CATTLE AND CRANBERRIEs.
Both Can Be Probably Raised Near
Astoria.

Astoria, January 19-(To the Editor
There is much being said and writ
ten, about the development Of this low.
er river country, and the building up
Of Astoria. Astoria cannot be greatly
extended unless the country as a whole
Is developed, followed by an increase
Of population.
Those now engaged in debating and
canvassing this proposition should not
confine themselves to this year. or to
limited series OF years, but bear in
mind that the building Of the railroad.
or more properly speaking, the extern
sion Of great transcondnental sys-
TEN to the mouth Of the Columbia,
marks an era and truly an epoch in
the life and development Of this lower
country, and the Columbia and Snake
river valleys.
AS We have reached a point from
which we are to take new departure,
let us rouse ourselves from our leth-
argy and prepare to take a hand in
the new activities that will soon be in
augurated.
The year 1897 will see the last Of the
sailing ships ascending the river for
grain cargoes. With the completion Of
the railroad, certain improvements
must necessarily be made - wfarves,
kV1fTI s.fn ha
loading Of grain ships. The great bulk
Of the wheat Of the Inland Empire,
including Washington. Oregon and
Idaho, will be brought here for ship
ment And when cars can be loaded
at interior points and brought here
without rehandling loads, Touring mills
necessarily follows. Saw mills for the
manufacture Of lumber for eastern
markets, terminal facilities for the
road
This short list completes the cata-
logue Of things that necessarily follow
the road.
We have been sitting around the real
estate offices, hotels, stores, saloons and
other public places, talking about the
great things to come long enough.
This useless talking and lnaction must
come to close, or else we must take
our place among the old burgers Of
New Amsterdam. Washington Irving,
in his history Of New York. reports
that the first settlers Of New Amster-
dam, after they had made a lodgment
on Manhatten Island and had taken a
look at the goOdly prospect, decided to
build great city Their debates over
this cfty-building were intermlnable.
In the long summer evenings they
gath cred under the shade Of the great
trees, and smoked and talked, and
talked and smoked, and in the clouds
Of smoke rolling heayenward they saw
the great city. In the meantime set
tiers were arriving from Old Amster-
dam, houses must be built; there being
no streets, they built along the cattle
patls-hence the croOkedness Of the
streets Of early New York
