TRADE WITH THE ORIENT
ASTORIA MAKIXG AN EFFORT
GET A SHARE OF IT."
TO
Rcsolntlon Adopted t a "Special
"Meeting f the Council Talk of a
, Combination Against "the River.
ASTOKIA, Or., April SO. At a. special
.meeting the City Council held this
evening, a resolution was passed calling
the attention of the people "or Portland
and Astoria to the urgent necessity for
united action in an effort to secure a
greater portion of the Oriental commerce
lor the Columbia River. Copies or the
resolution wj.1 he sent to the Council and
commercial organisations of Portland and
to Chairrnan Harrlman, of the ttnion,Pa
cific, wlt-a request that they J6ln in the
"work. The resolution is as follows"-1
"Resolved, That we view with alarm the
Inaction of the Union Pacific system In
tha matter "OT providing ships of the
heaviest draft for a line "between the Ori
ent and the mouth of the Columbia, while
The lines most interested In Seattle and
6an Francisco are building: such ships
-with the: greatest speed to catch that
greatest of the world's commerce;
"Resolved, That e fear a railroad
combination has been formed to divert all
the Oriental traffic from nature's high
way along the Columbia water levels, to
the common injury olLAstorla and Port
land, and to the great loss of all the pro
ducers ot, this great basin. We believe,
too, this combination Is based on Port
land's hostility to making Astoria the
seaport, and would fall as soon as that
hostility ended.
"Resolved, That extension of the Union
Pacific system to Astoria, by granting to
this port the common justice of a com
mon point' with Sound ports, would se
cure 4o the Columbia River its rightful
ehare of that Oriental commerce, and
would at the same time, by means of this
first-class cheap-charter port, add mill
ions of dollars annually to the value of
the exports of this basin, to the general
benefit of all the dwellers therein.
"Resolved, That Portland and Astoria
ere mutually Interested in making Astoria
' the seaport of this basin. Astoria can
never be the rival of Portland for her
local trade, as a little reflection will show.
Nature has provided that the Jocal trade
at the former shall be west, and of the
latter ast, of the Coast Range. It so
happens that trade up stream from Port
land would have extra freight and pas
senger expense over a continuous line to
.Astoria, while rival roads to Puget Sound
-would always make Seattle and Tacoma
common points with Portland. In this
way, while the Sound cities, as the centers
of Oriental "imports and exports, tvould
be Portland's rials In the Inland Em
pire, Astoria-could not be such. At the
same time exports at this low-charter
port would add millions of dollars an
smally to the pockets of the Columbian
producers, who would trade in Portland.
Concentrating the Oriental Imports and
exports here would mass the immigra.
Hon of the East on this basin, more to
Portland's growth and increased values
than to Astoria's, and would Insure to
Portland (through her other great suburb,
Oregon City) a prompt control of the
manufacturing trade of the Orient, all
to the end of making Portland the chief
city of the Pacific Coast at the samf time
that Astoria would become, as Nature
designed, the chief seaport of Western
America.
"Resolved, That we submit to the peo
ple of Portland these views of the mu
tuality of Interest between the two cities
In the great harbor at the mouth of the
Columbia, and Invite their attention to a
eerious consideration of the same, and to
the importance of co-operating with As
toria in procuring the Union Pacific sys
tem, according to Its Interests on natural
rounds, to make Astoria commori-point
an all exports of the Columbian basin,
giving. If desired. toEortland a pro-rata
differential, according to distance and ex
pense of construction and maintenance.
"Resolved, That we confidenty rely on
the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad, as
our own railroad, to do all in its power
to aid In securing the needed common
point -on these Just lines.
"Resolved, That all the press of this
basin be and they are hereby Invited to
open their columns to a full discussion of
this great public problem In the common
Interest.
"Resolved, That a copy of these reso
lutions be furnished to the Daily Orego
alan. the Portland Chamber of Commerce,
the Portland Board of Trade, the Common
Council of the City of Portland, and to
Chairman Harrlman, of the Union Pa
cific system."
Hoodoo on the Lightship.
There appears to bo a hoodoo of some
kind on the attempts of Contractor Mc
intosh to take the lightship off the sands
at McKensie Head. Yesterday the tug
"Wallula went around to her and raised
the anchor that was attached to the buoy
on the puter end of the steel cable and
moved it some distance farther Inshore.
Last night tne cable was 19 have been
attached to the lightship, and1 at high
tide this morning the tug "was" to pull the
vessel off. In pulling the cable ashoro
during the night, the rope tied to it broke
and the cable was lost. All the work will
xow have 16 he done over again. This Is
particularly unfortunate, as the tide to
day was unusually high and the sea
smooth.
Grain Warehouse Site.
President Hams, of the Paul Mohr
portage road, spent yesterday in Astoria
looking for a suitable location for ware
houses to handle the grain that his com
pany expects to bring down the river.
He was taken around the harbor In a
small steamer, and also along the Wash
ington shore. The property that .appeared
to him to be the most desirable was the
water frontage near Tongue Point, owned
Hiy President Hammond, of the Astoria &
Columbia River Railroad. It Is under
stood that this property has been offered
tfor sale or lease under very favorable con
ditions. Good Run of Fish.
The run of fish during the past few
days has been exceptlonallj good for this
early In the -season, and the fish appear
to be general throughout the river, and
not In pockets, as Is the rule with tho
early runs. It Is estimated that every
cannery has as much canned now as at
June 1 last year. It was reported here
today that the combine had established
jthe price of tails at $1 50 per dozen, or U
per case, but the officers of that con
cern deny that they have done so. J. W.
;ook, a member of the combine, stated
roaay tnat tne cannerymen of the river
had agreed to fix the price for talis at
$1 5Q per dozen, but he did not know that
It had been made public.

COPPER JfEAR BAKER CITY.
Promising: VIn Found A'lae

Miles
BAKER CITY, April 30. News of what
appears to be a very promising copper find
was brought to this city today. It was
discovered by J. S. Strock, an old pros
pector and mining man, Sunday last on
the west elope of Salmon Creek, near the
Tom Paino mine, about nine miles west
of Baker City. The lode is about 20 feet
wide- and ""carries copper, bearing 30 -per
cent picked samples. It is In a district
that has heretofore been overlooked for
that mineral. Should tho values stay at
par as depth is attained, the strike will
be the greatest ever recorded In Eastern
Oregon. Mr. Strock "will at onco com

must have been of exceptionally good
quality.
The way hopgrowcrs are giving their
attention to the matter of limiting the
production of hops, to the exclusion of
discussion of pooling the 120) crop. Is
taken as an indication that they believe
the price will be regulated by supply and
demand, pool or no pool. The Oregon
Hopgrowers Association has not, how
ever, given up pooling the 1S00 crop. and
definite action to that end will -be taken
later In the season. If the movement to
j limit the production should succeed, the
growers leei assurea inst tne ciuwme
can be successful, for there would then be
no surplus to be held after the demand
had been supplied.

tificate of nomination John W. King,

That there will be other opposition can
didates on the ticket Is assured, however.

ocratic candidate for Sheriff, told the cen
tral committee last Saturday that he will
make the run, even if he is the' only man
on his ticket.

State Authorities Net Permitted
Kill Infected Horses.
PENDLETON. Or., April 23. Deputy
State Veterinarian Thomas Thompson,
whose jurisdiction is Umatilla County, wa3
shown th" letter st-t by Governor Geer
to -the Oregon Congressional delegation on
the subject of mange among range horses,
and stated that the Governor's action
In the premises was very timely, and
would probably be the means of solving
the preplexlng problem which has puz
zled the horsemen of this section of the
country.
Governor Geer, at the instance of Mr.
Thompson, who recently met him. In Port
land" addressed a letter to the Senators
and Representatives from this State in
Washington, saying that the mange dis
ease was present on the Umatilla Indian
reservation In this county; that it was
spreading; that it was causing the in
fection of the horses owned by white peo
ple, and that It had been impossible for the
state- authorities to do anything toward
eradicating It The difficulty under which
the state officials have labored Is that the
Indian agent denies the author.ty of the
State Veternarlan and his deputies to go
upon the reservation and kill the Infected
animals. The position taken by the agent
Is supported by the Federal officials at
Washington, and thus arises the conflict
between the state and Federal Govern
ment, pending the settlement of which,
large numbers of mangy animals roam the
range, and no man's, horse Is safe from
catching the disease.
Mr. Thompson has been the deputy at
this point for several years, and two
years ago caused more than 1000 compara
tively worthless range horsey to be
killed.
"In all the territory of this county, out
ride of the reservation," says Mr. Thomp
son, "the dlssase was almost completely
eliminated, The killing of so many In
fected horses left but comparatively few
who were diseased, and these were, in
many instances, horses of sufficient value
to warrant curative methods. The re
fusal of the Federal authorities to allow
the state to go upon the reservation has
left the disease there practically uncheck
ed. In lieu of the action of the state of
ficials, absolutely nothing has been done,
by the Indian agent; nor the Federal
I Government, ,.

Crook Connty Irrigation.
The long-talked-of scheme of bringing
water from tho Derehutes River out os
what is known as tho "desert" east if
the Deschutes and south of Crooked
River has taken definite shape and will
soon be realized, saj the Prlneville Jour
nal. This will be done by the Oregon
Irrigation Company, of whlph C. C. Hutch
inson is president, T. Edward Pope treas
urer and D. D. Warner (secretary. The
plan embraces the constructing of three
main canals leading from enrcereni pouiia
on the Deschutes east and northeast as far
as Crooked River with a system of lat
eral ditches from these, covering the en
tire desert from the Bear Creek hills
north and bringing" more than 100.000 acres
of good, tillable land under cultivation.
Permanent surveys are now being made
and as soon as these are completed ac
tual construction of the first canal will
begin. The flume where It leaves tho
river will be 35 feet wide and 10 feet deep
and will carry enough water to float the
steam dredger, wWch will be used for
excavating the main canal, except where
it Intersecto rock ledges. It racks noth
ing but water to make It the richest por
tion of Eastern Oregon, and the hemes of
thousands of happy, prosperous settlers.
The soil Is of volcanic or basaltic origin,
rich in the elements necessary to vegeta
ble growth and susceptible of long-con tin
ued cultivation without fertilization. All
.rt: ctt erain and trasses, all vegetables
usually gnwn In this locality and all the
hardier frolts and berries will grow to
perfection. It Js also believed that flax
and sugar bets will thrive, but this yet
remains to be eeen.
Taking it altogether, this enterprise
will be of more real benefit to Crook
County than anything- ever done or pro
posed before. It will double its popula
tion lnsde of three year, bring railroads
within Its borders and stimulate to healthy
growth every other Inouetry.
