other. The greatest amount OF money
IL dropped in a community not when
goods break hulk. but when they also
change owners. From only one direc-
don. the lower Willamette valley,
would buyers have 10 pass through
Portland. Il Astoria offers large stocks
and varieties Of goods. The money
must be put up for carrying these large
and varied stocks. and for extending
large credits. II Astoria Is expecting
that the granting OF common point
rates will by itsclf suddenly bring all
manner OF prosperity and demand for
read estate. there is a bad disappoint-
ment In store for its citizens. Energetic
work in securing railway radiais and
river transportation and in developing
wholesale stocks. is still required be-
fore Astoria will move ahead.

ka, and taking advantage OF a slight
lull In business that occurs at that
city during December. he Is having a
short vacation. He speaks very high
~ OF the country In the far north and
is very c0nhiclt of It's bright future.
The firm did an excellent business the
past season and are making prepara-
tlons for even more for the coming
one. Skagway. he says. is beginning
10 take on the aspect Of city. the
people are beginning TO build their
houses in n more permanent and sub
stantial manner and have arrived at
the conclusion that the city as well as
the business OF that section Is now of
a permanent nature. The railroad from
Skagway TO White Horse win be oper-
ated during the winter and stage
route with horses will be run from
there to Dawson. The railroad has two

10 keep the 10 miles OF track clear OF

airy when the travel across the ice Will
