Twenty years ago It u Mid that

In on city Instead ot twin, divided be
twen two, that on city would have

alarmed at multiplying evidence of the
transfer of Oriental commerce from
the Columbia river to Puat sound. . In
a recent article It warned Portland that
forces were In operation which might
"make Portland a way station on the
P. Ic. A N. and concentrate all the
Oriental -traffic at Seattle."
With a tone of airy confidence, which
may be real or' may be affected, the
Oregon Inn ridicules) the alarm of the
Astorlan. Portland," It says, "will
endeavor to) confound the machinations
of her foes, and continue to do bust
neaa at the old stand on the banka of
the Willamette."
Of course Portland will oontlnue to
do business at the old stand. It will
always be a wealthy commercial cltv.
just m Philadelphia and St. Louig are
cttlea of vast wealth and enormous
trade and manufacturing resources.
None the lent, the fact stands out that
Philadelphia, which had twice the pop
ulation at the close of the revolution
that New York possessed, was long ago
outclassed ly New York; and that Chi
cago, which was a oountry town when
St. Louis was a smart metropolis, pass-
St. Louis more than twenty year ago,
It would profit Portland If she might
exchange "! of hr oontwlt fur a
fresh stock of enterprise, But nothing
short of overwhelming defeat In the
race for the oommerclal supremacy of
the Pacific Northwest will beat that
knowledge Into ths heads of the avr

INOICNl'ITY OP ANTS.
These Instance Herm to Show That
They Itaaon,
Itaumer, In hla L'lllstoir d-s In
sects, says that Cardinal Floury told
him that he saw ants on on occasion
build a bridge of earth acroM some
bird Unit which had t-nn spread on a
tree; on another occasion the Cardinal

an orange tub. Thry used wood In th
construction of this bridge, tbua show
ing that they wert a are of th nature
of the material nea-sary to make their
bridge a sucoess; also, that tin y pos
sessed no small engineering skill.
HUH more wonderful la the account
by lr. Kllrndurf, who writes that he
saw snts bridge a saucer of water with
a straw. He bad placed the Uga of a
cupboard In saucers of water, thua, for
a few riaya preventing the ravage of
the ant. Finally, however, tiny again

bad as ever. On examination, he
f.xi ill straw In ont of th saucers
which Is obliquely across the edge
of the veaaul and touched the l'g of
the cupboard; th aunts were using th
straw for a bridge.
'I now pushed th straw about an
imh away from th cupboard leg,'
writes Dr. Kllendorf, "and Immediate
ly a terrible confuiljin arose, In a mo
mont the leg Immediately over th wn-
tor wa covered with hundrwda of ants

board th fvarful mlsfortun that bad

"Meanwhll th newcomers continued
to run along th straw, and not finding
the leg of th cupboard, the greatest
p-rpirxlty aroa. They hurried arouna
the edg of th sauoer, and soon found
out whert th fault lay. With united
forces they quickly pulfcd and pushed

contact with th leg of the cupboard.
