Mills and Manufacturing.
Although manufacturing is as yet in
its infancy in Astoria, more than 1900
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 period Of only
about six months, and at other times

Astoria wants more manufacturing

be found unexcelled sites, with the ad.

tions, and the intending investor iu
western properties should look over the
Astoria situation, Sites can be secured
at very low prices.

Salmon Industry.
Astoria owes its existence largely to
the great salmon industry Of which 1t
is the center. Year after year the CO.

of fish. and in the past 25 years has
yielded s75,OOO,OOO. nearly all of which
has been placed in circulation in this

MAY ESCAPE

II Osuna of Esmeralda county. who

charge of rape preferred by his
step-daughter, Harriet Averill. has
carried the case to the Supreme Court
on habeas corpus proceedings. The
matter was laid before the court
Thursday and the writ was made re-
turnable on December 9TH. The last
legislature made rape punishable by
death, when the act is accompanied by
acts OF extreme violence of great
bodily injury. In such cases the jury
can affix the death penalty in its
verdict if it is convinced that the
crime demands such punishment
Otherwise the defendant, if convicted
cannot receive less that twenty-five
year sentence, unless it be shown that
the crime was not attended by acts of
extreme violence, when the punish
ment cannot be less than five years

defendant can be imprisoned for life,
