Made to Advance the Citys Interests.
Tuesday evening at meeting called by
Secretary Mack the chamber of commerce
was re-Organized. The sentiment of the
meeting was earnest and hopeful, and all
present felt that the time had come when
the work should be taken up again, and
that the indications Of the times demand
ed it.
The meeting was called to order by
Chas. r. Bell, vice president Of the old
chamber, with suitable remarks. lie was
Immediately chosen chairman and w. B.
Mack secretary. Mr.. Mack gave his
reasons for calling the meeting, stating
there were several matters needing atten-
ton, and that he also desired to get an
expression from the citizens. In his
remarks he stated that the barrel factory
proposition was liable to be consumated
any day, that the parties wanted to come
and were making preparations to, and
were only waiting the positive settlement
of one outside contingency. The railroad
question was touched upon and he stated
that he had the pledge OF one man for
olie.fifth OF the amount necessary to build
the road on this side of the river.
Mr.. r. T. Dabney was called upon to
give some observations regarding his trip
east. He said that he believed there
would be a large immigration to this state
during the coming year; that many had
asked him in regard to fruit and agricul-
tural land. He believed there was plenty
of it around the harbor, and that if all OF
the land owners would get together and
put their land in at price which would
allow it to be cultivated at profit, this
much to be desired class could be attract
ed Whatever is done let the situation
and resources be carefully studied, and
then fairly stated; and efforts made for
such industries only as can be fairly ex-
pected to run at profit at this time and
place.
The question of cold storage plant was
brought up and discussed. Mr. Mack read
some letters from gentleman in Albion,
Mich, who wishes to come here and es-
stablish such an industry. VIM. Anstie
stated that he had made some investga-
tons and some efforts toward opening up
a market while in Chicago; that he was
arranging to forward samples of fish, but
that Portland and Tacoma parties were
throwing all possible obstacles in the way
Of the establishment of such an enter
prise on the harbor. Much enthusiasm
WAS worked up on this important subject,
and Messrs Hood, Young, Koehler, Linn
and Dabney were appointed a committee
to see what could be done toward secur.
ing a cold storage plant.
The Wishkah river harbor line matter
was brought up, and an effort will be
made to abolish them.
