Mills and Manufacturing.
Although manufacturing Is as yet in
its infancy in Astoria, more than 4300
persons are employed in the institu-
tions 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

Astoria wants more manufacturing

be found unexcelled sites, with the ad

western properties should look over the
Astoria situation. Sites can be secured

value Of the yearly product exceeds
$500, 900. In all, 4S41 persons are en-
ployed. receiving annual wages that

Salmon Industry.
Astoria owes its existence largely to
the great salmon industry of which 1t
is the center. Year after year the CO.
lumbia river has given UP its wealth
of fish. and in the past 25 years has
yielded s75,OOOOOO, nearly all Of which
has been placed in circulation in this
city. Where other crops have failed,
the salmon supply has maintained its
average of production, and in this re-
speet can be classed as one Of oregon's

greatest resources.
The annual salmon yield Of the CO.
lumbia river is valued at $4,000
The spring fishing season lasts only
about four months-from April Is to
August $3.50 1t means $4,000
monthly to those interested in It and
those who live at and near the seat
|of the industry.
The nairyinc Industry,
Dairying in Clatsop county Is in It's
infancy, and very few dairymen realize
the natural advantages Of this coun-
try. The climate. coupled with the pro-
ductiveness Of the oil. makes 1t an ideal
district for production OF butter ami
cheese; dairymen are taking more in
terest In the breed and care Of stock.
With the genuine butter COW, such
as few here have as yet. much better
results may be obtained. though even
now the luxurient pasturage enables
the cows to furnish an abundance OF
rich milk, with more than an average
OF butter fat. A modern equipped
creamery is in operation in Astoria,
furnishing the farmers a ready sale
for their cream. at an average price for
the year Of 221a cents per pound for
butter fat; and the cows yield, under
good care. about 225 pounds Of butter
fat per year. There is general inter.
est in increasing the dairy business;
many Of the dairymen are preparing to
enlarge their herds, and new daries are
being started. Ever-growing grass
and the best market In the world make
this an inviting field for those who
understand the care Of cows.
All the Oregon coast country. espe-
cially that near the mouth Of the Co.
lumbia river. is very similar to the
great dairying sections Of Europe. such
as Denmark. Holland and the Channel
islands. The winters, however, are
milder and the summers dryer.
The lands best adapted to grass.
growing are the tidelands. which are
river bottoms adjoining the Coium..
bia or It's branches. and overlowed by
the highest tides. These lands may Be
reclaimed by diking. at an expense Of
about so per acre. BY diking large
tracts by machinery-with steam
dredges-the expense may be reduced,
and more substantial dikes erected. One
acre Of tideland has been shown TO be
ample for keeping one COW the entire
year. There are still in Clatsop county
about 10000 acres of tideland to be
diked. much Of 1t being easily cleared
after the diking is done. This is no
Experiment, as many Of the best dairy
farms have been made on dlked tide

Astoria's Water System.
Astoria possesses a 100000 gravity
water system. which is not equalIed
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 toe
city's most valuable asset. The water
Is brought from Bear creek, about 10
miles distant. which has It's 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 al parts Of
the city.
