Portland lins long boon looked up
on an the loKlrnl tnarkot for tlio
productH of OroRon. Yet It Is n fact
ttiat It noHT hns nrhloved that pos
Itlon In any of tlio prlnclpnl pro
ductH. Tlio Ixiwor Wlllnmotto Valley
fruit raisers liavo for yearn market
ed prunes and other products undor
Cnllfornln lnliels nnd thru Califor
nia markotB.
ICnBtorn Oregon yo.irly sends two
thirds of Its llvo stock to tlio mar
kets of Omaha, Kimmih City, Denver
and Chicago.
Hood river nnd other fruit contorH
find tholr way to tho world markets
thru other routes than thnt of tlio
city on the Wlllnmctto and Colum
hla. Tlio factB of tho mnttor nro thnt
Portland Is not prepared to ho tho
markot of tho Northwost, except In
n superficial mnnnor.
Portland Is tho retail nnd the Job
bing contor of tho Northwest, and
It hns tlio possibilities, If it has tho
vision of becoming tho groat mnrket
center of this productive region.
Hut to accomplish this Portland
must aid In solving tho great pro
Mom facing thorodurnr of this re
gion; the mnrkotlng of tho live
stock of tho northwest.
Tho peoplo of North Portlnnd
hnvo clearly sot forth what Is noed-
ed to aid In
must hnvo nn outlat to doop water
liors whon slio Is ready
nnd caro for it.
to rocelvo
When tho Port of Portland advo
cates woro seeking tho power to
consolldato with tho Dock Com mis
sion and lssuo moro bonds tho peo
plo of Kastcrn Oregon woro told
that It wob their purposes to provide
niloauato ocean terminals tor tho uso
of tho Block men's products, Why,
then, are tliCHU f.nmu commissioners
rofuslng to dredge tho channel to
tho North Portlnnd yards or to pro
vide for tho sumo In tho moaBUro
thoy aro asking tho legislature to
enact? Tho nowspnpors of Portland
should Inform tholr readers on this
point, for nil Eastern Oregon natur
ally holds all of Portland respons
ible for tho actions of tho comm's-Blnn.
WHAT Till: TUAKI-'IO WIMj 11KAK
Years ago It used to ho tho popu
lar theory that railroad rates woro
based on tho lnppy-go-lucky theory
of, "all tho traffic will bear."
TIiobo good old days aro passed.
Wo now have our rates fixed by
public service commission on a scien
tific basis with tho end In vlow of
providing rates that tho railroads
can boar to do business and mako
an ndoo,itatn Interest on tholr Invest
ment. As tho result of the now system
wo find that tho traffic of Eastern
Oregon to tho const cannot move In
that direction. It cannot hear tlio
rates now In effect.
There Is a real mnrket for tho
hay of Eastern Oregon In tho Wll
lnmotto valley and In tho Tillamook
country. Tho dnlry men thoro want
our tiny but thoy cannot afford to
pay tho prlco at which It must bo
sold over there to return anything
, .. !... ....... A Itin pnaull tlintn
this solution. Thoy , no nny movlng In that direction.
clnlniB of this Important highway
nnd hnvo nctton follow tho promise.
Thoro Is no profit poBslblo from
dolny. Tho Highway program has
readied a point whero thoso roads
not completed must bo forwarded at
nn early dato It thoy aro not to bo
crowded off tho mop by other projects.

lower harbor nren. That Is tho flrnt
grenl essential.
Without such facilities tho stock
mon nnd tho pnekars of tho North
wosl cannot ship Iced moats to tho
Atlantic coast or to tho west const
of South Amorlcn. Without this tho
market for moat products in this re
gion Is limited to tho consuming
public of tlio Northwest nlono.
Unless this outlet Is provldod
stock mon of this region will con

Australia and Now Zealand pnss thru
tlio Pnnainn canal nnd going to tho
Atlantic seaboard nt n lower rnto
than thoy thomsolves can socuro on
tho transcontinental railroads.
Out hero In Enstorn Oregon wo
cannot undorslnnd why this deep
channel was not long ago provided.
Wo do not undorslnnd tho rivalry of
tho real estnto promotors of Port
land, or whoover It Is thnt Is putting
tho obstacles In tho way of tho lo
glcnl dovolopmont of Portland as tho
stock markot of this region.
Whatover tho morlts of tho qunr
rol of tho peoplo of North Portland
with tho Port of Portlnnd commis
sioners, tho only nspecl that Is of In
terest to Eastern Orogon Is tho In
Jury thnt U being douo tho basic In
dustry of this roglon. This Injury Is
directly roflected In Portland's fall
ii ro to realize, hor own ambitious,
for Just so long ns Portland neglects
to provide ndoqunto facilities for tho
dovolopmont of Its stork mnrkot,
just so long will slio loso trndn from
this region that should ami will bo
The railroad rolls still bind this sec
tion to tho Wlllnmotto valley, but
railroad ciows nro being laid off
for lack of business.
That Is what tho railroads claim,
nnd to a degreo tholr stntomont Is
corroct. Hut tho fact Is thoro Is
plenty of business to bo dono, yot It
Is Impossible of accomplishment un
dor tho existing rates.
Aftor n whllo, perhaps, whon busi
ness gets adjusted lo tho present

materials which will stand tho In
creased tariffs, business will flow
