The prediction of shrewd old John
Jacob Astor is about to be fulfilled. The
city of Astoria, oregon, is about to
become the greatest seaport and me-
tropolis of Northwestern America.
Its location and resources have at.
tracted the attention of capital, and it
is today the best field for the invest.
ment Of money, brains and muscle on
the American continent.
This Largest civilized city in the
world without railroad" is to exper-
ience the impetus Of connection in
different directions with two of the
greatest continental railway systems
Astoria's harbor advantages (the
best on the whole Pacific COAST are
now understood and appreciated; It's
fishing interests (already paying to the
hands employed in the salmon canneries
alone over $25OOOO of wages each
month"; are to be augmented by the
investment of outside capital and the
erection of large and latest improved
plants. The immense forests Of Ore
gon pine surrounding the city are to
be converted into lumber for the Aus
tralian, Chinese, japanese, and South
American markets.
The great coal fields within few
miles Of the city are to be Immediately
opened, and the product thereof shipp-
ed in every direction.
A dairying region unsurpassed in the
whole world is to be opened up and
afforded an outlet to market.
A harbor, better than that of San
Francisco, and the only one with this
exception on the more than two thous-
and miles of Pacific coast, is to be
supplied with increased dockage and
coaling facilities, and immense grain
elevators will be built to store and load
the wheat of the Columbia basin direct
ly on the merchant fleets Of the world
Astoria offers openings for many new
industries, namely, grist mills, saw
mills. paper mills. stave, box. barrel
and tub factories. show case works,
sash and door factories.
There will be room for many live.
energetic and wide-awake men and
women with or without money. All
inquiries promptly answered. Papers
