Importance. and the attention Of CAPT

Astoria's Water System.
Astoria possesses S3o0.O0e gravity
water system. which is not eQualled
In equipment by any other system In
the Pacific northwest. The water
works are operated by the municipal
government as represented by the
water commission, and constitute the
city's most valuable asset. The water
Is brought from Bear creek, about 10
miles distant, which has Its source in
the mountains.
The reservoir Is situated on the pla-
teau back OF the city, where the sup
ply Is regulated The water system Of
Astoria is extensive enough to supply
the needs of 100000 people. besides af-
fording fire protection to all parts Of
the city.
The LAUNDERING Industry.
The mouth of the Columbia river
has the greatest body OF timber tribu'
tary and available OF any point in the
world.
The numbering business Is the larg-
est in the Pacific northwest; It out
ranks In value OF product any other
line. Production OF wheat is a close
second, being worth sl7,oOO,OOO year,
while the value OF the lumber output
is ;ls,OOO.OOO. Coal. gold and silver,
fruit, cattle and sheep. wool and fish,
all Of which are produced In great
abundance, fall far below, nor hardly

The timber trees of the forests tribu'

as Oregon pine; hemlock. spruce and
cedar. There are also soft, or birds

been known to produce ten times this
amount. Quarter sections OF timber
land on the market are usually esti-
mated at 5000, 900 to 100000 feet each,

Mills and Manufacturing.
Although manufacturing Is as yet in
It's infancy in Astoria, more than 4soO
lpersons are employed in the institu-
Itions now doing business here. The
salmon industry employs by far the
greatest number of persons. but the
seasons extend over a period OF only
about six months. and at other times
those engaging in 1t follow other lines
OF pursuit. The numbering industry
Including box factories, barrel factor
les, etc. is rapidly assuming proper,
tions, and will, within few years, out
rank the fishing interests.
Astoria wants more manufacturing
concerns, and offers the very best In
ducements to capitalists. Here are to
be found unexcelled sites, with the ad'
vantage Of both rail and water connec.
tions, and the intending investor in
western properties should look over the
Astoria situation. Sites can be secured
at very low prices.
More than sS.OOO,OoO Is invested in
manufacturing plants here, while the
value Of the yearly product exceeds

Salmon Industry.
Astoria owes its existence largely tC
