The expenditures of the Astoria Chamber of . Commerce during ' the pant year have averaged about $1000 a month. Eugene, Oregon has expended about the same amount of money monthly As a matter of fact this Is a better showing for Eugene, as the popuia tioit of that town is only about half the population of Astoria. Salem is well up with its work and the amount of money being expended there equals approximately $8000 a year. Medford is expending $5000 a year and Ashland about $6000 a year, About ten other towns throughout the State have organized for this kind of work and arc expending from on rt Remember, This Is the Last J Week .)-! f, at 0 0 II u p. ; i Of the court of the last resort: The people aire unanimous that TM'E BOSTON STOIRED Is giving the'greatest bargains ever offered in Astoria. No other store will even try to match the bargains of a genuine closing out sale, and we stand ready to give $1000 to ie, divided among the different churches of the city if this store is open for busi ness one day after next Saturday. , i f ; m ?, Don't put off buying another day. Come tomorrow, come each' day, until the store is closed and buy for future needs as you will never have another such oppor tunity perhaps In a life time to buy good goods at such ridiculous prices.

The Chamber of Commerce experts to show most practical results which will be measur ed in this way. It hopes to be able to show that it has caused invest ments in this locality before the end of the year that will be many timet greater than the amount of money ex pended in the Promotion work. A gentleman has already arrived in As toria planing to locate here, wjio may entirely revolutionize the business of clearing cut-over land of stumps. He brings with him a chemical process which he believes will within six months, at the very lowest cost, clear off any given area of stump land, root and branch. 4 He has seen the pro cess tried and can explain how the stumps have disappeared far into the ground. He will make these demon strations on his own account and at his Own expense on land he intends to purchase for himself. Moreover the Agricultural Department at Wash ington has been asked to verify this chemical process and to furnish others if there are any. While the amount of money that a small town as a rule can afford to spend in Promotion Is very limited, yet that it accomplishes great good for the towns that make these ex penditures is verified on every hand. Take the targe magazines, for in stance, and notice the amount of space that some of the big cities of the country are now using. Kansas City recently had a two-page adver tiscnient in the Saturday Evening Post which at the regular rates would cost $10,000 for the one issue, and the last edition of the Saturday Evening rout had another large advertisement from Kansas City. Cleveland, Cin cinnati and Toledo, are large cities that are now buying space freely and yet they are in the oldest inhabited section of the Central States. Several hundred people have writ ten promising to be in Astoria during March and April this spring and with out doubt a considerable portion of those promising will put in an ap pearance. One of the reasons why strangers are not pleased with Astoria when they first see it is because of the tide flats. Most of the strangers come from the Central States and are not used to seeing tide lands.

THE BOSTON STORE Successors tb 'tKe Morse Department Store7 " real estate and colonization company of Chicago came to Astoria, for the purpose of locating a colony here, after corresponding with the Cham ber of Commerce to that end. When he arrived and saw that much of the town was built on piles, he took the next train and left without so much as making an investigation. While this action on his part showed his ignorance, as all seaports have to do more or less with tide flats and some of them have tides 30 feet high in stead of 8 feet high, yet this is an im portance lesson to the people of As toria showing that a bulkhead along the city front so that these flats may be filled in with dirt is absolutely es sential to the best development of the city. ' ' This bulkhead propisition will be taken up as actively as possible and the people of Astoria will be given a chance to vote on it. A resolution has been introduced in the city coun cil giving notice of proposed amend ments to the charter. These will be drawn up in due course by a live and ncrgctic committee from the city council, and others, and the people can vote upon the amendments not later than December. The mayor and' the progressive members of the City Council deserve all credit for the inn tiative in this matter. ' : Meanwhile various factory enter prises will be advertised and pushed! energetically and there is now every reason to believe that the first of these successfully established will be the terra cotta and brick ' makind plant. The leasing for oil, gas and coal will presently be completed and! the drilling started as soon after wards as possible. A number of other matters of great importance are Ing threshed out and, ; Astoria is making a bigger hole every day in the map of Oregon, This work of build ing up a city is not an easy project and might even tire the patience of Job himself, but everlastingly ham mering at it is bound to bring success and some morning the citizens of Astoria will wake up and find that a rew regime has begun. Meanwhile what is needed is the closest and most intelligent cooperation. The Chamber of Commerce is in receipt of an inquiry from a prom inent paper and pulp ' manufacturer whq desires to locate in this section. He wishes a large proposition, prin cipally spruce and if any one has such a proposition they would confer a favor by calling at the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce has re ceived a letter from a firm in Seattle who is anxious to get in touch with a party or parties in Astoria who make a business of catching and ship ping crawfish. This firm intimates that it will take the entire supply that is found available in this locality. Interested parties can get particulars at the office of the Chamber. KINO EDWARD'S JEWELS. A good many of the King's per sonal jewels are kept under lock and key in rooms to which no one except the responsible official has access. In other words, it is quite a mistake to suppose that His, Majesty possesses a master key that will admit him to any part of his palaces at any time. The King has, of course, the right to command the attendance upon him of any member of the household, and to require him to unlock any door; but he does not borrow the key for the purpose of using it without the presence of the party most concerned, and no member of the royal family is permitted to encroach upon his pre rogative in this respect If, for ex ample, Prince Edward of Wales were staying at Frogmore House, and had a friend as his guest, he could not borrow any keys for the purpose of showing him around the castle, but would have to go through the regular form, and in some instances could not gain admission without a written order from the official responsible Modern Society. ' . i. ' 3 ' FARM GUMPTION. Just hold on to yourself till the land is dry enough to work without being lumpy. There are fewer red roses among farmers than among any other class of people on earth. Keep out of the stock market; it is filled with snares and pitfalls and is no place for an honest man. Stear clear of store debts. They are mortgages on the future, drawing compound interest Don't think you can carry the world on your shoulders. Give the rest of the folks a chance to lift with you. You can not do much at ; fixing fences till the frost is out of the ground; but be on hand as soon as that time comes. A little later you may have more than yon can do with out fixing fences.. ? r , , ;. . 0 L 'J i Iff mtlx Jl OF THROAT M 'TO.)
