There ia alwa'H another side to th' ledger, there is always a way out, a s compensatory feature, if one will but luck long enough. Just now the Pa cific northweHl fully realizes freight rates are gaainst us; we ualizc that . it will take years to get the same ad vantage we enjoyed in rail transpor tation that we possessed before the war; we realize that in building this new country we have bonded for im provements until taxeH are very high; we realize that labor In the northwest lives better and has more than in an- ' other part of the nation demanding higher compensation than is puid ini)uii re-blrth of lire, like industries elsewhere; we realize Uii.

Hut There is a way out; faere is n wnw to make the Pacific noithwesl not only the Idenl place to live, but also the ideal place to nuika money; there is a way to retain the high standard of living and yet attract new people showing at the same time how they can do better here than elsewhere. Naturo gave us that great asset it is the Pacific ocean. Our products meet tidewater 'at Portland ami Astoria and from there we are on transportation that com petes. Our products should and will have that remarkable advantage ot transportation cost that will spell the difference between profit and los:. By this we mean, when the farmer of the middle states can raise his wheat and ship it by rail to the world market at a profit, our wheat will go by water nt a greater profit; when the middle states producer can only break even on his products when shipped by rail tho products ol' the northwest will show that fine, safe margin of profit which cheap ocean transportation gives. The lime is not yet here, for the mutkets are not yet adjusted.

Then the Pacific northwest will come into I her own, for then the land products of this Rtction will have (hat safe margin ovor interior lands; then will the commerce of America show a balanceo condition and be freer from munip i Illation than ever beforei ' The Pacific ocean traffic has been ! held back by lack of port facilities ! and many other causes, but one b j one they are being eliminated, and! the Evening Olnever repeats without ; the lea.-l fear of contradiction b anyone who will ttudy the quentiot i that the Pacific ocean is OregonV i gi latest as-e(.
