The Portland papers have taken np the fight against discriminating rates for freight to the Pacific points. The city is waging a fight for fairness in thiB proposition. There is an ele ment ot discrimination that exists un der the very noses of Portland pa pers and is as vitally important to the residents of Crook county and other Central Oregon communities as the j freight rates are to rortiand. We have reference to the attitude The first section of the McKenzie Highwsy to be graded will lie the la'j miles in Deschutes county, oe tween Sisters and the lava beds, contract for which has just been let to Siems, Carlson & Co., of Spi.l'.ano, according to reports jelv"d lure.

JHOW ABOUT PORTLAND? The Oregon Journal recently waxed exceeding wroth over the visit of an i, ' , ,,,,, , , t. ,.,,,.,,., ,,,, ,one P,e t0 h"1'1 tn wagon from roll team retracing his steps of those early days when the country was a howling wilderness and peopled by lurking savages. It is the same Ezra, but not the same oxen and wagon, and instead of the wooden yoke those oxen are driv en with harness and inverted horse collars and respond to bits in the mouth. The old man finds some changes In the trail. For Instance, "Trail Crossing" is now bridged where in early days the traveler had to plunge headlong over the rock walls and out again at such an angle that many teams were necessary to pull a single wagon up the rocky slope while men sat on the end of a eastern garment manufacturer's agent who took many hard iron dollars from Portland for lovely gowns and ing sidelong in to the canyon below. But, had as it was. it was the only spot along the canyon for many miles wraps that were not made in Oregon. ,i, ..,., ' t Th. T,noi rfonWerf tho ti.t Vh. 1 1 wllere the traveler could attempt a .. """-" -"- crossing the people who made their moi.ey in Portland would spend it with au out 'slder. This is all as it should be in- From here. Mr. Meeker continued :on to Prineville and thence will con- ? 11 " ? in I THue mns untU he the products. It should lie the program of every buyer to confine his pur chases to those things that are made here at home as far as is possible. But the Journal laid particular stress on the fact that the money made in Portland was going away from that place. How does it square the adver tisements in its own columns, invit ing all the people of the state to take the money made in their various com munities and send or bring it to the city of Portland to spend? These communities have as vital a reason for existence as Portland. Jt Is as hard on them as it Is on Portland to see the money going to the eastern centers. Snake river near where the thriving city of Ontario Is now located. The old trail crosses the Snake river near there and continues along the long level stretch of prairie up to Ameri can falls, where it recrosses the stream and from which it is but a few miles to old Fort Hall, which was in those days the final outpost of civilization. Just what big idea leads Mr. Meek er to again want to drive a pair of oxen across this stretch of country is a mystery to most of us, hut if he enjoys It with the mercury hovering around the 100 mark, that is his af fair, much as we wonder.
