Clatsops turn has come.
The county at the mouth OF the mighty
Columbia will socn take her place In the
front ranks OF the progressive element OF
the state.
Events are rapidly transpiring which
will eliminate soon in the establishment
at Astoria Of business in various lines OF
ma snufacture and shipping which will be
second to none In Oregon and will In
short time place this port In the lead o.
all the harbors north Of San Francisco
Comparatively speaking, in a few short
hours. citizens here will be enabled to
greet the first through train from Port
land. Every child in the community
knows what this means. 1t win open TO
this port the opportunity 10 develop its
lumber and coal resources. ship the prod

western states; will bring capital here
that will enable the manufacturers or
lumber. fiour fax, and other commodi-
ties to reach the markets OF the world:
and above all the prime industry Of tha
Columbia-the fishing trade-will be so
fostered that the fresh and cured article

Now, in addition to all this. comes for
ward the o. R. & n. Company. through
its Industrial agent, Mr.. Judson. and Of
fers to aid. as it has done in a number or
Instances within the past few weeks In
eastern oregon, the development OF Clat--
sop's natural resources and the increasing
OF the population OF the county By inter-
esting in It live people from localities in
the eastern and middle states where the
farmer. merchant. miner and mechanic
have not the advantages Of climate, loca-
ton and shipping facilities that are to be-
enjoyed in oregon. The Chamber Of COM
merce and the Progressive Association
have committees in the field making pre-
parations to meet Mr.. Judson and prop
erly entertain him on his initial visit.
1t is believed by the enthusiasts who want
to see here live city and wideawake
community that these committees will
map out intelligent programs in advance
and be prepared without loss Of time to
take advantage Of the influence OF this
powerful company which is an Oregon
corporation and working for Oregon's in
terest. Among the first matters claiming
attention are the questions OF deep-sea
fishing, the '9S regatta, and flax growing
and manufacture. Pursuing the same
methods so successful in eastern Oregon,
there can be no doubt whatever that Mr..
Judson. with the hearty cooperation OF
the business men of Astoria will be able
TO bring about as satisfactory arrange-
ments as have within the past few days
enlivened the entire eastern portion Of the
state.
After the railroad jollihcation and po-
litical conventions are over, about the
middle of this month, Mr. Judson will be
here for business, With two railroads at
its back and with lines of steamers to ana
from the orient, Alaska and California.

cannot blame John Jacob Astor. who first
saw the possibilities of commerce at the
mouth of the mighty river in oregon.
