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.

VANDALS IN RIVER.
Steal Part:) of Machinery in Mission Boat
Chaplain and Bido Track.
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

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! Mlio has a better one!
