TO ASTORIA Wishing to recognize our historic city in its Sesquicentennial year, we dedicate the ZEPHYRUS to Astoria. Our town has grown from a trading post, first settled in 1811, to a prosperous seaport city, known especially for its fishing and lum¬ bering industries and the Tongue Point Naval Base. We are proud to live in the oldest American settlement west of the Rocky Mountains. It seems fitting that the names of our early explorers have lingered on in the names of our schools, our rivers and other landmarks. Captain Robert Gray, who discovered and named the Colum¬ bia River for his own ship,- Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, whose over¬ land expedition and winter encampment here gave us claim to the territory,- and John Jacob Astor, who financed that first fur trading company, were among the first comers. But there have been many others down through the years who have helped in the development of our town. Today we wish to salute not only the early pioneers, but all who have made their homes here, and built our community. The days of gill netting in sailing boats are gone. Astoria has almost forgotten the disastrous fire of 1922 and is talking of a bridge, which we hope will soon be built across the river. As we remember the past, we look forward to an even brighter future for Astoria. The Astor Column, erected by the Great North¬ ern Railroad and the relatives of John Jacob Astor, is a st .king landmark, which depicts the early history 1 r Clatsop County.
