Oregon and the Columbia twain, toll the
world tlwso facts t Let it b known that
at the mouth of the river business in
competition with the Sound would not
be handicapped with en artificial river
channel to be kept open at great public
expense; that the mouth of the river
would have a great advantage over the
Sound porta by reason of being at the
sea instead of 130 to 180 mile inland,
Why doe the Oregonian attempt to
hide under bush the light of the
state not burning in the limit of Tort
land? Portland' energy in deepening
the river at its non-expense it commend
able If it i not charged indirectly
upon the farmer and business of the
great Columbia Win, but a against
other statee the Oregonian ehould make
known the business advantages of other
sections of Oregon. - From outside com
petition and invasion, defend Oregon
people and business locations first
then improve and enlarge her own so a
to compete with the borne people as
far as she thinks best, without however,
endeavoring to crush the home competl
tor instead of building up her own
facilities,

MTTNICATION. "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. Why could not
