PROSPEROUS SEASON Indications Point to a Successful Year in Astoria. eastern People coming in While Mny Improvement Ouohl to Be Mde, the City It Prosperous and Show Steady, Healthy Growth in Both Business and Building. Indications point to a busy season in Astoria this summer and fall. A Iarg8 rUn of salmon will distribute thousands of dollars In the city and ounty and give employment to a large number of men. The building of the railroad, while, at first did not create any preemptible boom aj was anticipated, is now reoognlted as an Important factor In the development j and building up of the city and coun ty. - Merchants report business of all kinds good; there is an unusual amount of building going on, both In business and residences, and there has never been such a demand for houses as th's spring. At one time it was considered that Astoria" future lay in the develop ments to be promulgated by Mr. Ham mond. He has done all he promised to do and would have done more had he been given the opportunity, but people are beginning to rely more upon their own exertions. They are adapt ing themselves to circumstances; are satisfied with their lot and the bright condition of affairs and have Implicit faith in the future. Astoria has not been built up by a boom, it has in creased In population and walth on jt merits and location and grand na. lural resources. True, there are a umber of wealthy men in Astoria, but many of them are interested in tha Ashing industry and distribute thou sands of dollars annually in the city and vicinf y. The only ones that are suffering for the want of a boom are those having large landed interests. They have given of their lands liber ally and donated money to establish and take sWk In new enterprises, and they are not in a position to inaugu rate a boom. Nature has done wonders for Asto ita. It has given It one of the bes.t aatural harbors on the coast; It has filled Its mountains with coal, Iron, timber; filled its rivers with an abund ance of the finest salmon in the world, providing employment for thousands f honest fishermen. Clatsop count las some of the finest dairying and agricultural lands on the coast, and all that Is lacking to provide for the lmt jratlon of eastern farmers, is good eotmty road)v These will come In time. ' Astoria, while an old city In point f years, is comparatively new in de relopment. There Is not a more iealthy climate In the world than at tile mouth of the Columbia. It has the finest summer resort on the north Pa, aific coast . visited by thousands of people every year who come to en. joy the health invigoratlnfe sea breeaes. Game and fish in endiess va riety are found in its mountains and streams. The people of Astoria have won the reputation of being the most hospit able and best entertainers In the Unit ed States and its reputation; ha9 spread all over the entire land. A large majority of the merchants ar enterprising, wide-awake men who have shared the profits of their busi ness with enterprises calculated to benefit the' city and bring people hero. True, there are some drawbacks that materially interfere with the prosper ity and growth of Atsoria, but It is only a matter of time when there will be swept away. It may be a year, it may be two years, or it may be five years, before the advantages of As toria are fully appreciated, but a city with so many opportunities for Inven Kent and making money cannot be long overlooked. But Astoria must learn not to de- Bend too much upon its salmon In dustry. Astoria can be made one of the most prosperous cities on the roast, and that will be when there are good county roads, the agricultural !ands are occupied by thrifty farmers and when from ten to a hundred farm wagons come to Astoria every week; when we produce farm products sufll lent to supply our own people and do not have to send out of our own city for everything we consume and pay exhorbltant prices for them Cullaby lako were opened n follows: J.
