The Chamber of Commerce last night
devoted much of its time to considera-
ton of the matter OF marking the his
toric spots OF Clatsop county, and con-
cluded by instructing B. Van Dusen,
this county's representative on the
Lewis and Clark fair board. to ask an
appropriation or $4,000 or such other
amount as may be necessary to fitting
| ly designate the spot on which Lewis
and Clark erected their winter quar-
ters about 100 years ago. Members Of
the chamber agreed that every effort
should be Immediately made to secure
the proper marking of historic spots.
1t was pointed out that there would
be great future interest in these mem
orable places and that, as 1t was even
now extremely difficult to definitely To-
cate all of the places, much greater
difficulty would be experienced in after
years. The discussion took very wide
range and members even got into con-
troversies as to the exact location of
certain places of great historic interest,
The grave of McTavisn, one of the Fort
Astoria celebrities, for instance, led to
prolonged discussion, and there was a
lively difference of opinion as to where
the remains Of this historical character
rested, The discussion brought out the
interesting fact that the Portland vul-
lures had swooped down upon the
peaceable City by the Sea and made Off
with the monument which marked Nc
Tavish's grave In Hillside cemetery,
and the opinion was expressed steps
should be taken to recover this monu-
ment. Judge Bowlby, who is devotlng
much attention to the location OF Fort
Astoria, believed the site of the fort
should now be definitely located and a
proper monument erected, He was like
wise anxious to have all historic spots
marked. and believed such marking
would add materially to the tourist
travel Of the city. Mr.. Van Dusen viii
ask the Lewis and Clark fair board for
the sum named BY the chamber, and,
as slatsops share Of the fair appro-
priation was $4,000. it is anticipated
there viii be no difficulty. In getting It.

Some time ago the fisheries commit
tee OF the Chamber OF Commerce re-
quested Senator Fulton to try and have
salmon hatchery located on the
Warm Springs Indian reservation. Sen
ator Fulton has replied. inclosing let
ter received by him from the chief OF
the fisheries department OF the govern
ment The chief seems to think a
hatchery at the location named would
not prove very successful. but admits
that II is worth the trial. He says he
would be glad to experiment and asks
whether or not II is desired some CHI
nook salmon fry be planted there. The
letter has been referred to the fish
cries committee OF the chamber and
that body will probably request that
the location be tried out. There is
some sentiment In favor Of the location
OF hatcherIes near Astoria, and the
committee Is to make investigation for
report along this line.

r. b. Dyer is in receipt Of an in
teresting letter from George d. Gray
president OF the Gray Steamship Com
pany, with reference 70 the betterment
OF the service between this city and
San Francisco. Locally complaint had
been made that Astoria was not be-
ing treated fairly by the company. Mr.
Gray replies at length, setting forth
that there is not now enough business
to justify the operation Of another yes-
sci to Astoria and Portland He be-
lieves an additional vessel at this time
would cost his company $4,000 monthly.
However, he hopes business win in
crease to an extent that win justify
the company in putting on larger
passenger steamer. He states further
that he is anxious that Astoria shah
have equally as good service over his
line as Portland enjoys and win take
steps to see that such service is rem
dered. The Alliance is one Of the
Gray line steamers.

There are pongees in every degree Of

so coarse that at first glance IT looks

dyed pongees IN every conceivable pale
color and in dull blues and browns
