"Mr. Editor: Wlhy does the Portland Oregonian ignore the business ad vant age of every place in Oregon outside of Portland, and particularly Astoria? . In an editorial of the 14th inst the Ore gonian says a 'crisis is approaching,' referring to the completion of the North Bank road (P- & S.), and asserts that Messrs, Hill and Harriman 'would prefer to drop their freight at the most con venient point at or near Portland,' and continues to the effect that the distance to Puget Sound is not great; and if the channel from Portland to the sea is not kept to a proper depth, etc.. Port land will lose some business. "Why would the business go to the Sound rather than Astoria or other point at the mouth of the Columbia River? "The distance by rail to Astoria is less than to the Sound. From Kalama to Tacoma is nearly twice as far as to Astoria, and to Seattle two and one half times the distance to Astoria. Through Kalama all freight for the Sound country by the North Bank road must pass. From Kalama or Coble to the mouth of the Columbia River the railroad is on a water level while the road from the same place to the Sound is over a steep grade.
