MOVEMENT TO SECURE
MORE SOLDIERS
ONLY TWO COMPANIES AT FIT
STEVENS WHILE THERE
SHOULD BE FIVE
COMPANIES.

A matter Of Importance that will
come before the Chamber Of Com
mcrce at IT'S meeting tomorrow night
| Ia the movement to secure full com
Iplcment Of men for Fort Stevens AT
the present time there are only two
companies Of men at Fort Stevens
while there should be five companies.
la the two companies already located
at Fort Stevens there are respectively
rs and 30 men. II the entire number
Of men that the fort would accommo-
dat were stationed there Fort Stevens
should spend $4,000 slore in Astoria
than is now expended.
Captain Lamoreaux has been in
formed that an extra company Of
men may be expected at Fort Stew
ems from San Francisco within very
short time but there will still be an
opportunity for two additional COM
panies. And these perhaps might be
had by calling the attention OF the
War Department in Washington to
the fact that Fort Stevens does not
have as many men as the quarters
will accommodate.
|. II is Of interest to know that Cap
tain Lamoreaux has been successful
in securing gymnasium appropria-
ton and that a modernly equipped
gymnasium will be provided at Fort
Stevens. He has not yet been given
the authority to construct the gymna-
stun building but this may be expect
ed within reasonable time.
Another thing that the Chamber
OF Commerce might take an interest
in is Fort Candy, on the other side OF
the river from Fort Stevens. As
matter Of fact much has been done in
the way of improving Fort Candy and
some modern guns have been mount
ed there, but these are not provided
with electric power plant and until
such plant has been put in place Fort
Candy is as useless with the guns as
il was without them.
The Chamber, of Commerce will
hold its regular meeting at s o'clock
tomorrow evening when the special
order Of business will be the consid-
Grafton OF the Port of Astoria bill.
The following letter was sent out
yesterday to the members of the
Chamber calling their attention to
this special order of business and also
to the fact that the underwater for
the electric railway proposition will
be in Astoria on the 18th and suggest
ing that something in the way of a
smoker be provided for his entertain
ment TO give an opportunity for
some Of the prominent citizens to set
forth facts and figures with regard to
the resources of Astoria and Clatsop
county.
We wish to call your attention TO
the fact that the Port of Astoria bill
has been made special order Of busi-
ness for next Monday night, Septem-

probably especially interested
Another important feature to-
