That Is some old for a town, even a city, and perhaps Astoria, or anyhow the Astorlans, would not like to have the place spoken of aa a town, a "vllle" or a- "burg." And.( truth to tel. while there are only about a. dosen thousand people there, it la a bustling, booming business rltv and . never wss In belter shape than today. In fact It may be said that Astoria frittered away almost a century and onlr began ta forge ahead as the hun dred mark was being passed. W hy this was and how It was nobody knows. Good people, a good location, fine sur roundings, a large tributary country, great packing and lumoerlng estab lishments, at the mouth of the area! river of the west! What more could a people wish or ask? Bot the old order of things must pass awav. say the Astorlans. and with the opening of a new century must come a braver spirit, a more earnest eo-operatlon. a ftner atand for the com mon good. Just why some cities grow and others do not Is one of those things beyond solution. But there are many Instances of cities standing almost still for many years, and then taking a new lease of life, as It were, and going ahead with leaps and bounds. Centennial Means New Life.

It Is estimated that from 15,000 to 10.000 Elks will be here to attend the clambake, barbecue and high Jinks on the 12th. Well, the boys will be ready for them with a thousand gal lons of clam chowder aa a aiarier, other eatable in proportion. Are you coming bere during the ex po It lasts for 30 days. You will be able through the exhibits to learn more of the history of Oregon than you could graps In the same time by any other means. You will be royally treated. You will be among friends. And it Is, In a measure, your exposi tion. The Astorlans are but the dis pensers, almoners, so to speak, of a $50,000 fund given them by the people at large for this concession. To this they have added, to. be sure, a hun dred thousand of their own money but the show belong primarily to every Oregonlan, the state appropriation having made It possible. And you are invited to come and see the oldest town In the Northwest, read Its history through the exhibits and have a good time generally.
