LITTLE PARTY MAKES SUN
DAY TRIP LSARN MUCH '
OF THAT REGION.
A little party of x eight went ' to
t'lMy s River Sunday on the ito.nner
Wenona and despite the, mist ' and
the clouds the trip proved a most .de
lightful one. The distance to.1, Re
serve's store on Gray's, Riverhead
of navigation on nC strcam-ris a
little '.over 20 miles from Astpri;, the
settlement, containing the Moscrve
store, the hotel and other buildings,
being seven miles up bray'sr river.
Those in the party were .Mr. jiid
Mrs. F'M. Crawford, Mr. and Mrs.
Oliver G. Campbell and Mr. and Mrs.
Vivian E. Hatch, and Carl li. Fran
seep and E. E. Gray. Captain Hull
of the Wenona also had several
guests, ' ; ' " ' ,' ''r..:
There are , doubtless manyin As:
toria who have never made the trip
to Gray's River. The stream is a
handsome one, Winding in and out
among its timbered banks or flowing
among wide, level fields dotted with
sleek cattle. With the sun shining
the river is most beautiful, so all
say, and even on a cloudy day it has
its distinct charms. It is placid and
quiet. The steamer Wenona makes a
daily trip daily, except Sunday,
though the Sunday trip is occasion
ally made, also carrying the mails and
articles for the farmers whose places
line the stream. A trip up this river
is doubly interestirig for the reason
that many aver that the lands ,that
lie along its banks are the richest,
for grazing and agricultural pur
poses, of any in this part of the
country, and whether this claim may
be borne out by the facts or not it
is evident that the land is rich and
the farmers richer. But the distinc
tive I eatrue of the Gray's River set
tlers, according to all reports, lies in
the fact that everyone along the riv
er has prospered in a remarkable
way. There aren't any "poor people"
there, every one says. Lands range
from $100 to $175 an acre -for the
rich bottom lands and less .than that
for the- mirshy and commoiieij kvel
lands. The hills are untouched, as
apparently the farmers are content
to work along with their cattle alone,
The houses are good, and one or
two of them are really fine. One new
one in course of building is along the
California bungalow, style, and in
many of the homesare hot and cold
water and modern bath tubs, and
other conveniences that the city man
usually thinks are for him alone.
Yet it, is possible to over-praise a
region, too; and the man familiar
with the methods of eastern farmers!
who probably, see much here to
cause him to wonder, wny tarmers
who are reputed to be wealthy will
leave great stumps by the dozen in
their beautiful fields may, perhaps,
cause milder wonder n any visitor's
mind, even if giant powder or dyna
mite do cost so much per pound.
Meserve's store is a'- remarkable
store. In Astoria it would put to
shame many of the best groceries. It
is big and light and airy and clean.
Upstairs is a fine hall, as good as
any in this city. 'A fine ten-pin alley
has also been constructed.' And thus,
with daily mail, with the magazines
and newspapers, and a rich and very
prosperous countury, the farmers "of
that region ought to be ' happy and
content. Game abounds, too, and in
the river are fish. Naturally enough,
the roads are not developed in many
places, but -where the roads are open
ed tehy , are said to be of the best
The river itself is the natural high
way and is used much. ; r ' ". li i
The party left at 9 o'clock in the
morning, and touched at Knappton,
It was after 6 in the evening when
the Wenona arrived home. . '

EE181 TAX LEVY
FOHIIEIW
THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
WANTS TAXPAYERS TO HELP
PAY PUBLIC EXPENSES.
At the regular meeting , of , the
Chamber of Commerce lust night the
ull.iwu'.H itsolutio-j v"i offere t
Pen Ih Wild, nnd was adopted:
' 'Whereas,' We believe' that "tlu1
benefits of municipal advertising,
publicity and promotion arc , shared
gonerilly.by the community ami for
t'nt reason, it.. would be just for all
property in any community 'carrying
on tuch work to bear an etunl por
tion of the expenses, therefore-be t
"Resolvcr, That this organ;7at'in
i in (ovr of submitting to,thc peo
ple nt the December election ' the
proposition of voting a two-mill tax
to carry on its present" advertising
publicity and promotion .work cud
helping to secure additional factorbs
and that a committee of three be ap
pointed )v the president, duly .111
thorized and empoweted to take tuch
steps as are necessary to prepars the
proper initiative measure."
In accordance with the terms of
the resolution, a committee of three
was 'appointed, as follows: B. L.
Ward, A. R. Cyrus and R. M. Cas
ton. ' V :. : , '. '
Efforts will be made to acquaint
the people of the city with the neces
sity of adopting the measure, for the
purpose of carrying on the work of
the Chamber of Commerce. Hereto
fore all of the expenses of the or
ganizatin have been met out of the
pockets of the members of the asso
ciation, and there is'a disposition to
feel that inasmuch as the Chamber s
work is a direct benefit to the whole
city that therefore all should join in
to pay te cost of the work of upbuild
ing the town.
Not alone will the efforts be made
to have the city give aid by taxation,
but it is planned to have the county
assist. To this end letters have been
written by the manager of the
Chamber, Mr. Whytc, to every mem
ber of the Oregon state senate, ask
ing thai a law be framed and passed
permitting counties . to levy taxes
for the purpose of assisting in such
work. While it is said that legally
there is no obstacle to a city grant
ing such publicaid now, that fhe
laws will have to be amended to
bring in the counties. The legisla
ture will be asked to adopt a law to
permit not only Clatsop county, but
every county in the state, to levy tax
ation for this purpose. '
"President Scholfield was not able
to be present at the meeting last
night and Mr. Wingate, the vice
president, acted as chairman of the
session. Announcement' was made
that the requisite number of signa- j
tures had been secured for the Port
of Astoria bill to place it before the
people at the coming municipal elec
tion. The next step will be to place i
the bill in the hands of the city
auditor. 1 ; " .; 1 -
The question of the excursion to
Spokane was also discussed favor
ably, and it is probable that such a
trip will be made when the time is
ripe. ' - . . . '
It was suggested that it would be
highly desirable to secure options oil
sites that woufd.be available for in
dustrial plants that might be secured
for ( Astoria. Experience has proven
that as soon as there is a plan to lo
cate some business plant here the
prices of available sites jump up at
oncef and therefore it was deemed a
good plan if it could be arranged to
secure options. But it was agreed
that it is probably- impracticable . to
secure options that are worthy; anyi
thing in this relation, for the ordi
nary man is not going to grant an
option on his place, tying it up, un
less he is well paid for it and unless
it is limited for a short time. ;.,
