To those who are wavering on Ue nuestlori of whether or not they ahull attend the Centennial at. Astoria, we would urge a decision for the afflrma tive.

The old timers tn Astoria ad-; mit tw never knew hrl times evenl when panic was on. The- reason for this is simple: The best Salmon in the world is caught and canned at Astoria. The supply of Salmon is never equal to the demand, and there you have it big money for the can neries, big money for the expert fish ermen, who in turn spend their money In Astoria and have a good time. The- eo-ocerative Idea has struck this industry the same as It has struck all other Industries and there Is a can nery now In operation that is making good under co-operative methods. At ! first It was feared this institution j might disrupt business, but the de i mand for Columbia river Salmon grew land grew! until there Is business enough for twice the amount of can neries, including the co-operative bus iness. . "'. ; ' " Astoria's Centennial is Just like any other big little show. It has its nice features and its drawbacks, but chief of the latter is the difference of opin ion amonsr the home people. When , the Centennial was first thought of, j It was a question whether it should 1 v. iM mi ih. wfitar front and hraceri on piling or whether it should be placed on top of- the mountain near by. The mountaineers won the fight and thereby created a breach which Is quite a common occurrence in all smaller towns and large ones, too a condition that usually follows where there are people to decide public mat ters. Well, the exposition grounds were laid but on the hill and the buildings were erected. It took a a -result thera m discord Trnm- ihs beginning. An admission fee was I grounds but ply their trade in the down town district amid the smell of hamberg steak and hot tamales. v Another feature that Is repulsive to i to be from Chicago.

We have enumerated the fea tures which, might be distasteful to some of our neighbors who lite our selves, have been accustomed to a well regulated, peaceful city and country away from deep water and its accompaniments, but the nice things and Interesting things to be seen at Astoria will repay anyone for a yislt there. They bav,e splendid parades. extraordinary pyrotechnic displays and withal it Is a fine place to spend an Hrath that salt it fiatt and get an idea of a foreign 'city lo cated on American shores.
