s THE MORNING ASTORI AN, ASTORIA, OREGON. SATURDAY,' I'EHItUAHY till. GOOD INDUCEMENTS Astoria Offers a Splendid Field I for Investments, . . oimiDE caitaI if Wanted 3-. . Undeveloped RorcV to City and f County Olfer GoMwi OpporHini- tits to Roalizo Profit on th p Amount of Investment ' There has been mora capital In vested In Astoria ana more improve ments made during the past year than In any previous five years of its his tory. One reason for this is that the ity and county are better advertised than either have ever . been before. Another reason is that a large acces sion to its population is composed ot the enterprising and rustling business element from the east, who have awakened the lagging Interest mani fest in some of the old Itmers. There has not been a dollar Invested in As toria during the past three years but what is paying a good interest on the investment. The people appreciate newcomers and are willing to aid them in any legitimate enterprise. People who have come here within the past two years and started new enterprises have been compelled to en large their plant in order to accommo date their fast increasing business. This has created a demand for more laborers. Many new houses have been built to accommodate the newcomers. New stores have been built to meet the wants and requirements of trade, and today Astoria is one ot the best mi most prosperous cities on the Pa elflc coast. There has bee)n more aoney invested in the saimon industry luring the past two years than in any ten preceding ones. The artificial propogatlon of salmon has proved a success and the demand for Colum bia river salmon far exceeds the sup ply. 5 The timber Industry has nearly doubled resulting in an increased out put of logs and an increased amount of lumber manufactured. Two large saw anills have been constructed and ,the three1 mills in 'operation ' in j Astoria have increased their business during the past year and the demand for Clat sop county lumber h constantly in creasing. New logging camps have been started in Astoria with sufficient capital to put It on its feet that has not proven a paying Investment and provided; dividends for1 its owner There has not been a business failure in Astoria for three years, showing that business Is good and the city in a healthy financial condition. There is only one thing lacking to make the county the most prosper ous in the state, and that is more farmers and dairymen. No other coun ty affords such a good field for In vestment, with the richest of soil making both Industries profitable There Is a market In Astoria for every pound of farm produce that can b raised and everything brings a good price. There is never a failure of crops and when the seed Is planted In the ground all that remains is the har vest. There is not a state east of the rocky mountains where farmers and dairymen can do as well as In Clatsop county. If people can be Induced to eome heer and look over the situation there will be no doubt of their locating and becoming . permanent residents. With a large farming community; with hundreds and thousands of acres devoted to dairying, the population of the county will grow and the popula tion of the city will show a marked increase. Astoria has a population of at least 14,000 today, an increase of about 4000 In the past two years. There are no Idle men, work Is plentiful and will Increase. Strikes and labor troubles are unknown, for the reason that good wages are paid and the mechanics and laboring men are contented and happy There Is no doubt but there will be thousands of visitors in Astoria dur ing the coming summer and efforts should be made to entertain them and explain the great possibilities of the city and county for investment and residence. This duty devolves to 8 great extent upon the chamber of com merce and Push Club, and they will no doubt perform their share of the work. A copy of a live Astoria paper should be placed In the hands of every visitor, for people looking for a loca tion form their ideas of a community from the newspapers published. It h, a mirror reflecting the sentiments and business of a city, a guide for invest Bient and a newspaper well filled with the advertisements of enterprising . merchants Is indicative of prosperity. berg, asking to move dirt from the hospital grounds to fill on Sixteenth street was referred to the street com mittee.

' AFTER BEEF TRUST United States Marshals Are After Witnesses, s MANHATTAN AND BLOOKiYN Subpoenas Imu for a Largs Number of Promtnt , Men to Appear and Testify in Examination of the Trust to Be Held in Chioago. PLAYED SLUGS. In Slot Machines and Sent to the Psni- . tentiary. Tacoma. Feb. S3. Ed Stlckney, the man who manufactured slugs In the shape of nlckles and quarters with which to loot nlckle-ln-the-slot ma chines, has been sentenced to three years on McNeil's Island. Stlckney' defense was that he made the slugs to wreak revenge on Fred Baldle, who controls the slot machine Industry In Tacoma. Stlckney was terribly beat en by Baldle and his men when he was caught using the slugs In the ma chines. The slugs were blank on one side. POLITICUEKIERS New York, Feb. 24. Unusual activ ity among the forces of the United States marshals In Manhattan and Brooklyn hat revealed the fact that subpoena In the federal beef com bine Investigation are being served on a large number of the local represen tatlves of the local meat packing com panies. Budgets of subpoenas from the of flee of the attorney general were re celved by United States Marshal Hau bert of the Brooklyn district and Unit ed States Marshal Henkel of the New York district and no time was lost in effecting personal servjee upon the employes whose testimony Is wanted In Chicago. After the subpoenas arrived tele grams were received from the attor ney genral's office, enjoining upon the local officials the most absolute se crecy In regard to' the matter and both Marshal Henkel and Mnrshtil Haubert refused to say a word con cernlng the persons who have been summoned.

Palm- Fortland, Ore., Feb. 22, 1905. Editdr Morning Astorian: Dear Sir I want to put you wise to a very clever scheme that Is now hatching that shows the old Portland hog In its true colors. Portland never wants Astoria to have anything it can keep away and the sorest thing it has ever had to put up with was the elec tion of an Astoria man to the United States senate ' two years ago. Now j there Is a Job on foot to steal the sen atorshlp away from Astoria. A meet ing of the Oregon Devleopment' Asso ciation or league has been called to be held here In a short time. The al leged purpose Is to make arrangements for the representation of counties at the Lewis and Clark fair. The real game, the nigger In the woodpile, is to bring out T. B. Wilcox for senator to succeed Mitchell next time and Judge Harry Cake to succeed Fulton In 1909. Both of these men have the bee in their bonnet very bad. Both are leaders In the Commercial Club, which Is close to the Oregon Delevopment League and controls Its policy. Cake is to be promoted by degrees. The trick of the gang Is to make him mayor of Portland this year. That would make him first in line for the repub lican nomination for governor next year, and if elected then he would as pire for .the senatorship in 1909, and either get It, or defeat Astoria's can didate. This Is a great proposition and I hope you wlH put our people onto it. You can see through It when you are told that there Is nothing but hog- gfshness in the Portland makeup. AN ASTORIA CITIZEN. Because It Is for On Thing Only, and Astoria Residents Are Rapidly Learning This. Nothing can be good for everything, Doing one thing will bring success. Doan's Kidney Pills do one thing only. , i ?' . vv- They are for sick kidneys. They cure backache and every kid ney ill. Here Is evidence to prove it: i J. Blake, whose place of residence Is S25 Market street, Portland, says: . '1 bought several boxes of Doan's Kid ney Pills, and I scarcely think If the first had not proved satisfactory that I would have tried the second or third. I have used In my time almost every thing said to be a cure for weakened or overexcited kidneys and bladder but nothing ever gave me the satis faction I revelved from Doan's Kid ney Pills. They are easy to take, have no effect upon the stomach or bowels and act directly on the kidneys, and I thoroughly believe from the results I receive"! andl also from observation that Doan's Kidney Pills are one prep aration on the market which acts di rectly as represented." Emphatic endorsement can be had right here In Astoria. Drop Into Chas. Rogers' drug store and ask what cus tomers report. Sold 'for BOc per box by all drug gists. Foster-Mllhurn Co., Buffalo, N.
