SEVERAL LOCAL GENTLEMEN
ACCOMPANY VISITING GER-
, MAN AGRICULTURIST UPON
A TOUR OF INSPECTION.
II. G. Van Duscn, A, Schcrneckau
and J. II. Whyte, accompanied Mr.
VVicsc, who is in Astoria looking into
the matter of establishing a dairy or
condtMisory business here, out on a
tour of inspection of the dairy lands
south of the city yesterday. The party
left in the morning and did not re
turn until last evening. The trip was
an interesting one, and it enabled Mr.
Wicse to see in a fairly comprehen
sive way just what lands are avail
able for the purposes under consid
eration and also their rich and prolific
character.
First going along the south side of
the Lewis and Clark the party viewed
the fine dairy farms of that regino and
then using the "cut-off" road, they
drove over to the Young'f River
country, reaching there at the base
of the falls. There the farms were
also looked over. At Olney the
party took luncheon and then drove
along the south side of the river down
to the Walluski region. They stopped
at sereral of the farms, and among
others Mrs. Grant's fine country
place. The local members of the
party were highly pleased with all
they aaw, though the scenes are not!
unfamiliar to them, and evidently Mr.
Wiese was also well pleased with his
observations.
For a week or more past Mr.
Whyte has been engaged in ascertain
ing the amount of milk that may
daily be procured from the farms in
the dairy regions contiguous to these
rivers, and he now has the matter
pretty well tabulated. Investigation
show that it will be a comparatively
easy task to secure enough milk to

NIGHT LAST; FULLY INSURED
Samuel Elmore of this city, head
of the firm of S. Elmore & Company,
owners ot a number of canneries
along the Oregon coast, received
word by wire, yesterday, from the
master of the Gerald C, one of the
companys' tenders, lying in the mouth
of the Siuslaw, of the complete de
struction by fire, on Wednesday night
last, of the company's cannery there
together with all the equipment, and
the big lot of stores and supplies
landed there by the Gerald C. De
tails as to cause and loss are lacking,
at this writing, but Mr. Elmore said
yesterday that if the fire swept things
as indicated in the dispatch, it will
approximate $15,000; and is fully cov
ered by insurance.
The Gerald C. is expected home at
his life. He says the session at Dallas
was literally immense in the nnmbcrs
attending, and that the generous
courtesy and hospitality of the Tex-

lion. John Minto, of Salem, who is
summering on the Clatsop Plains,
was in the city yesterday on pleasure
and business combined. In the course
of 'conversation with' an Astorian re
porter, "Uncle" John led up to, and
laid especial stress upon, the doctrine
of 'Astoria' standing steadfastly by
the Columbia river, as the "city's
best commercial friend"; that As
toria must do all she may to clear,
clean, deepen and utilize it; that in
all his 60-odd years of experience, he
had. never seen so much silt in the
Columbia- as is apparent this season,
and he believes it is due, in a meas
ure to obstructive fish devices, wheels,
traps, etc.; that gill-netting is the
only safe and open course to pur
sue in the fisheries and that unless he
harmful, disturbing systems are ut
terly banished from the river the sal
mon industry must die a quick and
logical death. He says Astoria must,
jwith all her neighboring . towns, go
.after a complete system pf dredging
and never let up until it is in full
blast, and then see to it, . that it

the plan, too, and some of them are
entering in upon it in an enthusias
tic manner, v
The project of establishing a con
densory seems to be taking shape in
a fairly satisfactory manner. Mr.
Wiese, who, as has been told before,
is a German; and it is understood that
he is thoroughly versed in all matters
pertaining to the production and
handling of milk. The plan is to cap
italize the project, securing mostly
local capital, and to have Mr. Wiese
at the head of the concern. It has
been suggested, also, that he may en
deavor to establish a school, or some
sort of classes, for the study of agri
cultural and dairy matters. The Ore
gon Agricultural College at Corvallis
is now magnificently fitted out for in
struction in such studies, but it is
possible that Mr. Wiese might find
fsome field for such work here.
In the Willamette valley the exper
ience with condensories has proven
highly satisfactory. This city is
looked upon as being an ideal loca
tion for one. 1
Mr. Wiese also talks of endeavor
ing to colonize some of the lands in
Clatsop county. He says he might
be able to interest quite a number of
men trom his own home region
Lands here may be secured at almost
any price, from $100 an acre down to
a few dollars per acre, and with the
right kind of men going in on these
lands there, is no doubt that much
could be accomplished. If some of
the Germans wish to come here every
encouragement will be ottered them.
