Cornelius, the assessor, Is the third and

tidently expected to make an announce

Astoria Is now being brought into It's
own because OF what nature has done
for this site.
Hon. Thomas II. Benton said in Con-
gress as far back as 1850; "The Colum-
bia River win one day provide the great
outlet to the Pacific Ocean for the entire
western half Of the United States"
s. II. H. Clark, the father Of American
railroads, has said: Here (Astoria) will
be built the greatest maritime city on
the Pacific Coast"
The late Coils p. Huntington, presi-
dent OF the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company, said: "The mouth Of the
Columbia River Is the only natural out.

Mr.. Archibald A. Schenk, engineer of
the New York Central Railroad Com
pany, said: whoever controls the line
OF railroad to the mouth Of the Columbia
River will for oil time control the trans
portation problem of the Pacific North
west
Louis w. Hill. president Of the Great
Northern Railroad Company while here
in Astoria last July said; "This is un.
doubtedly the place from which the grain
shipments Of the great Columbia River
Valley will be made. Yours is unques.
tionably the situation for that purpose"
And now after all OF these seers of
the great salient facts in financial his
tory, comes the realization Of these
dreams through the two leading railroad
interests of the modern railroads and
financial world.
1t would seem now that the real es-
tate men of Astoria should choose this
as the ju)dicious moment to get busy.
They can best get busy by advertising
and they will not have to begin their
advertising campaign far from home.
The people Of the Columbia Valley know
most about the possibilities Of this val
ley and with proper representations
made to them, through illustrated and
printed literature it would probably be
easier to attract capital and people here
now than it has been at any other time
within the almost one hundred years
since Astoria was founded as a trading
port. The people who know the most
Of the local situation now have the most
confidence, They know that the Astors,
Goulds, vanderbilts. and other multi
millionaires made their vast fortunes by
early buying New York property, and
with this tip In advance they can lay
the foundation now by purchasing land
hereabouts, in small or large quantities.

"Watch Astoria soar"
" The price paid by the Hills for their
terminal ground was in round figures
$40O an acre, although they bought a
very large quantity Of land at one time.
This price viii probably look cheap six
months from now. All someone appar-

Good Words For Colorado.

One of the most interesting facts
brought out by w. +. Skinner,
former manager of the National
Live Stock exposition at Chicago,
in his speech before the members
of the chamber of commerce at
their dinner last night, was that
Colorado is annually paying toll to
the east to the extent of about
S12,0OO,0OO on hog products which
might just as well be produced
here. He stated that the hog in
dustry in Colorado is destined to
become one of the greatest factors
in building up ehe state and re-
peated the statements he made on
former occasions that the Colorado
pea-fed hog is the finest in the
world.
Dean w. l.. Carlyle, of the State
Agricultural college, followed Mr.
Skinner and continued the same
line of argument He dwelt par
ticularly on the horse industry and
stated that Colorado at present
produces rs good carriage horses
as are to be found anywhere.
Though only in its infancy, horse
breeding, according to Dean Car
lyle, will be one of the leading in
dustries of the state before many
years.
State Senator E. NJ. Ammons
talked for fifteen minutes when
the other speakers had finished
and gave a brief sketch of the
cattle business in Colorado from
its inseption years ago up to the
present time. He closed by point
ing out what strong influence
for good of the industry will be
exerted by the western stock show
and appealed to the chamber of
commerce to lend its support to-
ward making the show success.

Dean Tatom Opens Retail Store in

Dean Tatom, proprietor of he
Electric Bakery, has secured the
room on Main street Just vacated by
the Houchin grocery store and is now
fitting the same up for a retail bak-
cry store. The place is to be remod-
eled throughout and fitted up for a
first class retail shop.
At the present time the Electric
bakery maintains no regular retail
shop and It has not since Mr.. Tatom
secured the business some time ago.
Henceforth it will conduct a retail as
well as a wholesale business.
The Electric company now has the
plants of both the old Model bakery
and of the Hohbach bakery. The
Model bakery location, in the Martin
building, is now being used solely
for the manufacture of bread while
the old Hohback plant, which has
been much improved, is used ex-
for the making of pastries.

TO IMPROVE GRAZING LAND.
Government VIII Help to supply
Mnr,n Water In Reserves.

In its investigations for the I'M
proyement of grazing lands within the
national forests carried on during the
past year, the forest service has found
that the ranges on some of the forests
can not be fully utilized by stock be-
cause Of lack of a proper water sup
ply. Plans have been made for bet
tering these conditions as rapidly as
possible.
Work to Improve the water supply
on the national forest ranges will be
started this year on the Leadville Ma
tional forest in Colorado and Tum-
acacori national forest in Arizona, and
before the coming of another grazing
season a number Of ranges will be
improved very materially.
On the Leadyille forest. the forest
officers will clean out and protect
twelve different springs and pipe the
water into troughs. The work on the
Tumacacori forest in Arizona will be
somewhat more extensive, although 1t
will be confined to the improvement
of the supply Of only half as many
springs as on the Colorado forest.
This method Of cleaning out and
protecting springs and other water
ing places will result in much benefit
to stockmen grazing on the strips Of
ranges within the forests. Improve
ment work along the same general
lines also will be begun on other nat
ional forests.
