ment would be at once started to re

brought about that unnatural condi

the very trade In which the Oregon Is.
to engage from Seattle could be car-j
ried on much more profitably from thej
mouth of the Columbia river under t
common point rates with the O. R. A

the Oregonlan are aware that Cape
Nome Is much nearer the seaport of
Astoria than okher Seattle and Ta
coraa, and I hat freight and passengers
could be more quickly and cheaply car
ried there from Astoria than from any
Puget sound port. The same fact Is
also true of many other points in Alas

points. All that Is needed to give Ore

all this great coastwise and foreign
