SOME QUESTIONS FOR THE JOURNAL eeeeeeoeoeeoeooaeeeeeeoeoeaaeeoeoeaoeeeo.neoeeeeeajBa Whereas tbe Portland Journal has severely oritioixed tbe action of the Bine Mountain Orange for passing resolutions at a recent moating rela tive to Primary election Law, Local Option Bill also Portage Railway bill wbiob waa especially critioiz id, Pe- aolntion is in full ea follows : Resolv ed by Bine Mountain Orange No 346 Union Ob , Oregon- That we are op posed to tbe State of Oregon incurring theexpenoeof building the portage railway of (ha Dalles of tba Columbia river lor tba reason that we do not be lieve that the benefit to be derived by aneh building will justify tbe heavy expenditure necessary to build same. In Iict we entertain very grave doubts whether said road will be of any praotioal benefit to the region of eouo try wbiob it is expected to serve We believe that the ahip canal bleb tbe Federal Oovernment pro poses to build is the only means of material improvement in transporta tion faoilitiee for tbe country inter ested in said improvements . Therefore be it fnitbar resolved that we believe that the groat mass ol tba people of the state of Oregon have formed resolutions to aeak relief for themselves through tut Initiative Beferendum amendment to the Con stitution of the State. And wa wish here and now' to serve notion on the member of the Legislature to keep bands off of any measure adopted by tba people by said amendment. And we will view with extreme dis approval of any snch interference. for while tbe people will doubtless make some as is takes in oaercising I his right, they will soon discover tba mistake and oorrect it by tbe process. We desire the Journal to answer the following questions. 1 What will be tbe oost of trans ferring freight from boat to ra lway passing same over portage road and transferring same back to boat againf 2 How nriuch farming land in Ore. is near enough to tbe Columbia River to bo benefited by said Portage roedt And on an average bow far are theee farms from said Columbia River? 8 In view of tbe fact tbat there are branch railroads into almost every inland section to accommodate them already. How far oan farmers afford to haul prr dues and be benefited by eaid portage road? 4 How lar car. produce be bauled by farmera for tbe entiie amount of freight already charged by Railroad from Arlington to Portland? 6 Why did the O R 4 N Oo. abandon a similar Railroad at the same place and oarry freight through direot to Portland if tba Portage road ia to be snob a wonderful benefit to Eastern Oregon. 6 le this tbe same Columbia river along wbioh tbe Railway Co ia trying to gat some kind of grass to grow to keep the sand from drifting over their road bed? Fair and honest criticism is all right but sarcasm don't count. We also indorse tbe action of the State Orange favoring the passage ol a law by tbe legislature confining tbe use of tbe "emergency clause to eases iu wbiob tbe publio peaoe and safety are in dinger.
