and he believes it is due, in meas
ure to obstructive FISH devices, wheels,
traps, etc, that gill-netting is the
only safe and open course to pur-
sue in the fisheries and that unless the
harmful, disturbing systems are ut
terly banished from the river the sal
mon industry must die quick and

with all her neighboring towns, go
after complete system of dredging
and never let up until it is in full
blast, and then see to it, that it
never fails of operation.

VIEWED THE RICH
DAIRY LANDS
SEVERAL LOCAL GENTLEMEN
ACCOMPANY VISITING GER
MAN AGRIcULTURIsT UPON
A TOUR OF INSPECTION.

II. y. Van Duscn, a. Schcrneckau
and J. II. Whytc, accompanied Mr..
Wicsc, who Is in Astoria looking into
the matter Of establishing d dairy or
condensory business here, out on a
tour Of inspection OF the dairy lands
south Of the city yesterday. The party
left in the morning and did not re-
Fturn until last evening. The trip was
an interesting one, and il enabled Mr..
Wiese TO see in fairly comprchen-
sive way just what lands are avail
able for the purposes under consid-
Grafton and also their rich and prolific
character.
First going along the south side of
the Lewis and Clark the party viewed
the fine dairy farms Of that regino and
then using the cutoff road, they
drove over to the Young's River
country, reaching there at the base
Of the falls. There the farms were
also looked over. At Olney the
party took luncheon and then drove
along the south side of the river down
to the Wallusk region. They stopped
at several Of the farms, and among
others Mrs. Grants fine country
place. The local members OF the
party were highly pleased with all
they saw, though the scenes are not
unfamiliar to them, and evidently Mr..
Wiese was also well pleased with his
observations.
For a week or more past Mr..
Whyte has been engaged in ascertain
ing the amount OF milk that may
daily be procured from the farms in
the dairy regions contiguous to these
rivers, and he now has the matter
pretty we'll tabulated Investigation
show that il will be comparatively
easy task to secure enough milk to
prohtably run condensory here.
The farmers seem to be satisfied with
the plan, too, and some of them are
entering in upon it in an enthusiast
tic manner
The project Of establishing a con-
densory seems to be taking shape in
a fairly satisfactory manner. Mr..
Wiese, who, as has been told before,
Is German; and ii is understood that
he is thoroughly versed in all matters
pertaining to the production and
of milk. The plan is to cap
talize the project, securing mostly
local capital, and to have Mr.. Wiese
at the head Of the concern. 1t has
been suggested, also, that he may en-
ieavor to establish school, or some
sort of classes, for the study Of agri-I
cultural and dairy matters. The Ore
yon Agricultural College at Corvallis
S now magni6cently fitted out for in
in such studies, but it is
that Mr.. Wiese might find
,ome field for such work here.
In the Willamette valley the exper-
ence with condensories has proven
highly satisfactory This city is
ooked upon as being an ideal loca-
ion for one.
Mr., Wiese also talks of endeavor-
ng to colonize some of the lands in
Slatsop county. He says he might
'e able to interest quite number of
nen from his own home region.
lands here may be secured at almost
ny price, from $l00 an acre down to
few dollars per acre, and with the
light kind of men going in on these
ands there is no doubt that much
ould be accomplished. If some of
he Germans wish to come here every
Encouragement will be offered them.
