Several member of the Second Die trtct Congressional Committee remained in. Portland, following the business meeting of yesterday, and did not re turn to their homes in other sections of ' the state until this morning-. Dr. T. W. Harris, a resident of Eugene and chairman of the committee, was one of these. Dr. Harris Is father of L. T. Harris, Speaker of the House of Repre. etttatlvea at the recent session of the Oregon legislature. Dr. Harris was een by a reporter for The Journal at the Imperial Hotel this morning, and aked the following Question: - : "Whom do yon consider the most likely Republican candidate for the Congressional nomination?" ! want you to understand," said Dr. Harris in reply, "that I speak without personal prejudice or preference in this matter. I do not wish to be understood as favoring any one man; the party 1 Ik. An n wttrtm T will ' give my support, and until that nomina. tlon Is made I am not playing any favon . ltes, but when you ask me who is the most talked of man in this regard, I must reply that it Is Blnger Hermann. He Is the Republican who has beeo placed prominently before the people. Xla Son's Choice Wise. Mr. Harris said he believed the de cision of his son not to enter tha Con gressional race was a wise one. "There is nothing to be gained by d young man giving up his business and entering a congressional campaign, even If he is sure of success. He might spend 10 years at the national capital and at the end of that time would have nothing but honor to show for his la bors. He would come home unfitted for his' former line of work and to And that all of his patron's had been forced to seek assistance elsewhere. "I did not say a word that would In fluence my son In his choice, for 1 thought he could get the nomination 1? he wanted it, and also believed that, had he gotten "the nomination, he wouhj undoubtedly have been elected." Dr. Harris refused to discuss Repub lican possibilities other than to say r number of excellent men had been mentioned.

March 13 -Aatorlans claim to be not perturbed by the report that another townslte is to be surveyed across the river, and that the Northern Pacific Railway Company will build down the north shore to establish a seaport In competition with this town. That they have not failed to notice the reports, however, Is evinced by the giv ing of extensive Information upon the subject, when It was broached to them In the form of a query. "Do you people believe that the North ern Pacific Company intends to build down the north shore from Its Kalama connection, and make a new town at the mouth of the river T" "No," was the reply of a citizen who has to do exclusively with shipping In terests, but who asked that his name be withheld upon condition that he would talk for The Journal. "The Northern Pacific will not build down the north shore to any point opposite Astoria. And no new town will be built there. As to Knappton. "For instance," continued he, "take Knappton, where report has said that the Northern Pacific proposes to build a town. It has no harbor of consequence. There only small schooners may an chor, schooners and barkentines, and even for them there Is not room for turn ing around. The water Is shallow and the harbor Is narrow and not deep In land. "In fact, there Is no place above Point Ellis that Is not open to the severe sou' westers, which are the prevailing storms here. You must understand that the sou' westers are the storms that make trou ble for shipping here In the Columbia River harbors, when any trouble is made at all. The nor'westers are not severe. They seldom occur, and when they do they are not of a character to cause any worry to ship captains. ';lt Is the sou'wester that makes the skipper look for danger while anchored anywhere In the mouth pf the river dis trict, and the sou'wester does no dam age to ships that are In our South Side harbor. We are protected by the hills that lie back of the city, and the sou' wester may rage never so wildly without the least trouble to the vessels that are In this port. The river Is seven miles wide here, and when a storm rages a heavy sea Is whipped up. It often makes havoc across the river on the Washington side,' havoc that never is wrought to shipping here. And, because there is no Shipping of consequence over there, th havoo even there is not sig nificant, since there is little with which to play havoo. Honored Tears Basking For Astoria. "Astoria has just 100 years of backing and experience, and time has demon strated that here must be the seaport of Eregon. During the past century, since ewl and Clark came down the river nd the Astor expeditions arrived, all shipping Interest have been on this side of the river, and they will remain on this side so long, as men sail ships and the Columbia River Is used by them. "By the way," said the Astorian, with a qulzxical expression on his face, "we people down here believe that the Co lumbia River will never attain its full shipping possibilities until Portland con cedes the Astoria contention that Port land must use this as the real seaport, and cease attempting to haul ships 100 mile! up the river, with all of the at tendant expense and delay. We can dem onstrate by mathematical processes, too, that these claims are true, and that, un less Portland comes to our way of think ing, Puget Sound will forge ahead, and distance us. "Portland would dose only the trifling ship Chandlery business, and as com pensation would gain In Increased ad vantage over the Sound In this respect expense and time would be saved by bringing the interior products down here for loading on ships, and the gain would be so great that the Sound could not possibly overcome the advantage. You people up there will have to understand that, and until you do, affairs on the Co lumbia River will never attain their potential greatness, and our rivals will beat us out in the race for commerce. "There la no antagonism between As torla and Portland,- If only we would be sensible. Our interests are common. Our fate Is woven, measured and cut by the same Parcae. and only when we two cities get to take a common view or these matters (and Astoria gets com mon point terminal rates, too), will we ! have established the first primary prin ciple of commercial economics as applied to this state and this great river. San Tranolsco's Experience. Another Astorian, listening to the fore going, ventured this remark: "I am not so sure that shipping could not be accommodated on the other side of the river, so far as the sou'westers are concerned. San Francisco1 has obvl- j atea sucn a aimcuuy. in pans oi ner great harbor winds sweep savagely Into the anchored ships, and yet, on account of a system of mooring, no troubles oc cur. There they have mooring anchors out in the harbor, and, when a bad wind sweeps In, they let out the bow anchor chains, draw the vessel from the wharf, attach the mooring lines to her stern, and hold her there, fastened fore and aft, until the wind subsides. "1 am not certain that some time a town will not grow up on the other side, and there may be something in the re port of the Intentions of the Northern Pacific Company. At any rate, I wish the report would not get around over the country so persistently, and make It necessary ror us an oi ine ume 10 ai- lege that we are not worried about the possible competition that such a scheme would entail.''

Orav-halred and ntnnnari fmm hi. rt years' sojourn on this terrestrial ball, H. D. Winters stood before Judge Hogue this morning and was fined $10 for dump ing garbage In a lot. Only his silvery locks and an eloquent appeal by his at torney, John Manning, saved him from a Jail sentence. He paid his fine and left the court room. Winters Is a wealthy property owner, the Winters Building being among his possessions. He has been arrested previ ously for the offense he was charged with and was fined J6. That seemed not to be sufficient, and when he appeared this morning his fine was doubled. When Judge Hogue mentioned send- APRIL DELINEATOR on sale at 4tK-st. entrance In answer to hun dreds of inquiries we will state that we hope in a few days to make a definite announcement as to date of reopening' of our stores.

They won their suits and caused this aged defendant to place a 115.000 mortgage on his property. It's an outrage and now for this court to Bend him to 'Jail Is too severe. I sub mit that this man's age ought to cause the court to have some sympathy." Then Judge Hogue talked the matter over and finally let the defendant go with a 10 fine and his promise to obey the city ordinances.
