can not last all the time, when so mnny countries aw clamoring for immigrant-'. Tto provisions a" Australia are pre paring to seek Kuropem nud American immigration, iin.l to that end have made it a white man's country by forcing all races of any other color to have the commonwealth. Its area is chiliiicd !' be over 100,000 equare miles linger than the United States, mid more than half the land is valuable. Ciiiiiidi is seeking all thb American mid Kiiropeait i mm ignition that it can possibly secure, while South America is taking u huge quota. The tide of im migration to the west is Increasing in -pite of efforts by other countries to secure a shnre t(f it. The Astoria Cham ber of Commerce, therefore, is making strenuous and successful endeavors to attract attention to this point with its numerous natural advantages. The one drawback to this successful movement is the placing of the new ar rivals, and after considerable discus sion on this matter local citizens have determined to ilml lands for locating de siralde immigrants and investors. Real estate men re using their best energies to pry loose" some of the land that is tied up in Clatsop county. The Cham ber oil' Commerce is taking a deep inter est in the matter. A" movement has at Inst commenced which may result in a wholesale desire on the part of the bind owners In Clatsop county to take ad vantage of prosperous times and immi gration, to put large properties in the handg of the newcomers at reasonable figure. Chamberlain' Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy, Better Than Threa Doctor! "Three years ago we had three doctors with our little boy and everything that they, could do seemed in vain.

That there are thieve on the water front of Astoria no one ever doubted but to believe that there are men on the waterfront who are low enough to' steal from a craft which lias been built fur religious purpose is hard to admit, Yet sometime Saturday morning, when the river ijroiit was still dark, someone took valuable material from the mi-ion boat Chaplain, which I -mooted at the foot of fourteenth street. When the Iter.. I. L. Bllefsen went down to the dock yesterday morning to do some work on the boat he noticed near the end of the painter which wa tied to the pier a pici-e ' blvketi lever that had once been in the engine locker on hi loet. On reaching the boat he aw at oiu-e that the valmble part of the gaolin,. engine on the boat had been taken. He ifotind that the storage bat tery, value. at $25, was taken and also a good spark coil. Besides thi there was missing all of his , wrenohes, pump whistle, oil cans, and some other small geas. Kvery thing that could to possibly to used on a gasoline launch wa taken. ,In order to turn u-picion from the river front it I thought by Mr. Kllef sen that the piece of lever was left near the head line on purpose. This would seem to indicate that the men who com mitted the deed came ifrom the shore and might to found loafing around. But the mater of the Chaplain that some one who owns gasoline launch com mitted the theft and has notified the ofl'icor. BOY HAS A NARROW ESCAPE BEDSTEAD FALLS FIFTY FEET IN THEATER AND JUST MISSES HIM WHILE HE DANGLES FROM ROPE IN MID-AIR. Joe lteiinit, a mull boy who was help ing behind the stage of the Astoria Theater on Friday afternoon, had a narrow escape nrom being killed by some falling scenery, which came sbooting down from atove the stage within a few inches from behind him, while he was suspended in mid-air. In the performance of "Camille" there is a heavy bedstead used in featuring one of the acts. After the performance Thur-ilay night it was found that theie was no room on the stage for it. Ropes were tied to the bed and it was hauled up to the flies. In the performance of '"A Western Ccntleman," on Friday night, a corset I is used in one act, and yesterday it was found missing. One of the stage hands j suddenly remembered that it was on ;the tod before the latter was hauled j above, tho scenery, I Young Utenoit w as on the 'stage and 'offered to go up ai.ter it if he were ! pulled up by the scenery ropes, lie j was securely fixed in a loop and the ; men commenced hauling him up. It was at thu' point that he narrowly escaped Is-iiig killed. When atout half way to the suspeuded bed, the latter came apart from the ropis and fell about 60 feet to the floor with a loud crash, passing within a few Inches of the young lad as he dangled iu the air. (Yhen they lowered young ltenoit he was looking very white and said that he felt quite sick at his narrow escape. One youngster sitting on s bench near where the lied dropped, grew so limp at his close oall that he said never a word but slipped to a sitting posture on the lliKir as though paralyzed. Other people on the stage were luckily out af reach of the falling bedstead, which sustained no damage from the Cl'lislt ... , Dell B .Scully, notary public.

What Can Ba Done To Ease Our Con stable's. Woes Life Too Easy With Him. Liverpool Jack, the doughty sleuth of Astoria, is heart-broken. Iuereaing avoirdupois, owing to his sedentary oc cupation, is worrying him. It handicaps him when tracking a desperate villain, his heavy footfalls betraying his stealthy (!) approach. Again when a speedy stunt is necessary to overhaul a fleeing violator a; the law, Jack is not there. In the parlance of the street he is soon all in." Now this is gall and worm wood to Jack who is anxious to earn his salary. Astoria is a well-behaved city and cases are few which makes it much harder. Jock needs all the cases he can get to keep up his record in the past, and handicapped as he is he is troubled, lack needs more speed and lighter foot falls. What is to be done? An airship was suggested but the suggestion was scorned by Jack who does not wish to cut air but to "cut ice." Automobile utxt but, nay j Jack is a "humane" ollieer and does not wish to throw the horses out of their jobs. Judge Goodman sug gests that our worthy coustable get rub ber soles and heels put on his boots to deaden his footfalls and have springs placed in the heels so that he can make kangaroo jumps after his victims not a bad suggestion!
