O OOOOOO 0 000000000 DAIRY INTERESTS PRE EMINENT. The colonial rates on all the trans continental systems of the country for west-bound tourists and home seekers, from St Paul and the Middle West, will go into effect, for this point, on March 1st, and remain in force until the 30th day of April; and among the hundreds who will have heard of Astoria and Clatsop there will be scores anxious to head in here and take note of what we have to offer the man searching for a new home. These men should be informed of the immense dairying advantages in this territory; and the section should be heralded broadcast and these peo ple be met with facts and figures and specimens indicative of the value of this industry. The output of the dairiyng interests in and about As toria last year ranged from $175,000 to $200,000, and it is only in its in fancy; a few short years ago it was of no appreciable value, and there are still thousands of acres of excellent pasture and dairy lands yet dormant and only waiting the arrival of the . newcomer. Up Knappa way, the citizens are talking seriously of organizing a local horticultural society, a grange, or similar institution, and if this idea was prosecuted all around the county it would be of immense value to everybody. The markets hereabout are not nearly supplied with home-grown fruits and vegetables and dairy pro ducts, and these things should be made a far cry and a loud one;, one that will reach these west-bound people and move them to investigate what this county has to show them along these lines. Cauliflower, let tuce, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, are all imported here now while much better produce can be raised right here; and indeed is served upon the home-tables of the farmers who in dulge in home-truck of the kind. The organization of the farmers, dairymen, gardners and fruitmen, and a united effort on their part to invite and hold these coming inquirers, will ber of redundant benefit to them and their business; and on Sunday morn ing next there will issue from this office the latest, and we believe, the best, general write-up of these special lines of investment, ever seen here about It would be an invaluable source of information to supply to the oncoming host on the railway trains and river steamers and would save an infinite amount of trouble to those who desire to get this informa tion first hand and exact into the hands of the west-bound tourists. We mention this, not so much because of any business interest we have in the sale of these "Home-Seekers' and In vestors' Astorians," but on account of its aptitude to the emergency and its careful compilation along these ex press lines of information. At all events, the opportunity should not be lost to secure our share of these interested, and inter esting, people, and whatsoever plan may be adopted or whatsoever litera ture shall be placed in these hanas in this behalf, there is no time to lose in the gathering of it and ascertaining how best it shall be delivered to them. Some one ought to meet them and see that they are cordially in vited and honestly informed about the city and county; and then if we shall fail to get them or some per centage of them, we will not have to reproach ourselves with having neg-' SCANDINAVIAN-AMERICAN ' SAVINGS BANK HAS MONEY TO LOAN ON GOOD SECURITY lected the chance to seek the seekers and make them welcome and satisfied. THOSE WHO KNOW. It is said that Astoria is soon to have a special visit from President Francis E. Clark, of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway Com pany, with his full staff of officials. The trip is to be made hither with a view of seeing the city, and meeting the people, and ascertaining some salutary facts and figures ancnt the port and the country tributary to it. We are glad of it; we hope these gentlemen will be handsomely treated and made to feel that Astoria has a more than friendly interest in the road and its parent system and for those who have the great trust in hand; and further,, that she has so large a hope in the future develop ment of the road and its business, that she, is entitled to a bit of en couragement in the premise. We want to hear from Prseident Clark and his colleagues of those things that lie next and nearest our com merce, and if they cannot tell us in so many words just what is to be expected they may cast a faint, yet recognizable, hint, of the good that is to come. We have felt the isolation of our position very keenly and we know we have much to offer; and while we are not asking to be nursed and dandled and coddled, we do want to be treat ed as if we were on the map of Ore gon and the line of the Hill roads; we want to aid them and be part and parcel of the history they are to create, no matter whether our destiny hitches" up with the "S. P. & S." now, or in several years to come; we want to feel that we are not over looked and crowded out, and for gotten; but that we are in touch with this great enterprise and are to be allowed to contribute in some timely, tangible and compensating fashion.

BIRTHPLACE OF LINCOLN, A FARM OF 110 ACRES, BOUGHT AT AUCTION, DONATED TO THE ASSOCIATION. ; In behalf of the above object, as rhahnan of the Lincoln Farm Asse rtion Committee, I wish to place be (ore your organization, as well as every citizen in this community, an opportunity to subscribe as individu als or as an organization toward the development of the Lincoln Memorial National Park. Though over 1000 of the leading daily papers and the ma jority of the prominent magazines of this country have contributed space in their respective publications, giving this matter in detail, yet perhaps few in comparison know what the Lincoln Memorial Park or the history is in its connection. The subscription sheets sent to each organization very fully explain, but for the benefit of indi viduals who may wish to become honorary members and therefore would not see the sheet before sub scribing, we will make an outline of the matter and a more fully under standing on personal interview. We will say at this point, that our work as a committee is done through pa triotism, not a cent in it for us. Our organization, the Grand Army of the Republic, was asked to take up the work here and as old soldiers of the war of the rebellion, whose dis charges bear the signature of Ln coin, remembering his services to his country, we have cheerfully accepted the task. The birthplace of Lincoln, a farm of 110 acres, located about 50 miles from Louisville, Kentucky, was sold at public auction in August, 1905 All but one of the bidders represented interests to exploit it for private gain. This one bidder who has witheld his name overbid the others and became the possessor. By his suggestion an association was formed known as the Lincoln Farm Association. This property was then donated to the As sociation with the understanding that the property should be forever a standing monument to the memory of Lincoln, and dedicated as the Lin coln Memorial National Park. Free to all at all times.' It was thought more fitting as Lincoln was raised up from the people, to perform his work that the people should be asked to donate toward the necessary improve ments to be made. Therefore, to every organization or individual subscrib ing from 25 cents or more, becomes a member of this Association, with out any further assessments of any kind. You get a certificate of mem bership, your name or that of your organization will be forever on record in the Memorial Hall, one of the buildings to be erected on the grounds. Should you only give 25 cents, you will be just as worthy a member as though it was $10,000. This matter has been endorsed by the President of the United States and hundreds of the leading men of our country. A great many of them active members, as you will see by the board of trustees and other officers. Board of Trustees: Horace Por ter, William Travis Jerome, J. Lloyd Jones, Charles A. Towne, Edward M. Shepherd, Samuel Gompers, William H. Taft, August Belmont, Mark Twain, Lyman J. Gage, Ida M. Tar bel, Norman Hapgood, Joseph H. Choate, Henry Watterson, Cardinal Gibbons, Albert Shaw,' Thomas Has tings, Oscar P. Strauss. President John W. Folk. Treasurer Clarence H. Mackay. Chairman Executive ' Committee- Robert J. Collier. Assistant Treasurer and Manager Fredrick E. Pierce.
