from the Atlantic Coast, will be sent
out to their stations April 20, Captain
Charles F. Pond just having reached
a decision in the matter. No. 88 will

been erected at Utter Rock, and pro
visions are made for establishing a

future.
The Lurline came down yesterday
at 4 o'clock p. m., which is getting to
be a custom of hers. She brought
down about 30 passengers, among
whom were Edward Joseph, from Al
toona, and little Miss Alice Stryker,
of Tacoma who came over from Ta
coma to meet her father, Steward
James Stryker, of the Lurline, and
take a ride with him up and down
the river. "Jimniie" was as proud
as two or three fathers and both
were enjoying things immensely.
When the Lurline went up last even
ing at 7, she had on board J. G. Al
ger, and Miss A. Smith, as Portland
passengers. The lines of the Lurline
were hardly fast to the dock yester.
day before there was a fire call, for
practice and there were a lively few
moments on board.

The schooner Lottie Benett ar
rived down on the hawser of the Ock-
lahama yesterday morning early from
Westport, where she loaded at the
mills of the Westport Lumber Com
pany, and got away about two hours
before the fire which destroyed that
plant, broke out. She went to sea
almost on the instant the tug Wallula
picking her up as the Ocklahama
dropped her.

There is but one quicker tailing

The remarkable feat of the French

At the meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce tomorrow night a resolu
tion will be offered by Manager
Whyte for an amendment of the con
stitution of the organization, with the
purpose in view of placing alt the
executive authority of the Chamber
m the. hands of a committee of nine
men. This committee of nine men
would for all practical purpose con
stitute the Chamber of Commerce,
for if the amendment is carried it
will mean that the methods of con
ducting the business of the organiir
tion as heretofore carried on will be
done away with. The committee of
nine would appoint the president,
manager, and other officers, from its
own membership and would carry on
the business of the Chamber.
That is the system under which
the Portland and other Chambers are
carried on, especially in large cities,
and the plan may meet with favor
here.
The proposed amendment reads as
follows:
"To amend Section I of Article IV
of the Constitution of the Astoria
Chamber of Commerce so as to en
large the executive committee and
making the article which now reads:
."The officers of this Chamber
shall consist of a president, vice
president, secretary and treasurer,
and an executive committee of three.
and such other committees as the
Chamber may from time to time de
termine.' "So as to read as follows:
"The officers of this Chamber shall
consist of a president, vice-president,
secretary and treasurer and execu
tive committee of nine members, and
such other committees as the Cham
ber may from time to time deter
mine. The president shall appoint
immediately after his election, on
March 22, 1909, the nine members of
this executive committee. At the first
meeting of this executive committee.
it shall be determined which three
us memoers snail serve one year,
hich three two years, and which
three three years. At the annual
meeting to be held on the second
Monday evening in March, 1910,
7:30 o'clock, the Chamber shall elect
three members of the executive com
mittee and at every annual meeting
thereafter the Chamber shall elect
three members of the executive com
mitte. Immediately 'hereafter this
committee shall meet and organize,
electing a president, vice-president
secretary and treasurer for the Cham
ber, said officers being members of
said executive committee. The exe
cutive committee shall hold regular
meetings and shall transact all the
business of the Chamber. All parts
of the constitution in conflict here
with are hereby repealed."

A MANUFACTURED CLIMATE,
The gardeners of Paris get their
products on the market weeks before
the regular teason for them. Thin
forcing of nature it described by Kr
nest Poole in "Success Magatine."
The secret is simply this: The
French maraicltert have manufactur
ed a climate to suit them. As one ob
server has said, "They have moved
the climate of Monte Carlo up to the
suburbs of Paris."
Some new prodigy of modern
science, this? Not at all. Only enor
mous expense in money and in time.
The gardens, whenever possible, are
placed on land with a slope to the
south, and are well protected by walls
The ground is practically covered
with glass, not as in a greenhouie,
but by gla frainci in the open,
"three-light frames of uniform siie,
twelve feet by four and a half; and
ato by glans belli These.too, are of '
uniform sire, about the shape of t
chapel bell, a little lets than seven
teen inches in diameter and from
fourteen to fifteen inches high. The
French call them cloches. You may
often see over a thousand frames and
over ten thousand giant bells in tne
two-acre plot in (he miluirb of Paris.
A more recent innovation I the
employment of hot-water pipe run
under the soil, making of the earth a
veritable steam-heated hotel, with
this essential difference, that the hotel-keeper
here is desperately eager,
not to keep his guests, but to per
suade them to leave on the earliest
possible day.
SUNDAY'S ASSAILANT INSANE.
SPRINGFIELD, III., March 6.-
At midnight tonight the jury return
ed a verdict finding Sherman Potts
of Lovington, 111., insane, who a
week ago assaulted Evangelist Billy
Sunday with a buggy whip while
Sunday was upon the tabernacle plat
form before a crowd of people pray
ing. Potts has a hallucination that
he is commissioned by God to chas
tise certain persons of whose relig
ious methods he disapproves.
COMMISSION NAMED.
Will Visit Liberia and Investigate the

WASHINGTON, D. C, March 6.
Appropriations amounting to $20,
000 were provided dtlring the closing
hours of congress for expenses of a
commission composed of Robert G
Ogdcn, Jacob H. . Hollander and
Booker T. Washington, designated
the state department to investi
gate the conditions in Liberia. This
action, which met with the aoroval
f the British government, resulted
from a visit to this country last year
several of the officials from Li
beria and it is not believed thev i
ave any further significance than to
ssist the African republic to better j
financial conditions. 1
