There will be seated at the banquet

Although the reception committee has
had standing invitation in the Astor-
ian and in the Budget for some time,
which was cordial invitation to all
Astorians to attend the banquet, yet 1t
was yesterday evening brought to the
attention of the committee that some
good citizens OF Astoria had not yet
ascertained how they were to get an
invitation to attend this important state
function which will scarcely have its
equal again soon in the Northwest. The
again wishes to call the at
Lention to all Astorians that they can
arrange to attend this banquet in the
usual way which has been made and
provided by calling at the Chamber of
Commerce and seeing Manager Whyte.
As there are only 100 seats available,
however, it will either be necessary in a
lay or two to refuse further invitations
10 local citizens or else return checks to
ienders outside of the city, from the
various towns in the Columbia Basin.
The committee desires that every citi-
zen should consider himself notified be-
'ause of the published invitations in the
newspapers.
Other details will be attended to by
hose Of the local citizens who will call
IT the Chamber until such time as it Is
impossible to seat any further numbers. (
