CLEARING UP STUMP .LAND MANAGER WHYTE ADDRESSES A LETTER TO SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE WILSON The folowing letter to the Hon. James Wilson by Manager Whyte of the Chamber of Commerce is self- explanatory: "Astoria, Ore., March 4, 1908. "Hon. James Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture, ,' Washington, D. C. "Dear Sir: -The Chamber of Com merce of Astoria, Oregon, has direct ed me to write you asking if you would not give us the advice of the Agricultural Department as to what Droducts we can grow to turn our many thousands of acres of , cut over stump land to the most vala able account. "We also ask the advice of your Department about the best means of clearing our lands of stumps. "There is one Important question which we wish at this time in this connection to emphasize: Is there any chemical method for removing stumps, especially very large stumps, the kind we have here? We ask thi question because Mr. James H. Duke of Matthews, Ga., has been writing to us saying that he had a chemical process that would cheaply and most effectively remove our stumps. We have conceived the Idea that if Mr. Duke' presentation to u are of 1 substantial character that the Agrl i 4 : 4 ST" J, 'U 41 , e.9 -ft.,) ( i. ,r r--f w t., V" ' MISS JEANETTE CAREW With "No Mother to' Guide Her" Astoria Theater .Sunday, March 8th ASTORIA THEATER Saturday, March 7th The Laugh Event of the Season IN NEW YORK A rollicking comedy of rural Indiana with the HOOSIER In the best part she has had in many seasons All the Posey County Characters Will Be There.

' - cultural Department might like to know of them for the benefit they would be to the country at large. "As one of the great problems of this section is to remove stumps from the land after the timber has been cut off, this organization requests that vou lend us anv assistance in your power. "In fact, we know of many things that can be raised off our cut-over land to a great profit but the question is how can we clear this stump land in the cheapest manner," and at the same time in the most satisfactory manner? "We can raise potatoes, fruits, both lartre and small, and most of the staple agricultural products in the most prolific quantities but we do not know how to take off the stumps to start with in the manner that is com mercially attractive , "If the Agricultural Department could assure us of some metfiod whereby we could do this we would be glad to organize a company for that purpose or to otherwise co operate with you in any manner you may suggest. ' "We do not need irrigation in this section, the climate is mild and healthful, it scarcely ever freezing In the cooler months and the mercury seldom rising above 80 In the warmer. "If you can send a representative here to meet with us on this proposi tion, we will call a mass meeting of our citizen to take up and plans he may suggest that meet with your approval" ASTORIA THEATER Sunday, March 8th Holden Brothers & Edwards Present LILLIAN MORTIMER'S VNO MOTHER TO GUIDE HER" Clean Pure Moral Every Woman Should SeeThis Play A Complete Scenic Production It Is to Laugh Songs, Dances, Fun Everything Reproduced on the Stage That la Pictured on the Bill boards.
