Elimination OF Fish Oil.
We have received a letter from an
Ohio man which may be OF interest
to some Of the fishing interests. This
man says that he Is now in posses
sion Of new process OF his own for
extracting oil from fish material at d
minimum OF cost. He would be glad
to correspond with any one interest
ed.
To Remove Stumps.
We have a letter from Georgia
man who informs US that he has a
new method OF riddiDg land of
stumps 1t appears that he has a
chemical process and by applying the
chemical the stumps within a few
years disappear. Anyone interested
in the matter can sec the letter in this
Office.
Portland Rose Fiesta.
Manager Geo. L. Hutchin, Of the
Portland Rose Show, with whom
conferred while in Portland, stated
that during the Rose Carnival in June
arrangements will be made to have
an excursion out OF Portland and all
Of the surrounding towns Of the State
as well as into Portland from all oil
these towns. 1t was his belief that such
an arrangement would be OF an adj
vantage to surrounding towns such
that they would be glad to have a
float in the parade. The Carnival
Assn. now has an expert float build
cr from St. Louis and should Astoria
desire to have a float in this parade
as soon as the idea for same is per.
fected, this expert will be able to give
the approximate cost.

sation with Mr.. w. II. Garland, who

Advertising Mems Convention.
There were l6l delegates presen
at the Pacific Coast Advertising
Mems Convention held in Oakland
Gala, January 20 and 2l, which
attended. / can say that our adver
tising method, since first it was pre-
sented before the Portland division o
this advertising association last sum
mer, has almost been UNIVERSAL
adopted wherever any change in id
vertising systems has been made. |
has been held by some of our mem
bers that we should not have mad
our system, which seems to be tn
best, public property. but / am ssi
of the opinion that this course was
wise one, inasmuch as any part of rh
Northwest which is built up directl
or indirectly, will benefit the large
| cities including Astoria.
I took with me an album of orig

by members. Besides keeping thi
