FOSTER, "Chief Knglncrr." is now available to Astoria and now it is up to Astorians to go after it. We can now get grain shipped here at the same rate as Portland, but what are we going to do with the grain when we get it ? Grain is only one item. There are a hundred others almost as important. We have got to have elevators, etc., to handle these things. Getting the rate won't build up Astoria. We Must Have More Capital and More People If you own property suitable for buildings of any kind, water front, ware houses, business blocks or hotels TIT IT IN OUR HAND and let us get after these people who want to come in and invest their money. We want to see Astoria go ahead, but to do so we must offer outsiders with capital some inducement to come here. Other coast cities are doing it and their progress shows for itself. ' Some say, "wait, it will come." and we have waited for years and nothing of importance has come. Now we must go after it, and that is what we are anxious to do, but we need yur help. Put a reasonable price on your property and come and list it with us at once, and then Watch Us Make Astoria row one No O&rii Company REAL ESTATE, INVESTMENTS. 495 Commercial Street, Near 11th- ASTORIA, OREGON.
