PHONE 71t PHONE 38T1 UNIONTOWN BRANCH PHONE 713 the local Chamber of Commerce as a CHAMBER RECALLS Hi DISCOURTESY PROPOSAL TO BANQUET PORT LANDERS IS DEEMED AS A JOKE BY LOCAL BODY. If there is any truth in the old childhood belief that one's ears tingle when anyone is talking of you, there must have been a big buzzing in the heads of a lot of the Portland Com mercial Club men last night. For the Astoria Chamber of Commerce spent an hour discus.sing Portland and its eommercial bodies. It was a decided warm discussion. Had any of the Portland men been present even they would have enjoyed it from begin ning to end, and the best of the whole matter was the element1 of humor that tinged the hour's talk. 1 . Recently a communication from the Commercial Club of Portland to the Astoria Chamber of Commerce stated in a casual mater of fact way that its members were coming down to Astoria, and the communication tarried with it a faint hint that the Portlanders wouldn't mind being wined an dined and properly feted in a sort of brotherly-love way. "Once upon a time," said Judge Taylor, "we invited the Portland Chamber of Commerce down to As toria. We believed in getting to gether. We wanted to be friendly. And we dined them and banquetted them and gave them the glad hand, and did it all in a sincerely friendly manner. "In the course of time we received an invitation from the secretary of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, asking us to go there. Many of our members went, and we were not met at the train, and there was no ban quet for us; there was not even a meeting which we could attend, and the Astoria men were left to walk the streets of Portland and enjoy them selves as best they could. It was an insult of such magnitude that I am prone to think none of those who went to Portland that time will be likely to forget it." When Judge Taylor told his tale he smiled, and others smiled. President Schollield rose and held out an olive branch. He went over the arguments usual in such a case; that it is best to forgive and forget, and that to meet an enemy face to face is the best way of winning him over. Besides , what happened ten years ago was almost ancient his tory, and the new men in the Port land Commercial Club might be of a different kind , than those who failed so lamentably, once before. But Mr. Scholfield's hope of pouring oil on the troubled waters seemed to fail, and it brought forth some pretty harsh criticism of the men who do business up Portland way. Most, however, seemed to see more humor in the matter than anything else, for to them tHe idea of meeting Port land's studied discourtesy by heaping coals of lire on the heads of the men who now invite themselves to come here seemed to contain an element of humor. It was agreed that if the Portland men wished to come here to meet the men they sell bills of goods to, that they should be made very welcome by those individuals who may care to I body having anything to do with the matter was apparently too strong to be overcome by the arguments in favor holding out the olive branch. Incidentally it was brought out in the meeting that the local merchants are now. buying largely from San Francisco wholesalers because they can get their goods cheaper from the California town, though Portland is only 100 miles distant and San Fran cisco is 800 miles away. It seems high time for the Portland men to do something to hold their trade here and probably some decently lower rates on bills of goods anil some faint intimation of an apology for the cool as a cucumber discourtesy of a number of years ago might now be in order, according to the sentiment that apparently prevailed at the meet ing last night. The only matter of importance that arose at the session last night was a motion made by W. E. Buffum that a committee be appointed for the purpose of endeavoring to see what can be done to purchase Tongue Point to be used as a city park. Th proposal apparenty met with instant favor. "Astoria should have a public park," said Mr. Buffum, "and the little place that it now calls by the name of city park is hardly worthy of any consideration. It is bare; there isn't even a place to sit down, there is no shade, and in no sense of 'the word is it or can it ever be'a park of the kind the city requires." Mr. G. Wingate suggested that Mr. Hammond might possibly donate a portion of the Tongue Point grounds for the" purpose suggested, and a committee consisting of W. E. Buf fum, G. L. McCloud and J. H. Whyte was appointed to take the matter up with Mr. Hammond. It is said, how ever, that it is quite possible that Mr. Hammond may himself want to keep jhc grounds for private uses, and that therefore he is hardly likely to do nate or sell them to the city. Upon motion of Mr. Wingate the Port of Astoria bill will be brought up for discussion and action imme diately after the reading of the minutes at the next meeting.
