i a deputy sheriff of Multnomah
county, and Miss Shedd was one of
Astoria's most popular young ladies.
The couple left for Portland on the
6:10 train last night and will make
their future home there.
it waa by their good work, ably sec
onded by good friend of the institu
tions, that this laudable object was

NO MORE CATARRH.
ASTORIA'S FREE LIBRARY.
Beginning Today no Charge Will be
Made for Uae of Books.
Astoria has a free library. Today
the Astoria library will inaugurate
the free distribution of its books to
properly accredited citizens of As
toria, removing all charges that weic
formerly made. The trustees are to
be congratulated on the success of
their efforts, which for some time
have been made to this end. They
are deserving of all the praise that
should be meted out to a consci.-n-tious,
hustling, businesslike body, as
T. F. Laurin Will Not Allow it to
Exist in Astoria.
"There will be no more catarrh in
Astoria," say T. F. Laurin, "unless
people fail to follow the law of com

because of the great success that has
followed the use of Hyomei in the
treatment of catarrhal troubles. So
positive is this treatment in quick
relief and permanent cure that He
sells it under an absolute guarantee
to refund the money if it does not
do all that is claimed (or it

The first regular session of the As
toria Chamber of Commerce for the
month of February was held last
evening with two score of the leading
business men of the city present
President W. T. Scholfield occupied
the chair and kept things moving in
a lively way, as usual, with John H.
Whyte, the secretary and manager at
his elbow, and Assistant Secretary J.
T. Wallace In charge of the records.
The following named gentlemen
whose applications had been present
ed for membership in the Chamber,
were duly elected and their names en
tered on the roster: Messrs. Gus An
derson, August Ackerman, John
Ncimi, Alex. Grant, Rev. W. S. Gil
bert, J. If. Seymour, J. E. Ferguson,
W. C. Logan, John II. Luukincn, and
Waller A. Harrison.
Isaac Bergman presented a com
munication from a namesake of his
back in Monson, Maine, a Mr. Berg
man, who was convinced that As
toria's honorable ex-Mayor was a
Swede, like himself, and desired some
-pccific information about the city
and county, all of which will be furn
ished him by Secretary Whyte in due
course of a few days.
Chairman Wingate, of the Fort of
Astoria committee reported partial
progress in the work by himself and
colleagues, and said that there would
be another meeting of the joint com
mittee on Wednesday evening next.
A resolution was introduced by Mr.
Gratke providing for a change of
meeting night for the Chamber of
Commerce from the first and third
Monday nights of the month to the
ccond and fourth Mondays, and the
same was passed over to the next
regular session, under the rules. The
idea seemed to meet with general
favor, since it is likely to enhance the
strength of the assemblies at the
Chamber, the present meeting nights
being simultaneous with the meetings
of the common council and other busi
ness organizations of the city.
The proposed form of a bill to be
presented for enactment in the Legis
lature next winter, was submitted last
night at the Chamber providing for
the creation of the sea beach on the
coast of Clatsop county, from the
mouth of the Columbia river on the
north, to the boundary line between
Clatsop and Tillamook counties on
the south, be declared a public high
way. The matter was referred to the
committee on roads and highways.
The Chamber then unanimously,
but informally resolved itself, into a
sort of committee of the whole on
the good of Astoria and Clatsop and
engaged in a -long and interesting
discussion of a number of essential
and important matters which will, at
an early day, come before the Cham
ber in very definite and comprehensive
form, and contribute largely to the
general good. The talk was kept go
ing by Messrs. Wingate, Ross, Judd,
Bowlby, President Scholfield, Dr. Ball
and others, until it became time to
revert to the order of business, when
the bills for January were presented,
read and ordered paid in due course
by warrant, and adjournment was
taken.
The meeting was pronounced for
the really live spirit in which the
pending enterprises before the Cham
ber ware discussed and lost nothing
by reason of none of them being far
enough advanced for final report and
action.
The following interesting matte is
culled from the report of Manager
John H. Whyte, which was submit
ted last evening and approved in ill
its terms:
Appropriation for Dredging.
Senator C W. Fulton has written
us in answer to our request that he,
if possible, secures an appropriation
for dredging working on the bar.
He says that it is impossible to secure
such an appropriation outside of the
Rigcrs and Harbors bill and that as it
seems settled that there will not be
passed such a bill at the present scs
sion, it is therefore utterly useless to
attempt to secure anything in the na
ture of river and harbor appropria
tion. ''
Elimination of Fish OiL
We have received a letter frem an
Ohio man which may be of interest
to some of the fishing interests. This
man says that he is now in posses
sion of a new process of his own for
extracting oil from fish material at
minimum of cost. He would be glad
to correspond with any one interest
ed. To Remove Stumps.
We have a letter from a Georgia
man who informs us that he has a
new method of ridding land of
stumps. It appears that he has a
chemical process and by applying the
chemical the stumps within a few
years disappear. Anyone interested
in the matter can see the letter in this
office.
, ' Portland Rose Fiesta.
Manager Geo. L. Hutchin, of the
Portland Rose Show, with whom I
conferred while in Portland, stated
that during the Rose Carnival in June
arrangements will be made to have
an excursion out of Portland and all
of the surrounding towns of the State
as well as into Portland from all of
these towns. It was his belief that such
an arrangement would be of an ad
vantage to surrounding towns such
that they would be glad to have a
float in the parade. The Carnival

Garland Enterprise.
While in Portland I had a conver
sation with Mr. W. H. Garland, who
stated that he expected to open an
office here within a short time when
he will again take up his steamship
proposition with the people here. He
says that when he comes he will
quietly go to work and conduct his
plans from his own office in his own
way, but of course, will be glad to
have any assistance possible from
those who believe his is a meritorious
proposition.
Distribution of Literature.
'During January we have sent out
639 common point circulars and maps
to all of the newspapers, commercial
organizations and prominent railroad
representatives in Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho, and during the same
period we have sent out over 900 lists
of country and city property for
sale to our subscribers throughout
the United States and Canada and
more than 4000 pamphlets to the
State of Idaho alone; besides this we
have sent 2,000 of our pamphlets to
the San Francisco Publicity Bureau
1500 to the Colonization Bureau at
Los Angeles.
Advertising.
We have received and replied to
during the month of January 802 let
ters addressed to us from all parts of
the United States, Canada and
Europe. This makes a total of 8841
letters and pieces of literature we
have sent out from this office during
the month just ended. This was all
done without any additional advertis
ing cbing placed, showing that the
advertising of the past year has de
veloped a most extraordinary corres
pondence. Advertising Men's Convention.
There were 161 delegates present
at the Pacific Coast Advertising
Men's Convention held in Oakland,
Cala., January 20 and 21, which I
attended. I can say that our adver
tising method, since first it was pre
sented before the Portland division of
this advertising association last sum
mer, has almost been universally
adopted wherever any change in ad
vertising systems has been made. It
has been held by some of our mem
bers that we should not have made
our system, which seems to be the
best, public property, but I am scill
of the opinion that this course wai a
wise one, inasmuch as any part of ihe
Northwest which is built up directly
or indirectly, will benefit the larger
cities including Astoria.
I took with me an album of orig
inal photographs to this convention
which-is on the table for inspection
by members. Besides keeping this
prominently before the delegation, I
had it with me at the meetings I
held with the Chamber of Commerce,
Wholesale Grocers' and Hardware
men's Associations.
Within the next few weeks Secre
tary Wisdom, of the Commission,
having charge of the $100,000 appro
priation to the Alaska Exposition for
the State of Oregon for next year,
will prepare a booklet for Oregon,
and while it seems that Astoria and
Clatsop county will not be given any
greater amount of space than any
other county excepting Multnomah
county and Portland,' which will have
the lion's share, yet I have prepared
as much matter as I thought could be
used and forwarded it I am now col
lecting additional photographs, and I
would say at this meeting, that I am

who has photographs, or an idea
about photographs, should leave them
in the office.
"Of course, I cannot say what
photographs will or will not be used
in this Oregon book as my judgment
will not rule in the matter, but I sun

prominent business houses, photo
