PORTLAND LACKS SELF-HELP.
Portland prides itself on its wealth,;
on the large number of wealthy citi- j
tens. It Is reported to be one of the f
richest cttles per capita in all the ;
world. But it takes something more
than wealth to Insure a city's future.
If Portland's rich men would get
half the hustle on them for Portland,
that Seattle's citizens, rich and poor,
do for Seattle, Oregon's metropolis
would be so far ahead of the, Sound j
city in five years that there would
be no more rivalry between them than
there was between Chicago and St.
Louis after the census figures of 1SS0
were made public.
Portland wants everything done for
It. Self-help is the tonic needed.
How much larger would Portland
have been, and how much more trade
would the merchants have had. if lo
cal capital had taken the Initiative
for a north shore road to Spokane fif
teen or even tn years ago, instead of
waiting nntil "Jim" Hill had built up
Seattle all he could with "Inland Em
pire" trade and then started to build
the water grade route simply to fore
stall Harriman?
And now Portland is waiting for
Harriman to furnish trade routes to
Central and South Central Oregon,
and Coast Oregon. Waiting for Har
riman, whose every move will be
made with the Interests of San Fran
cisco first in view!
If Portland was a Hve town it would
have had railway connection with
Coos Bay years ago, and would be
even now promoting and backing
with every ounce of energy and no
little money a competing line to Cen
tral and South Central Oregon.
Here's a prediction: San Francisco
will have railway connection by com
paratively easy grades, with the Kla
math country for years, while Port
land will still be dependent on the Sis
kiyou mountain climb via the South
ern Pacific.
o
VACATION TIME.
This is vacation time. Everyone
who can get away is making for the
mountains or seaside. A few weeks
later they return with sunburned
nose, a coat of tan and renewed health
and energy.
Everybody is going who can but
still by far the greater number of peo
ple cannot go. The "crowds" , who
throng the resorts are but a handful
to the stay-at-homes.
Pity the stay-at-home. 'Tis not his
fault he isn't at Newport, Seaside,
Long Beach or in the mountains. Some
can not leave important business af
fairs but the most of us simply can
not afford, or we think we can't.
It is safe to say, however, the fel
low who took a vacation will have just
as much money right after Christmas
as the fellow who stayed at home dur
ing the hot weather, and he will be
enjoying his meals better than the
economical man.
So take a vacation, if only in a tent
a mile up or down the river. It will
lo you good.
The Oregon City city council even
thinks vacations will improve the
superlative and has granted her po
licemen vacations.
o
FAVORED PEOPLE IN FAVORED
CLIME.
"Who wouldn't be a Clackamas coun
ty farmer, with his barns crammed
with hay, hay ricks on every available
spot, big fields of wheat and oats gold
en and heavy in their richness, orch
ards breaking with their loads of lus
cious fruit, hop gardens promising
enormous yields, and big prices for
evervthing offered for sale. No won
der Clackamas land is in demand and
nrices are advancing rapidly and
steadily.
And all this prosperity In the most
pleasant climate in the world.
Surely Clackamas husbandmen, and
all her residents for that matter, are
favored people.
o
A Democratic paper at Norfolk, Va,
Bays that "If Mr. Bryan's Commoner
doesn't shut up about free silver and
the platform of '90, folks will get the
Idea that the whole graveyard or dead
issues is to be galvanized into a simu
lation of life to frighten the Democrat
ic children in 1908." A ghost dance
for two years is viewed with alarm by
the long-headed members of the party.
. o
A military band in the Philippines
vh'ch knew only two tunes, "Always
in ti-e Way" and "A Hot Time," has
stirred up plenty of trouble by play
ing the former at a soldier s funeral.
The choice seems difficult, but the
preference cf the boys themselves
ought to have been respected.

After sampling all of the European
climates John I"). Rockefeller has
found tin ideal spot in France where
the air is r-picy with the scent of white
strawberries and tho daily expense bill
can be. offset with a couple of gallons
of crude petroleum.
, o
After a journey of more than six
months the dry dock Dewey has ar
rived at Malta, having been towed
from Baltimore. All is over except
the shouting when Uncle 'Sam sees
the bill.

A flood in a town in contra! New
York filled the streets with carp weigh
ing from 3 to 30 pounds each. This
looks like luck, but some of the citi
zens are mad because they fulled to
get trout'
o
President Roosevelt has given his
personal guaranty as to the wholesome
character of American tinned meats.
Will King Edward do as much for the
bottled jam and chow-chow of Great
Britain?
The monthly contribution of the
street car company toward sprinkling
Main street should be doubled. Its
right of way occupies nearly half the
street and its car raises more dust
than all other traffic combined.
o
New gold discoveries are frequently
announced in Nevada. The midget
state in population Is actively digging
gold and irrigating, and new prospects
have opened before It.

An analytical philosopher argues
that there can be no such thing as a
free railroad pass. The general idea
Is probably correct, and comes at a
consoling moment.

ASTORIA'S DREAMS.
The Clty-by-the-Sea has indulged, for
nearly a century, in dreams of mari
time prestige and success; these vis
ions have been wrought of the real
fabric of honest inspiration. She
once went so far in her idle fancy as
tn hniic- that Pnrthin.l mlfht hp her
friend and contribute to the realiza-
tions she longed for; that the metroiKi

friendliness and aid of this commnnl-
tr. In this latter hope she has signally -
failed. It Is not of the Portland creed

ties that would and should stand by the s
raetropolis. Her cardinal aim has
!,. en to build her own walls from the ;
fragments torn from the bulwarks of .
her weaker sisters of the state; to
rear her own greatness upon the de -
pletion of the outlying posts of com-
meree round about her. We often ,

if her foundations had been laid on j
this peninsula Instead of where they 1
were Implanted, and why they were
not placed here! Well, there is one i
resource left us, time Is of the essence ,
