WHAT ADVERTISING WILL
PO. ,
The towns throughout the state of
Oregon are engaging this year in ad
vertising campaigns which promise
most extraordinary results.; 7;v
Hut Astoria so far leads the list and
in all probability will continue to do
so. 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

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.

All for these organizations work
ing in harmony and in co-bperstion
with the Commercial Club of Port
land and with the railroads that en
ter the State, are bringing many peo
ple into Oregon who have never be
fore viitited this commonwealth. 1
The Aitoria Chamber of Commerce
which has now been at work for one
year through a manager who devotes
all of his time to its enterprise has
learned by experience what are the
most practical thing, that can be ac
complished, and the energies of the
organisation are being concentrated
along a few lines. 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

' 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
