TRIP TO THE
OCEAN BEACH.
And a Visit to the Larges st
Salmon Factory in the
World.
PoRTLAND, OREGON,
July Sth, 1899.


A long train of IL Pullman
cars pulled by two of the larg.
est and fastest passenger engines
are placed at our disposal for q
tour of the state and a trip to
Seattle, and at Z O'Clock this
morning our entire association,
and the Oregon press association,
making about $50 persons, as
sembled and were assigned seats
for a trip to Astoria, the most
famous salmon canning center
in the world.
Astoria is city of about 10, 900
inhabitants situated on Astoria
Bay. natural harbor about s by
10 miles and is distant from Port
land 100 miles in Northwest
course. We arrived at Astoria
about 11:3O and were escorted
to a large warehouse near the
depot where tables were spread
for 1000 persons and were given
what the hospitable people termed
a clam bake. We really had a
very good dinner. Fish Of various
kinds and other eatables were
served in great abundance. l ate
one clam steaming hot, breaking
open the she'll which was nearly
as large of my two hands, seasoned
the animal with butter, salt and
pepper and in Il few bites managed
to down it. 1t was very nice, COR
everybody around me said they
were, but l am not stuck on
clans.
We all took a walk through the
town to one of the largest salmon
factories. The building was one
story high and covered about ten
or twelve times as much space as
the store of the Russell Gates
Merchantile Co. at Eastonville.
Little fish boats were in like
wagons at the cheese factory un-
loading tons upon tons of salmon.
They are weighed and payed for
at about 5 cents per pound gross.
| saw the process from first to last
of cleaning and canning, and must
say it is very interesting. China
men do all the work and are clean
and dextrous about il. We were
taken 10 miles to the ocean beach
where we spent two hours very
pleasantly watching the breakers
and listening to the roar of the
water. Some of the more venture
some put on bathing suits and
waded out in the surf about knee
deep and lay down, letting the
waves break over them, but as the
tide was going out and the under
toe strong it was dangerous TO 60
in deeper, and they were warned
by our reception committee. Sew
eral parties have been swept out
to sea on this beach and lost. 1
tasted the water. 1t is slightly
salty and brackish. / also saved
little bottle of water and one
of the fine dry sand on the beach
which l mean to keep as a memen-
to of my trip to the Pacific ocean.
On our return we were shown
a very fine seaside hotel, and after
ward given ride on the bay for
a couple of hours in a very fine
steamboat. This boat tock us by
the ietties built by Uncle Sam and
also near the government life saw
ing station where an interesting
exhibition was given. A life boat
containing seven experienced sail
ors gave an illustration of theiI
skill. They came out near the
steamer and turned their boat
over and over a number of times
an6' clambered quickly in each time
The boat would not sink and the
men were very expert.
We returned TO Portland al
1870 and remained in the sleeper'
for the night.
