There was an alleged strike at the Man

before have we seen so sustained pictorial
satire OF the story of Noah. There are
wenty-siX colo red plates, and they are all
admirable from the artistic and humorous
point of view. In one of them. where the
elephants and tigers are seasick in the ark
the realistic effect is overwhelming. In the
German there is an immortal song about
Noah in his association with the beginning
of wine. These pictures of experiences in
the ark are fitted to go along.

soxE GOOD SUGGESTIONS
Inducements and Advantages Of Clat.
SOP County Should Be Published
to the World and Efforts Made
to Secure immigration.

Now that the political sQuabble over
the Tuttle charter bin has become a
matter of history, it is good time
for the people OF Astoria and Clstsop
county to make some effort to adver-
tise the resources and grand pcssi-
bilities of the city and county, to the
end that eastern people may be at.
tracted here and win locate in indus.
trial pursuits or develop our resources
in agriculture and dairying.
Herman Wise has made good sug-
gestion. which in substance is that If
the people Of Astoria took as much
interest In building up the resources
Of Clatsop county as they did in the
Tutle charter bill. the result would be
more beneficial to the city and county.
II the same energy were spent in In
ducing eastern people to come here
and locate, build up our natural re-
sources. inaugurate new enterprises
cultivate our lands, which are the
most productive of any county in the
state, encourage people to come here
and develop the dairying interests
which can be made wealth producers
as was used to secure the passage or
the defeat Of the Tuttle charter bill.
there would be less friction. not 80
much personal antagonism and a bet
ter feeling would exist throughout the
city and county.
There is no county in the state where
darying can be carried on so success
fully and so profitably as in Clatsop
county. There is no other section of
the state where the finest dairying
lands can be bought as cheaply as In
this county. There is no other loca-
ton where the products bring as high
a price. are as accessible to the mar
kets of the world and where every
thing produced commands as ready a
sale as in Clatsop county. The trouble
is these facts are not known outside
of a limited number. Even a large
majority of our own business people
do not realize the grand possibilities
in store for the city and county If they
were only developed.
There is not sufficient population in
Clatsop county to develop these re-
sources. A large number of the popu-
Iation are engaged in the fishing in
dustry and have no knowledge OF
farming or dairying. A large number
are engaged in the logging and mill
business, and the result is, there are
not requisite number of farmers to
produce sufficient products for home
consumption. 1t is no credit to the
county or the enterprise of the people
that a very large amount Of all the
butter, eggs, farm produce and other
necessaries of life have to be import
ed from more enterprising communi,
ties. 1t shows an Indifference that
has been Characteristic of many of the
people of Astoria. 1t retards the
growth of the city and county and con-
fines the business prosperity OF the
city to the few months of the fishing
season. There is no reason why there
should not be as large revenues de-
rived from dairying and farming as
from the fishing industry and there
could be if the people would take
more interest in these matters and
devote less time to politics.
