Street Mayor Suprenant conservatively es timate!, that Astoria's population has Increased u0 since the government census a little more than three years ago. There are many who believe the mayor's flitures are too low, but the probabilities are he Is within a few hundred of the actual number of new cltisens Astoria has acquired during the three years. . The estimate mad by the the mayor la for official use. A few days ago he received a letter from Director of the Census 8. N. D. North, requesting Information as to the growth of the city since the time of taking the gov ernment census. In 1900. Mayor 8u prenant who I regarded as very con servative, make the following reply to Director North' letter: "In response to your request for In formation about tbe commercial and populous growth of this city since the government census of 1900, I have the pleasurable honor to state that the pro portion of Increase of both has been greater than at any time In Its previous history. . Exact data la not obtainable, but the Increase of the different Indus trie and the Increase of population Is very noticeable. ' "Being thoroughly familiar with lo- jcal conditions through active business connections and the association with all I Interests tn my official capacity, I be hleve that a conservative estimate of the Increase of population tn Astoria since 1M0 Is In the neighborhood of those same figures 1S00. This Is a remarkable percentage of Increase for a city established more then 50 years, but It Is no exaggeration, as In that time the building of houses has been contin uous and rushed, while there Is still an Increasing demand for homes. Not altogther but to a very great extent this can be attributed to the develop ment of the lumber Industry and this city has directly tributary to It the most extensive and finest body of fir and spruce timber In the world. The development of this has only Just com menced and while In 1900 the cutting canarliv of the Astoria mills was not i T - over 150,000 feet, today they cut 800,- 000 feet, with several new mills projected. 'Astoria Is the center of the great Co lumbia river salmon Industry that em ploys thousands of people and, with state and government aid for the prop agation of- the fish, the Industry gives every evidence of Increasing In value 'yearly. The virgin product of the for est and sea constitutes a substantial wealth to Astoria that nothing can 'cheek her growth for ears to come, as the stimulus of the growing trade to the orient sustains tho price of her product and creates Improved de mands."

Mr. Peterson salted with a party, which Included Mr. Peterson, on September 4, IMS, on, the Abb! Dearing for Kodlak. It win be remembered that the schooner waa wrecked on her passage. Mr. Peterson succeeded In landing on Akun Island. Mr. Peterson said: 'After spending the larger part of two seasons looking over the states of Oregon and Washington looking for suitable locations for the raising of stock on a large scale, 1, with othwrs, decided to Investigate the resourree of these Islands. They surpassed our hlgheat expectations. "We found hundreds of aire on r early every on of the larger Islands of the finest kind of grazing land, the grass on which was In many plnces five feet high. This, taken with the climate the coldst weather, according to the reports of the United Ptatcs weather bureau for the last seventy-five years bo lug six ubov zero, mak-s tbe place Ideal for th purpose of raising stock. 1 predict that In a .few years He attle, as well as all Alaska pnjnts, will be getting their meat supplies from till section. Several large commercial companies have ben raising stock In these Islands for the Inst seventeen years, and they say that they have never been required to feed their cat tle, simply letting them run the yenr around. "There Is no doubt but that this is the coming country for stock. The nearby market Is one of the largest in the world. Alaska alone taking mors than 50.000 head last year, all of which was shipped In from the states.1 "Outside of their resources as a stock country the Islands have many promising prospects, Unimak Island having copper and coal mines as well as a small oil field Just opened. We fijund oil seepage on several of the Is lands, a well a some of the prettiest native copper that I ever saw. "We have secured several large tract oftland on Akun Island, where we will ship a large number of cattle and sheep, having already contracted for several carloads, which we will ship from North Dakota about the 15th of the coming June," ( A Costly Mistake.
