The eff.vt of making a common Point rate for Astoria would be to change the seaport basis to Astoria with the re sult that cheaper ocean charters for grain ships would add 10 per cent, to the value of wheat in the hands of farmer, besides forcing the bulk of Orl?ntal commerce to Columbia river railway lines. No wh?at is shipped here now. The excessive rite prevails because Astoria Is not a common point. PORTLAND PARTISAN'S VIEW, Pelllerate Falsehoods and Mis-state- ments Given Out. As evidence of what Astoria's enemies consider fair weapons the following In terview is reprinted from the New York Commercial of June 15: CHICAGO. June U (Speclal).-A prominent railroad official said today In r.-gard to the Astoria and Columbia river question: 'The well-known Jeal ousy that exists on the part of the As torUn toward Portland has not at all abated since the completion of the As toria & Columbia River Railway, when it was confidently expected by the citi tens of Astoria that the entire business ef Portland would leave it immediately and be transferred to their city. It Is needless to say that owing to the geo graphical 'ocatlon and radroad facili ties their hopes have been blasted. I can see no good reason for any agitation on this subject. As far as transcontinental rate are concerned Astoria now enjoys a common rate with Portland. Of course, on short hauls local rates have to b? made to cover the 100-mile haul between two points. The great bulk of the exports from Portland are the wheat nnd tlour ship ments to the Orient from the Walla Walla district. "Portland also ship, a great quan tlty of dairy products. Over 9o p"r rent of the outbound shipments from Portland by water are from the terri tory east of it, while all lhat Astoria has to oner In the wsy of Initiative in freights are from the cann'ng indus tries located on the lower Columbia river. "Vessels of deep draught ar? often able to get to Portland, as the Co lumbia river is a large and deep utream. and navigable for ordinary steamers many miles bej-ond Portland; ami while Astoria claims to located on the river the main channel Is quite a dis tance away. 'It might ad well be advocated that Huras. La., be made a port of entry, Instead of New Orleans, for the reason that it Is nearer the oiilf of Mexico As the sole argument that Is advocated in linking Astoria a port of entry and call is that It Is located nearer the mouth of the Columbia river, and is consequently a hundred miles nearer the Pacific oveon than Portland, I am decidedly in favor of letting matters rest as they are at present." The arguments advanced in the above interview are as ridiculous as '.he facts are distorted and untrue. The state ment that the rr',,' channel of the river is quite a distance away from Astoria Is In line with the statement of James J. Hill, that the channel win twelve miles distant from this city. IT S UP TO MR. FULTON. The following communication from an able economic- writer and frequenfc contributor to The Dally News is re printed from yesterday's edition of that paper: ASTORIA. June 20.-(Edltor Dally News) I do not intend to take sides In the struggle between two of Astoria's leading men. As I read Mr. Fulton's letter In last Sunday's Astorian. he did not mean to urge congressional aid to deepen Portland's channel except on the basis of Astoria's being made the sea- port being conceded a common nolnt on export!. The true position for Atc. to liana to take Is that If Astoria be eon ceded a common point then all congres sional aid in deepening or Improving the channel nf the Columbia to Portland will help Astoria, Portland and all In this basin; but that, fo long aa a com. mon point la denied to Astoria, every dillar of public money spnt in the ef fort to dig a canal to Portland for sea. port purposes I double ruin.

I sue gwt adoption by the Chamber of Com. merce committee, of which Mr. Fulton is chairman, of the following resolutions to be presented to the river and harbor committee as expressive of the real sen ttment of all loyal Astorians: Resolved (1). That with Astoria conceded Ihe common Justice of a com mon point on exports whereby the Co- lumnian producer can have the bene. fit of this greatest port in the West, we favor eongressij.ml aid In deepening me cnannei Between Astoria and Por, land to the greatest practicable depth, as a nenent to the ent re basin. "(2). But that, with Astoria refused a comon point on exports and Portland the permanent seaport basin of the Columbia, we heartily oppose all con gresslonal aid for securing a deeper channel. We do so because thereby tn candle or Columbian commerce being burned at both ends. It serves to deprive our producers of millions of dollars of added value In their v.heat aud is a mere waste of mintons of dol lars of public money in a scheme that benefits none and turns the commerce of this btsin to Seattle. "(3). That, with the present seaport status, tne only necessary large appro priations are for the Columbia above The Dalles, whereby the fanners may get the benefit of nature's best seaport ror metr wneat. If the Chamber of Commerce commit tee shall not wish to adopt any resolf. non or tnis character, then let Mr. El more and other avowed loyal Astorians can a mass meeting at the court house and have these resolutions adopted for suomujion to tne visiting committee.
