Of the industry.
The oairyins Industry.
Dairying in Clatsop county Is in it's
infancy, and very few dairyrnen realize
the natural advantages of this coun-
try The climate, coupled with the pro-
ductiveness Of the OIL makes it an ideal
district for production OF butter AMI
cheese: dairymen are taking more in
lterest 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 ready sale
for their cream, at an average price for
the year of 22h 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
llumbia 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 Colum'
bla or its branches, and overflowed by
the highest tides. These lands may be
reclaimed by diking, at an expense Of
about $40 per acre. By diking large
tracts by machinery-with steam
} Idredges-the expense may be reduced,
and more substantial dlkes 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
J diked, much of It being easily cleared
after the dilxIng is done. This is no
! experiment, as many Of the best dairy
farms have. been made on diked tide
} land.

western properties should look over the

Astoria's Water System.
Astoria possesses a 100000 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 IL
miles distant. which has Its source In
the mountains.
The reservoir Is situated on the pla'
te6a 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 o.
