The Astoria Progressive Commercial
Association met last evening In the
council chambers OF the city hall and
elected officers to serve through the
present year. The result OF the elec-
ton follows: President c. W, Carna-
han; vice. president, John Frye; Sec
retary, ]. A. Eakin; treasurer, ]. N.
Griffin; board of directors, Richard c.
Lee, Harrison Allen, c. r. Morse. John
Frye and A. S. Skyles. President Car
nahan announced that he will draw up
the committees during the next few
days and that he will report the same
at the next meeting of the association,
which viii be on the evening Of Janu-
ary "a. Besides the election of officers
last evening, the members talked in a
general way about the needs of the
county and city, 1t was practically
decided that the new road committee
will wait upon Road Master Frye at
an early date and learn from him
the exact condition and needs of the
Nehalem road to olney and an avail
able distance beyond, basing recon-
mendations to the county court upon
information thus acquired. The trend
Of the discussion was to the effect that
the road should be as narrow as prac-
ticable and as substantial as possible,
one of the members pointing out that
the latter course will pay in the long
run. The subject of new hotel for
the city also engaged the attention Of
the club for time, but no definite
course was shaped. 1t was apparent
from what was said, however that
the need of On up-to-date hotel Is APP
preeiated by the club, and that some
thing effective viii be done along this
line In the near future is certain.

Officials Of the county were not at
all pleased with the statements made
at Monday nights meeting Of the coun
ell regarding the contemplated pur-
chase by the city OF the county's
Fischer typewriter. The Astorian cor
rectly reported the matter yesterday.
although II neglected to say that the
statements OF Auditor Anderson and
Councilman Nordstrom created much
merriment. The proposal to purchase
the typewriter came from the city OFF,
cials and not from the county. and
Clerk Clinton stated yesterday that
the county had no idea OF getting rid
Of the machine. which has recently
been rebuilt and In in good condition.

abroad that the county was trying TO
dispose OF rubish 10 the city is source
Of some dissatisfaction to the county

been fairly treated. especially In view
Of the fact that the overtures were
not OF their instigation.

The memorial adopted by the city
council asking the oregon delegation
to use lts efforts 70 secure q new post
ONCE building and customs house for
this port was source OF much satis-
faction. Deputy Collector Parker said
yesterday that the matter Of larger
quarters. especially for the post ONCE,
had been considered locally. although
no official action had heretofore been
taken. The post office !s badly pressed
for room. and larger quarters must
be provided, Astoria is the distriut-
Ing point for al the country OF south
western Washington and northwestern
Oregon and the business has largely in
creased. The customs officials also
require more room. The cellar Of the
public building is filled with new and
condemned supplies and Is so crowd
ed that there is no room to store more
material. There ought to be some
place for the storage Of revenue cut
ter supplies and equipment, which
must now be stored away in the cellar.
The Offices on the second floor are
also inadequate to the needs Of the SER
vice. and the Office that should be at
the disposal of the special deputy col
lector is used for a storeroom for old
records. The department Of commerce
and labor expects to have a man sta
toned here and he will need Offices.

present building can be enlarged sufii-
cIently. and It is probable that the i'm
provement win be made in this man
ner. The structure was erected in
1878 and cost $4,000. 1t is well built,
but altogether too smal for the busi-
ness transacted here.

without comment, Mayor Suprenant
said yesterday that the law ought to
be enforced, but he expressed the opin-
ion the club should have communica-
ton with the police commissioners. "The
mayor has only advisory control over

executive of the city. "The clubs
work Is commendable, but 1t should

CHICAGO is DECEIVlNG
So Say National Comrnitteemen-Con
vention May Go Elsewhere.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March o.
Unless Chicago citizens toe the mark
financially to the satisfaction Of the
republican national committee within
a very short time, the republican ma
tiOnal convention will not go TO Chica-
go. Four or five of the leadicg MEM
bers of the national committee are al
ready in favor Of taking the conven-
tiOn away from Chicago. A. meeting
Of the committee will probably be ar
part of the guaranteed finances are
put up by Chicago
An authority stated today that
the committee meant business. Mem
bers of the committee here say that
repeated demands made upon the
sGarantors of the fund pledged by
Chicago to secure the convention have
resulted in an absolute refusal on the
part Of some subscribers to make
good
The national committee refuses to-
go further until the subscribers come
to the front and back up their pledges
by putting up $4,000 or $4,000 for the
use Of the committee at once. This
is an ultimatum that must be met.
Already several cities aspiring for
the honor of obtaining the convention
are becoming active again. Pitts
burg is very favorably considered.
and would probably be the choice of
Senators Scott Penrose and Elkins.
Senator Scott directs the work of
the national committee during the ILL
ness of Postmaster General Payne, the
ehairma n:-
If a meeting is held to change the
place of holding the convention, it
will be at the call of Mr.. Payne.
