time. 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

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

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
