The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1908-07-28


This report was drawn up wish
with technical skill and covered many
points that are only limited at here. al
the full report would fill severaa
columns Of newspaper.
A lively tilt arose between Mr..
Wingate and Judge Taylor as whzt
disposition should be made Of this
report. Mr. Wingate wanted Il
adoted, but Judge Taylor, who was
also member OF the COMMITTEES.
complained that he and other mem
bers ha dino opportunity to look into
the matter. In turn Mr.. Wingate re-
torted by saying that for two months
he had been trying to get Judge
Taylor and other members OF the
committee to meet together, but
never had been able to do 50. The
meeting finally voted to return the
entire matter to the special commit
tee again for consideration and to
report at the next session. It IS prob
able that there will be some dissen~
sions within the committee over the
roposed amendments.

Trip To Japan.
Mr.. Whyte explained that as far a.
he understood the trip to Japan
y
would cost nothing but the fare be-
tween here and San Francisco. IiE
report read:
Members OF the commercial or
gaizations Of the Northwest have
been invited to take trip to Japaa
leaving San Francisco on a Japanese
steamer September 18th. We thought
that it might be possible some Of
our local people desire TO make this
trip and if such is the case we would
be glad to have their names in the
Office and in the meantime we viii
find out what will be the exact ex-
penses. The party according to the
proposed itinerary will sail from
Japan November 4th Those who
would make the trip would have to
leave Astoria about the 10th of Sep
tember and expect to be gone unth
about the first of December"
Spokane Excursion.
Mr.. Finlayson made a suggestion
which seemed to meet with instant
favor He thought that the plan Of
making an excursion to Spokane
should be revived; trip by rail all
the way for now that the last bridge
is up and in working order, il Is
readily possible for the trip, Astoria
to Spokane, by direct rail route" II
was moved that the secretary be in
structed to at once write for rates
etc, .,
Dairy Proposition. -
The long cherished dairy PROPOSE
ton seems now to be in a fair way Of
realization. Mr.. and Mrs. H. Wiese
arrived in Astoria yesterday, but in
asmuch as Mr.. Wiese was very tired
last night he did not attend the meet
ing of the Chamber of Commerce.
1t is proposed to start milk con
densory here. 1t has already been
Ieared that enough milk can be secur-
ID to furnish an ample supply for the
condensory Mr.. Wiese is said to be
highly skilled in all such matters. 1t
S thought that there will be little or
10 trouble to finance this matter.
