The Evening Telegram, of Portland, is
sponsor fop a aalfy story to the effect
that Mr. Harriman, by way of evenin-up
things down here at the mouth of the
Columbia, with the Hill people, who have
secured the very cream of all sites for
terminal equipment of every sort, will
construct a canal from the lately ac
quired terminal grounds of the Union
Pacific, on Young's Bay, to the Pacific
Ocean on the west, thus making that
system utterly independent of Hill, the
Columbia bar, and all the other possible
features of baffling sort hereabout. The
article reads as though it were written
by some "cub" reporter sent out on a
wild-goose chase for news, rather than
by a trained man with confirmatory
notes from authentic sources at his
command.
We do not know what Mr. Harriman
intends to do with, his several hundreds
of acres of waterfrontage on the south
shore of our south 'bay; but we credit
him with more sense than is derivable
from such a proposition as the one
heralded by the Telegram. The best
birfit safe for anchorage and the passing i
of Bhips in and out of the mouth of the J ft mftke8 one hold one's breath 'to read
canal. This canal was to run thence '0f the Lusttania's huge bulk slitting the
north, parallel with the coast-line, to a1 Atlantic rollers at 28 miles an hour,
point inside Clatsop Spit, and join the aii making the coasts of Europe and
bay-flood miles below where the Union j America within 120 of those same hours.

do with a channel debouching upon the
raw sea for a terminus.
The one thing necessary to make these
terminal grounds available for sea
traffic is the deepening of the Young's
Bay channel, to an adequate depth, to
a point of confluence with the harbor
channels, and it is quite likely that this
is all comprehended in the general
scheme of the company and will develop
in good time. There is an abundance of
time for the conjectural spirit of the
Portland scribes however, as Mr. Harri
man's Oregon projects do not material
ize with any particular "swiftitude."
- PEACE GOES BEGGING.
The Hague Peace Conference has fal
len, futile, and inept, and added its tes
timony to the eternal score of recorded
human savagery .v The dawn of organic
concord has slipped back under the hori
zon of racial greed and will stay there
for another cycle. Blood-lust has always
outbidden blood-love, when the tremen
dous balances have been swung in the
hands of diplomacy, and this will be the
course, forever, because of the irradeca-
ble elements of sreed in the human
heart: greed of power, greed of wealth,
greed of place and prestige and pride.
There is no peace, gave in the abstract;
as a. concrete, elementary attribute
among mankind, it has no existance; it
is repelled, as a menace to the grosser
aims and longings. We want war; no
matter what shape it comes in. We
must have it, to preserve the estimates
and standards of achievement, be it in
society, civic engagement, business, the
professional career, in every field and
phase of human endeavor. Civilization is
not great enough for peace, yet a thou
sand years from now, perhaps, the vast
reversal may be achieved and war be
come the remote exception or the for
gotten medium of arbitrament. The
Xeroic period will be discounted in

through which all limits are to be, even

whelmingly charged with death and des
truction; but we will not press the
fearsome doubt, lest we tie relegated to
that state of uninspired, ignorant, and
hapless desuetude, wherein we have so
often placed our fore-father; and as we
are altogether American we choose to
take the bit in our teeth and "do things,
even if we die wretchedly in the doing
of them. But jut think of a couple of

1 ONE MAN SAID OF THE
it
UpHEBEST BARGAINS I have ever seen in Clothing, Hats, Shoes and Furnishing Goods are to be
I found at the National's Forced Sale." The man who said this was an Astoria manhas lived
1
in Astoria for 18 years and concluded his interesting statement by saying: "If I did not buy now at the
Forced Sale, wearing apparel to last me for a long time to come, I would be blind to my own opportun.
ities." Here is a reasonable proposition: Visit our Forced Sale at your convenience and if you are nov
sufficiently impressed with the values and bargains, tlhat will settle the matter, We know, however, that you
will be so thoroughly surprised at what you will see that no possible argument will alter your determination
to buy here annow and nowhere else.
