PORTLAND'S GOOD WILL TRAIN
. To the citizens of Poitltihd w ho make up the "Good Will''
train, The OlMeiver is sure that it tart offer warm, friendly
greeting's of the entire Ln Grande Community. Realizing, as
we do throughout the year, that Portland always bears us
a most sincere good will, we feel gratified, nevertheless, that
her citizens feel the urge to carry the message to us person
ally on this occasion. We are glad to have them With us,
glad that they have taken a day-light opportunity to view
this, THE CITY of Eastern Oregon.
It is unnecessary, we are sure, to point out to our visitors

the Ol-egon commonwealth is a conimon goal. It is unneces
sary, We say, because business men of Portland unappreciative
of thab fact could not find accommodation on a train tour
ing their home city's extensive territory, seeking better ac
quaintance with it and closer friendships for Portland.
It is Unnecessary for anyone serving as a guide on the
morning's tour to point out that the lumber payrolls of La
Grande, that the cl-ops of the valley, that the building and
trade activities of the comniunity are' not only proud pos
sessions of La Grande but, at the same time, proud posses
sions of Portland. Such wealth and prosperity as you find
here is directly contributory to the wealth and prosperity of
your own Oregon metropolis To divert the prosperity of. ,','n"'
Eastern Oregon ito other channels must naturally divert a
. certain measure of prosperity from Portland, To guard and
increase it is to guard and inci'ease that which is partly
your own.
During the morning, for example, you may see one bit'Wm. ivnn n ram

to pay more Oregon taxes and bear a greater share of the
existing state burden. You would not only be directly af-!
fected but peiuonnlly grieved nnd disturled if transpoi-tu-tion
activities and payrolls such as a railroad provides were
taken from Portland territory and put abruptly within the
borders of another state.
Such a thing would result if the Snake River route of
the Union Pacific is ever actually constructed. And that
project, therefore, desen'es the attention and serious study
in all its aspects of the thinking citizens of Portland. The
effect on taxable valuations in Oregon, the effect on Port
land's port Volume, on Portland's retail trade, the advantage
to Paget Sound ports These and numerous other considera
tions deserve Portland's attention.
Further than that, it may interest Portland people to
note Hint an alternate route without disadvantages to Ore
gon's welfare has been suggested by Commissioner Corey
a route down the Grande Konde river from Elgin to Lewis
ton, Idaho, a route that would give the same advantage of
shortened distance between northern and southern Idaho,
that would require fur less construction, that would open
inore valuable resources in limber and agricultural lands.
Portland people can investigate that to a good advantage,
if they interest themselves in the question of future rail-
road development. We are sure that they will. We are also
nure that they will thereby gain far more in the way of mate
rial things and in multiplied good will than would other-i
wise be possible from this extensive and happily visional
journey inlo the realm of Portland's "Inland Empire."
