FACTS ABOUT ASTORIA AND ITS INDUSTRIES
Astoria, today Is a, bustling, cosmo
politan city of 15.000 people. IU popu
lation represents almost every nation
ality on earth, In consequence of which
It Is a lively center of business activity.
Ita advantageous location at the moutn
of the great Columbia river makes it
the trade mart of the vast producUvt
region of northwestern Oregon and
southwestern Washington, and it Is the
supply point for fully 25,000 people. It
Is Oregon's second city In size and Im
portance.
The estimate of population here
given Is conservative. The 1900 gov
ernment census accredited the city
with about 9000 people, but the launch
ing of new enterprises, together with
the natural growth, has added many
hundreds to the population in the past
five years. Failure to develop local re
sources has resulted In slow growth
but a new era of commercial activity
is dawning and the prospects for the
city's future are very bright.
On its magnificent location ana won
,,i natural advantages Astoria
bases its expectations of future great.

f importance in the world,

with the broad ocean but 10 miles from
ita wharves, it enjoys marked aavant
ages as a shipping center. The gravity
route of the Columbia river Is nature's
hiehway Ut the great inland empire,
the immense product of which must be
exDorted from the ocean port. At As
toria the largest ships may find safe
moorings, and its harbor will accom
modate all the shipping that may ever
t tho northwest coast. It Is
nre-emlnently the Pacific slope port,
as New York is the Atlantic port, and
must soon receive from the transcon
tinental railroads the recognition which
it n.ivantaees lustlfy. as has New
Tork on the Atlantic coast.
Development of the lumbering In
dustry will alone make Astoria great.
Thwe ere 75,000,000,000 feet of tlbmr
standing In the foresU near the city.
This vast timber supply Is great
enough to keep in steady operation for
20 years 100 large mills, and to affori
employment during that period to 15,
000 persons In the manufacturing
plants, to say nothing of the army of
workmen that would be employed In
the forests. The first steps towards the
development of lumbering have now
i.k.n fn,if mlln with ft fiflllv
output exceeding 300,000 feet, are in
operation. The forests are only a short
distance from the city, And the cost of
bringing logs to Astoria is light, mark

manufactuer of lumber. The advant-

coast
The growth of the salmon Industrj
will likewise prove of great benefit tc
Astoria. By means of artificial propa
gation, this magnificent business has
come to stay. It will be built up, with
in a few years, to four times Its present
magnitude, and will then mean more
than $10,000,000 annually to the city.
Several Alaskan salmon canneries are
owned and operated here and each
year bring large sums to their norm
office. The possibilities of Astoria as a
fishing port or center In other lines of
fishing Industries are also of great
Importance, and the attention of capi
talists Is called to this city as a deep-
sea fishing center; also to the great
runs of genuine French sadrlnes which
come Into the river by the hundreds of
billions every year.
The lower Columbia river district,
with its mild climate, offers unsur
passed inducements to dairymen, farm
ers and small-fruit growers. While
small-fruit growing has not been ex
tensively engaged In, those who have
followed it have been most successful,
and one enterprising grower Is now
harvesting two strawberry ' crops a
year the only instance of the kind
known In this section of the country.
Settlement of the productive lands of
the county will work wonders for the
city and assist materially in Its upbuilding.
There are many other lesources
which will combine to bring about the
future greatness of Astoria. Here are
to be found opportunities for men in
every walk of life capitalists, small
Investors, farmer, dairymen, fruit
grower and laborer. This new country,
where fortunes await the energetic,
offers to those seeking location the
best advantages of any section of the
west.
In every respect Astoria Is metro
politan. It enjoys splendid facilities
of all kinds, is a pleasure-loving city
and thoroughly up-to-date. Thou
sands of strangers visit Astoria ever)
month, and during the summer season
It la the Mecca of those who live Jn
the Interior. It has Its different quar
ters, like the larger cities, and, best of
Labor Is always In demand, at the
highest wages, and there Is much en
couragement for the man who wishes
to engage In business. Strangers often
remark the uniform courtesy of thu
people and the general effort on the
part of Astorlans to make matters
pleasant for visitors. The home-seek
er or investor who fails to visit Astoria
will make a great mistake, for no other
community In the Pacific northwest
offers such opportunities as the lower
Columbia river district.
'Astoria has a $300,000 gravity water
system, a paid fire department, first-
class street car service, gas and elec
tric lighting systems, free public li
brary, unexcelled transportation facili
ties, complete school system, 40 civic
societies, three dally and six weekly
newspapers, excellent telegraph, .anl
telephone service, three banks carry
Ing deposits of about $2,000,000, two ex
press offices, first-class theaters, 14
churches, labor unions representing
every branch of trade, two energetic
ommerelal organizations, two social
clubs, admirably conducted hospital,
miles of manufacturing sites, plenty or
fine residence and business property;
is th only fresh-water seaport on the
Pacific coast; Is situated at the mouth
of a river that drains an empire; has a
harbor large enough to accommodate
the combined shipping of the Paclfl
coast; has a trunk-line railroad con
necting it with four transcontinental
railroads; Is the uttermost railroad ex
tension point on the American conti
nent; Is 200 miles nearer Yokahoma
and other oriental ports than any other
Pacific coast port; Is 160 miles nearer
the Cape Nome mining country than
any other port on the Pacific coast; Is
the salmon shipping center of ' the
world; Is the center of one of the
greatest poslble dairy Industries that
the country today possesses.
It is the only place where the royal
chinook salmon Is packed; has Sub
stantial public and business buildings,
factories and handsome residences.
Astoria's 8ehool 8ystm.
Astoria's schol system Is not sur
passed by that of any other city of
the size In the west. At present ther
are six large school buildings here,
The schools are conveniently located In
all sections of the city, and In every
respect are modm In their appoint
ments. Well-appointed schools are to
be found throughout the county, and
children living on farms and In vil
lages enjoy educational advantages al
most equal to those nfforded city chil
dren. Astoria's Water System.
Astoria jsssesses n $300,000 gravity
water system, which Is not iuuled
In equipment by nny other system In
the Pacific northwest. The water
works are operated by the municipal
government ns represented by the
water commission, and constitute the
city's most valuable asset. The wntoi
Is brought from Hear creek, about 10
miles distant, which has Its source In
the mountains.
The reservoir Is situated on the pla
teau back of the city, where the sup
ply Is1 regulated. The water system of
Astoria Is extensive enough to supply
the needs of 100,000 people, besides af-j
fording fire protection to all parts of
the city.
Th. Lumbering Industry.
The mouth of the Columbia river
has the greatest body of timber tribu
tary and available of nny point In the
world. ,
The lumbering business Is the larg
est In the Pacific northwest; It out
ranks In value of product any other
line. Production of wheat Is a close
second, being worth $17,000,000 a year,
while the value of the lumber output
Is $18,000,000. Coal, gold and silver,
fruit, cattle ond sheep, wool and fish.
all of which are produced In great
abundance, fall far below, nor hardly
equal In the aggregate, the wealth de
rived from the forests. The town,
therefore, that commands the greatest
resources available of fine timber murt
have a great outlook. Demand for
mountains, but little near Astoria. The
spruce, of the tldeland species. Is found
only on th west slopes of the coast
mountains. It attains a diameter vary.
nng from about an average of six fort
to 16 or 17; and specimens 57 and 63
feet each In girth have been measured
19 to 31 feet In diameter. Hemlock
occurs ss a mixed or smaller growth
with fir and spruce, trees seldom being
I great height, although often very
large, n cedar Is found mixed with
the other timbers, the trees seldom be
Ing of greater height, although often
very large. Yet cedar Is not plentiful
in this section. In general estimates oi
limner production 20,000 fept to the
acre are oiiowcd. Single acres have
been known to produce ten times t hi
amount, quarter sections of timber
land on the market are usually estl
muted at 3,000,000 to 11,000,000 feet each,
board measure.
Mills sod Manufacturing.
Although manufacturing Is as yet In
Its Infancy In Astoria, more than 4300
persons are employed In the Instltu
uons now doing huslness here. The
salmon Industry employs by far the
greatest number of persons, hut the
seasons extend over a period of only
about six months, and at other time
those engaging In It follow other lines
of pursuit. The lumbering Industry,
Including box factories, barrel factor
ies, etc., Is rapidly assuming prosir
thins, ond will, within a few years, out
rank the fishing interests.
Astoria wants more manufacturing
concerns, and offers the very best In
ducements to capitalists. Hore are to
be found unexcelled sites, with the ad.
vantage of both rail and water connec
tions, and the Intending Investor In
western properties should look over the
Astoria situation. Bites can be secured
at very low prices.
More than $3,000,000 Is Invested In
manufacturing plants here, while the
timber will not decrease, but become value of the yearly product exceeds

greatest resources.
