"To The Astorian:
"Replying to the clipping from the
Tillamook Headlight as. published, in
your paper rf the 6th, I wish to sayr It
seems hardly fair for the citizens of
Tillamook to allow a report of a
meeting of the business men of the
nature of the one mentioned to be
circulated at large in such an erron
ous manner. The writer was present
at a meeting as mentioned and all due
courtesy was extended and although
but two hours' notice was given about
20 of the business men, including Mr.
Maker, manager, editor and typo, of
the Headlight, were present. It was
generally conceded that owing to the
fact that Tillamook had already made
gift of $10,000 with a promise of an
other $10,QOQ to one railroad that an
additional $10,000 although to be re
l lit
iiirneu wouia oe an impossible sum
to raise,
In talking the matter over with
one of the leading business men he
said, owing to the fact that Tilla
mook has only about one-sixth as
much bank deposits as Astoria it
would therefore be as hard to raise
$10,000 at Tillamook as would be to
raise $60,000 at Astoria. This fact com
ing from a banker and with the fact
above stated that, already a gift of
an amount equal to 5 per cent of the
deposits of the comity had been made
one-half of which was still unpaid
the writer thought it useless to at
tempt to form a company at this time.
But to the manager, editor and typo
of the Headlight we wish to mention
that jn no city, large or small have
we received more consideration and
more . courteous treatment and a
heartyhearty good-will than from
the progressive business men of Til
lamook and especially to the Astoria,
Seaside & Tillamook Railway Co.

"J. E. BUFFUM."

COUNCIL MAY BE ASKED TO
ACT ON COMMERCIAL AND
EXCHANGE DEAL.
AnnDunoement is made that prop
erty holders along the thoroughfares
in question nave commenced an agi
tation of the question of widening
Commercial street and Exchange
street between Seventeenth and
Twenty-third.
The matter has already progressed
so far that it is probable that a peti
tion to this effect will be presented to
the Common Council. The plan is to
widen both streets to 80 feet. They
are now 60 feet.
The desirability of having these
portions of Commercial and Ex
change streets made broader is, per
haps, unquestioned. That the work
can be done now at comparatively
slight'eost to the city and to the
adjacent property owners is appar
ently the belief of those who are fa
voring the improvement, and it seems
a self-evident proposition that year
by year the cost of . making the
change would but become greater.
If that part of the city is to be
given over to business pmuits in
the years to come, wider streets will
be imperatively required. The pres
ent streets in the center of the busi
ness portion of the city are an ob
ject lesson, and in the event that the
city were to ever double or treble in
size, the present 60-foot streets only
60 feet from the property line to
property line would . unquestionably
prove entirely too narrow.

AMUSEMENTS
One swallow does not make a sum- j
mer, neither does one comedian
make a minstrel show. Managers of
the old school used to contend that
one real actor, and 15 or 16 "sticks,"
and a band of ten pieces (it was often
eight), was sufficient for a minstrel
show; that the public would be amply
satisfied, and history proves the truth
of their contention, for the public
would accept them, whether they were
satisfied or not.
But there has been a vast change
in the last few years, the day of the
one man show is over, the public de
mand a company of uniform excel
lence, and every actor must be an
artist.
Mistakes to the wise man are but
stepping stones to success, and the
managers of Richards & Pringle's '
Famous Minstrels were the first to
ralize that if Minstrelsy was to live
and flourish, radical and important
changes were necessary. These
changes called for a vast outlay of
money but their success has well
justified their conviction.
Today they stand the acknowledg
ed leaders in this branch of the
amousement business, and no well
informed student of the stage will
challenge this statement.
They travel' in their own palace
cars and number 40 people. Twelve
comedians of national reputation vie
with each other in the fun-making.
There are 20 trained singers, a sex
tette of nimble dancers, eight vaude
ville acts, and a band of 20 solo musi
cians. They will appear at the Astoria
Theatre on ' Saturday for a matinee
on night performance.
"THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE
EARTH."
In the new spectacular melo-drama
which Klimt & Gazzolo are exploit
ing, called "The Four Corners of the
Earth," the hero, Jack Morton, proves
to be a genuine "globe-trotter," trav
eling thousands of miles in pursuit of
his sweetheart who, through a unique
plot,' is hustled from one point of the
globe to another in a very sensational
nianner. There are no less than 14
beautifully designed and painted sets
of scene'ry used in this play and from
