z PORTLAND AND THE INTERIOR.

:) I of Baker county aa declaring that two prominent
-j, resident of Portland who hav taken an active
i- part In the daretopment league, th Irrtgutloo sovment.
.. and tbe Lewie and Clark (air, had spoken slightingly of
1 eastern Oregon. enuring In eubetanoe that Portland only
" nought to benefit and boom Itself. regard! of the interests
of the Interior parUonof the state. This man went on to
iprees hie aalmoalty toward Portland, and to edvts the
people of Baker county to have ae little to do aa possible
I ; ..w wi. .a m h mirMiv tndanndant af ther Oregon
metropolis, relying wholly on themselves.
It Is oertata that he either misunderstood or wilfully la
quoted the men ho named, for they aa well aa all pro
gressive and up-to-date business men of thl city fully
raallaa that It will grow and proeper only aa the aUto at

and bound wp wtth the development of an the tributary
1 ' region. The business men of thta elty realta thla far mora
clearly and Impreaeirely than they did yean go, and are
acting alone; broader llnoa and with higher purpose. Nor
la thla aplrtt of antipathy toward Portland manifeated to
Interior portions of the state aa It need to bey eapeclally
In eaatern Oregon. Indeed auch an expression aa the
. Baker City paper quotes w now rarely heard. All parte
of Oregon are pulling together for the development of the
; whole atate aa never before. Portland haa stood faithfully
' and energetically for an open river, and without thta. citr
andeavora and potent Influence that great work would yet
'be far from presenting the preoent encouraging prospect.
Portland men reaUae" the great benefit of Irrigation, and
are doing ail they dan to encourage and aid Irrigation
-. project, in brief, tt is generally raallaed that fef the veri-
, -cue pertiona of the atate oan be filled up, and their natural
reeoureoa developed. Portland wUl.take oar of ltaalf. . .
Am for Interior sections Ignoring Portland, In a buslneee
.. way. auch talk Is childish, for hare la. and la to be. the
seaport of the great Columbia baate and the Willamette
valley. Here generally most moot of the surplus products
oaene. And hero will moat of the merchandloe for theee In
terior reglona be procured. Thta will be so aooauaa Port-
, land menv tn order to do buelneoa auoosaafully, muot offer
interior cuatomera advantageoua bargains. There hi little
' or .no sentiment In trade, and Portland will have to make
It advantageoua for Interior merehanta to deal her! ooa
vcrscty the retail merehanta will net aptto theiaeelrea to
: soft Portland. t.-.--.. , .
There oughH to be no antipathy between thla elty and the

occasionally voiced. There should be no occasion for any

VALUABLE ADDITIONAL EXHIBIT
THJD apples displayed at the Hood B4vr fruit fair
will make a very valuable addition to the Oregon
exhibit at St Louie, and the men who aeoured them
for thta purpose are deserving of much commendation. The
Rood river apple are already famed far and wide, but
thla large exhibit, properly displayed and distributed at
Bt. Louis, will certainly do much: to advertise one of Ore
ion's products, and to Interest the beholders In thla state.
The Hood river orchard lets have sufficient occasion to
bo especially proud of their apples, but the state of Oregon
as a whole deetre to share In their success and fain. For
collection of fruit must b credited to
Hood river, we Insist-on remembering that Hood river la
a part af Oregon Perhaps In no other locality oan certain
varieties of apples be produced In greater perfection; In
few can equally valuable apple b raised; yet the possi
bilities of horticulture In Oregon are almost Illimitable, and
only a beginning ta raielng In frutta for distant markets
haa been made. To as this exhibit at Hood river was a
source of pleasure If not of direct profit to aU Orsgeniana,
and Its transference to Bt. Louh) should be a good Invest
ment for, the stats at large. , ;.:'
Oregon to Bt Louis have criticised the
state's exhibit, but with Mr, Ladd'a first prise stock, with
such apple as the,' and other' product that have been
sent, and with Oregon wheat flowing by millions of bushels
Into Chicago and other eaatern cities, tt will be atnrage If
the attention of thouaanda of people la hot directed toward
Oregon to auch an extent that they will com to spy out
thla goodly land for themselves. Indeed, many are already
coming, but their number should be several times multi

P.'S NATURAL ROUTE.

loaded with wheat, being moved easily down the
' Columbia river' route by one locomotive, and
then considers how much power tt would tab to move that
train up the eastern slope of the Cascade mountains by the
Northern Pacific or Oreet Northern route, one can but
realise the great advantage of thla downhill route, and of
Portland'a position, and wonder why the construction of
the Northern Pacific down the Columbia haa bean so long
deferred. , ' . . t
The wars of railroads are often Inscrutable to the aver
age observer, and there 1 nothing on earth mere unreliable
than the a vera railroad rumor) yet that the Northern
Peolfle will oome Into Portland by line down the Colum
bia river seems to be one of the events of transportation
development that cannot be very much longer delayed. If
seems as If there can be nothing In the railroad game that
could compensate this great railroad for not building thla
Una, More or leea secret airangement as to division of
territory and traffic are not likely permanently to prevent
the building of thla road, and then. It my be hoped, the
O. R. N. will be at liberty to Invade the Clearwater val
of the great inland empire sr tncreaslnir

ther will henceforth be ample room arid opportunity for

Mr. Chamberlain, for Instance, began
by kdvooatlng the abandonmeat tof
Egypt, then favored unlimited occupa
tion; opposed all colonial expansion,
then declared that possessions ovsrssas
formed the principal and most enduring
element of national grandeur; cham
pioned a system or boms rule for Ire
land, then became Ita bitterest opponent;
was a member of the cabinet which
signed the two treetlee assuring ths in
dependence of tbe Transvaal, then waa
associated With the Jameson raid; open

"highly Individualised; incapable and
Indifferent to sympathy; very proud,

contemptuous of other nations and un

Ever since ths world began soms
wive have been the making of their
husbands and some ether wives th ruin
of theirs. Also there have been some
philosophers to see 1a th marriage In
stitution the bigheet good of life and
soms cynics to condemn all marriage.
It la from a different point of view
than thess that Cloudssley Brereton
approaches ths ever new subject hi the
column of th London Time. He haa
convinced himself by what ho considers
to be an Induetlv process that mar
riage la th present day is a serious
handicap to men, and hs draws ths con
clusion that If women don't cease mak
ing It a handicap the bankruptcy ef
marriage and the eoaeequent end of all
thing social Is la immediate sight.
Te begin with, M r Brereton describes
te u "the increasing exigencies of the
modern married women." . That means
the wife la enlarging her demands on
her husband's time, energy and money,
ghe spend too much, because aba wants
to start In Ufa where her parents left
oft and "nothing w know can with
stand the Importunttle of the woman
with a purpose." Then, "evea If hon
est John has been all day between the
shaft, he must be bridled and saddled
fer the evening, and oftea for the after
noon aa well." In cfher words, ho must
go to parties and belle By and by ha
gets pneumonia, "and hia wife's vanity
end selfish nee were largely responsible
for the simple complaint carrying him
off."
It-would eeem aa though that were
the aad of the huabend. Tat Mr. Bre
reton in hi neat eenteno announces:
"But ' the impost that the Benedick ol
today must carry doea not end" there"
We expect to be taken te the nether
world, bat w are wrong. Mr. Brere
ton simply moves onward to the woes ot
husbands la "lower" social olassss. Wa
are shown bow hard it la for the "as
sistant secondary matter or for the

a wife, and how Impossible it la for a
