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.
