The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1899-09-29

The stirring movements planned or
in progress up and down the Pacific
coast for the enlargement OF commerce
and business seem to have no effect on
Astoria When Seattle succeeded after
q hard struggle IN getting the govern
ment to recognize Puget sound in the
transport service, the Tacoma chamber
Of commerce was Immediately reorgan-
lied and went TO work with such vigor
that the government business from the
Sound is now about equally divided
between its two main ports. Here on
the Columbia river the Oregonlan and
Portland have plowed the ground and
Astoria has only to put in her claims to-
receive a share Of the transport bus
mess, but Astoria's chamber Of com
merce remains dead to the opportunity
and Portland, with infinitely fewer ad-
vantages against the real seaport Of
Astoria than Seattle against Tacoma, is
preparing to hog the whole benefit
which the government designs for Ore
gon and the Columbia river Is It pos
sible that Astoria business men are
going to let the world infer that there
is but one city in the Columbia river
region and that the only seaport Of
Oregon is located on a branch Of that
river more than 100 miles from the
ocean? Why doesn't the chamber Of
commerce hold meeting and at least
pass a resolution" on that subject?
1t is reported from Washington that
two more army transports will be fitted
out on the Columbia river Will Astoria
sit quietly by and allow these ships to
sail up and down past her docks with
out at least letting 1t be known that
she is in a position to handle some Of
the business? There is no transport
in the government service that could

not bc fitted out, from the repairs to her
machinery to the purchase Of every
ounce OF stores and provisions required,
right in Astoria and without the impor-
tation OF one single mechanic or ar
,ieleg In fact there is reason to be-
ieve, all essentials to the transport
service could be obtained cheaper and
more expeditiously in the seaport Of
Astoria than at the river town OF Port
land way up In the interior Astoria
has been building and outiittlng ships
for upwards OF a century and that sort
OF business is next to the greatest
industry Of the community. There are
machine shops in Astoria fully ade-
quate to any demands OF the transport
service, and there are at least three
business houses which carry everything
needed for stores and supplies. Is there
any reason, therefore, why Astoria
should not have a part OF the businessY
And how can 1t be obtained unless the
people Of Astoria so after II among
other communities which are eompet-

So"
Trieste was all alive to receive the
American admiral and his stay there
was marked by amiable cordlallty on
the part Of the authorities and by ex.
ceptIonal friendlIness and hospitality
at the hands Of the people. When one
Of the crew died in the hospital on
shore the number OF persons who at
tended the funeral was a surprise to
everyone, some estimates placing II at
$1,000. There were no entertainments
Of note, except one given to the ad-
mlral and his stan by the United
States ambassador to Austria Hun
gary. The only incident Of this evening
and Of the return dinner given on
board the flagship, two days afterward,
was Dewey's declaration that he hoped
Mckinley would be reelected to the
chief magistracy. While Admiral Dew
ey is a notably impulslve man, II
seems that he expressed this wish at
the time and In the place that he
chose for so doing; not on the spur Of
the moment, but with a definite deter
mlnatlon to put an end to the attempts
that had been made to drag him into
politics and induce him to run for the
presidency. One who was a guest at
both Of the banquets told me that
on each occasion the admiral used
nearly the same language when drink
ing the health Of the president Of the
United States. It is generally the habit
OF naval officers to speak Of the presl-
dent by his official title-the president
instead Of mentioning the name Of the
incumbent Of the place. But at the am
bassador's banquet, after the toast to
the president had been proposed, Ad-
miral Dewey raised his glass and said
Yes, here's to the president-Presl-
dent Mckinley. hope he will be re-
elected"
At the dinner In his own cabin he
said
There will be only one toast tonight,
gentlemen. Here's to the president

greatest benefit from the transporta-

condition they are unable to provide
cars for the hauling Of the fuel, owing
to the unprecedented handling Of other

AT a recent convention Of business
men In the East a special topic for dis.
cussion was The Best Way 10 Adver
tise With a View to the Promotion o.
Business" John H. Holiday. of In.
dianapolis, one Of the most successful
business men Of the Middle West. made
some suggestions as to the method
adopted by the company OF which he
is the head which may be read with
profit by some Astoria merchants who
see no advantage in newspaper ad-
vertising. Mr. Holiday said:
Il think the very best method of
building up any business is through
the medium Of advertising in a we'll
read daily paper. You have TO make
people understand that you are alive
and continually reaching after more
trade. When we frat began we ad-
Vertlsed very literally with one idea
OF Keeping our name before the pub
hc' do not know that we expected to
DO anything by our advertising except
to advertise our name. 1t proved such
results, however, that we have ever
since then continued to keep ourselves
before the public by special advertising
IN two or three Of the principal daily
papers. not with the idea OF saying
too much, but simply that the people
may see the name again and again
and be kept in perpetual remembrance

Tacoma Ledger.
1t is my intention to impress, as far
as possible, upon the business men.
through their chamber Of commerce.
that the possibilities Of trade between
the United States and the Orient are
almost beyond reckoning" This is the
most important utterance OF MIR. Yokoo.
who Is now visiting this city in connec-
tion with cotton shipments between the
Pacific coast and Japan, He speaks
with particular reference TO the busi-
ness with which he is connected, but
the general statement is perfectly true
Of many large lines OF trade.
We must not forget. In our aecustom-
ed habit ot regarding the Oriental peo-
pies as semi-developed. that they are
quite as shrewd in n business way as
We ourselves. They have not the same
training. but they are sufficiently sa-
gacious to forecast the future course OF
trade and to gather from IL their own
advantages. II is probably true that
the interest today In China and Japan
in the possible growth OF commerce be-
tween those countries and our Pacific
coast, is as keen and intense as It Is
with US Therefore. the oorroboratlon
oy such an authority OF what the ablest
men in this country are saying, Is more
than usually significant.
AS Mr.. Yokoo says. the business inter-
ests OF the Orient and OF the United
States ut into each other in such fash
ion that commerce between them can
multiply almost indefinitely to the I'm
mense advantage OF both. The fact
and its bearing on practical business
are things which we wish to bring home
directly to the people OF Tacoma. This
enormous trade is as sure to come as
the harvest is to follow the sowing OF
the seed. All that remains doubtful is,
who are TO be the reapers, Who will
do the lions share OF this business?
What communities will furnish to these
strange and eager peoples the things
which they most desire and cannot pro-
duce themselves. From what ports shall
they be carried. and into what harbor
shall float the returning argosies that
bring to US the wealth OF the ancient
east.
They who are first to appreciate the .
opportunity and to sieze It will be the .
sharers Of this rich and honorable spoil. I
For the business houses whose agents .
are sent early across the Pacific to es-
tablish communication with trading
concerns there; for the men who are
quick to see the Importance Of an early
start and a tight grip; for the city
which makes the most earnest and sue
cessful effort, not merely to control
but to furnish for itself
the business that is to be done on one
side, and to make itself the accredited
agent of the other, there will be the
greatest gain and the most triumphant
future.
This Is a subject before whose inter.
est and Importance all other questions
that Interest US locally pale into inslg-
nificance.
