Tomorrow night at the first meeting of the Astoria Chamber of Commerce must be nominated and elected, and so far as can be ascertained, there is no particular choice apparent. It will be distinctly up to the live Astorians pres wr v , - and Astoria's interest in the scrap tions in each of the several cases, and this will be for the better in the end It will show there had been no combina 'tion nor ulterior purpose of any kind. and that the issue lies squarely before the Chamber for honest despatch, The main thing is to get the right man for every post in organization. The . al- . I me ri presiaency is, 01 course, ine most, essen tial of all, since whosoever is chosen becomes at once the de facto represen tative and mouth-piece of tbe commun ity in large and small matters of local development. We do not care who be aha 11 be, go long as he stands for the real progress of the city and county and has the courage of his conclusions on matters of communal concern. The wav ering, half-hearted, opinionless, depreca tor will be worse than a "dead" man. claim, but quite another task to make good and win out.

It is this very faculty that has plac ed Portland at the supreme head of the commercial life of Oregon, and keepsi her there. It is the most immensely valuable item of local equipment. And the city or town without it, must culti vate it, or side-step the good things that else would be theirs. The best and nearest expression of this spirit in Astoria lies in the big 'fact of the successful maintenance of our Chamber of Commerce, and this is making a widespread impression in favor of the city; but it is not enough to simply maintain the Chamber. We must do the things that come directly from that policy, and band ourselves as a solid unit for ACCOMPLISHMENT. To devise things that may be done for the public good, is but the first meagre step. To do things after they have been proven excellent and requisite re quires something beside "hot air'; it takes composite, undivided action sus tained by an inspiration of success ut terly impossible short of a wide unani mity of communal hand and brain (es pecially the hand, with something in it).
