Report come from the Snake river
that some last time is being made up
there by the steamer Mountain Om
which was recently built by the Port
land Shipbuilding Company. A couple of
days ago she covered the run from I in
Italia river to Salmon river, a distance ol
four mile, in 0 1-2 minutes This is a
little faster than the average passenger
cares to travel, but, assisted by the swilt
current, the sped is not realized, except
one throws a glance atlie fleeting bants
which, at this particular part of the river
are steep and well defined. Captain Gray

Same Old Kitchen.
Last winter a Topcka sts'iety lady
wanted to get rid of an old parrot which
she owned. It had only one tailfeather.
but possessed an extensive vocabulary of
choice cuss words. A bright idea struck
her. She was hostess for a card party
one day, and she gave the parrot as the
booby prize. The woman who won it
took it home, and bided her time. It soon
came her time to entertain the club and
furnish the prize She gave the parrot
as the booby prize, too. From that time
on the parrot became the booby prize,
and made the rounds of most of the
homes of the women Finally the woman
who originated the idea won the booby
prize the other day, and carried home the
old bird. The parrot, recognized his for
mer home, blinked his eyes several times,
and then with disgust said: "Oh, hell;
the kitchen's as dirty as ever."

Cnless a person takes a trip over the
several miles of new roads that have been
constructed in Clatsop county during the
past two years, they can form no idea of
th vast amount of beneficial work that
has been done and the large area of agri
cultural and grazing lands that have Wen
ened for settlement. Within a radius
of ten miles, in a semi-circle, good road"
have Wn built to a distance of three
miles south of Olney direct from Astoria;
to Tucker creek and the Lewis and Clark!
to Seaside and to a distance of nearly 12
miles south of Seaside opening up sonic
of the rlne-t agricultural and dairying
land to le found anywhere on the coast
In the work, the county court has lecn
avitfd by the enterprising farmers of
Clatsop county. The district near Olney
on Youngs River, Tucker ereek, lvi
and Clurk and the Xeeanicuin now have
aeeessable county roads to Astoria ovei
which there will lie no trouble to haul the
products of the farms. While Clatsop
county has not filled up very rapidly
with farmers during the past five years,
the census reports show that these dis
tricts have increased in the accession of
farmers Farming in this vast district is
yet in its infancy, but with the building
of county roads it will be stimulated and
within the next two years it is expected
that this district will be able to supply
the Astoria market with all the farm
products used, and possibly leave a sur
plus for shipment to Portland.
In what little advertisement Clatsop
county has received by commercial or
ganizations, there has been practically
nothing said about the farming oppor
tunities of the county, possibly for the
reason, that the farming lands were cut
off from the markets for the want of
good roads. Everything advertised has
been the salmon and timber resources.
This has been productive of no good and
has been a waste of money. There are
all the salmon canneries and cold storage
plants on the Columbia river that are re
quired for the product. There are all the
logging camps necessary to supply the
demand for logs, and it is not necessary
to advertise these resources What Clat-
sop county wants and must have, is
farmers.
Commissioner Clarke stated to an
Astorian representative yesterday, that
he was acquainted with a man in Wash
ington county that made 10,000 last
year from raising onions alone. Commis
sioner La r sen stated that he knew a man
in HillsWo that made $4,000 clear last
year off from one acre in raising onions.
There is not a fanner near any of the
large cities in Oregon and Washington,
that is not making a small fortune every
year raising small vegetables. Even the
Chinamen of Astoria are muking money
every year from their vegetable gardens,
and over (10,000 was sent by these men
to China last year through the local
banks. If the Chinamen can make money
raising vegetables, why cannot the white
farmers make money?
There are a large number of young
men in Astoria just starting out in life
who seem to prefer the excitement and
temptations of city life to the large pro
fits and fortune acrtiing from farming
life. If they work twenty years in Asto
ria in the employment of someone else
nine out of ten won't have money
enough at the expiration of ten years to
buy a new suit of clothes, whereas, were
they to purchase five acres of land and
cultivate it, inside of ten years they
would have a good home and a few thous
and dollars in the banks.
It is claimed by some that the pro
ductive lands in Clatsop county sell for
from $50 to $100 an acre and that they
can not afford to buy. If an acre of land
will yield a net profit of $2,000 a year
in gardening, which experience has dem
onstrated it will do, the hinds are cheap
at that prir-e. There is no lietter invest
ment in Clatsop county than in five-acre
tracts of land devoted to gardening.
Clatsop county lands have been known to
yield a net profit of $VH an acre in rais
ing potatoes alone. There is not a farm
product known that will not grow and
yield abundently in Clatsop county, and
the wonder is that more young men do
not go to small farming instead of work
ing on small salaries with their wash-

securing the cultivation of farming lands
it will be of more benefit to the city and
county than all the manufacturing in-

the farming industry is built up the man
ufacturing industries will come of their
own volition. Thousands of dollars have
been wasted in advertising in worthless
publications and not one single manufac
turer, or one single farmer has been
brought to Astoria during the past five
years. It is time to adopt modern meth
ods and work to build up the natural
