Wnyte, to the regular meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, held November IS, 1907: The Filling-in Proposition. " While several members of tbeCbam fcer and myself were in Portland last week iwe secured tbe promise of CL B. Skgardt, the well-known engineer who lor so man; years had charge of the jetty-building work at Fort Stevens, to to Astoria in the near future ana Mr. Brunold and asked him i "Am I to understand that these im provements will include a modern ex change board and new instrument t I thiak that you will agree with m that the faults which our people complain about, are the slowness with which ex changing is done because of the anti quated board, and the old-fashioned in struments which are entirely out of date everywhere in this country." Advertising Results. It was tbe determination of the Port land Commercial Club as reached at it monthly dinner last Tuesday night, at which several members of this Chamber were pivsent, to continue publicity work for the business reason that to atop it now, on the excuse of financial depnw sion, would be to stop it when there was the greatest opportunity of inducing in' vestments in the solid securities of the west. During tbe past week we have receiv ed a postal card from South Africa in quiring for our literature and a letter from Manila. To this date we have re ceived and answered more than 5000 let ters, replies to 55 classified advertise ments that have been inserted in 829 publications in this country, Canada, England and Europe at an average coat of $1-70 per publication. The circulation for all these publications has been about 90,000,000. If five people read each pub- assault with our members and with the ; Hcttion as generally estimated, then 450, promotion committee on the most fees- j 000,000 people have had an opportunity able way to begin and then as quickly as to read adverisements. fossible, execute the fillingin proposi sion. Our people would without doubt Wt more confidence in Mr. Hegardt than in any other engineer, because of lis familiarity with local conditions. Mr. Eegsrdt has expressed his prefer ence iwben he comes to quietly and in fetmaJly talk over the plans he will have for this proposition, which be as tares us he believes can be practical! done at a cost that will be entirely satisfac tory to all our citizens. It his opinion hst the work should be divided up into three districts and that the center, or awst populous district should first be swmpleted. Then it would be such an example to the other two districts that there would be the greatest possible celerity in completing them also. i- The Telephone Situation. . i'I have received through Mr. Brunold, county manager for the Pacific Telephone ft Telegraph Company this letter from Ditiaion Superintendent J IV. Gilkyson, mler date of November 12th: ' This is to advise you that under date f November 1, the construction depart Kflt was ordered to proceed with esti mate 23G2, Astoria, Oregon and orders lor material to be shipped direct to As toria were placed on that date. This estimate provides for a complete over hauling of your outside plant and cut ting over a large number of open wires fato new cables. We expect that the tonstniction department will very short ly begin this work." i have replied to this letter through During the past week we have receiv with us an expert brick-maker who came in answer to our advertisement saying this was a splendid place -in which to establish a brick-making plant He has looked over the situation thor oughly and has told us that we have not only the best of ordinary kinds of clay with which to make brk-ks, but that be has discovered throughout tbe city and this locality tbe very rarest quali ties of shale out of which the more valuable face bricks for building pur poses can be made, and out of which vitrified brick for paving purposes can he most successfully manufactured. His opinion is that a local brick mar ket will have to be cultivated, but that it could be made most valuable, but de Hires tbe cooperation of local business interests to that end, especially an as surance from them on the subject of using vitrified brick for paving purposes. We have two inquiries from prominent sources about the conditions here for starting a paper mill. One of these in quiries is from Chicago and asks for any inducements there may be here to manufacture a fire-proof paper, the kind that is used in wrapping steam pipes. This paper can be made through a chem ical process from any kind of pulp. The other inquiry is from Canada and wishes to know the possibilities for pro-, moting and establishing an ordinary paper mill Both of these propositions would probably 'be of interest to the holders of timber land, as through them important sales could easily be ar ranged. We have two inquiries from soap manufacturers dcslrlnir to locate bore In reply to our advertising and both propo rtions are worthy of vareful Investiga tion by Interested parties. i have two Inquiries (from soap I manufacturers desiring to locate here iu reply to our advertising and both propo sit ions are worthy of caivful Invest lg tion hv Interested parties. One of them is from Pennsylvania and asks what inducements are ottered. The Pennsylvania concern manufacture mostly laundry and household soap. Th other is from Chicago and the compsuy makes a specialty of toilet and ht fumed iia, including a brand of shav ing soap. l)tll particulars may bs had hv reading the letters in detail In the office. An excellent proposition i offered from a man who wishes to establish woolen will here. He has aa option on machinery thai cost $100,000 which be can set up in thia city fop 110,000, plus the cost of boxing and shipping, which he estimates at from f-tOOO to fTOOO more. If any of our business men are interested, he will let them have the machinery at the ten thousand-dollar option price and leave his status in the enterprise to the men who put up the money. He says the mill will produce as much goode as the Portland St, Johns mill He believes he can show any par ties that may be interested that he can m,ke an Investment out of this mill paying 20 to 23 per cent on $30,000 or more. Thia mill was bought to boom Cooa Bay but so far it is impossible to get the necessary wool into that place and will be until after a railroad bas been completed. Even then it will he a difficult task, so it is stated. This Is probably one of the very best propositions that has yet come before the Chamber of Commerce, should there be any interested parties who would like to take the matter up with the writer of the letters which are now on file in the offke. TrIEmUB OF Personal Knowledg Penonal knowledue it the winnina (actor in the culmlnalina contests of this competitive age and when of ample character it placet iu fortunate possessor in the front rank of Th Well Informed of th World. A vast fund of personal knowledge is really essential to the achievement of the highest excellence in any held ol human eflort. A Knowledge of Forma, Knowledge of Function! and Knowl. edge of Products are all of the utmost value and in questions of life and health when a true and wholesome remedy it dewed it should be rMwrnbered thai Syrup of Fin and Elixir of Senna, manufactured bv the California Fin Svrun Co.'. is an .ethical product which hat met with the approval of the most eminent physicians and gives universal tauVaction, because it it a remedy of .

Trut valuable remedv has been Ions and favnrildv tnnws under the name of Syrup of Fiat and hat attained to world wide acceptance at the most excellent family laxative. Aa its rtura Imtave principle, otaau known to physicians ana ine welt wormed ot the world to be the best we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Fist and EIxv of Senna at more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Fi and to set its beneficial effects, always note, when purchaiing the ful name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of every package, whether you call for -Syrup of Figs or by the lull name byrup ol Figt and Elixir of Senna, Another proposition worthy of especial note and whkh might be turned to great advantage here in Astoria Is the offer for sale of a flour mill of 145 barrels capacity, a full detailed printed inven tory of which appears along with the letter and description. Tbe mill was in stalled in Tacoma, Washington, in 1897, and all of the machinery is declared to be in first-class condition, while some of it haa not been in use more than aix months. What ippears to be an important con cern from tbe Central States, writes asking for full detail of the possibilities of locating a plant here to manufacture sanitary pottery. . It desires a five-acre location such that it could use both tbe railroads and sea going vessels from the same point. These people ask for no bonus or inducements of any kind and assert that they will locate on the Pa cific Coast at the point that proves the most satisfactory after a thorough in vestigation which they propose to. make if we give them sufficiently encouraging answers to their numerous Interroga tions. A San Francisco, California, concern, has written in minute detail inquiring as to the prospects of locating here a paper mill that will manufacture paper out of the refuse products of the ordi nary sawmill. The writer of this as serts that his paper mill can be operated in connection with any saw or planing mill, and all of the waste now considered worthless thereby turned into profits.

Writers of modern romance, have given us suggestive and interesting glimpses of the presence o' gentlemanly instincts operating in this difficult field of-thlcv- ery; but their lagging imaginations never conceived the possibility of a burg ktr wih a conscience, siah as the speci men developed last -week In Bloomfield, x. jr. 1 - v He rose almost to ethical heights.

Friends of Mr. Roosevelt and of Mr. Taft profess to feel no fear as to whdt that stand will be. They de clare that the President will settle all speculation as to sincerity and truthful ness by placing himself, at once and for all, entirely without the pale of Republi can presidential possibilities; and will al so take that opportunity again to im press upon Ills party his desire that the War Scncrtary' shall succeed him In the White House. ' Meanwhile the Favorite Son move ment is ill full swing and reports from various states indicate line there will ho many complimentary instructions for resident statesmen who are supposed to measure up to presidential standards, lleyond this always-to-be expected atti tude of state leaders, there seems to be nothing developing that could be con strued as positively hurtful to Secretary Tuft's propects. I say till notwith standing the fact that recently a number of solemn warnings have been Issued Hint, the President cannot hope to have everything his own way when it come to tunning liU successor.., , One of the more ponderously impul sive of these has just appeared in the Xew York Press, which take up two columns' o double-leaded editorial mat ter In It attempt to prov to Mr. Roose velt that in selecting Taft bo is "oa a dead one." The Press is strongly a Hughe paper, and the way it goes about proving that Secretary Taft I out of the race ia laughably the ilhykal. After eliminating Mr. Roosevelt from lbs race by putting tho President on hi honor, to to speak, the Prs declare that with Mr. Roosevelt out, then, any of hi advl from New York can tell him on ly one thing a to this State. "It is that Mr, Taft hat no more chance of winning it delegation than Mr. Falrbankt or Knox or Speaker Caniw or Cortelyou. "Likewise, consulting hi friend from Pennsylvania, he will learn that the de legation of that State cannot be deliv ered to Mr.Taft, Those whom he con sult from Indiana will have the same meage for him about that State. Those who iro to tell him about Illinois will convince him that Mr. Cannon, not Mr. Taft, will control the delegates , fro5 ' there. He will hear that Wioonliyfi ' for La Follette.
