LIVE CITIZENS HAVE
FORMED LARGE POOL
$500, Raised on Warrenton
Peninsula With Which to
Foster Industries

Chas. Dodge. president OF the
Warrenton Townsite Co, returned
Friday from six weeks visit to the
mouth of the Columbia. where he
has been giving a thorough investiga-
ton and study of situations relative
to the future there. Mr.. Dodge has
for several years believed that the
really large city of the Pacific coast
is TO be located at Warrenton and
has backed up his judgment by
heavy investments and a hurry TO
get in on the ground floor" His OBJ
serVations were expressed to a Her.
aid reporter as follows:
"Now that the government has dis
regarded the demand of Portland
that the bar at the mouth of the CO.
lumbia be kept to the same depth of
the channel from Astoria to Port
land, and for the first time within
the three years that a Chinook
dredse" built expressly for use on
the bar. but never until this month
ever put to work thereon, is now at
work deepening the bar to 40 feet
or more, with the completion of the
Panama canal in 1913, shere will be
such an increase in the shipping
from this point that values will rise
hundreds of per cent within the next
five years.
Gust one hundred years ago the
first white settlement of the Pacific
Northwest was made at the mouth
of the Columbia liver through the
enterprise of that intrepid fir trader,
John Jacob Aston. He built a fort
and established a store or trading
post on the present site of Astoria
and thereby saved this great North
west territory as the possession of
the United States and blaZed the
trail for the settlement and develop
ment that we enjoy today. TO COM
memorate this great deed the city of
Astoria and the county of Clatsop are
giving centennial celebration of
national importance, August 10th to
September 9th, with a program OF
naval and military manoeVers, mo-
tor boat races and hydro-plane eX-
hibitions land regatta the like of
which has never been attempted IN
the northwest
"Of course. this is not done alto
gether just to celebrate the found
ing of the Northwest territory-as
great and worthy an event as that
is--but the people of Clatsop county
and of Astoria in particular, realize
that the exceptional resources Nouch-
safed Them by a munilicent Creator
have too long been oy Rocked BY
those At present IN possession. ana
wish TO call the attention OF the
hume-seeRer and city-builder t. these
uudcy eIoped fortunes that they may
become their prosperous and COM
tented uciEhhors and fellow citizens,

Rev. Morton L. Rose, D. D., pastor
of the First Christian church of North
Yakima, has resigned his pastorate.
the resignation to take effect in two
months. His determination in this
respect was announced Sunday morn
ing to his congregation at the begin
mig of the first service of the day.
The official board of the church had
asked him to agree to renal for an
other year or as long as he would and
this action was given unanimous rati-
fication by the congregation Sunday.
DIR. Rose, however, declared that he
had carefully considered his deter
mination to resign and must adhere
to it.
Reasons for Removal
Two principal reasons are leading
further east One is to live nearer the
aged parents of himself and wife and
the other is to get near to some col
lege town so that his sul-, Galen Rose,
who this year graduates from the
North Yakima High school may have
the benefit of a college education.
DR.. Rose first came to North Yak
ina in 1893 Immediately upon his
graduation from Drake university
and remained until 1895, going from
here to Eugene, and from there to
Tacoma and returning to North Yak
ina in 1904. A year ago his congre-
CATION here offered him the pastor
ate for life.
