The O. R. A N. Co. Is making exten
sive Improvements to its large ware
house, and contemplates other Im
provements In the near future. So
well pleased Is the company with the
work being done by L. Lebek. the
contractor that they have given him
a contract to replank the entire fldor
of the old wharf. Work on the new
wharf is being pushed rapidly for
Vard and when completed will be one
of the longest wharves in the state.
The wharf has already been extend
ed from the old wharf a dlstanec of
over S00 feet to a connection with the
east end of Bond street. It will be ex
tended out to the river channel 107
feet at the west end. running to a
point at the east end of the present
wharf, being on a direct line with the
Callender wharf.
It Is rumored that the company
contemplates making other extensive
Improvements, and that grain elevat
ors will scon be. constructed In thla
city. The opening of the Dalle-Cel-llo

be shipped from Astoria without

than it can be shipped by rail east
and then foreign, there is no doubt
but the shipping industry of Astoria
will be revived and there will be pien
