Difficulty in Securing Hall
The committee appointed by the
Astoria Amateur Athletic Club, to
secure a hall for the club, is having
difficulty in securing one suitable. The
membership has grown to such an ex
tent that a large hall is necessary, and
a central location desirable. An effort
was made, by the committee, to se
cure the hall over the Lurline dock,
but the landlord, Mr. Flavel, has de
clined to rent it to the club. It is to
be hoped that the committee will
meet with success in their efforts in
other directions that the club may
be started off at once in proper shape.

FUNERAL
CAPTAIN LARKINS' EXPORTS SHOULD GO
WILL BE. BURIED TODAY -CATHLAMET'S
PURSE FOR
FLORAL OFFERING MANY
ASTORIANS TO ATTEND.
The feeling of regret, over the
death of Captain William Larkin,
became more manifest yesterday, as
the news became better known, and
all doubt had been removed as to the
correctness of the report. , (
While some such ending was look
ed for, by Captain Larkins' closest
friends, who knew bis physical condi
tion, the blow was iieverlltllcst se
vere, particularly as the captain had
been in unusually good opirits, and
apparent health, for the past few
weeks. Captain Larkin for a long
time had been nuffcring from heart
trouble, having had several fainting
opells heretofore.
The uniform popularity enjoyed by
the deceased, along the river, was at
tested yestrrday, at every landing
place of the Lurline, by the inquiries
made a to the time of the funeral,
and the eager anxiety to learn later
particulars, if, any, of the death' of
everyone's friend. At Cathlamet a
committee boarded the steamer and
handed Purser Burleigh $23.50 with a
request that he expend it for a floral
offering from the citizens of Cath
lamet, who had subscribed the
money.' Mr. Burleigh will remain at
Portland, after the arrival of the boat
ut that point, to attend the funeral,
and will comply with the request of
the appreciative Cathlamet people.
The Lurline came in at about her
u-ual lime yesterday afternoon, her
llag flying at half mast, and left up
about 8:15 p. m. with a large pas
senger list, iifmy friend going up to
attend the funeral, and it is expected
that more will leave on this morning's
train. The funeral will take place
from the Methodist Church at Ore
gon City, this afternoon at 2 o'clock,
titiil no doubt will be largely attended,
the captain having been one of the
most popular oteamboat men on both
rivers.
Special Meeting
There will be a special meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce at 7:30
o'clock tonight to consider the re
port of the committee appointed to
prepare sonic plan for incorporating
the Port of Astoria so as to enlarge
it powers relative to aid commerce.
President Schollield especially desires
that every business man and prop
erty holder should be present, believ
ing that this is one of the most im
portant matters that will come up for
consideration by the Chamber this
year. 'It is especially desired that the
Mayor and members of the city coun
cil should be present as they will be
asked to co-operate in due course.
The plan which is being outlined and
which will be considered at this meet
ing tonight if put into execution
would mean the predominance of the
Port of Astoria and settle forever
many disputes that have heretofore
arisen with regard to towage and the
use of tugs, and would provide for a
harbormaster. The committee which
has had this matter in charge are G.
Wingate, A. M. Smith and James W.
Welch.

CONCENSUS OF OPINION OF
SAN FRANCISCO BUSINESS
MEN A. B. HAMMOND COM
ING TO ASTORIA SHORTLY.
A call upon Jolm H. Whyte, man
ager of the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday afternoon found him very
enthusiastic about h'is trip to the
Admen's Convention at Oakland. He
said, in part;
"Astoria received ample considera
tion at the hands of the delegates to
the Pacific Coast Advertising Men's
Association in Oakland, Cal., and the
commercial organizations . of San
Francisco and Oakland are more in
terested at this' time in Astoria than
in any other city in the Northwest.
This is because thcs organizations
see an opportunity for some splendid
new business with Astoria while oth
er fields have been more thoroughly
taken care of, .
" 'The time will come,' said a prom
inent member of the S.iji Francisco
Chamber of Commerce, 'when As
toria will not only control an extreme
ly large portion of the business of
the Columbia River Valley, which
every year find its way to San
Francisco, but will also control the
flour and mill stuff export business
to the Orient, because most of the
wheat in the Northwest is grown
tributary to the Columbia River.
This business man said he could well
remember when the Northern Pacific
Railroad refused to mark Seattle on
the map saying that it would never be
a port of any importance. The judg
ment of. the railroad has been proven
at fault and he believes the time is
just at hand when the railroads will
be convinced that they have made
the same kind of a mistake with re
gard to Astoria. He explained that
the first visit he made to Astoria was
after consulting a map and wonder
ing why there was no large port at
the mouth of the greatest river that
cmpicd into the Pacific Ocean. After
he had, visited Astoria and returned
to San Francisco he unhesitatingly
expressed the opinion that some day
on the site of Astoria would be build
cd a great city. It was indeed inter
esting to note how many of the old
San Francisco business men have held
the same belief and opinion and it
seems that it is up to .Astoria with
her present generation of active, live,
wideawake business men to make
good.
"'Mr, A. B. Hammond stated that
he expected to visit Astoria in per
son .within a very short time and re
gretted that the flour mill enterprise
which he had undertaken some few
years ago had not been allowed to
locate here in Astoria. He explained
the entire history of this transaction
and because Seattle got the mill in
stead of Astoria his mill at Seattle
this winter has been able to send 200,
000 barrels of flour to South Africa
on one contract. Mr. Hammond said
however, that it was not Impossible
that he would take up further busi
ness negotiations that would be of
as much or more importance to As
toria upon his arrival here. He ex
plained that if the common point
with Seattle was secured on wheat
and mill stuffs to Astoria, which As
toria as a matter of justice ought now
to have, a vast part of the export
business in grain would-be done from
this city and moreover a great deal
of flour would perforce be manu
factured here. ,
'"As undoubtedly so much depends
upon this common point rate and as
the North Bank road has now been
completed it will probably not be a
difficult matter to secure what is gen
erally considered but common justice,
and a serious effort will be made to
perfect an amicable arrangement to
that end in the immediate future, and
if the rate cannot be obtained ami
cably then a still more serious effort
will be made to obtain it through the
Interstate Commerce Commission. If
Astoria has the justice on her side
which seems apparent, a petition to
this commission will very soon se
cure for her that which will enable
her to overcome still greater.
"'The advertising men's conven
tion proved a great success and an
album of original photographs from
Clatsop county attracted a great deal
of attention from the 160 odd dele
gates, Especially did the photographs
of the lumber resources and of the
dairy farms and dairy cattle create
most favorable comment. There is
now but little timber to be cut in
Calt'or.nia that will compare favorably
by that in Clatsop county and as for
