COW TO OREGON
Thousands of Farmers Coming to
Oregon to Locate.
LOOKING FOR FARM LANDS
i
Clatsop County Orfert Special Induce
menta for Thrifty Farmer Upon It
Fertibr Lands, Where Crept Never
Fail and Good Price Prevail.
Accordia to the dispatches pub
shed in Sunday's Atsoriun all the
transcontinental railroads out of Chi
cago are unable to secure sufficient
transportation facilities to accommo
date the large number of people com
feur to this coast, and the dispatches
farther state thRt hundreds of car
loads of farmers from Ohio, Pennsyl
vania and New Work pass St. Paul on
Tery train, bound for Idaho, Wash
inelon and Oregon. That most of
them have sufficient means to buy a
farm and cultivate it. The question
Interesting the peopel of Oregon Is,
where will all this great army of farm
ess locate.
Representatives of nearly every
county in Oregon are in Portland to
anee these people. They have copies
of local papers containing a descrip
tion of the resources of their respect.
Ire counties, together with other liter
ature showing v the inducements of
fered to settlers: with a description
and price of farm lands, and In this
way, nearly all the leople arriving in
Portland are sent to the Willamette
valley and eastern Oregon. Clatsop
worrty nas no representatives in Fort
land. K hasn't even an exhibition ot
tft resources of the county at the
Ewfs and Clark fair. It has no copies
mt the local newspapers or other litera
ture to distribute among the new com
ers, consequently few. If any of them
wfll come to Clatsop county to locate.
If Astoria had a commercial organi
sation Interested In building up the
etty and county, developing its re
source and some one In Portland to
wet these people and bring them to
this city, there Is no doubt but hun.
4reds of them could be Induced to lo
ate here. There Is not a county In
the state that has so many and varriea
resources; so many Inducements to
offer; so many acres of rich agricul
tural land and dairy land that Is as
weft adapted to agricultural pursuits
Clatsop county. There Is no coun
ty in the state where farming will nay
a well as In Clatsop county; where
ttwe ta such a good market. In direct
ornrnunicatlon with all parts of the
United States and the world, where
cean and rail meet and where there
such a demand for farm produc ts as
tir Clatsop county.
In addition to this Clatsop county
las the most healthful and delightful
. eUinate in the world. Eastern Oregon
Satt many acres of fine land, but the
winters are almost Identical with those
f the east, which a large number of
aurtern fanners have been compiled
to leave on account of the extreme
cold. The Willamette valley has many
eriEs of fin lanls, but the summers
are excessively warm, and . last year
most of the crops were a failure on ac
count of the drouth. With Clatsop
founty It is wholly different. There Is
wo cold weather, and the invigorating
reezes from the ocean in the summe
snakes Astoria and Clatsop county a
paradise. Pulmonary troubles are
frequently epidemic In eastern Oregon-,
malarial fevers abound In the Willam
ette valley, but the salt air, propelled
tjy ocean breezes, drives all malaria
away, and the mildness of the winters
Jeeps out pulmonary diseases. There
Sb less sickness and fewer deaths In
Clatsop county than In any other coun
ty of Its size on the coast. There are
some of the inducements Clatsop coun
tr offers to the eastern farmers who
are lotting for homes.
But as long as no effort Is being
nade by commercial organizations of
the city and county to bring these Im
portant matters to the attention ot
the rarload.1 of eastern visitors daily
arriving in Oregon looking for homes
it Is extremely doubtful if they will be
apprised of the many inducements
jrwaltlng them, and they will be taken
other localities and located on farm.
&tff lands to the exclusion of a county
that possesses more natural resources,
better lands and cheaper prices than
any other county in the state. There
Is not a single person In Portland to
peak a g'H,d word for Clatsop county
and there is not a single person In
Astoria who would meet any of these
(Hf)te at the trains or boats. It
her we sent here, and the indica
tions are that the centenlal year will
go by without Astoria or Clatsop coun
ty deriving any benefit from it, simply
becaues It lacks ambition and enterprise.
the department of commerce and labor
had requested the fish warden to send
hlnv a complete statement of the cost
of operating the- fish hatcheries in Or
gn, and other mfttters connected with
the Industry. Mr. Van Pusen Is pre
paring the data and will forward It to
Secretary Metcaif this week.
LICENSE PEDDLERS.
County
Petition Circulated Asking
Court to Fix License. -
A petition la being circulated and
numerously signed to the county court
asking the court to fix the license ot
hawkers and peddlers In Clatsop
county at 500 a year. At the last ses
sion of the legislature a bill was passed
requiring the county court to fix the
license on all peddlers of vehicles, or
any kind of merchandise, peddled or
hawked through the county, the object
being to put a stop to itinerant ped
dlers selling goods throughout the
county. The matter will come up at
the next session of the county court.
The law was evidently passed to pro
tect Clatsop county suckers from be
ing swindled by a class of grafters
who unload any kind of worthless im
plements upon the farmers and others.

CAUGHT FISHING.
Deputy Warden Webster Arrests An-
tone Pfdertan for llliegal Fishing.
Deputy Fish Warden Webster, who
has been patrolling the river for vio
lators of the fishing laws, caught An
tone Pederson of Altoona fishing In
the waters of the Columbia river last
Friday evening. He was arrested, but
afterward released, but all of his gear
was confiscated and brought to Asto
ria, where condemnation proceedings
will be commenced and the gear sold
as provided by law. Any man that will
violate the fishing laws after receiv
ing concessions from the legislature
ought to lose his gear and be Impris
oned until the fishing season Is over.
This is the only way to teach some
people the necessity of obeying the
laws.
STILL ALIVE.
Joe Nick, Who Was Shot at Clifton, in
Dangerous Condition.
There Is no noticeable Improvement
in the condition of Joe Nick, who was
shot at Clifton ten days ago by Con
stantlne Lemon. He was operated up
on, but owing to his condition no ef
fort was made to extract the bullet.
It is believed that it pierved his lft
lung, and as penumonia has set In tt
Is very doubtful If he recovers. Lemon
Is out on ball, but If Nick dies, he will
be arrested and a charge of murder
booked against him.
Sale of Seaside House.
The sale of the Seaside houes) and
Holliday property comes up In the
county court of Multnomah county to
day for confirmation. It was adver
Used for sale a month ago and Harry
Hamblet and associates bid $23,000
for the property. It is very probable
that the sale will be confirmed, In
which event the purchasers will Im
mediately have the land surveyed and
plotted, and laid off Into lots. That It
will meet with ready sale admits of
no doubt, and the low price at which
it will be offered will create a boom at
Seaside. It Is the most desirable sum
mer resort at the beach.
