ASTORIA PACKING HOUSES.
Where the Pack Will Re Handled Dur
'ng the Coming Season.
Active preparations for the work of
the coming fishing season are now being
made at the canneries and cold stor
age houses which are to be operated In
Astoria this vear. The canneries are
those of A. Rooth & Co.. George W.
Sanborn. The Fishermen's Co-operative
Packing Company, and the Elmore and
Kinney canneries of the Columbia Riv
er Packers Association, and the cold
storage houses are those of S. Schmidt
A Co.. C. B. Trescott and Undenber
ger Brothers.
In this connection It Is Interesting to
note that no loss than twenty-five can
nery enterprises and possibly more,
have been put in operation in the city
In the past. Of these, the buildings of
four have been entirely demolished, five
were burned down, eight are standing
In a more or less wrecked condition, and
the remaining eight, which Include the
five cannerlea which will be operated
part of them being the largest and
best on the river, are Intact. These
and the three cold storage plants, with
the excellent facilities for shipping fresh
fish to other points, will be ample
however to handle any run of fish that
Is liable to make Its appearance In the
river.
TO FOUND A MODEL TOWN.
A gigantic scheme is afloat. to found
a great model Industrial town in the
eastern part of the country, where shall
be gathered a variety of manufactur
ers and an army of employes, under so
cial conditions; the town and manufac
tures to be organised according to the
most approved business methods, with
th highest regard to the physical and
intellectual welfare of Its residents. Fif
ty yrars ngo, a medicine was founded
which also had In view the welfare of
humanity. This was Hostetter's Stom
ach Bitter, a remedy famed the world
over for tits cure of dyspepsia, consti
pation, indigestion, belching. Insomnia,
biliousness, nervousness and malaria.
fever and ague. As a spring tonic and
blood purifier. It is unequalled. Our

SOUND PACKERS TREMBLE.
Slashing Not Justified by Market Con
ditions. According to the statement of a well
known Portland salmon cAnner. there
Is consternation among the cannerymen
on Puget sound over the slashing of
price by the Alaka packer. Insiead
of watting for the canner of other so(..
tl ma to set the price, 0r even for an
approximation of the prospective pack
upon which to bise prices, the cannery,
men of Alaska have announced prices
th:it nra tlcally shut out competition.
Ther In no apparent reoain for this
abuhlng df prices and certainly none In
the market conditions, as all fish .are
In good d'-mand at stiff prices. The on
ly possible reason thU can be figured
out for this arbitrary cutting of prl e
is a desire io keep new canneries out
of the Alaska field.
The price flxd for aockeye salmon
this year by the Alaska canners I
f 1.02'j-i a case. Last year the market
oient-d nt 1135 and finely g-rt up as
high a $l.b'i. Ited last year sold at $1.10
and $l.lf a case. The price made this
year Is 95 cents.
A there Is no over-supply of salmon
on the market at the present time, and
mor-ovT no nosslble way of approxi
mating the 1901 pack, the material re.
diictlon ma le In pria by the Alaska
canners can b aooounted for upon no
other theory than that above Iodic t
mI. Alaska canner have a good thing
now. and If they can kp oth'r can-n-rles
out thiy probably hope t re.
tain a clncti on the situation. At the
Pgures aimed the Puget sound canners
will be unable to do any business at all.
It Is claimed, and It Is (juite likely
that retaliatory measures of some kind
will be taken If the prices fixed are to
govern the market. Telegram.

APPRECIATED BY BUSY MEN.
The busy professional or business man
has no time in which to nore over a
j I irg library when he wishes to learn
anv racts. regarding any event of Ira-,
pcrtance In the world's history. For
this reason a carefully compiled rec
ord of tho Important events of human
history from the earliest known rec
ords down to the Present day is ap
preciated by every intelligent student
of human affairs. It enables him to
find with a minimum of effort any fact
in the whole realm of history at a mo
ment's call. Ridpath's History of the
World, now being offered to the people
of Astoria by Mr. W. J. Forrester, is
a standard work of reference. It Is
written in an lntereing style. Is thor
oughly reliable as to facts and is so
profusely Illustrated that the study of
the pictures alone affords a complete
Insight Into the records of man's handi
work nnd progress. It Is complete In
nine large volumes and Is being Intro
duced at a price practically the same
as was formerly asked for the old
edition of three volumes only. To one
who has leisure to "It and read by the
hour, this edition is especially attrac
tive, as its large and clear type does
not tire the eyes as the print of other
works covering the same ground usu
ally doe. Professor Rldpath, the au
thor of this history. Is well known as
a historical writer as well as an edu
cator. Mr. Forrester will eladly furnish
any desIrM Information concerning the
work to any who may be Interested.
He will remain in the' city for a few
days more and may be reached by
oostal addressed "W. J. Forrester,
City."
