In the 10 years from' 1894 to 1904 there were 1614 more mileajof railroad builMn Washington than in Oregon al though this state has one third more area. Of the 416 . mile built daring that time (including-yard tracks and ; sidings) , with the exception of a very few miles,; the whole is represented by roads built by capital pther'than - that of the railroad system which dominates- Oregon.

They have done so in opening the river to the extent of building a port ' age, railroad, even though 'they have met with some dif ficulties which our own people have interposed. But .they must not weary, in well doing.- Now is the accepted time for the northwest and particularly for the northwest .tributary to Portland. This city should become the greatest metropolis of the Pacific coast; it.has back of it more resources than any other city can boast and the natural outlet, is here.
