The reporters who announce Mr. Bryan' movement, to the rather in different public have evidently re ceived a hint from some astute demo cratic manager. They no longer retVr to him as "Colonel" Bryan.

The common point asked by Astoria is the extension t this port by th O. R. & N.

If, as the Oregonlan often claims, this concession to Aato-j rla would entitle Portland to a lower' rate than either Astoria or the port of Puget sound in consequence of Port land's 100-mile Inland position Astoria! would have no complaint to make.' Portland and the producers of thej Columbian basin who preferred to do business with Portland would be that! 1 much better off. Astoria makes no claim to the samerateasPortland. She nas no nKni wnaievrr w.lu She is anxious that the business men and producers In Oregon shall have all, advantairNi that Portland" location can possibly offer. But It Is a manifest Injustice to biHh Astoria and the pro ducer of the northwest to force busi ness which might com to Astoria to Seattle and Tacoma by withholding from Astoria the am advantage In railway rates now ertwded to the more distant and Inaccessible porta on Puptft sound. This Is the sum and suhstince of the Astoria contention, and Portland people should be among the flrat t oconeede It Justice. THX TUGF.T SOUND STANDARD FORCED UPON PORTLAND.

Prom nearly all pans of the country, but 1 particularly from the Wet and South, come reports of car acarclty. Some of this congestion seems to be the result of a diversion of traffic or dinarily carried on by water route to the already crowded railroads. The inability of pr-s-nt trannxrta Iton t.icllltles to cop.- with the exIMlim to' situation Is, howver, not condnod the domestic trade line.
