ASTORIA'S BUSINESS ACTIVITY
One of the most notiwable things
about the visit to Astoria this summer
of stranjrs and former residents is the
fact that they almost unanimously ex
press surprise at the activity which
they note in busiues and industrial cir
cles. The statement is made that few
cities in the country of similar size are
so busy as thK
These expressions of opinion can scarce
ly fail to be pleasant to the people of
the city who, perhaps, can not judjw so
clearly of condition as people who are
not constantly here. It, is true that
business in every phase is better in As
joria this summer than it lias been be
fore at the same time of year.
The merchants are enjoying a large
trade, and the factories located here
are running to their full capacity. This

It is to be rejrretted that the enthus
iasm and interest in tennis has so com

which was neld this week in Portland.

In Mr. Wanzer, for the first time in a

irreproachable integrity. From the time
of his association with the rminiclpi

career has been one of enviable distin

he will do well to devote his attention '

Let Me Tell
You Something
Traveler to the East, I have a word for you :
There are through Pullman sleepers, both
Standard and Tourist, going East from the
Coast at frequent intervals. Over two routes
they travel via Rock Island System for a good
share of the distance.
You can go by way of Ogden, Salt Lake and
Colorado, or you can go by way of San Francisco,
Los Angeles and El Paso, and the Rock Island
will land you in Kansas City, St. Louis or Chi
cago. Direct connection in Union Stations at
all three cities for all important points in the
East and South.
Or the traveler via Northern route can take
the Rock Island from Minneapolis and St. Paul
to Chicago.
Rock Island service is the kind that gratifies
best meals oa wheels.
