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 10
miles distant, which has its 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 all parts of
the city.
The LAUNDERING Industry.
The mouth of the Columbia river
has the greatest body OF timber tribu,
tary and available of any point in the
world.
The numbering business is the larg-
est in the Pacific northwest; 1t out.

abundance, fall far below, nor hardly

timber will not decrease, but become

as oregon pine; hemlock, spruce and

The fir Is both red and yellow. It
grows five to IA feet in diameter, and

in the coast mountains. Considerable

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

Astoria wants more manufacturing
concerns, and offers the very best in
ducements to capitalists. Here are to
be found unexcelled sites. with the ad.
vantage of both rail and water connec.
tions, and the intending investor in
western properties should look over the
Astoria situation. Sites can be secured
at very low prices.
More than $3,O0O,OOO is invested in
manufacturing plants here. while the
value of the yearly product exceeds

ployed. receiving annual wages that

Salmon Industry.
Astoria owes its existence largely to
the great salmon industry of which IT
is the center. Year after year the CO.
lumbia river has given up its wealth

yielded s75,OOO,OOO. nearly all of which
has been placed in circulation in this
city. Where other crops have failed,

WINTER EATING RUINS ST0M-
ACHS.
Now is the Time You Need Mic
na,' Says Druggist Gokay.

Think for a moment of the extra
strain you put upon the stomach in
the winter. The pearty food, the late
suppers and the lack Of exercise and
out door life all weaken and strain the
stomach, laying the foundation for
poor health and suffering.
Chronic stomach troubles, nervous
irritabiity and serious bowel and kid
ney diseases have often dated from
week of extra good living" Nearly
every one is bothered with more or less
headaches and backaches, f1rred tom
que, poor appetite, dry, hacking cough
heartburn, spots before the eyes, oiz-
illness or vertigo, sleeplessness, lack
of energy, loss Of flesh or general
weak. tired feeling
Now is the time when Mona is need
ed to repair the ravages and wastes the
hearty eating of winter has caused in
the stomach and digestive system.
This is the only known agent that
strengthens the stomach and digestive
organs so they can and will readily di-
gest whatever food is eaten. A Mona
tablet taken before each meal wi re-.
move all irritation, inflammation and
congestion in the digestive organs, and
so strengthen them that they will ex-
tract from the food all that goes to
make good rich blood, firm muscle and
sound, healthy body.
This remarkable remedy costs but
so cents and il its use does not restore
your full vigor, vitality and health,
Druggist Goksy, one of the best
known druggists in this section, will
refund your money, Unbouuded faith
