A Very Funny Skit
Barely have 12 clever people ever suc
ceeded go completely in the rather easy
task of amusing the Astoria public, as
did Frank Damsel's "Are You Crazv!"
troup on Sunday night last at the As
toria Theatre. The skit has no particu
lap depth to it, but it serves admirably
as a vehicle for the cleanest lot of rol
licking fun presented here for a long
while. It is one continuous laugh while
the curtain is up, and of jolly gossip
anent toe snow, when it is down. Every
body on the yon side of the footlights
seems possessed to make the most of
part and line assigned them, and there
were no failures noted here. The sing
ing was excellently chosen and splendid
ly rendered and the dancing of Miss
Frances Fair and Miss Florrie Allen
(especially, the former) was of the
highest order and was the star feature
of the evening's work. The company
made friends by the score and will be
welcomed heartily when they shall "bill
the town" again. Without specifying
any particular people it may be said the
whole troupe is thoroughly equipped,
and deivers the "money's wort,
cent for cent and dollar for dollar.

Annual ivport of Jaun-n W. Welch,
prei.ident of the ChainU'r of Commerce,
for the year l!H)7.
To tlie emlMr of tli Chamber of Com
merce of Astoria, Oregon,
(ientlemen: The itevehth vear of till.
century tind the thirty-fifth year of the
exUtcme of thi Chamlx-r o( Commerce
has in my opinion been a very notable
one, nnd you may well (eel proud of the
work mat nu Ih-cii accompiiMutl by tin
iirganizatiou in advamilig the intcreU
of Astoria, Clatou count v. the State
f Oregon and the whole Columbia ltaxin
during the vear 1!H7.
I ithall attempt no loiijr reimrt a our
cHieient ollii-er, the awretarv and treai-
urer, will show in detail the financial con
dition of the Chamber to lie sound and
no waste of money has been permitted.
We have had liberal contributions of
funds by a few of our mot liberal
minded and progressive citizen, which
have been used under the nupervUion of
your promotion committee who have
siuveedcd in placing thi historical spot
on the map to Hlay.
Membership.
Our membcTiliip nhoul.l include eveiy
person in our district, but also many of
our citizen are slow to appreciate the
good and benefit of a Chnuilier of Com
merce to the community. Our member
ship conii-U of one hundred and sixty
seven liroure-nlvc citizens, a train of
...
twenty in the hint year. Thu imnilier
hould be five liuiidivd contributing one
Jollar per month for their own bencllt,
and I recommend that the committee on
membership make an earnest canvass of
the district with that end in view.
Advertising.
While there has been much done in
the past nine months and the results
have been phenomenal, having received
over K'ven thousand letters in the last
five months, and while we are receiving
an averat'e of fifty lettcm of fmiuirv
per day all of, which are promptly an
swered giving complete and correct in
formation in relation to Astoria and its
possibilities, there have been ninetv mil
lion publications in different papers and
magazines and we have also published
and distributed about fifty thousand
pamphlets. In my judgment this work
should be continued. Please note the

Astoria Harbor Improvement.
The Chamber huuld lnaUt on the gov
etiimet.t ettublinhing au improvement
and harbor district of our own. This Im
portant subject should always lie kept
iu miud, aa it is the uuly way that we
can imfclv guard alt intercrt for the bet
terment of commerce both local and
interior.
Harbor Lines.
The matter of curvature have been
dicucd to some extent. This U an
important matter and hould be settled
tor all lime at the very earliest date
possible.
Upper Harbor.
I In fair nhtipe and seem to be equal
to the commerce of that part of our
rity, but I think we should auk the gov
ernment for iln appropriation milHririit
to remove what is known a the (iilman
and Silva dn OranMV ledge So as to
accommodate a laruer clas of hln.
Lower Harbor,
Ha been Hhoaling for tome year
caused by tho dumping of debris by tlie
IjuI.I in the mUldle of the chan

Major S, W. ltotler to thi. nhouliiig
aud he kiudly replied by saying that he
would have the Ladd dredge at thi
point, 'which has been pnrtlv done, but
needs much nun work to place it in it
old condition.
Bar.
I am pleased to reisirt Dial the eon
lit ion on the bar lire improv ing everv

of the iettv and the aid of a icmhI mod

nothing will advertise your county at

Public Buildings.
We can point with pride to our new
court house and city hall. They are
equal to any in the state. ,
Mills and Factories.
This should be made the greatest linn
ber manufacturing center of the Coliun
bia river. We have more timls-r in our
county and adjawnt to Astoria than any
city on the cooat. We have quite a
number of mills with capacity of about
1,000,000 feet per dav but there is room
for more and I would recommend liberal
encouragement to all mill men nnd fac
tones.
Fishing Industry,
The salmon industry should be fos
tered by adequate laws to stoo th do
sirucuon or all fish that enter oun
waters. This industry is worth about
iHJ,utKJ,(HHj per year to our city and state.
I urge early action on tho tmrt of the
Chamber as soon as possible.
