It is said it Is almost cer tain to be established early in 1909. It it construed, locally, as a mere pretext for the fixing of a definite rate hence to Portland, although it is incorporated in the export tariffs.

CORRESPONDS WITH CHAMBER The Arrangement! for t 8it in Port land Not Being Carried Through Successfully it Would Setm That Astoria Now Has Chance. Pacific Coast Manager J. S. Heisey of the Schwartzucliild & Sulzberger Tacking Company with headquarters In Seattle, ha written to the Cham ber of Commerce saying that Astoria will not be overlooked in the matter of selecting a site for the establish ment of the packing house this com pany desires to have somewhere in the Northwest for export trade. This communication was in reply to one sent liim by the promotion committee on the 16th together with a carefully composed letter of facts and information concerning the trans; portation facilities and advantages Astoria has to offer. Because the S. & S plant is to be used for export purposes entirely there is no doubt of the fact that As toria offer better advantages than any Portland possesses or has to offer. The Promotion Committee feels that it will be able to secure the same rates on cattle to Astoria that are! now enjoyed by Portland and more over a site will be found for the big packing company more suitable than any that could be secured anywhere near Portland. Mr. Heisey state that he has for warded the letter and documents of information sent him, to the main' office in Chicago and that he will, take the matter up later as soon as possible. "Your harbor and the re sources of the wonderful Columbia River are known the world over", says Mr. Heisey. The Promotion Committee replied to Mr. Heisey saying that if a rep resentative is sent here at an early date he will find a proposition to the i interest of his company. A the newspapers received from Portland today state that the arrange ments for a site in Portland are not being carried through successfully, it would seem that Astoria now has a better cliance for this enterprise than Portland has or perhaps than Port land ever had.

The coal dock will cover 2,200 square feet of surface and it will be in readiness by the first week in April. In the meantime, and beginning in a few days, he will receive the first con signment of coal and dispose of it from the main piers, and as the busi ness grows he intends to develop the bunkers to a point where teams can drive under the chute and take on full loads from an overhead bunker. The first hundred tons are due here at the end of this week or the first of next, and a number of orders have already hen placed for it. From the Far North Dr. E.

Mc Gregor, of the executive committee, was held yesterday at 2 p. m. at the office of Mr. McGregor and was fairly well attended. The business transacted did not consume much time and was quite unanimous as far as it went, which was to elect W. F. McGregor as president of the cen tral committee, vice Harrison Allen, removed to Portland; and F. J. Car nney to the secretaryship, vice Allan Anderson, who resigned some time ago to accept a position in the cus toms service. An order was made directing the president and secretary to scan the political situation and interview the various Republican can didates with a view to ascertaining their wishes in the matter of a mass meeting of the party, and the selec tion of delegates to the State con vention, and at such time as was ex pedient, to call such mass meeting for the purposes named.

Starts Advertising The Promotion Committee of the Chamber of Commerce has started some far-reaching advertising again for the Slimmer relative to the ad vantages of the Port of Astoria for the flour and grain export trade. These advertisements will appear in the classified departments of the principal newspapers of the largest flour and grain centers of the coun try. A copy of the advertisemnt rads as follows: "We can convince any responsible miller or grain dealer that he can control the flour and grain export business of the 'Great Inland Em pire' from Astoria, the port at the mouth of the Columbia River, by lo cating a mill and warehouse here. Leading men in this line are invited to make a personal investigation. All our local business men are back. of this. Address Secretary Chamber of Commerce, Astoria. Oregon." Baptist Church.

Cmpany here and at Portland, and over on the I. R. & N as to the name that is to be given the rail and steamer station on the north shore, opposite this city and one mile to the west of Knappton; the point where the company has built its dock and warehouse and depot, for the inception of the north beach traffic during the coming Sum mer. The leading idea is to affix a composite name to the place that shall do honor to one or more of the popular officials of two roads and at the same time secure a degree of euphony that shall be attractive; and the problem grows in intricacy and interest daily, and there are yet about 40 days in which to struggle with it, Telephone Improvement Mr. H. A. Gregory of San Fran cisco, one of the officials of the Pa cific Telephone and Telegraph Com pany, is in the city and reports the work of the improvements now being done in this city as satisfactory and progressing as rapidly as possible. The trouble and delay is not having men with sufficient technical edu cation to install a modern and up-to-date switchboard. They are not ob tainable and the company has insti tuted a training school and Mr. Gregory has two sons now taking the course and it is not improbable that one of them will superintend the installation of Jthe Astoria switch board. Mr. Gregory is bound for Tillamook and will be a passenger on the steamer Elmore this morning. AN EXPLANATION. "Astoria, Or., March 25. "Ed. Astorian My attention," has been called to a , question raised by local labor unions relative to candi dates cards not bearing the, iinion labed. As you well know, there is no typographical union in Astoria, consequently none of the union print ing offices are allowed to use the union labek The Astoriarf, Budget and Herald are and always have been union offices. They employ union printers, pay union wages and work union hours, but on account of the union they are debared from using the union label on printed matter It makes no difference whether a candi date is a republican, democrat or socialist, he can not have the union label printed on his cards. This is a matter that the local federation of labor should take up with the Inter national Typographical Union, and not cast reflections on any candidate because the union label does not ap pear on his card. It is not his fault nor the fault of any of the three of fices enumerated. "C. J. CURTIS." PERSONAL MENTION A. S.
