farms of their own.

the Port o f Portland
If you owned a store you could not make a big success unless your busi
ness methods were as modern as your competitors! Unless Oregon develops
her shipping facilities she cannot expect to get her share of the world’s busi
ness. It rests with the citizens of this state whether Oregon shall develop her
wonderful resources and reach out for bigger markets, or remain practically
an inland state.
To become a real port, a 30 foot channel must be dredged in the Columbia
and Willamette Rivers from Portland to the Pacific Ocean. This will enable
farmers, stockmen and lumbermen in the interior of the state to reach the
markets of the world at a lower freight rate and greater profit to themselves.
The taxing and bonding power to make these improvements can be
granted the Port of Portland only by the people of the state. You and every
other citixen will benefit if you, on November second,
