IF PORTLAND OSLT WOULD!
The Telegram says it "cheerfully ad
mits that Astoria has an uniquely val
uable harbor, and that, by loading
there, ships would save considerable
towage bills and perhaps a little time,"
which Is only part of the claim,
amounting to, perhaps, 59 cvnu a tn
gained on wheat values.
The Telegram does not mention that
the GREAT saving would be on iv
dJced ocean charters due to the heav
iest ship tonnage possible at Astoria
and Imjxwsibke at Portland, amounting
to at least f- a ton more of gain to the 1
producers, thus adding millions of do!-1
lars annually to the wealth of this
basin. The Telegram further says: '
"But there are several other advan-'
tages in coming to Portland, obvious'
to everybody except our Astoria
friends.- "Advantag"." to whom?
The WHOLE QUESTION Involved In'
the choice of a seaport for a basin Is!
the -lU-ry. "At which place will thej
blpments be of most advantage to the1
producers?" Where mill the products:
bring most, and which point will best'
control the foreign trade for the bene- j
fit of the dwellers In the basin?
Now, the Astorlan would challenge
the Telegram to point out the superior
benefit to our producers, or to Port
land Itself, as a trading center, of Port- '
land over Astoria as a seaport. The!
Astorlan points out Its claims for As-1
torla aa the port specifically that (1)
It would, by cheapened charters, add 1
at least three million dollars annually.

Portland. Astoria, and of all the Co
lumbian basin In an extraordinary de
gree. The "advantages" of Portland as
the seaport, to whom? we repeat the
question. Will the Telegram point
them out?
The Astorlan denies any gain to any i
body on earth from that status. The
Astorlan asserts hat the present un
natural conditions cause universal
damage and that Astoria, as the port,
would cause universal prosperity Im
mediate proeperixy in every quarter of
the Columbian basin. If the Portland
paper would work in harmony wiih
AMorla. Oregon and all these regions
would Mossom with a developm -nt
hitherto unknown In any section of the
Western Empire.

situation-because her press Is blind.

excuse for division on the question of
establishing law and oredor In the mil
loDlnea now exists.
The ear of IssW was a year of great
world movement In which America, oj
the Dower of Dewey's fleet, was per
mitted to participate in a manner that
gave us a new position among the
power of the earth. Dewey opeden tn
far ist to Amerloa and mad fc.ng
land realize that the Pacific U the new
eat of empire. Russia also expanded
the Influence of that great empire by
breaking her way . the ocean at Port
Arthur.
" A cannot undo the event of 1SS,"
says Professor Wtwlor. America, must
now have a concern In the future af
fairs of China, which present the
greatest problem of our times. Amer
ica cannot afford to have the future
of China shaped adversely to our com
mercial interests. America 1 a pow
er that must now be reckoned with
in the Orient.
California look across the svs to
China, Japan and Australia. She ex
pect to reap the rtchvet reward of
commerce and wealth from our new
interests In the Pacific. The senti
ments expressed by President Wheeler
will not only be highly gratifying to
people of the Pacific coast, but utey
meet with cordial Indorsement from
the great body of IntWlgvna, patriotic
American of all parties. We are ex
panslonista not Imperialists."
GERMANY IS A GOOD CUSTOMER.
No matter what the governments
n ay do or the politician may say, it
is plainly obvious from the latest sta
tistics of German commerce that the
Germans prefer American-matle goods
to those made in other countries, and
they are determined to have them. Fig
ures Just received at the state depart
n.ent from the German bureau of sta
tistics, through -Vlce-Conaul General
Hanauer at Frankfort", show that Ger
many bought more goods and product
from the United States during ISM
than from any other country, the total
being ?OS.rS5.500. Great Britain, which
formerly stood first among the na
tions from which Germany purchased
goolf now stands second and Kuasia
third.
It Li a significant fact in connection
with this displacement of Great Britain
tha we bought less goods of Germany
than did any o;her nation, our total
iirrhase for the year amounting to
onl $T!-,ll.vu. It must also be borne
in mind that this marked Increase in
our sales to Germany was affected In
the face of the constant agrarian agi
tation for more stringent inspection of
ocr food product and for restrictive
embargoes upon our meats.
That Germany is certain to become
our most profitable customer, next to
Great r.rltain, is Indicated by the
dearth of tnw materials In that coun
try (iermany is dependent upon the
outside world for raw materials for
her manufactures as well as for a
(ood portion of her food products. At
the present time many branches of
Industry In Germany can work onlyj

raw materials. The rolling mill are
unable to get enough pig Iron to keep
them going, although they have large
central is given by the government for
its railroad stations and rolling stock,
as well as from private corporations
and electric railways.
The United States leads the world
in the class of materials which Is now
In greatest demand in Germany, and
the increasing tendency of the Ger
mans to buy them here Is a guiranty
of the maintenance of the most friend
ly relations between the two govern
ments.

should have reached here nearly a

Is being paid on her. The ship Valky

TRESIDFNT WHEELER AN EX
PANSIONIST. "We must stand behind the president
like men and Ilka Americans" Is the
ringing utterances of a Cleveland dem
ocrat who places country above party
Professor Benjamin Ide Wheeler, the
new prenldent of the Unlventlty of Cal
ifornia. Professor Wheeler Is not an "imperi
alist;" he Is an expansionist. In an
interview while stopping In Chicago on
his way to assume his duties at the
head of the greatest state university
on the Pacific coast he declared that
our policy In the Philippines Is not In
spired by a dream of empire, but
" "America Is a missionary carrying out
side her borders the gospel of freedom
and law." We may divide In our opin
