Thla la made possime oy me opening of the Columbia River from the Pacific Ocean to polnta above the Celllo locks, which were completed in May. The lighter draft boats are able to bring down the wheat to this port and it can be loaded here on big ocean going vessels much cheaper than the railroads can haul it down. With pos session of the strategic shipping point possessed by Vancouver it would seem that it will be but a short time until thla will be a large shipping center. Especially is this true now that the residents have awakened to the fact that the Columbia River is open and that wheat, lumber and all manner of freight can be handled cheaper than at any other place. .

A Jobbing point is determined by two things; Its means of transporta tion for reaching the greatest amount of territory and the resource of the territory thus to be reached. In early days that great natural highway, the Columbia River, with the vast territory that it served, reaching into Eastern Oregon. Washington, Montana and Idaho, thoroughly established Portland as the distributing center of the North west. In recent year, through the efforts of the railroads to build-up the terri tories north and south of us, the value of the Columbia River route and Its water grade haa been potential rather than actual. In these days of Increased efficiency and economy of effort it is only a question of time when economy of operation must be recognised and will restore the effect of this great natural advantage. The completion of the Celllo Canal, giving us unobstructed water transportation to Lewlston, Idaho, on the Snake River, and the Priest Rapids, on the Upper Columbia, will give ua freight rate that will largely increase Portland's distributive territory. Cltya Trade Zaae Big. Leaving out the question of any fu ture development in this respect, let ua conalder the principal Jobbing terri tories of the Northwest, as defined by the present railroad rates. In order to arrive at an intelligent idea of the comparative value of Jobbing terri toriea, state lines must -be forgotten. Portland, on the border line between the two great statee. Washington and Oregon, has all of Oregon on one side and about one-fourth of Washington on the other as ita immediate terri torv. where freight rate are equal, or where they favor It, as against, any other Jobbing point. The State of Washington might be divided into three natural, or railroad- made. JO D Din (fr territories. no . . , wii. t.inia.

River Interstate bridge, rapidly ap proaching completion, will do much to bring prosperity to .Vancouver. It is expected that the bridge will be ready for traffic not later than October. 1916. and It Is expected that the cost of reaching Portland on streetcars will be reduced to 10 cents. Factory Site Cheaper. With a big bridge like this between two cities, and automobile trucks to handle freight there is a erreat fu ture for manufacturers to produce their goods here, where factory sites are cheap and cost of operation low. to ship their products to Portland for consumption and reshipment. Van couver enjoys the same terminal rates as does Portland, which is a big ad vantage in shipping. Not only has Vancouver a fine har bor for ocean-going vessels, but the main trunk lines of the Spokane, Port land & Seattle, the Great Northern, the Northern Pacific and the O.-W. R. & N. Company pass through this city. Freight service is the beet and there are so many big passenger trains pass ing through here dally that interurban electric line could not give more fre quent trains urne 6, page 846, shows the acreage irrigated In 1909: Waahlnston (much of which is trlb- utary to Portland), acres 34,3.S Oregon (all ot which is tributary to Portland;, acree oSS,l Acreage Included in projects com r Washington, acres Orason. acres pleted: S1..032 3.527.208 What will What will the relative value of as- ol 1 , . i. ects are completed? other interesting Other interesting figures show the extent oi mo ' "w Portland draws its resources. extent of the territory from which In 1913 the receipts of livestock . were as follows: 'Cattle .40.32B'Maho 19.827 . 2,s:l r Montana 6.0.4 . 7,049 Utah S, .6t lHOiMiscellaneou....

Its future as the lumber market of the Northwest and the world is assured. Timber Resource Extensive. Estimates by tne United States For estry Service of the standing timber in the different counties of Oregon and Washington show the following re- UIn8 Seattle's own territory, 105.775, 791,000 feet; in Portland's own terri tory, 607,551.129.000 feet. The converting of this timber Into lumber will call for the building of many miles of railroad and the em ployment of thousands of people. The mineral resources of Oregos have been hardly scratched, and its tremendous water powers await de velopment. .... This diversity of resources In Its territory, its inland waterways and its accessibility to the ocean make Port land the logical Jobbing center of the Northwest.
