. 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. '

tions received from Major J. C. Post,

DID YOU EVER MEET A TRULY
GOOD MAN?
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,
