CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
TOMORROW N NIGHT
LAST SESSION OF YEAR AND MANY THINGS OF IMPORTANCE ARE TO ARISE.
The regular meeting of the Chamber of Commerce at 7:30 o'clock tomorrow night is not only the last session of the year but the last before the annual election of officers which takes place on the next meeting following.
It has been proposed in certain quarters that a board of directors should be appointed or elected for the ensuing year which would necessitate some slight change in the organization. This matter, however, is before the special committee appointed by the president and of which Frank Patton is chairman.
It is proposed at tomorrow night's session to pay considerable attention to plans and suggestions for the ensuing year. Any one who desires to make a suggestion concerning the work for the coming year would especially be welcome at the meeting. If it is impossible for him to attend the suggestion may be sent in to the secretary in writing. It would seem that the plan for bringing up a bill before the State Legislature providing for advertising funds would meet with special approval according to the letters which have been received from the members of the legislature. However, that may be if the matter is brought before the legislature it is time to make definite plans now, as the session of the state law makers will convene before the first meeting in January.
The Chamber of Commerce has had a personal inquiry concerning a very large tract of logged-off land which a company desires to clear and promote for fruit and walnut growing purposes. It is said that the money is ready to take hold of this proposition and the land has already been secured in one solid tract and it may be that this will be the starting point of actual demonstration work in the logged-off land area upon a large and practical scale.
Some day it will be seen that anything that will grow in the northwest will grow on these logged-off lands. As a matter of fact they are a much better soil than the logged-off lands that are selling near Seattle for $1000 an acre and more. A unity and thought of purpose among the business men of Astoria for a year might accomplish wonders.
