Nature has indicated the cheapest and most feasible route to the sea from all the inland empire. Jt follows the course of the river. To lift the , products enormous ost'over.three niountaina to land; them on the sound, which is tha presentjmefhodt seemed : nothing short "of a commercial crime. It was flying in the face of nature -and doing violence at, the same time to prudent business methods which - should govern all enterprises great and amalL The natural route for the Northero Pacific - was dowio the Columbia. The; south aide of the. river; being occupied, the north side, which f in any evcht was the natural route for that enterprise, was left for the Northern Pacific. It Vas- now decided o ;bccupy,it It begins with no halfway measures.

It paysout for them. xin real money something like a .mil- , lion dollars. In reaching the city it, proposes a great bridge f across .the Columbia and still another bridge across the Willamette to reach its own terminal TThat business is meant is manifest from- the fact that' the work of construction has already beguiu t i U ' 7 Jt would be' idle to say .that the Northern Pacific will ' not be welcomed into this territory.' Here is its natural terminus and here it may work, out its destiny."? It is here not elsewhere' that it can move along the line' of least resistance That that fact is fully appreciated is made evident bythay,'in which the company proposes "-toxothe into Portland, which "shows the estimate placed jipoa this latest move by the company's farseeing officials. THE TWO REAL REASONS. HE MORNING MQSSBACK may allege many reasons for" its, 'distress of mind over The Joiir nar;Durihel?ubTrctght1yTecogniies Only two, and as they fully cover the case they will suffice. The ' first of these is that-The Journal has achieved a perma - rent success, and the ' second is that jn doing so. the "Oregonian has lost very much of the prestige that used to. attach to ft. At one time? what it said was law. As -it controlled the only daily newspapers printed in Pprt- land, and as it was known it would ruthlessly use its -ad vanUgeft-very- few men- dared 4a-run-countef - t-it.-WhetL people .have Jong suffered . under such conditions and suddenly -fiiid relief there, is a natural revulsion" !n ' the' other direction. Once -The Journal was recognized as established there was "a great accession to the num ber of people Who became perfectly fndiffereht td the Oregonian, Indeed so far was it carried by the majority of the public that nothing was needed but to discover ""TVl'iaTThS'TJrego cdntrTry. , , ;Id political affairs this has been particularly' and gallingiy." 1 true: In the election of a year ago 4ast June-the men it raostbitterly fought, were the candidates for district at- tarney and sheriflF, yet both were elected by surprising majorities. The same was true last June in the election for mayor , when the .man the Morning Mossback op posed was elected by a majority which fairly paralyzed 'the wise ones. While all of these candidates were snp f ported by ,Th'e7 Journal . it does not flatter itself that theyjwereeleeted by its aupport.It is perfectly willing to give full, credit td the favor which ,f lowed "to them "from the Oregonian's opposition. ; If the Oregonian had until lately no criticism of The 'Journal 'it .was ; simply because in its purse-proud ar . rogance it was the last in all the community to accept the conviction that The Journal was here to stay. It ,'had many experiences in all the long years of the past. It treated every new. newspaper1 venture with perfect contempt and in the course of time they all died. , So it 'got to believe it was impossible for any other newspaper . - 'to- get a foothold. When .at last it was. realized that -The Journal was a fixture its indignation knew-no- bounds. It suddenly began to notice The Journal. "om ' ; abuse it began to, imitate its methods. It bought a' press ge4ha-raJ news.Xhat foslt moncyolJhjjmegbanlgal -stuff with' which the Associated Press burdens the wires at small expense to the individual newspaper. It found ' its circulation falling in many directions.
