Portland jnaeea has done quite its share, but it must expect always to ; ii do- rather more -than its share for' it can act more guickly arid effectively in any movement than' the rest ' . . of the state, can. Portland has raised and cxpende much money1 that beneiited inot ilieiralone , but o earts of the state, notably in dredging the lower Colum 4 tis channel; .and it is Portland . principally that must ' pay for the drydockv W But Portland must keep on taking tne lead, and ex pending money and making investments for the benefit not only of itself bat of other sections ot tne state and even of regions, outside the state but tributary to this city. Not only Oregon as a state must "fly with'.her own wings," but Portland Ifiust "especially do so, and .'..'.(. must principallyi supply the states wings. ' " In the matter of extended and , additional railroads V could, not and should not Portland do more than it has done to build them or force their construction py otners: There is a great amount of capital in Portland that might be diverted in this direction, and rt seems that there would.be small risk in employing it in this way, in cer : tain cases. Up1 in southeastern and central Oregon they I aay: Why doesn't Portland look after this region, and secure the vast volume bf trade thst in future will develop here, instead ,of letting it slip away to San Francisco? ' And so in other regions, people are asking: Why does ' Portland only kick at the railroads for doing nothing, . ; instead of forcing the issue by doing what it clamors H for itself, or making uch a move in that direction as will force . the big railroads to get busy in those regions? .1 w.

ARMERS aa well as manufacturers and commer-. ctal bodies are beginning to realize the damage being done to almost all classes of people by the narrow and shortsighted policy of congress, and especially of the stand-pat senate,' in the matter of ex tending trade with foreign nations through arrangements ' for commercial reciprocity. The country is confronted with the embarrassing fact that practically all the coun- ' ( tries of continental Europe are arrayed against the' . United States with hostile tariffs that are designed to : exclude and will to a great extent exclude the products Vf ouf 'soil and factories from their markets.
