saw wreekace of the steamer Mary
Comings floating around and part of
the boat was hanging on to ine dow oi
tho shin with which she drifted aiminst.

REDOUBLE ENERGIES
TO IMPROVE
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE GETTING
IN CLOSER TOUCH WITH PEOPLE
STRIVING TO BENEFIT THE
CITY.
Beginning with the new year the
Chamber of Commerce expects to re
double its energy toward the improve
ment of Astoria. It will get closer to
the people If some of the citizens hvho
stay in their othVes and say how things
ought to be conducted wilt help the
Chamber, The Chamber is probably the
best clearing-house for ideas Intended to
benefit the community. These people are
not constructive critics, and God help
them, all other kinds are worse than
useless. The Chamber of Commerce re
spectfully urges these people to put
their heads together with the other who
are so valiently striving to benefit the
city, aud after a majority has deter
mined to follow out plan, earnestly
try to make that plan a success.
If all of the members of the Chamber
of Commerce will attend the election to
bo held next Monday night, January Oth,
and each have a candidate, they will
probably be able to start the work of
the Chamber oft for the year In an orig
inally interesting manner. It would at
least afford a good evening's entertain
ment. And after all it 1 not well for
one man to think he is any better than
his neighbor, nor yet to admit that he
i any worse. The beggar today ride
on horseback tomorrow. The thief who
died on the cross entered paradise. The
Barring Brothers of a yesterday fall for
twenty million pounds on a tomorrow.
The minister of God who walks in Hi
footstep today Is tempted Into the low
est depths of degradation tomorrow. No
philosophy but the brotherhood Of man,
charity for every brother, pays now any
better than it ever has paid or than it
ever will pay.
Every member of the Chamber should
faithfully discharge a sacred duty by
being present at the annual election and
tuke an active part.
If there were 300 candidate for presi
dent It mould be all the better. If some
determined member should rise up and
drop a handful of cayenne pepper on
the mental atmosphere of that import
ant evening so that every one would
have a good excuse for coughing, and
then cough to his heart's content, no
particular harm would be done. In fact
a great deal of good might thus be ac
complished. There might not lie another
such a good excuse for an entire year.
If this is a figure of speech you are
expected to name it yourself. Whatever
its name, it is not sarcasm with a "k."
One con moreover easily recover from a
pepier cough, while it may take some
time yet to make a "New York of the
Pacific'" out of Astoria.
If it should result that some member
who will not take enough of bis valu
able time to attend the annual election
next Monday night, afterwards criticises
those who do attend and participate in
tho voting, or the oflleei chosen by that
voting, then all such carping critics de
serve to be taken to the banks of the
Columbia River and fed to the royal
Chinook salmon. In that way some profit
would ultimately result from them to
the canncrs. And it would be a merci
ful ending to the critics themselves, for
they are tliey who otherwise would have
to live on in Astoria all their natural
lives.
It is generally held that the present
will be more than an ordinarily import
ant year in Astoria history. Therefore
much more than ordinarily depends up
on the citizenship who cannot express too
many ideas through the citizens' eloaing
house. Astoria wants full advantage of
the completion of the North Bank Rail
road and should either put up or shut
up about the seawall.
The promotion' committee during the
past nine months have removed the
frills and executed most important de
tails, setting the machinery in smooth
operation.
But much will depend upon the eleo
tion next Monday night and the citizens
can afford to make a rough house if
necessary. It won't last long.
CURTAIL CELEBRATION.
Chicago Reformer Would Deny People
Good Time,
CHICAGO, Deo. 31. Arthur Burrage
FarwelL president of the Chicago Law
and Order League, decided yesterday to
"strike a blow? ' as he said, against New
York! celebrants who fail to realize that
they have enough of downtown saloon
rounding at 1 O'clock.
In a letter which he calls "The Chicago
Law and Order League's General Order
No. 2 to the police,' he had asked Mayor
Busse to put a etop to the typical Chi
cago New Year's celebration the type
which, Mr. Farwell says, has in past
years "gone beyond lawiful bounds."
president Farwell announced that he
had taken measures to start prosecu
tions of both patrons and proprietors
found violating the one hour past mid
night ordinance at the leading restaur
ants in the downtown district.;. He said
the League would have a force of detec
tives in or near the public i eating
houses to keep watch on the New Year
parties.
