The Chamber of Commerce held its
regular meeting last night which was
the largest in point of attendance for
a long. time. Considerable interest
was manifested throughout and im
portant matters referred to proper
committees with promises of good
results. Manager Whyte read a re
port on' various matters that had
come before the body which was
listened to attentively. In general, the
report was as follows: 1
The Quarterly Dinner.
From time to time the subject of
having a quarterly dinner has been
mentioned by the members of this
organization. Whether or not we de
termine to carry out this idea at this
time, it seems to me that the occa
sion of the visit here of President
Clark and his fellow officials could
be made the occasion of a dinner but
I would by all means suggest that
the number of seats be limited to 50
or 60 as we were entirely too crowded
at the last dinner. I think that this
quarterly dinner proposition could
well be left in the hands of our re
ception committee, Mayor Wise,
chairman. I do not believe anybody
has better ideas about such matters
than Chairman Wise and the able
committeemen who are serving with
him.
The Navy Shooting Range.
Since our last meeting Chairman A
R. Cyrus of the special committee on
the navy range, Judge C J. Trenchard
of that tommittee, F. A. Fisher and
myself, visited Fort Stevens for the
purpose of ascertaining whether or
not we could get a shooting range of
the proper awe for the navy within
convenient landing distance, some
where on the site of the Fort Stevens
reservation. We found a site that
would be most desirable so far as
location is concerned but it is to be
measured before we are able to speak
authoritatively as to the size, and
Colonel White, in charge of the fort,
is now preparing the measurements
which will be in our hands in a fe
davs. Chairman Cyrus has also writ
ten to Secretary Metcalf. of the Navy
Department, asking for a blueprint
nf the nlans and specifications. One
of the questions that we have to de
cidc is what is a convenient distance
from ship landing. Chairman Cyrus
has also written the Secretary of the
Navy asking specific instructions with
regard to the meaning of convenient
distance from landing.
In case that the present range with
in the reservation of Fort Stevens is
not found to be large enough, Mr.
Cyrus' committee will continue a
search for other possible sites.

YOUNG MAN HAS
. NEW THEORY
Human Life Seems Centered In Stomach.
All Else Is Secondary.
The immense success which has fol
lowed L. T. Cooper during the past
year with his new preparation has
exceeded anything of the kind ever
before witnessed in most of the lead
ing cities where the young man has
introduced the medicine. Cooper has
a novel theory. He believes that the
buman stomach is directly responsible
for most disease. To quote his own
words from an interview upon his
arrival in an eastern city: "The
average man or worman cannot be
sick if the stomach is working prop
erly. To be sure, there are diseases
of a virulent nature, such as cancer,
tuberculosis, diabetes, etc., which are
organic, and are not traceable to the
stomach, but even fevers can, in nine
' cases out of ten, be traced to some
thing taken into the stomach. All of
this half-sick, nervous exhaustion that
is now so common, is caused by the
stomachic conditions, and it is be
cause my remedy will and does regu
late the stomach that I am meeting
with such success.
"To ium the matter up a sound
digestive apparatus that is doing its
full duty, getting every particle of
vitality out of all food by transferring
it to the bowels in a perfectly digest
ed state this above all else brings
health."
Mr. A. C. Brock, chef of the Brock
Restaurant, Market District, Boston,
Mass., who 's a staunch believer in
Mr. Cooper's theory and medicine,
has this to say: "I had chronic in
digetsion for over three years. I suf
fered terribly, and lost about thirty
pounds. I was a physical wreck when
I started this Cooper medicine, a
month or so ago. Today I am as
well as I ever was in my life. I am
no longer nervous, my food does not
distress me in the least, and I have a
splendid appetite. I am gaining flesh
very rapidly in fact, at the rate of a
pound a day. I would not believe any
medicine on earth could have done
for me what this has done.' It is a
remarkable preparation and Mr.
Cooper deserves all his success."
We recommend the Cooper prepa
rations as being remarkable medi
cines. Chas. Rogers & Son.
int the best wav to connect a short
road with this end of the "branch
automobile road. Judge Trenchard
and the County Court have already
had an estimate made of the pile
hridtre across, the mouth of the Ne-
canium River at Seaside and they will
complete this at the earliest possible
date.
In case we can, complete this aut
omobile beach road in time for the
annual bicvele races there is no doubt
but what we can pull some of-them
off on this beach road. We desire
furthermore to have a formal open
ing of this beach road and Chairman
F. A. Fisher through your manager
has presented to the Pacific Coast
Admen's Association, an invitation to
visit this beach automobile road and
take the first ride over it after it is
opened.
I have recently walked over this
entire beach at low tide, a distance of
16 miles, and I wish to assure you
that it is in every way superior to
Palm Beach, Florida, over which I
have also walked and ridden several
times. I wish to impress upon the
members of our Chamber the import
ance of this automobile road. From
an advertising standpoint it is superi
or to any other movement that could
possibly be undertaken. There will
be more men of money visit Clatsop
County because of this automobile
road than there would be because of
your railroad or because of any other
enterprise that you could possibly un
dertake and men of money are always
good things to have around and you
will get more associated press notices
oift of the completed automobile beach
road than you could out of the resid
ence of your United States Senator
or in five business concerns of As
toria. Judge Trenchard is thorough
ly familiar with these facts and con
ditions, so also Is F. A. Usher, Chair
man, ami they sre doing all they can
to complete the road by early spring-
ug.
The Chstiuqua Association.
Accompanied by the engineer of
the Astoria and Columbia River Rail
road, Mr. Habersham, by the Rev. C.
L. Owen and Mr. Ben Ward, a real
estate man, on Friday last we visited
all of the available sites for the Chat
aqua grounds from Holliday below
Seaside to Carnaham. Tomorrow
morning we will continue a pedestrian
trip from Carnahan to Fort Steven.
As soon as all of the sites have been
seen it will be up to the Chatauqua
Committee to say which one they per
fcr., As soon as they have chosen a
site, the Chamber of Commerce will
do all it can towards securing that
site for the Chatauqua Association.
The Chatauqua Association desires to
hold a lecture course on the grounds
this summe. This movement is very
imporant and means that there will
be fully 1000 people encamped for two
weeks in this Country from all parts
of the state, also from Idaho, Mon
tana and Washington. Chatauqua
people are universally educated peo
tle and it is a matter of extreme im
nortance to this country to secure the
Association for Clatsop Beach and I
am now doing all I can and will say
that President Clark and Sunt. Mc
Guire of the Rail Road Co. Are as
sisting us in every way.
At the request of Manager John 11
Harto of the Eugene Commercial
Club, I offer this resolution for con
sideration and ask that it be adopted
l That the Chamber of
Commerce of Astoria hereby puts it
..!f nn record as being most
heartily in favor of assisting the Uni
versity of Oregon located at fcugene
in every way possible to become the
greatest educational institution n tin
Northwest, that under no considers

We Relieve that the Slate University
is in Vcrv sense ' tne wor(', tl,e

1 wish to introduce this resolution
and ask that it be adopted:
That the Chamber of
Commerce of Astoria hereby puts it
self on record as favoring the appro
priation bills now before Congress
firnviilintr for the comoletion of the
military defenses at the mouth of the
Columbia River, bringing the State of
these defenses up to the most modern
condition and constructing barracks
and quarters at Fort Stevens neces

and that a copy of this resolution be

Mr. B. F. Allen, a member of this
nrfrnniy.atton and chairman of the
local committee in charge of the
movement to secure funds to purchase
Lincoln's farm and the home where
he was born, desires to call the at
tcntion of the members of this orga
nization that any one contributing 25
cents toward the Lincoln l ark As

in the Park Association. This is a

Report of the Special Committee on
the Port of Astoria.
Astoria, Feb. 17, 1908.
To the President and Members of the
Chamber of Commerce:
Gentlemen: Your committee on
"Port of Astoria" begs to report pro
gress and requests further time. The
legal question has been considered by
the lawyers on the committee with
no very definite result. On motion
of the joint committee of the common
council and your committee it was
ordered that the chairman of the com
mittee appoint three members and
your chairman, making a committee
of four to "thrash out" a bill that
would stand before the courts and
which would be satisfactory to all
concerned, and report on the day
of March, A. D. 1908. I have ap
pointed on that committee, A. M.
Smith, F. J. Taylor and W. C. Taylor
and W. C, Logan. This committee
wilt meet at stated times in the
Chamber of Commerce rooms and
will be pleased to have suggestions
from any one interested in the mat
ter. Yours truly, I
G. WINGATE,
Chairman of Joint Committee,
"Port of Astoria,"
One of our enterprising and ener
getic members Mr. MacBeth has pre
sented a new advertising idea, He
proposes to have a sign painted like
the one you see here before us to
night and placed at 100 of the promi
nent stations throughout the State
where it can bo read. He figures
that it will cost about $350 to have
the sign painted and placed and if
there is no objection the mutter could
properly be referred to the promotion
committee,
Brick and Pottery Manufacturing
Proposition.
Mr. Lew Ogan, of Testa, Cal., who
has been in correspondence with this
organisation for some time ii with
us this evening and he has a number
of samples of what he is able to turn
out We have sent him some samples
of shale, caoline and cluy. He das
tried them and has them with him to
night He will speak for himself and
I will now ask him to do so. .
Mr. Ogan nave a very interesting
talk on the possibilities of the use of
the fine clay that can be found In
this section. He has made exhaustive
tests of samples secured by him and
has looked over the country and
lind that Providence has been good
to this locality in placing such fine
deposits of valuable so easy of ac
cess. He said that he thought
it up to Astoria to profit by her ad
vantage in that respect Other sec
lions without the supply of this clus
of raw material had the enterprises
allied to it and that brick were ship
ned to this coast from the east
Test have shown that the material ii
here to produce three distinct colors
and that paving brick, faced brick and
terra cotta work can be made from
this clay to advantage. He spoke of
the very profitable results of one
plant with which he was very familiar
and of which he had the plans. His
remarks were keenly listened to and
the whole matter was then referred to
the manufacturing committee. Mr,
Ogan afterward showed his samples
the results of his tests to various
members of the body who became
much interested.
Before adjourning a vote of thanks
was tendered to Colonel unite, oi
Fort Stevens, for his courtesies and
merest in the work of the Chamber
The resolutions suggested in the
report of Mr. Whyte regarding Itate
appropriations for the University of
Oregon and favoring appropriations
for military defenses at the mouth of
the Columbia River were passed
unanimously, and the report of the
committee on "Port of Astoria" was
received as a report of progress and
the further time asked for was grant
ed. Two new members, E. A. Coe
and J. C; Swope, were admitted and
placed on the roll and the resolution
introduced at the previous meeting,
changing the meeting night to the
second and fourth Mondays of the
month was passed.

Mate Dubie says that When the Reed

up. The swirling water prevented the
four men from getting aft to where
the captain was and it broke up all
but one life boat, The men jumped
into this and cut the lashings but be
fore they had completed this they
were carried by a sea clear of the
docks. They were swept toward the
titern and as they passed some one
threw them a rope but it fell short
Only one oar was left in the boat
and that was a broken one. They
tried to work back but the undertow
carried them out to sea. They then
set their course nortnwara non ntr to
