WATER WAYS THE

TpHERE IS NOTHINC that
v I fB 10 Europe pjort than the use by the people
' there .of 1 water communication and the com
parative neglect of the same mean of transportation in
fhis .country.' .There, every advantage is'- taken of the
natural channels of trade, and when they do not exist
pt are insufficient for the, commerce no sum is too vast
to be, spent for their betterment or building. Hamburg
is 70 miles from the sea and has to unload and reload
passengers and freight at, Cuxhaven. It is one of the
greatest seaports' in thi world and it has been created
by the expenditure of enormous sums of money.""-From
the. upper .Elbe ''.if ia. said over' 30,000 river- craft .of

; gregating 9,000,000 tons left the, port Glasgow, on the
Clyde rivers once" a "muddy estuary, a somewhat longer
distance from the sea, it ofte-ot the worlds greatest
.1 seaports;- the river is so narrpw. that vessels have to
be launched broadside on. ' '' '...' .,' 4' v
v r Compare these creeks with the mighty Columbia and
: imagine, if you can, the use that would be made of it
if it flowed through Germany or indeed any other coun
try in Europe. AH of which furnisher a text that every
resident of Portland, whether property holder or mer
chant, had better take to heart, for ai sure as water
flows down hill just so sure does Portland's future wel-
fare, growth and greatness depend -on" tht use and de
velopment of its water highways., The Sooner this is
: i realized, the sooner it is acted on, the better, ; , ,
In 1400 miles the Columbia winds' and flows from
the mountains Of British Columbia until it finally pours
into the sea. For hundreds of miles "the Snake river
drains a rich territory until it loses itself in the Columbia.
The Willamette drains the rich valley of the Willamette
;and Joins its greater, sister 00 miles from the -sea. At
the, junction of these rivers sits Portland. Where would
an empire builder locate a city but at this point? .Where
but here should be the great commercial metropolis of
'the northwest? - How have we used, how are we using
'these talents God has .endowed us with? .To what ex
tent are the producers of this interior ' getting the ad
vantages which should follow from water communication
and cheapened transportation?, "".'.. : ; ;
Notwithstanding high, mountain; ranges bar ttieway
;and increase tremendously the cost, of the haul, the pro
: duce from the very banks of these rivers are transported
hundreds of miles further and are marketed pn the sound.

was accused of being a defaulter to the county in a
large amount while serving as county clerk and was
once indicted though on a relatively frivolous charge, but
there was a complaisant county judge and a grafting
district attorney and the matter was considered trivial,
or one to be hushed up. The officials of the G. O. P,
who every two years were saving and redeeming, the
county, had to stand together. They, were in office to
graft; what for else? .They did not quite say- "The pub

It was absolutely neoessary. That I
te say. la insisting upon the natural
ooutour aad lengthening th waist In

but th stout woman took en the effect
which la sometimes described aa "broad

does not Infer that the oorsst of that
bap pushes th figure . out of plase
er brings the woman whe had Juet begun

It merely means that a woman must
learn to stretch her body and stiffen
her muscles.' As th" chest la ralaed

To be proportionate the perfect 108

on th contrary, the figure la closely

The picturesque fashions remain, but
they follow the contour of the figure
th close-fitting Is th demand. In th
skirts th earn .thing - obtain not a

is In vogue, aa It was a few years ago,
but we ape the bell shapes by cultivating
a flare at the feat. The shorter skirts
are the same, but they are slightly

there la no eacap from It Woman Is
