HAMMOND.
Once again in the history of As
toria the name of A. B. Hammond
lies very close to the popular inter
est, and means much in a commercial
and industrial sense. Mr. Hammond
has returned to Astoria and closed a
big deal for local properties, which,
without definite figures for authori
tative use, must nave ranged up in
the hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. This is is very significan, for
this successful man is not making
wild investments over the country,
and, despite" the claim of many, that
he never invests anywhere until
filing are at "zero," indicates his
anfidence in the site and aptitude
of the place and port for big' busi
ness, and is also indicative of certain
paction from the dubious level of
"zero" since he comes at all.
At all events he is here, with, per
haps the biggest plant in all this
country on his hands, and an infinite
and valuable assortment of specific
knowledge of the business and how,
to run it. Taking the great plant
of his company at Eureka, with its
1000 or 1200 people on the pay-rolls;
its vast property, its company homes, j
boarding houses, chapel, school, li
brary, baths, docks, yards, ware
houses fleets of sailing and steam
craft, and one has an faint idea of
what Mr. Hammond and his asso
ciates intend to make of this fine
system at Tongue Point, provided,
that Astoria and her people do their
share in meeting the situation, and
sparing him, and it, the onus of con
travening and impeding policies, pub
lic and private; not that he is asking
anything in particular, but his renew
ed interests in the city and section,
calls for the expression of purposes
and plans that shall dovetail with the
developments he shall want to make
The fact that he represents thou
sands of acres of the finest timber
lands in this country; that it must
be gotten out, hauled here, and made
marketable, and then despatched to
all corners of the country and the
the globe, is part and parcel of that
scheme of development; and the
logic, pf it talks much more to this
particular point, than he himself will
talk, tn fact he is not ready to talk
for publication, and says so frankly.
He and his people have every con
cievable resource and facility at
their command to make Astoria one
of the leading lumber ports of the
world, and such an end is worth play
ing up to. They must be met half
way, at least, and no barriers set up
thai are needless or senseless.
Astoria must play her hand in the
game of up-lift as well as those who
come in here to do things on the
scale Mr. Hammond generally does
them; it is poor wisdom to disparage
and obstruct, and the quint-essence
of sound business judgment to aid,
contribute, meet and smooth things
out, for all concerned. And if this
big compaffy has come in here at the
zero houi, then the cue for the new
progress is aptly at hand and it were
follv to overlook it. So, Astoria can
be square and friendly and helpful in
this venture, without sacrificing a
scintilla of her right and prestige in
any direction; and it's "dollars to dog
tracks" that the Hammond interests
will respond in kind, and give a new
;ind permanent lead along the lines
that shall make for mutual and
manifest destiny.
n this same relation, it should
not be forgotten that Astoria owes
a debt of no small proportions to the
Hume interests that are now closed
here: for years they have maintained
theso great mills through all '.oris
of discouraging conditions, as well as
under more equitable circumstances
and at all times have stood far the
port and done as much (and offen
more) as any of the home concerns,
for the advancement of Astoria.
They have dealt fairly and honorj'v
at all times, and there are none hen. -about
to gainsay the character and
credit of the house of Hume.
MEETING OF THE GOVERNORS
The purpose and scope of 'the confer
ence of the governors are the Important
things about the meeting convened In
Washington recently on the Invitation
of the president Immediate results
were not to be expected. The govern
ors do not and cannot make laws, but
they can talk reason and compare con
ditions. Only through a common un
derstanding and an agreement on the
part of the state executives can any
thing resembling uniform action lie
secured, and only by uniform action
can the forests, the water courses,
the mineral deposits and other natural
resources of the country be protected
against extravagance and spoliation.
The conference of 1908 sets up a
precedent that may be observed here
after with benefit to health, to morals,
to finance, to commerce, to agriculture
and to popular government Our pop?
nlatjon is rapidly shifting, and indi
vidual states are first affected by the
changes. In certain of the states
those issues first arise which grow
and force themselves upon the atten
tion of the nation. What is needed is
uniformity of state policies on mat
ters affecting the well being and prog
ress of the nation, as a whole. When
such uniformity is assured we shall
see an end to evils which, If not post
tively alarming, are to be regretted,
because they are obstacles in the way
of national progress.
THREE SQUARE MEALS.
One looks M rain among the authors
of new rules for taking In trar por
tions of daily bread for the man with
the hoe or some one able to speak for
him from a fellow feeling. Ills creed
would doubtless be found very simple
as to the number and the nature of
his meals. Others preach of one meal,
and perhaps the majority of those who
want to reform our habits of dieting
Insist that two are enough. Break
fast, we are told, we don't need, but
if we insist upon it from force of habit
we should come to it after chasing' for
an appetite an hour or more. Then
the hearty breakfast Hliould suffice un
fjlerening and the noon meal be cut
out ,i.,.)t.?C: iZTXr-T- ':
But the man with the hoe Is usually
chased out of bed by an appetite al
ready urgent, and his day Is twice as
long as that of the average maker of
food regulations. If everybody needs
two meals a day, tueD the man of
hard work ueeds four. School children
have also a strong claim to four, for
they must grow as well as keep up
steam for study and play on what they
eat The muscle worker is always cre
ating an appetite. He transforms bis
food into energy and requires more
and more fuel to make good the
tteady waste. His appetite Isn't a
'aabit, and It Isn't forced. It is a neces
sity and comes to him naturally.
. It Is to be noticed that the most of
the theorists who tell how little food
is required insist upon regulating
other "habits" besides the appetite.
Fletcher, who contends that man eats
too much, Insists that one must feel
Just right before taking food. But
when there is work to be done a man
cannot, consult I)Ik feelings and moods
as to the time of eating. The work
demands the food and demands a
worker who can eat periodically and
work regularly. When a general gets
a hurry order to march bis army a
certain distance by a given time he
Insists upon the men having break
fast first. They can lose time over
getting breakfast and then reach the
goal quicker than they could by
marching on empty stomachs. So it's
a question of the size of a man's Job
as to how many meals he shall eat in
a day and how hearty they shall be.
The two meal man will do a two meal
stunt, and the man who is put at a
three meal Job should have his 'three
square meals or nature will Interpose
and square the deal in her, own way.
With the forty-eight hours the
Morning Astorian appropriated to it
self before indulging in an individual
write-up on the splendid concert giv
en by the Astoria Phlharmoncs on
Thursday night last, it has attained to
a sound, and truer, estimate of the
public opinion touching the work of
those who contributed, and in dealing
with the matter, as follows, it adheres
gladly ami faithfully, to the sum and
concensus of that opinion, which is:
That the orchestration was just as
near perfect as could have been ex
petced under the conditions controll
ing the general arrangement of the
affair, and that each member of that
important department did faithful
and excellent, work at every phase of
the program; the honors in this be
half falling equally to the following
ladies and gentlemen who had
charge of the instrumentation:
First violins Mr. Harold Bayley,
conccrtmeister; Miss Esther Sund
quist, Mrs. J. T. Allen, Miss Maud
Ross.
Second violins Mr. Milton Marx,
Dr. F. J. Friedcrich, Miss Florence
Roberts.
Violas-Mr. W. C. Laws, Mr.
Thiclhorn.
Cellos Mr. Theo. Frederiksen, Mr.
Carl E. Franseen.
Bass Mr. Everest.
Pianist Miss Anna Shistad.
Organist Miss Pearl Estes.
The chorus was unequivocally
good, nicely balanced, true to every
demand made upon it; giving forth
its work in flawless tone and time
and adding conspiuously to the pleas
ures of the evening; responsive, in
terested, full of feeling and interpret
ing its work carefully and with true
harmonic effect, and accentuating the
solo work at all points by quick and
faithful assumption of the choral
strains and lines. Those responsible
for this element of the fine engage-j
ment were: l? I
The Misses Elsie Elmore, Frances
Estes, Lena Fastabend,
derson, Blanche Heron, Viola Lash,
Bertha Kreibolm, Frida Bock, Mar
garet Higgins, Alice Kearney, Ger
trude Kearney, Lois Parker, Bessie
Reed, Bertha Stephenscn, Lois Car
nahan, Esther Nylund, Grace Stokes,
Margaret Sauter, Ella Thompson,
Nellie Utzinger, May Utzinger, Alice
Woods, Hattie Wise, Wilma Young,
Mrs. C. H. Abercrombie, Mrs. J. T.
Allen, Mrs. A. A. Finch, Mrs. W. W.
Ridehalgh, Mrs. C. B. Allen.
Dr. Emil Enna, as sponsor, artist,
teacher, leader, the Astorian has dealt
with, and has done it sincerely and
gladly; yet it may claim the last word
of cheer and praise for the man who
has set the new society on its feet,
and to whose fostering care and in
terest it will ,in a large, measure, re
main there. He was the life of the
concert as well as its master.
Mrs. A. A. Finch, the soprano solo
ist of the evening, was at her very
best and that is saying nearly all at the
command of any Astorian, person or
newspaper; she was wonderfully suc
cessful in her leadership of the chorus
work, and happily distinctive in the
special a'ssginments. Her voice is
always a delightful feature, when,
and wheresoever, she uses it, social
ly, or in the wider sphere of public
attraction, and her offerings on
Thursday night have but amplified
the universal pleasure with which
it is always received here.
Mrs. J .T. Allen, who served in the
dual capacity of alto soloist and vio
linist, disposed of her work at all
points with the conscientious and de
voted excellence that has marked her
as one of the leading musicions of the
city.' Her voice solos were especially
appreciated, when it became known
that she had assumed the assignments
billed to Miss M. E. Conyers of Port
land, who ,at the last moment was
taken ill, and had to forgo her en
gagement to sing. Mrs. Allen left
nothing to be desired in all she did,
and it is freely admitted on all sides
that she could not have done more,
nor in nvre delightful fashion.
Miss Esther Sundquist, perhaps
the youngest instrumentalist appear
ing at this popular concert, was in
superb spirit for her work, and her
rendition of "The Evening Star"
from Wagner's Tannhauser, and the
equally charming violin solo "The
Watch of the Guardian Angels," by
Picrne, were received with frank de
light by the big house. Her work was
a revelation to the Astoria public,
despite the fact of its pleasant famil
iarity with Miss Sundquist's clever ca
pabilities for months past, at the Star
Theatre. Those who are in position
to speak, foretell a promising future
for this young lady if she shall main
tain her devotion to the art and its
deeper studies.
Mrs. Frank L, Bishop's fine alto
voice was heard to remarkable ad
vantage in the solo theme of "At
the Cloister Gate," a part she kindly
took over upon very short notice, and
most faithfully and charmingly ful
filled. Mr. F. G. Eichenlaub, one of the
young musical leaders of Portland,
and a profound student of the. violin
gave a number of superb themes in a
manner that made him a host of
warm admirers in Astoria. His mas
tery of the violin was acknowledged
instantly and his treatment of the dif
ficult and beautiful numbers, such as
Musin's Valse d'Conccrt, the Wagner-
Wilheltnj paraphrase "Preisilied,"
the Aire Russe, and others of the
same ilk, left no sort of doubt in the '
popular mind as to his splendid abili
ties, recognition of which was in
stantaneous and generous.
Mr. (John Claire Monteith, the
famous baritone of Portland, and
popularly known in Astoria, both as
artist and teacher, was among the
stars of the evening, and contributed
several exquisite songs, each suc
ceeding number being responsible for
the zest with which everything he did
was received by the home that knew,
admired and appreciated him.
Miss Beatrice Hidden, also from
the metropolis, and u pianist of cul
ture, served as accompanist in all the
leading work of the hour, and did it
to the limit of graceful and compen
sating rendition. Miss Anna Shistad
was the accompanist for the Phil
harmonic Society and carried her end
of the splendid schedule through to
the entire satisfaction of the whole
house, on and off the stage. j
The quartette work of the Misses i
May Utzinger, Nellie Utzinger, Eliz
abeth Reed, and Mrs. J. T. Allen, in
"The Garden of Flowers," was unim
peachable, and gave marked pleasure,
which was promptly emphasized at

concerted work in "At the Cloister

From beginning to end, there was
every known sign of careful prepara
tion and devoted interest in the in
itial concert of the society, and it is
of record as one of the most delight
ful local affairs ever provided in this
city. An assurance that carries with
it a deep sense of regard for the un
remitting labors of the able secre
tary, Mr. G. Zigler, who was almost
ubiquitous during the months of
preparation, and to whose clever
care of details the wonderful success
of the event is very largely due.
There is but one wish aboard here
in relation to the Philharmonic so
ciety, and that it may become per
manent and famous; no less.
