To the Members of the Committee on River and Harb-ira. of the House of Representatives: Gentlemen: It ia bes?n sail to you through the columns of the Oregoman. and you have doubtless heard the same statements from other sources, that there Is concerted effort on the par: of Astorians to do Injury to Portlanl and the whole Columbia basin. Tou bave been toM that there is a feeling of antagonism to P.artlanJ centering In this city and. In furtherance of that enmity, effort is bins made t J retard Improvements, made at the govern ment's expense, on the Columbia river. Tou have been tolj that it Is not loy alty to the state and to the Northwest, tributary to the Columbia and Willam ette rivers, that prompt the utterances of the sentiments that Portland believes to be hostile to that c'.tys interests. Tnut that it Is a conspiracy on the part of the Astoria & Columbia River Rail tray and "town-lot speculators" wh.w sole purtve is personal gain and the upbuilding of Astoria at the expense of the entire s'ate. Take a map of Oregon. irnilenvn of the commirte. and -nark the region of the vast wheat fiel! of the fertile Co lumbia hasin. Tou rvill notice rhat there Is but on water lev?l route through th Cascade mur.ta;i.- in 1 that i- the gcree of the folutr.bla en route f A.--' tori bay.

Whv1 Because terminal ra-e that tr gran 1 1 ls;c by railroads from eomm.?i p.'in: d liver the araln 'o the wihiar on the i Pound. At Portland there still r-trsai- I (inn hiinrsid miles of river trmsr'Cr'3- ' tion. The price of wheat is rgulatl In Liverpool, at a fixed pricJ -nd- for Its delivery In that market. Th-refor in- wm-r ran i- -""r rreed rate, based on 'he Liverpool I market, mir.us th cost of trnpor:a-' tlnn and the broker's margin of profit. The average difference In the charter i rates to the T'nited Kingdom from Pu get sound and Portland Is from two to three and one-half shillings in fivor of the former ports. This additional cost of transportation means a corres pondingly lower price for all wheat shipped via Portland. The supremacy of Portland as th seaport of Oregon has been maintained through :he efforts of the Union Pacific rallroal. the channel that his b-en dug out by the government for deep ."-a I ships, together w ith the determination t make Portland a comnvn point of deliv ery Instead of to a seaboard harbor, ha-i put millions of dollars Into the !xk ets of the transportation company mag nates, and each dollar has T.en takn unjustly from the farmer. But you are not hre to discuss railroad 'tu-sttorj'. perhaps. Still you ar- herJ to see That appropriations made from the Federal treasury are exon led where the m": good will bo accomplished. Th rha-i-nol of th- Colu nbla river from Astor'a to Portland is sufffclontly d-ep 'n, th reiulrements if riv r mm-pi,r;it! n Th upper rlv -r is In neeij of improve ment and the state is h arrlly in f vir of aoproprlations for this work.

Why .Pd dig mit a n.mn ! for deep .-a ships to C4li:o. . n tli princlple that the ships must go to the grain fields insteal of the grain com ing to the seabiard? Th- railrot-js would thn stop at upper river "s.-a-ports" and where would Poitlarid'. vaunted supremacy be? Wherein, gentlemen of the c mxitti-i;, lies a menace to the vari-de stale !n en deavoring to obtain for the farmer full measure of value for the product ef his toil? The Or'sTonlan has kno.vlnn ly male a mls-tatement when l: jays that "this demand Is that nothing more houM be done for Improvement of the navigation of this great river " If you find that the ,r'-M: ohann-i is Ica.ie. quad 'for river transportation, by all tnwin provi.le for It.

No careful an 1 intelligent raJ-'r of our editorial of May :9 can Justly ay that it a.s an "elaborate and mal g an: attack on the Columbia river." Th ouroose of :his article was to show how the present transportation policy on the river was d-vlinmg and :he t-ade drawn away from that natural gateway :o othr and less natural gate way routes. The Oreg nian's Hierpr tati n. or misrepresentation of our statements and itf sneaking insinuations as to the motive that prompted nir article are in keeping wi-h this narrow guagied policy to which we have refer red.
