Captain Robert Jones, of the Elmore motor packet Evie, one of the test au thorities hereabout on the south coast trade as it applies to this port, ha ad dressed the following timely sugges tion .o the Astoria Chamber of Com werce for consideration and such action as may be deemed necessary in the premise; and it is likely to bear fruit, since it is practicable and holds a dis tract promise of profit: "Astoria, Ore., Jan. 2, 1908. "To the Chamber of Commerce, "Astoria, Oregon. "I wish to make a few remarks, which I think if given the proper attention wouH be ol some benefit to the City of Astoria, a:.d would be a Godsend to the j oast counry ?outh of the Columbia li'er for n distance of about 80 miles, where we find the Xehalem Eiver, Tilla mook Iiay, Ketarts Bay, Xetucca River, Salmon River nnd Siletz River, most all f which are sally reflected in the way of trausirii!ion. All of these small rivers anl bays aic at the present time, nd onu of them will be for years to tome, the inly oitlet from the richest trip of couulry in the State of Oregon. Ti'himook county today is the largest dairy producer in this state, although nly a small percentage of the rich bot tom lamjs which border all of these treams, are as yet in a state of culti ration, the main drawback to all of these ports being the lack of transpor tation. The Salmon River country promises a bright future in both daily nd fruit products. This rich little val ley lies directly south of Tillamook coun ty in Lincoln county and the merchant and farmers of this country have to haul the merchandise and products over a mountainous rood to and from Sheri dan, a point on the S. P. R. R.. a dist ance of about 30 utiles. Some of them drive their sheep to this place and shear them there and drive back again in order to get their wool to market. "There has been a steamer in and out of Salmon River and also Xetarts Bay, but it was years ago, when the country was not near so thickly settled as it is now. There are thousands of dollars worth of freight in your Astoria ware houses for Tillamook and other ports above mentioned, some of which has been here for several months, and at the present time freight shipments from Portland for these pointa have been or dered held there until the warehouses here are cleared out. The idea came to me the other day when the Chamber of Commerce was working for the Astoria & Oriental Steamship proposition, that it would be well for the business men ft Astoria who are looking for invest ments along this line, to initiate them selves, in the bu-iness by getting to irether and build a boat suitable for this trade and supplying a long-felt want right here at home before branching out on such a large scale. "The depth of water at the entrance of these places, range from 8 to 18 feet, at high tide and it would be a good paying investment to build & boat that would carry about 100 tons on a depth of seven feet and would also be a great aid to the development of a new coun try, and unless there is a suitable boat built and operated on these waters, the adjoining country is bound to be held back. 'Four years ago I was instrumental in thg little gasoline schooner Delia being placed on the Astoria and Xestueca River run, which place at that time was in the same position as some of the above named, without a regular boat, and since that time shipments in and out of Xestueca lias increased to more than double and this last yean the Delia had he rhamls full to handle the business carrying out of these about 10,000 cases of cheese with other products, and carry ing in between six and seven hundred tons of merchandise, and next year she will not be able to handle the business from this one place alone. And there is no reason why these other places should not enjoy the same prosperity as Xestueca, in fact there is a chance for a big improvement in all of these place. "Quite a number of the merchants doing or trying to do business in these places are willing to put up what money they can spare to help build this boat provided she will slay with them. 1 think the merchants of Astoria should come together and make a special etrort to co-operate with these people and build this boat and also establish a wholesale house here in Astoria and supply the bulk of this trade. "I have made a study of the shoal bars, and I think the plans for one which I have just completed are about the right thing for such places, and 1 would le pleased to show and explain the same to any one who may be interested enough in this proposition to call on me.

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-.Us. Uuisc Ibindolph, a young woman 'who is cred ited with possessing an iiiiumiuI memory, has decided to will her bruin to the An Uiriipoinctric Society that it may be studied by scientists when under the operation of the immutable law she will have no further use for it. It is uid that Miss Itamloliih is the Hist woman to make this disjiosal of her brain. "Shudder at the prospect? Of course not," said she last night. A woman who credits mo with possessing an unusua memory Hist suggested that my brain undoubtedly would reveal things in teresting to scientists. She is a friend of Dr. E, A.

According to the last report, at 4 p. m., 40 miles an hour was the wind velocity, a light rain was falling and the bar was moderate. But little movement occurred and at 4 p. m. Xothing was sighted ex cept the Costa Rica passing out. The British steamer Strahard came down the river at 11 a. m., yesterday, and is ready for sea. The Costa Rica, came down from Portland yesterday forenoon at 11 o'clock and left for San Fram-isco at J 2:30 p. m. , The new steamer Rose City, which was to have sailed from San Francisco for Portland on January 11th will not leave for several days later. The steamer Cascade left San Fran cisco Monday for thc Columbia river and is due here tomorrow. A dispatch received here yesterday from Port Townsend states that the British ship Port Patrick, which collided with the Columbia rivet' lightship last Friday, passed into the Straits yester day afternoon leaking and damaged, as a result ot the collision, jne vessel is being towed to Victoria for reiairs and will arrive early tomorrow, me in the work of the Anthropometric Society, of 'which Dr. Spitzka is one of the founder. Ho has examined the bruin of several prominent men, inclu ing Walt Whitman, but no woman has ever come forward with the olfer of her brain. Science falls short of its pur pose if its researches arc restricted to the brains of mere man. There is no telliilg what a woman's brain will re veal, and I intend to give my sex 11 chance. As I understand it, member ship in the society makes it beholden on members to bequeath their brains to the society. If 1 am elected my brains go with the, several others." J)r.
