.Men's Convention held in Oakland

other advertising matter.
We furnished copy and a number of

Secretary Wisdom in charge of the
Oregon ..Commission for the Seattle

large number of photographs, includ

Literature and Advertising.
. The commerce and navigation com
mittee, J. u- A. Eowlby, chairman,
assisted by Mr. Wingate, in January
prepared a most excellent map show
ing the North Back Railroad -. com
pleted through to Astoria from Pasco,
and the distances from Astoria to the
main grain points compared with the
distances from those points to Port
land and Seattle. About 639 of these
maps were photo-engraved and sent
together with aa argument why we
should have common point rates on
wheat to Astoria to all the newspa
pers and commercial organizations of
this state, and to prominent railroad
officials. ; This literature also showed
that the Port of Portland bill with the
completion of this road was a useless
piece of machinery so far as the inter
ests of the Columbia Valley from a
co-operating standpoint were con
cerned. ' ;,
During January we sent out 900
Ithaca, N. Y., photographs and litera
lure were seat is March to assist in
a revision of the Tarr-McMurray
geographies which are extensively
used in the public schools throughout
the country. "
Professor John C Pierson, princl
pal of the high school of Beloit, Wis.
was furnished with photographs dur
ing March to be used as stereoptican
slides to illustrate a lecture he was
delivering on the .West. ;
In May we sent out 1563 letters to
every manufacturer of wheat flour in
the United States with the exception
of those located in Oregon and Wash
ington as these names were given in
the Manufacturers Red Book. These
series of letters led to an interminable
amount of correspondence and nego
tiations concerning the proposed flour
mill, these negotiations not yet hav
ing terminated. With each one of
these letters to the flour manufactur-j
crs was also sent a specially prepared
folder and map on transportation ad
vantages of about 2000 words, also a
letter on transportation signed by F.
53,937

Promotion Work.
Tn June Mr, If. G. Van Dusen lo
cated on the Walluski, Frank and
Charles Schultx from Kootenai,
Idaho. In July he located Antoine
Bartness and wife from Saskatche
wan, Canada, in the same locality.
In September Mr. A. R. Cyrus lo
cated Robert A. Chambers, wife and
child, near Olney, and in November
he located Mr. O. W. Straight of
Delta, Colo, on a piece of land near
Knappa and five other families Mr.
Straight has told us, will also locate
adjoining him, now that he has found
a location that suits him.
The Astoria Abstract Title 8c Trust
Co. has located Heinrich Witte of
Takua, Mont, on the Lewis and
Clark.
Dr. J. Tuttle has located Victor Von
de Wicle of Weatherford, Okla., near
Seaside.
Altogether more than 64 business
prospectors, according to the regis
tration books, visited the offices of
the committee since March 3rd. j
Throughout the year the promotion
committee has- fully investigated the
kaolin deposits of this section with a
view of making pottery. Some money
was expended by the committee and
more by private parties who became
interested, and we have several por
celain cups in the office which ' have (Mass.), Chicago and New York.
mg held in the Chamber but there
were afterwards dimensions such that
it was impossible to collect the
money,
Mr, F. L. Evans, the present pro
moter of (he proposed. . -electric rail
road from here to Seaside correspond
ed with this committee for some time
before coming here in May, Through
our secretary, H. G. Van Dusen,
E, Ferguson and others, com
pany was later formed which com
pleted the survey of this proposed
line and later secured richt-of-way.
Mr. Evans informs us that the money
for the road is in hand and that con
struction will begin as soon as all of
the right-of-way details have been
straightened out.
The chemical . analysis and state
ment which we secured from the
government through Dr. L F. Haw-
ley showing the various bi-produets
in the waste stumps of this section
has been sent in printed form to all of
the manufacturer of such bi products
m the United States and some nego
tians are under way which may lead
to the establishment of a factory here.
We have offered free stumps to any
such factories that may locate in this
vicinity and in sme cases, bonuses in
addition to the stumps have been of
fered if all the stumps should be re
moved from the land. .
On September 2nd the promotion
committee gave an option to a New
York party for a very large flour mill
site, with the provision that a million
dollar flour mill and grain elevator
was to be built upon it, but the terms
of the agreement which expired De
cember 2nd, could not be carried out
by the man who secured the fran
chise.
During the year with the assistance
of tbe Chamber we were enabled to
establish an independent steamship
line to San Francisco and we believe
it has been of great assistance to our
merchants and should be enthusiast!
cally supported in the future.
Advertising Space Purchased.
During the year we have run these
ads in the papers named:

is as strong as any probably ever
written on the Astoria transportation
problem. Mr. McKercher was for
merly city treasurer of Portland and
county treasurer of Multnomah coun
ty and is now secretary of the Equit
able Savings & Loan Association.
In June a circular letter was sent to
every soft wood manufacturer in the
United States and to every lumber
mill calling attention to the excellent
water and rail and other facilities for
a sawmill or for a mill to manufac
ture any of the products that can be
made out of soft lumber. Correspond
ence developed from this series of cir
culars and some of the largest con
cerns doing business in this line have
promised to visit Astoria for the pur
pose of looking into the conditions
enumerated. There were about 1100
of these letters.
A circular letter was sent out to
every oil driller in tbe United States,
about 3000 in number, the names be
ing obtained from the monthly re
views Of the Oil City Derrick publish
ed in Oil City, Pa. These have led to
numerous negotiations, several of
which are still under way and prom
ise very soon to bring forth the de:
sired results.
The envelope adopted by the com
mittee with the "Astoria is the Place
For You" emblem, has attracted
much favorable attention and many!
of our private business men and firms
have adopted it and we recommend it
for the adoption of every business
man or firm 1n tbe city and county.
During the latter part of the year
2000 large illustrated bulletins were
prepared and used in the correspond
ence and advertising work and seem
to be having excellent effect
In' a summary it may be said that
we have sent out during the year the
following advertising matter and
literature, making - altogether 53,937
pieces, some of which went to nearly
every country in the world:

We wish to acknowledge the kind
assistance given us by the County
Court and its appropriation of $500.
it seems to us in view of the efforts
put forth by the citizens of Astoria
that the county may rightfully aid in
carrying forward advertising and pro
motion work, as any benefits derived
are enjoyed as much by the county as
by tne city.
The committee has learned from its
experience that one of the great orob-
lems which we must meet and over
come is the clearing off of stump
lands, we most cordially recom
mend the plari which we have begun
of jeasing these lands to ' practical
farmers for a term of ten years, giv
ing them all they can raise for clear
ing and cultivating, We also rec
ommend to the attention of those
who are interested in clearing off
lands, the method of burning stumps
by means of a blower. Porter Brother.
the contractors, say they believe this
method will solve the problem. Any
tarmer can operate one and the total
cost is about $300.
We recommend that persistent and
organized work be done during the
coming year towards securing, if pos
sible, a completed good road all the
way to Portland so that automobiles
may come from the Oregon metropo
lis to Clatsop Beach. With the con
necting road we now have across the
soft sands, the most important auto
mobile races of the Northwest could
be held on this beach thus greatly ad
vertising Clatsop county and Astoria,
These races would especially benefit
the hotels of Astoria and Seaside. .,
We recommend that the Clatsoo
Beach Chautauqua if possible be held
during the coming season. The
ground for that purpose has been pur
chased and the necessary buildings as
sured. This Chautauqua might be tak
en up as a private enterprise and
made to pay. The promotion com
mittee might further it if sufficient
funds are available, as one plan has
been submitted and which will be
available at any time whereby a com-'
