SOI NAIL DRIVING
Proceuo That Hive Contributed
to Despoil the Columbia.
SEATTIE'SSUCCESSFULTACTICS
Nam in Which Columbia Valley Com
mere Km Been Diverted to the
Sound How Portland Stood by
nd Tacitly Aided Looteri.
After the passing of the land grant
allowed in aid of the building of the
Northern Pacific railroad to Pugct Sound
certain partiea labored for, und obtain'
ed, a change in the bill, so at to make
line via the Cowlitz.
The road- wa then built between
Portland ami the Sound and instantly
began tapping the business of the CV
luinbla river valley, and decreasing it
shipping.
When the Klondike field were firt
discovered, Portland realized that her
"hipping Alaka-ward wa entirely par
alyzed, and Seattle, by reason of the
railroad development attained an in-
Mant and tihenomlnal growth. Hie
building of the Northern Pacific, by way
of the Cowlitz, did not prevent it
building the original line directly aero
the mountain from Spokane and It wa
oori completed, through trains patting
from the coast, anil through to the
Sound without coming down the Colum
bia. And the line down the Columbia
lilt not yet Iwn built, and Seattle
quietly laugh at the disappointment of
thoxe who thought tha the Sound would
be cut off by the Cowlitz nmd. If there
luiil la-en no railroad Ix-tween Portland
and Pugct Sound when gold was found
in Alaska, the Columbia river would,
loihiy. have Ihcii doing a fine ocean
buinea with the northern territory.
This wnt the first nail driven into the
collin of the Columbia river commerce.
The Cowlitz road ha recently reduced
the freight rate upon merchandise
Ixuind from Portland to Alaska, by one
half, thu effectually thwarting the
ree.-nt effort of Portland to put on a
steamship line to Alaska. A consum
mation ably enhanced by T. B, Wilcox
,8ml others, who personally declared
that ail shipments from Portland, might,
and would be, easily made from Hound
points, and that the necessity of a
steamship line theme was unnecessary
and immaterial. .
Seattle was startled, at first, by the
announcements of the reduction In
Alaskan freights, but she now realizes
its wonderful advantage to her shipping
to the far north, Thee things, together
with the great system of trolley linen
thrown into tlio Willamette valley, and
other projected, and the Columbia open
ed thforjgli, and above, the Cascades, af
ford the interior merchant and buyer
an easy opportunity to ship directly In
to laka, via the Sound ports, at special
and incomwtitive rates. This was the
second nail driven by the conflicting in
terests, Into what should have been.
splendid and growing commercial factor
in the lower Columbia river country.
But, it is on the card that a new
turn will be taken before long, that may
redeem the situation for this end of the
great valley.

Bow to Break Up a Cold.
It may be a urprie to many to learn
that a severe cold can be completely
broken up in one or two days' time.
The first symptoms of a cold are a dry,
loud cough, a profuse watery discharge
irom toe nose, and a thing, white coat
ing on the tongue. When Chamberlain's
cough remedy i taken every hour on
the fiiwt appearance of these symptoms,
it counteracts the effect of the cold and
retores the sytem to a healthy condi
