There is a feel ing abroad that something Is wrong ! with Oregon. Of all states on the Pa cific sloj-e Oregon Is the best located and the richest and most diversified In resources. Tet the statistics of trade and commerce show' that Instead of occupying the front rank in develop ment and progress, Oregon is actually losing ground in comparison with "other states. It is a wrong policy to suppress these unpleasant facts, There is no reflection on the state !m- piled In them, but they rather tell a tale of woeful mismanagement and I from January 1 to December 31, 1S39, neglect on the part of someone, some- j as rhown by President Van Dusen, the where high in control and Influence ; total nur ber of steam and sailing ves l:i the state.

One of the most interesting features of the annual report of the president of the Astoria chamber of commerce is the sumn.ary attached of vessels and cargoes which entered or sailed from the Columbia river during the year 1SD9. The first Important fact to be noted In studying these figures Is that they are extracts from records kept by the government at the mouth of the river, are free from manipulation or coloring of any sort, and include vessels of every description, coastwise as well as foreign, and whether bound to or from Astoria, intermediate river ports, or to or from the principal port of Tortland. Another point for con sideration is that this record is for a year of unexampled prosperity and trade expansion, particularly on the Paclilo coast, where not only the efTects of the general business Im provement are visible, but where there have been extraordinary expenditures of money by the government and a rnnrins lmpjtus felt In all lines of HousQviorii is Hard Vorlr without Gold Dust.

Yet In spite of these unusual condl Hons, such a falling off in Columbia river commerce la apparent from con trast with former and less prosperous years that universal concern should be excited throughout Oregon and Imme diate action taken by her business men aim boards of trade to stop further diversion not only of their naturally tributary trade, but for obtaining some j .hare in the unprecedented Increase j shown by the published figures from other sections of the Pacific coast I showing a decrease of 50 vessels and that or foreign. During the year 1S9? the total coastwise vessels enter- log the Columbia river was 405 and their aggregate tonnage 379,036, while in 1S98 the coastwise entries were 511 vemels of 40,760 tons; a decline of 106 coastwise vessels or 101,724 tons In 1899. In 1W9 coastwise vessels to the num- ber of 356 cleared the Columbia river, ihelr tonnage being 371,560, when In 1S9s tne number of such clearances was 438 vessels and 465,716 tons; the decrease for lb9 b-lng 102 vessels and 94.1M tons. Finally, summarizing these various forms of decline, we find, first, the j showing of a total loss in both coast j wise and foreign clearances in 1899 I amounting to 138 vessels and 182,705 I tons. Second, .a falling off In both foreign and coastwise vessels entering the liver of 136 vessels, aggregating l-j5,8jS tons; and, third, we have the appalling exhibit of a grand total net decline in Columbia river deep sea commerce of all kinds, foreign and coastwise, Inward and outward bound, during the single year of 1899 the b&st year ever known at other Pacific coast ports of 294 vessels and 348,003 tons! Can there be any doubt In Oregon that in the light of these figures there is cause for alarm, and that the time when there must be united action on the part of her people in defense of the state's commercial Interests has come?
