INTRODUCTION
GENERAL REVIEW
Astoria and Clatsop County are rich in historic interest and importance. Early events occurring here had far reach- ing effects, eventually resulting in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest becoming a part of the United States instead of the possession of a foreign power.
Urged on by the desire to find a fabled "Northwest Pas- sage" by water across the North American continent, Span- ish and British explorers had sailed along the Oregon and Washington coastline, but the Columbia River was not dis- covered until 1792, when Captain Robert Gray of Boston entered the river and named it after his ship, the "Colum- bia."
In 1804, President Jefferson appointed Captains Meri- weather Lewis and William Clarke to head an expedition across the western plains and mountains to the Pacific Ocean. Lewis and Clarke explored the Lower Columbia region and spent the winter of 1805-1806 at Fort Clatsop, near Astoria.
Fort Clatsop the 1805-06 headquarters of Lewis & Clarke near Astoria was rebuilt in its exact replica in 1955 and is one of the finest tourist attractions on the Pacific Coast today. Located four miles south of Astoria on U.S. No. 101 the fort was rebuilt on the exact spot of the original fort.
In 1810, John Jacob Astor of New York organized the Pacific Fur Company to engage in the fur trade on the Columbia River. This company sent the ship "Tonquin" by sea and another party overland, the two to meet at the mouth of the Columbia River. The men in the "Tonquin" arrived at their destination in March, 1811, and built Fort Astoria, the first permanent American settlement on the Pacific Coast. After many hardships and loss of lives the overland party arrived in the winter of 1811. Due to the War of 1812 and the loss of relief ships, the fort passed into the possession of the British, but was restored to the American flag in 1818.
During the following decades Astoria was the goal of traders, explorers, missionaries and pioneer settlers, and on the shores of the Columbia are the last resting places of many of these early intrepid adventurers. These historic events are illustrated on the pictorial frieze surrounding the main portion of the Astor Column, a concrete monolith 125 feet high, located on Coxcomb Hill, overlooking a scenic pan- orama of mountains, ocean and rivers. This unique monu- ment is the only one of its kind in the United States and attracts thousands of visitors annually.
Astoria today is a modern city of about 14,000 population, the commercial, financial and shipping center of the Lower Columbia River district of Northwestern Oregon and South- western Washington. Most of the Astoria business district was rebuilt following a disastrous fire in 1922 and its stores and office buildings are a credit to a city of its size.
Astoria is the headquarters of the Columbia River fish- ing industry and along its waterfront are many plants en- gaged in canning, curing and freezing fish. Here is the largest flour mill in Oregon. Other manufactured products
13
INTRODUCTION
are butter, ice cream, powdered milk, lumber, veneer, fish oils and meal and a number of specialty products. Many of these plants are open to visitors.
Astoria's school system is housed in modern, well- equipped buildings. The principal church denominations, leading fraternal organizations, patriotic societies and serv- ice clubs are represented in the city's social life. The finest turf athletic field in the state and other playgrounds provide facilities for many outdoor sports. Water sports enthusiasts find ideal conditions for motor boats and sail boats. The Astoria Salmon Derby is the outstanding sports contest of the Pacific Coast.
At Astoria is located the huge Tongue Point Naval Base, the only regular Navy base in the State of Oregon. It is the home of the Columbia River Group, Pacific Reserve Fleet. A large, permanent base for the Reserve Fleet, U. S. Mari- time Commission is also located at Astoria. At these two in- stallations are many vessels which can be re-activated on extremely short notice, in the event of a National Emergency.
Astoria is located at the confluence of the Columbia River and Youngs Bay, about ten miles from the mouth of the river. The city is at the junction of three transconti- nental motor routes-U. S. Highway No. 30, starting on the Atlantic Coast and ending at Astoria; U. S. Highway No. 101, paralleling the Pacific Ocean from Mexico to Canada, and U. S. Highway No. 26 from Nebraska to Astoria. Other modern improved highways lead from Astoria into the farming and timber districts of the city's trade area. Passenger stage lines operate on all main highway routes. Railroad service is pro- vided by the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railroad Com- pany, owned jointly by the Great Northern and Northern Pacific.
At the larger waterfront docks ocean liners load for ports around the world. Fast, frequent ferry service across the Columbia River connects the highway systems of Oregon and Washington.
Astoria's hotels, restaurants, garages and a modern re- tail shopping district furnish a complete, satisfactory service to the traveling public.
Basic Industrial Resources
Astoria is the headquarters of the Columbia River fish- ing industry. Plants located in or near Astoria produce canned, frozen and cured salmon, fish meal and oil with an estimated value of $30,000,000 annually. A newly developed industry, steadily growing in economic importance, is the tuna fishing and packing industry. White meat albacore tuna are caught by deep-sea trollers beyond the mouth of the Co- lumbia River in the Pacific Ocean, and the majority of salmon canneries have facilities for tuna canning also. Pil- chards, used for fish meal and oil, are taken with purse seines by boats operating in the Pacific Ocean beyond the three-mile limit. About two thousand boats of various sizes and types are engaged in the Columbia River fishing indus- try.

INTRODUCTION
Timber, several varieties, all growing to immense size, forms the basin of a large logging and lumbering industry in Clatsop County. Fir, hemlock, spruce and cedar grow thickly on the slopes of the Coast Range. The logs are hauled by train or motor truck to tidal streams, then towed to Co- lumbia River sawmills. There they are made into every kind of lumber or converted to other wood products, such as veneer, plywood, shingles, pulp and paper, eventually going to markets all over the world.
Agriculture-highly specialized, producing top quality, high value crops-is concentrated mostly along the Columbia River and its tributaries and in coastal river valleys. The principal dairy farms are stocked with herds of high produc- ing agricultural activity. Dairying is favored by a long period of green pasture, large yields of root and forage crops.
Other important agricultural products are eggs, poultry, bent grass seed, cranberries, bulbs and vegetables. Fresh garden peas are shipped by carloads to eastern markets, where their exceptional quality brings high prices.
Climate
The geographical location of Astoria produces a mild, equable climate, spring-like during most of the year. There are no extremes of heat or cold. Temperatures below freez- ing are usually of only a few days' duration and there are no summer "heat waves" or drought periods. The average frostless growing season is nearly ten months. The mean maximum temperature in December is 43. The average an- nual rainfall is about 76 inches, most of which falls between November 1st and March 31st.
Recreational Attractions
Astoria is at the center of a beach resort recreational area along the Oregon and Washington coasts north and south of the Columbia River. The clatsop beaches offer the vacationist and tourist unequaled opportunity for rest and recreation. Southward from the Columbia River for thirty miles reach the smooth, surfwashed sands of the beaches.
Along this stretch of interesting ocean front are located the resort communities of Seaside, Gearhart and Cannon Beach. There are accommodations to satisfy any individual desire or fit any expense budget-modern hotels, comfort- able cottages, auto courts or camping sites. The restaurants and markets offer all kinds of fresh sea food and garden vegetables.
Many interesting and historic tourist attractions are to be found in and near Astoria, including the famous Astor Column, Fort Clatsop, Fort Astoria, Fort Stevens, the wreck of the Peter Iredale. Saddle Mountain State Park, Bradley State Park, Ecola Park, plus many other attractions for the tourist.
The Astoria Chamber of Commerce maintains an infor- mation service for tourists and others interested in Astoria and Clatsop County. Booklets, maps and other material are available free to inquirers.

INTRODUCTION
SEASIDE
The City of Seaside is located on Clatsop Beach at the junction of the Necanikum and Wahanna Rivers, 85 miles west of Portland via the Sunset Highway. It is the terminus of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway. Seaside is the most important beach resort in the Pacific Northwest on the Pacific Ocean. Seaside has a permanent population of 3,870 (1950 census) with as high as 20,000 during the summer months.
GEARHART
A Post Office on the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Rail- way; 15 miles southwest of Astoria, and 3 miles from Seaside. Gearhart has a population of 565.
WARRENTON
The City of Warrenton, with a population of 2,000, is lo- cated in the northwest section of Clatsop County. The city was incorporated in 1899 and operates under the City Man- ager plan of government. The Skipanon River, a navigable stream, is used by ocean going vessels for the transportation of lumber and by local fishing fleets. This stream being lo- cated through the industrial district and directly connected to the Columbia insures a fishing industry and sea-going commerce to all industries requiring it. There is a complete grade and high school system as well as adequate churches. Railway freight transportation is by the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway.
