"The development Of the European

what remote, the larger states south
Of US and Canada, If she becomes entire.

kind Of an American concert TO promote

ceiyable that Mexico, Brazil, the Argen.
tine Republic and Chila might reach a
development that would make this pos.
sible.
who can say that in similar man

Eastern Asiatic concert which will work
out policies mutually beneficial 10 their
common interests and also useful TO
mankindi
Il know that we are told that there is
no longer any danger OF an attempt
by European states TO come up and
again take possession Of American ter
.ritory. How one sees what has been
just going on in China can hold such
view II Is difficult to understand. Not
in the colonization frenzy of the six
teenth century was there more vor.
acious greed for the acquisition Of for
eign territory for the purpose of de-
veloping and controlling trade.
What ground is there TO believe that

not see similar scramble for all the

Grande to Cape Horn, and how easily
would excuse be found for concert in
such controversies as has already aris-

milder and the summers dryer.
The lands best adapted to grass.
growing are the tidehnds, which are
river bottoms adjoining the Colum,
bia or its branches, and overfiowed by
the highest tides. These lands may be
reclaimed by diking. at an expense Of
about $40 per acre. BY diking large
tracts by machlnsry-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 it being easily cleared
after the diking is done. Tnis is no
experiment. as many of the best dairy
farms have been made on diked tide
land.

Astoria wants more people. Its ma
turai resources will easily support
from 25o.oo0 to 100000 population. yet
there are only $4,000 people here to
reap the benefits that nature has so
generously placed at their disposal.
The homeseeker will find no better
place to locate. and few equal places.
Labor is always In demand. at the
highest wages. and there Is much en-
Encouragement for the man who wishes
10 engage In business. Strangers often
remark the uniform courtesy Of the
people and the general effort on the
part OF Astorians to make matters
pleasant for visitors. The home-seek-
er or investor who fails to visit Astoria
will make a great mistake. for no other
community in the Pacific northwest
offers such opportunities as the lower
