THE DAILY AST0U1AN, ASTORIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 9, UHl CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. Proceedings of tho Last Regular Meet ing The chamber of commerce held Its reguliij,8eml-monthly meeting on Mon day evening. Present, G. Wlngate, pres ident, In the chair; K. W. Tallnnt, vice president; E. C. Holden, secretary; Messrs. C. W. Fulton, F. J. Taylor, Jas. W. Welch, S. S. Gordon and others. The commute to which was referred the question of securing increased facil ities for the lighting and navigating of the mouth of the Columbia river made the following report: . Astoria, Or., May 7, 1894. To the President and Members of the Chamber of Commerse: Your special committee, to whom was referred the maiter of lighting the mouth of the Co lumbia river, In order that the same .might be navigated In the night time, beg leave to report that we have hod the matter under consideration, and ad vise that a memorial, or petition, be sent to our delegation in congress, ask ing them to take such action as, in their Judgment, will cause the general government to act In the matter, and J cause the entrance to be lighted. We have prepared a memorial of that na ture,' and herewith present the same for the consideration of the chamber. Very respectfully, FRANK J. TAYLOR, E. W. TALLANT, S. S. GORDON, ' Committee. Astoria, Or., May 7, 1891. . To the Hons. J. N. Dolph and J. H. Mitchell, U. S. Senators, and Hons. W. R. Ellis and Blnger Hermann, Repre sentatives In Congress, from Oregon: Your memorialists, the chamber of commerce, of Astoria, Or., hereby call j your attention to the desirability and necessity of the general government so lighting the channel at the entrance to the Columbia river that shipping may be able to pass In and out in the night time. Shipping to and from the Columbia river has crown to such nrnnnrtlnnn will, In the judgment of this chamber, Justify the government In making the necessary expenditure, to accomplish the desired' end. The San Francisco steamers arrive p.t and depart from this port every five days at the present time, and increase their trips to every four days when .'business is good. These Hteamers generally arrive off the en trance to the river before daylight, and often before midnight, but are unable to enter, for the reason that there are no range lights to guide them In. And so It is with coasters, bound here from sea-coast ports. Often these latter d slra to leave port, before daylight, in order to reach ond enter some coast port before dark of the succeeding night or at high water during the day, but are unable to do so, owing to their In ability to go out of the Columbia river before daylight. It has been urged that no shipping passes in and out of the Columbia river In the night time, and that, therefore It Is unnecessary to place range Hghte there. This objection could be urged ajralnst any entrance where there are no range lights. The fact that ship ping does not now cross out and Into tne Columbia river In the night Ume shows tho necessity for establishing those aids to navigation which will make the en trance navigable In the night time, as well as In the day time. Until this is done the entrance will not be navigable at night, regardless of the extent to which commerce may grow. It has also been "urged that the Jetty which Is being built by the government at Point Adams Is causing changes In the channel at the entrance to the river, end that, until that improvement is completed and the channels have be come permanent as to location, the necessary expenditures to place range lights would not be justified. After con sulting with pilots and mariners en gaged in running In and out of the Co lumbia river,' we are of the opinion that this objection may be overcome by the establishing of lights, which may b: moved from time to time, as necessity requires. This could be done by placing a light ship in mid-channel, Inside the bar, and about oppoulte Cape Disap pointment, and causing colored rays of light, thrown from the Cape Disappoint ment light, to guide vessels along the river channel from Sand Island to Fort Stevens, and over the outer portion of the bar channel, thus enabling vessels, after taking their departure from the line of the colored lights, to steer di rectly for the light ship, she being with in easy distance; or ir mo vesi w near the light ship, she will be able to find the colored light, within easy dis tance from the light ship. A light ship anchored as above de sc.ibed would bo- a guide to shipping, not only in the night time, but In foggy weather, If she be equipped with a fog whistle. For this purpose alone we think the expenditure necessary to ac complish the desired object would be JustlfiiAle. In addition to the above objects, we think the anchorage of a light ship at the dieipnated point would be Justified in the saving of life which would be thereby accomplished. At this point many fishermen lose their lives by drowning each year, owing to the fact that the currents are so swift that once In them the fishermen are unable, un less the wind be strongly In their fa vor, to return to the harbor, and they are swept out to sea or Into the break ers and drown. It is claimed by those familiar with the facts and the location, that a light ship anchored at the point designated would save more lives each year than both of the life-saving sta tiors at the mouth of the Columbia river now do. The above are only part of the rea son why the entrance to the Columbia liver should be Hjrhted In some such manner as Btated, but we deem them sufficient, and respectfully ask that you will take such steps as in your judg ment will be most conducive to accom plish the desired result. On motion the report was adopted and the secretary instructed to mall duly authenticated coplt-N of the memorial to each of our congressional representa- tlves'In Washington. ' Secretary Holden- read communica tions received from Major J. C. Post, corps cf engineers. U. S.

No doubt you think you have, but we'll wager a dime or so he did not have the rheumatism. If he did, he swore occasionally, and no man can be truly good who swears occasionally, Health, nerve tranquility and morality are apt to go hand In hand. Painful spasmodic diseases like rheumatism and neuralgia ruin the temper, make one morose, peevish and rebellious. ThlB Is a sad fact, but it is none the less true. Drive away the pain, mollify the tem per, restore tranquility of mind In cases of rheumatism and neuralgia with Hos- tetter's Stomach Bitters, an anodyne and tonic of comprehensive range and effect. It healthfully stimulates the kidneys, bladder, stomach, liver and bowels when Inactive, and induces sleep and appetite. A very quieting effect, not an unnatural, stupefying one like that of an opiate. Is produced by a wine glassful before retiring-. It is Incom parable in malarial disease. STANDS WITHOUT A RIVAL. Gentlemen: I hnvj been troubled with very severe headaches for years, and have taken a great many different remedies, but have never found any thing to give me as speedy and perma nent cure as Krause's Headache Cap sules.' In my opinion they stand with out a rival; they have cured me In oxery case. JNO. N. WILKIE, 36 Adams ave.. West, Detroit, Mich. For sale by Chas. Rogers, sole agent, Astoria, Oregon.
