Harts, United States engineers, on the Colum bia river, if given proper attention by the de partment and congress will assure the lair roveraents necessary to make not only the Columbia valley the lead ing line of communication between this coast and the Interior but its mouth the leading port of entry on the Pacific coast The natural superiority of our position was perhaps never better stat ed than In the following extract from Captain Harts' report: "From Alaska on the north, the Cascade range of mountains extends parellel to the Pacific coast a bc.it 100 miles Inland as far south as Pan Francisco bay. This range of mountains offers an almost unbroken barrier to carry communica tion between the coast on the west and the wide, productive regions of Uabo, Eastern Oregon and 'Washington, lying between the Rocky and Cascade moun tain ranges. From the International boundary lire on the north as far south at the Sacramento river, in Cali fornia, t.ie only Important low break In the barrier formed by the Cascade range Is the Columbia river valley. This valley forms the only natural line of communication between the Pac-Iilc coast and the country east of the Cas cade range where there Is not Involved a lift of several thousand feet over the mountains. It thus affords an out let for the products of the Interior. , which outlet will unquestionably be the ; 'line of least resistance.' " GROWTH OF ANGLO-SAXONDOM. New York Tribune. Mr. J. H.

The territorial Increase has beon. In the colonies, from sixteen times to nlnety-elx times the area of the I'nited Klngditm, or from 1000.000 to i;.ono,000 square miles, and this has been made In all parts of the world America, Asia, Africa and Aus tralasia. Comparable with this has been the Increase of population. In IS00 the population of the Rriti empire, outside of the t'nlted Kingdom, was about 1,000,000, only i.000.000 being whit'. In 1W0 the total Is 349,OoVOOO. and l2.0M.00il are white. These figures, of course, vastly surpass those of any othfr European nation. We have said that Rritish colonies, etc., are now ninety-six times the area of Great Britain. Thoje of Germany are only Ave times the area of Germany. True, German colonisation is of recent date. But France has been colonising as long as England, and her colonies today are on ly eighteen times her own ar?a. At the same time that Great Britain has thus been planting great colonics her do mestic imputation has Increased much more rapidly than that of either of her great rivals. The population of the United Kingdom ha increased during the century front 13.000.0ii0 to 41.000. COO. or 173 per cent, white that of Germany has Increased from Jl.OHJ.flOO to 5S.0O0.0OO. or 152 per cent, and that of France from JT.tWO.OOO to J9.00O.0OO. or only 4S per cent. In these figures are shown the tumendous vitality of the British stork and one of the secrets of the unrivalled growth of the British -empire. The other great branch of the Anglo Saxon race, or of '"iglish speaking race, -hos during the s.ime century a growth only a little less Impressive In some respects than that of the British empire, and decidedly more Impressive In other respects. At the beginning of the century the area of the United States and its possessions was some thing les than $;.000 square miles. At successive processes of expansion, that area Is approximately 3.700,400 square miles, in txnh hemispheres and In three of the globe's five lories. The popula tion has in the same space of time in creased from less than (.000.000 to about 90.000.000. the overwhelming majority being, of course, white, and speaking the English language as their native tongue. While the territorial growth of the United States has been therefore less than that of the British empire, the growth In population has been propor tionately much larger. If we should enter Into statistics of Increase In man ufactures, commerce and wealth we should find the United States to have surpassed the British empire and all the rest of the world so far as to be be yond all comparison with them. It Is, Indeed, no mere brag or spread eagle Ism to say that, beginning the nine teenth century as one of the minor coun tries of the world, at the end of the same century Earth's Biggest Country's gut her soul An' risen up Earth's Greatest Nation! These two great powers, then, easily I outrank all others in growth and pres- j mi niignuuae. iney do so. each of them, taken separately. Taken togeth er, in a classification of the world ac cording to languages, they have a most Impressive supremacy. At the begin ning tne kngnsn language was. In of nunDergi one of th, mlnor tongues. It was used by perhaps 21 - 000,000 people, nnd was considerably surpassed by the French, German and Spanish languages, and probably also by the Italian. Today it is the language of about 130,000,000, or of nearly twice as many as any of the others men tioned, German coming next with about 63.000,000. Spanish with 53.0O0.OiM, French with 43,000,000 and Italian with 33, 000,000. Even Russian, which Is scarce ly ranked among :he cultivated lan guages, is not used by as many as Is English, nor Is it at all certain that any one of the various distinct languages used in China and India surpasses Eng lish in the number of Its users. We shall not incur the reproa;h of extravagance, then, if we reckon that the English lan guage is today used by more people than any other langjage in the world. When we consider from what a pmall beginning this fact has been developed in these hundred years, the expectation of a practically universal language within the next century seems by no means overstrained, and when we bear In mind the enormous ethical, social, commercial and political Influence of language the future promise of the English speaking race expands bsyond all measurement.

Senator Fulton Tells What the Rail road Should Do for Oregon. Blue Mountain American. The commerce of th I'acltlc la do tlni'd to be the prise of the centurle. Immediately .ifUr Mr. McKlnley was elected the vcht time, the editor of the American wrote Senator C. V. Ful ton, of Astoria. In reference to the state of Oregon Inaugurating some sys tematic effort to get In line to properly engage n the great commercial gtruggle about to be Inaugurated. After due cvHT.-spondenc which brought out the two following letters, permission was obtain d from Mr. Ful ton to publish hi reply to the le:ter ad dressed to him by the editor of th. piper: Senator Cha. W. Fulton, Astoria. Or. My dear Mr. Fulton: On my arrival hcie November it'. I foun t your two excellent letters, one dated November 10 at'd the other November IS. Allow me to thank you very sincerely for your complimentary reference to my paper and ivysvlf. The opinion of such men In mis rvRard is orth more to me than any money consideration. I am trying to build up a xir;r of charjctti and absolute reliability. I hear that this reputation already h -elnnliig to attach -eneral!y to th I'.Ll'H MOUNTAIN AMKKICAN. I am ceitainly not running it on a money making b:.5ls at present and If I get anything out of It i. the way o repu tation t. shall sutllce as my leward. Going hack to the campaign, however, I still Insist that you are or.e of the poturfi.l fact irs in !itving rdled up the splendid Itrpubllean majority for the "grand oi l par y" in Oregon. TvUv-hitig up i.i the qu-stion ef our trade relations ith th- Orient I find the proposition a large one Indeed: and ene rU-h inav well demand the i.uiture thought of our best buslnenj men and statesmen. As has Nen stated, the commercial freighted with the greatest possibilities that have ev r come to the Pacific coast. As has been stated, the commercial trend of the limes Is a hopeful au.ury of a new and astonishing commercial era for the entire l!u-ltle coast and the great Northwest. There are eoneea It , j the primal condition of this new situa tion teutures whiehOregon cannot afford to ignore In their early inception and thus "fMdle" while her future oppor tunities are destroyed before her very I eyes. The best thinner tell us that the isolated man Is a savage, the trading man Is a civilized man. Just to the derive that any people are commercial are thty intellectual, educated, progres sive and free. Commerce Is the magic wand that transforms everything It touches. He who doea most to promote commerce does most for civilisation. the pages of history confirm tne? statements. old systems are rapidly breaking down, old machines becoming ilsoi'te. ihe present time, this la.-t half of the nwst glorious of all the cen turies has done more to emancipate, to elevate, to educate, and to liberate th body and the brain of the human race than all the centuries from Ves pasian to Victoria. While I clothe the above idea In the words of another, I do so because It is more forceful and happy than my own language would b. The truth remains the same. We are certainly awakening to an age or intellectual and not physi cal contest. One of profit and not one of plunder. One of rivalry and not one of roDnery. Enlarged and enlightened commerce Is to transform the Oriental serf Into a cillxen, the hovel Into a cottage, the prcvince Into a state. Commerce know no church, no creed, no color, no na tionality. It revolutionize everything it touches. Now the lime for which all other things have existed so far as Oregon is concerned has come. Looking Into the future we can see her entering the Held of commercial greatness and winning for herself laurels of a great success. She must not slumber away this oppor tunity Her sons should arouse her and help place her vessels of commerce upon the high seas of the Pacific. They should hasten to put her In touch with th Inexhaustible commerce of the Ori ent and the Philippines. The effort should not he delayed. Already, I have been informed. In fuences are at work and wWI under way calculated to rob her of her birthright. I am not informed as to what Califor nia doing, but Washington Is In a fair way to "step In first after the pool has he-n troubled'' ami get the benefit of the situation, leaving Oregon to take her chunces in the dim and distant fu ture. If I am reliably Informed, Pres ident Jim Hill, of the Great Northern, has. also secured control of the Northern Pacific railroad, and Is hiving ships oi commerce duiii wnose draughts, it Is stated, will not permit them to enter Astoria harbor or any but the (let-pent harbors. Two trans-continental lines under his control and a line of ships which can not enter the mouth of the Columbia, Seattle would appear to be the "City of Destiny" and Puget Sound the future mart of great commercial achievements. The seriousness of the situation now be comes apparent. With Washington on the north with such a leverage and California and San Francisco on the scnth with their trade partially estab lished. Oregon will make but a poor ap pearance in the oncommlng contest. If she does not Intelligently prepare her self for a life and death struggle. You ask that I suggest some plan or method whereby Oregon's work might be Inaugurated. I have thought of this matter considerably and with an earn est desire to suggest something that would be of a lasting benefit to our re markable state. I submit the following merely as a modest suggestion, and bJ ter you have duly considered It, I de sire you to write me and state candidly your opinion of the plan: Let the representative people of Ore gon through their business men. bank ers and statesmen organize, whs' we shall call the "Oregon Oriental Bus' ness League." (A better name may b suggested.) The object of which l"agu to be the advancement of Oregon's in terest in a commercial way In the Orient and the Philippines. Let a fund, say, of ten or fifteen thousand dollars be first raised and permanent offices estab lished at Astoria or Portland. Then let say, two shrewd, experienced, deter mined citizens be selected to visit China, the east coast of Russian Siberia, pass ing through the Chinese empire and es pecially the Yang tse Klang. visit the Philippine Islands, returning by way of the Hawaiian Islands. The mission of these men would be of the highest Importance. 1. e., they should Invet'.lgin carefully and thor oughly the conditions of those countries with a view of ascertaining absolutely where our products could be sold and In what shapo and quantities they should be packed and shipped. They should Inform themselves thor oughly on the resources and products of thoe countries and start the com mercial tide of the exports from those Oriental countries toward Oregon, mak ing Astoria the entry port. This Ig a primary ana necessary step and I sug gest it because I happen to have been Interested In a similar plan In St. Louis In opening up trade relations between that city and th republic of Mexico. This two commercial commissioners to the Orient from Oregon should get some kind of a recognition or commis sion from the president which would be a source of protection as well as giving Uum entree to the otllcer of the gov ernment In foreign countries from bailiff to king." Of course such a move once litaugur uted, there Would grow out of It Innum erable business ramifications which cannot even b suggested here. The spirit of commerce was born with the Anglo-Saxon race. We are the com mercial leader of the world at present and the American should not loss In luster by comparison with his British brother. Liberty and commerce have grown together and come don it to us through the age hand In hand. Tlu powir ot eroiiil initiative In U a a people Is the abiding trait of para mount usefulness. The world Is indebt ed to America for the inventive genius of the aire which ha made our mod ern progress possible. While America has given to the world most of the use ful mechanical Inventions, including the ttlegraph. telephone and various elec trlial appliance. I believe she I yet to ncoMiipllsh greater things as a world factor if she can enter properly upon the solution of this Oriental trade question. I hve come to believe jh.it he who doe most to promote commerce does most for civilisation. I believe this on coming cotile! Is to he one between political systems, and that our free In stitutions are ivst sailed to a progress ive ase and to solve commercial prob lems correctly. I aree with an Illustrious American who recently said that he believed, should Anglo-Saxon prestige be de stroyed. human liberty, the choicest boon of heaven, would perish from the earth. Begging pardon for the length to which this letter ha grown and hoping to hae a reply from you i an early date, I am. faithfully your friend. KbWARP EVERETT YOUNG. Astoria. Oregon, Nov. 1. Mr. KdwarJ Kvi-rett Young, Sumpter. Oregon. My IVar Mr. Young:! have received your very lnt resting letter of the 2.'lh inst. I fully agrv with you on the lm portunce of taking some step to place Oregon a: the front In the commerce of the Orient. I think thai your sug gestion that an organisation be formed and that representatives be s-nt throughout the far East to promote our Interests, a most evilent plan, and I will gladiy co-opera:e In maturing and carrying out any such plan. There Is. however, one feature of our present situation commercially which I wish were more widely understood throughout Oregon. nd partlcuHrly Eastern Oregon, and that Is, the Injury that is being dully and annually Indict ed on our commercial and Industrial growth, by the refusal of our trans portation line to grant common freight rates on our products to tlu scubourd and to the east. By common rates. I mean the same i rates as are enjoyed by P-aitle. Taeoma . and Portland, and every railway point I In the state of Washington. The lm- ' presslon prevails that thl question Is , only of Inter st to Portland and As- toria. and that It Is simply an Issue be. tween thes two place. The truth Is. It Is a matter of-the most vital importance- to the people throughout the state of Oregon and the commerce of the en. tire Columbia basin. You say Jim Hill Is now engaged in constructing large and deep draft vessels, which, you think, cannot enter Astoria harbor. It Is true Mr. Hill Is havine censiructed hlps that will have a draft of over thirty feet, but that policy Is not confined to Mr. Mill and the Great Ncrlhern. It Is the established policy of all transportation lines, the world over, and the harbor, which, from now on, cannot accommodate ves sels of like or greater draft will cease to be a factor In ocean commerce. You art mistaken, however. In assum ing that the harbor of Astoria cannot accommodate such vessels. There Is no ship afloat that cannot enter the mouth of the Columbia rlvir, nor I there building any ship that cannot come Into Astoria, but. of course, such ships cannot go up to Portland. The en:rance to the Columbia is being deepened to a minimum depth of forty feet at low tide, which will give t ordinarily, a depth of from 45 to 4S feet. But ewn now at ordinary high tld 'S. a vese drawing thirty feet or over can enter and anv vessel that can enter San Fran cisco harbor can enter the mouth of the Columbia. This Is a fact which seems not to be generally understood, but Is. nevertheless, a fact. It Is not. however, entirely (though largely) a question of depth of water that mikes a harbor attractive for ship ping. Of course there must be plenty of water, but It Is also Important that ships muy have as little detention as possible. The quicker a ship can dis charge and take on another cargo and got to ea again, the better for the bank acccunt of her owner. Astoria being near the ocean, of course, a ship can more quickly load and get to -a from here. However, this contention about com mon rates is not to be considered from the standpoint of an Astorian or Port landors It Is of minor Interest to the people of the state how It does or shall affect either locally. It Is all Import ant how It affects the commercial and Industrial growth and development of the state. The effect on Astoria is of Interest to her people only, but when conditions which retard her growth retard the growth of the entire state, the cause be comes a matter of wide public concern. It is not common rates on wheat alone that we ask. We demand common rates east on our lumber. Not for Astoria alone, but for every point In the state reached by i railroad where a sawmill is loc'ited, Why? Hlmply because we must com pete with Washington lumber In the eastern markets, and every railroad point In Washington, no difference where situated, is given exactly the same rates east on Its lumber ship ments as a iv enjoyed hy Heattip, Ta coma and Portland. While n Oregon we have to pay a local rate to Portland, In addition, and that, of course, absorbs the profit. If It does not prohibit the traffic absolutely. South Bend, Washington, for Instance, which is situated on Hhoalwater bay, Is In the same timber belt as Astoria, and but a few miles north of this city, yet a cartond of lumber may be shipped east from South Bend for exactly the same price that would he charged to ship from Portland or Seattle, while Astoria must pay a local rate to Port land, In addition. While that Is bad enough, It Is not the worst feature of the situation. The Oregon roads have extended to Eureka, California, exactly the some rates on lumber east, as from i Portland, the railroad absorbing the water rate from rCureka to Portland. Yet when Salem. Astoria, Albany, Eugene or any other town of western Oregon wants to ship a car load of lumber east, she must pay higher freight rates than are charged from any point In California or Wash ington. How can Oregon lumbor mills hope to compete with Washington, under such condition Have not the people of Ore gv.n the right. Indeed Is It WH their duty, to demand that our railway line give u equal rates, under like condi tions, to those enjoyed by our com- pelltors? Exactly the snm rule apple" 1 west bound shipment The farmer or miller desiring to hlp foreign find that If he would ship from the Columbia rlvvr, he cannot get common rate tu that point, that Is, he cannot ship there for the same rate thai he ran ship to T coma or Seattle. He can ship to Port land for the same price, but from there he must take either a seagoing veel and pay towage, detention charge and possibly lighterage, or he must pay local rate from Portland to the mouth of th river In order l get his frelithl for warded to that point. Now If he wants to ship to any point In Washington, he can do so for the same piico charged for sloping to Portland, Seattle or Tarnma. In other words, for on nd the same price you an ship frimi any point reached by a Washington railroad wheat or other product, for foreign shipment, to any seitimrt of Washington, reached by a railroad, whereas. In Oregon for an equal price, w can ship only to Vrt b nd. Is uch a policy calculated to build up our commerce and develop In dustries? Our IVrlland friend n.vrn to tiank that If common rate were extended to Astoria. It would work to Portland's In jury. Such a pulley In Washington ha not reultM Injuriously to Scat He and Taconm. I suppose you have observed that by the census return, Washington Is shown to have a population some thing like a hundred th 'iisand more than orein. Ten yir o we were ahead of Wuslilng'.on. But have you had iS'caslon to com pare the commercial growth of Puget sound ami the Columbia? If not, it will make you weep when you have compared them. In b4. the foreign shipments from Puif't sound ports ag gregated In vulue, ll.Wfi.iy:. and tliomf of the Columbia river were r.;: . In. V, that of the smiiul ports hud In crease I to K4.:,'2.m2. or lo er cent, while that of the Columbia had only advanced to S. 774. or less Own 30 per cent Inert use. I- this slluatl n not (urnL-h foo, for reflection? I ther not something wrong? What la Hie cause of Ore con feeble growth In p 'p ul ttlon and commerce? largely due. In my Judgment, , the illiberal policy pursued by our rallrsi Is. Have not the people of Oregon the right to demand that their il'i. r port be granted rates equally us Ivan lageou those enjoyed by competing ot ts ill Washington? If that Is Hot done, can Oregon hope to become a successful competitor for the oriental trade? If such rates Were gnntrd. the largest vcssclh allout would come to the Colum bia and with such shl we Mould have the cheapest ort on the Pacific. In my Judgment, it Is also Portland's Interest, indeed It Is necesnory to her prosperity, that such rate tw granted Astoria for only by so doing cuo mm meroe be kept In the Columbia river chuunel. This does not mean the cessa tion of river Improvement. Secure all I keep tt.s Jeep u illinie ,1 ponslhl t Portland. Many ships will doubtusi continue to go there, but the deepest draft vessels will stop here. No one doubts but that Portland will continue to be the metriia of Ore gon, Ix-cause the wealth olid Influence of the :ute ure centered there, but she should be uiid continue to bv the me troHii of the entire Northwest, Pres ent conditions and lli-les will not per mit her so to be. I do not suppose any Orrgonlan 1 willing to admit that Oregon has been less favored by nature. Is less wealthy In nutural resource and advantage than Washington. I am not. But It I iieiessury that Oregon shall have equal transportation rates. The North ern Pacific hauls wheat on an up grade from points one hundred to one hundred and llfty mile further from Tacoir.a, than corresiuding point in Oregon are from Portland, on the iiew line of the O. It. & N.. on a down grade, for ex uetly the same prlre. Y t, when this proposition Is first suggested, many ueuple nuturully are r-urprlsod that we irtiould expect ihe O. It. A N. Co. to haul w hem t Astoria for as low a rate as to Portland. They forget that It Is not a question between Astoria and Portland, but between the mouth of the Columbia river, or Ore gon's deeis-st harbir. and the seaport of Washington and California. The question Is. shall the producers of Ore gon profit by their gravity route to the seaboard? Home people sny, "Portland I the natural shipping point for Oregon." cry well, If she has natural advan tages they will protect her, and she need not fear being damaged by equal rates being extended to other points. Her natural advantages will protect her and what we want is. that all Ore gon seaport shall be placed on an equality with all seaport of Washing ton. I think it was the Oregonlan which made the statement the other day that It only cost, on an average, about 100 to tow a vessel in and out and that 70 per cent of that was charged up be tween Astoria and the sea, and only 30 per cent between Artoria and Port land. The O. R. & N. does the towing and It might say It charged up 1(9 per cenl between Astoria and the sea, but that would not make fifteen miles more than 125. It Is folly to make such statements. Every one who gives the subject any thought knows that It must cost more to tow from Astoria to Portland. 110 miles, than from Astoria to the sea, 15 miles. However, I fear you will think I have wnnr'ered far from the subject sugges ted in your letter. Still, I believe my suggestions are germane to the ques tion, and while there are other things to be done and your proposals are on the right line, we must have common rites with Washington to the seaboard and to the East.
