the Astorians returned at a. late hour,
thoroughly pleased with their outing.

INVITATION OF JAPANESE
.CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE
SEEMS TO HAVE A BIG
STRING TIED TO IT.
Announcement wa madein the of
fice of the Chamber of Commerce yes
terday that the proposed trip to Jap
an u;jon the invitation of several of
the Nipponese Chambers of Com
merce will cost each one who goes in
the neighborhood of $600. This fact
will undoubtedly cause no ljttle
amazement among all those who had
signified their intention of accepting
the invitation.
Recently the announcement was
made from San Francisco that the
Chambers of Commerce of Tokio and
one or two other Japanese towns had
extended an invitation to visit Japan;
the invitation being to the San Fran
cisco and other Pacific Coast organi
zations. Then, it appeared, San Fran
cisco "invited" Portland, and Port
land "invited". Astoria.
And now comes the somewhat dis
concerting information that each in
vited guest is expected to pay con
siderable more than he would have
to pay if he went first class on a
private trip of his own. The $60Q
should permit someone to make a bit
of money out of the voyage, even if
champagne was served from "soup to
nut."
It is thought by some that the an
nouncement of the $600 charge is a
"frame up" on the part of someone,
either in Portland or San Francisco,
to frighten off the many who were
planning to go. About a dozen from
this city, had formally requested to
join the party. Possibly the "frame
up" Jias its origin in the presumed
fact that so many wished to go that
some one deemed it best t to scare
most of them out of the trip.

Lum Pye Arrested
The gods of the Chinese joss houses
were unkind to Lum Tye last night.
Lum is the Celestial who until recent
ly was the proprietor of the Usonia,
a boarding house near the Clatsop
mills. Last night he came1 down from
Portland and it was his especial de
sire not to meet, any one who knew
him.. Yet, as he got off the train on
the far side, who should he run into
but Police Officer Hanson, who was
there watching for people who get
off on the wrong side of the train.
The police officer and the Chinaman
came around into the light, and while
Lum was telling all about it, Con
stable Sayer stepped forward and
grabbed Lum Pye and hastily hustled
him off to the donjon keep in the
nether part of the city hall. There is
a warrant out' for Lum. It accuses
him of selling a talking machine that
didn't belong to him It is also that
for i a Chinaman Lum Pye is a
very unusual man, for heowes many
bills. '

Where Do They Start
The live newspaper man is con
tinually up against the canard. The
canard is the story of interest with
out shadow of truth or fact. They
are senseless, disappointing, and often
harmful. Where do they start? Any
reporter can tell where the most of
them end. The Astoria is moved to
this comment by having one of these
lively things thrust across its path
yesterday. The source from which it
came was, practically, unimpeachable
and it ran to the effect that a certain
prominent municipal officer, popular
ly respected and wholly responsible,
had filed his resignation with the
civic authorities; that it would be
acted upon in due course; that the re
signing official would thereafter en
gage in. commercial pursuits, his ex
tensive interests therein having been
acquired some time ago. Seeking for
confirmation, the party in question
was approached, and the entire story
was flatly and unequivocally denied,
from beginning to end, and the' de
nial emphasized by most excellent
reasons for its utter ambiguity- and
impossibility. But the story is still
r
going on its" foolish way and will
probably keep on till knocked out by
the public declaration of its false
hood, by the man at interest.
