prime Importance to Portland business
Interests.
While such a town would nsver, it le
thought cut any Important figure In
the growth ef Portland, tha develop
ment of the country, along the north
bank - would be ' aura to Increase the
buslnsss of Portland, for all ths north
bank region is closely tributary to thla
city. Every material development of
the Columbia river region cannot 'but
help Portland. While the aotual ship
ment of grain night take- place from a
dock on the lower Columbia, the trans- i
action would find Its way te Portland.
and the Investments following it would
be made, as a rule. In Portland.
The same would be true. It la aald.i
of the packing-house industry, which
Is to be established on the north aids
of the peninsula, with Ita Individual
harbor on Vancouver alough. The
growth of Portland Is. expecTett to cover

progress almost continuously sines last

Without saying ' what ' will be done.
nor how they, will -do it, members of
the transportation committee of - the
Port land- -chamber- of - commerce- have
undertaken to bring about an Improve
ment In service of transportation lines
between Portland and. San Francisco.
The Harrlman eompanlea have failed to
maintain adequate steamship service,
and it la practically Impossible to get
rail shipments through with reasonable
promptness to Portland. '
Meantime, a Harriman steamship line
Is running a fine class of snipe between
Sen Francisco and ths sound and fur
nishing a service that Is diverting trade
business thar Portland ordinarily
Is entitled ta It Is suggested that at
this time, when the Harriman railroads
are suing for favors In the mattsr of
terminals and rights of way at Seattle
It is deemed by them advisable to curry
favor nln every possible way with the
business Intsrssts of the sound, even et
Portland's expense. The situation with
regard to transportation facilities I
tween Portland and San Francisco has
become simply unbearable. It Is said,
snd It la up to Portland to do something
to remedy matters. -'.
There are three things suggestsd: TO
Induce the Southern Paclfio officials to
render an adequate rail service, or for
Portland to secure .- an Independent
steamship Una to operate Mtween the
two cities,, or, as a last resort, to or
gan tae a Portland steamship company
and Inaugurate , a good steamship serv
ice tnat win oa a permanent ana aireat
benefit to the whole coast.
The - committee haa - aoDronrlated a
sum of money to make a thorough pre
liminary investigation of the ovlls com
plained of by the business Interests of
Portland,' and to ascertain their causes
and consider - possible remedies, 1 Thi
matter la being gone Into with delibera
tion and a fore-knowledge that the task
ahead- Is a large one but It Is said not
so largo that the commercial Interests
of Portland cannot devise meanjjn-lf-protectlon.
:.
The committee has not commenced Ita
work with au Idea of hospitality td any
company, and la simply looking at tha
situation from abusineaa standpoint.
Portland commercial Interests are, ; It
Is said, getting decidedly the worst of
present arrangements, and It 'behoovca
them to get these arrangements 1 rad
ically changed for the better. . . ;
Action looking toward the prevention
Of discrimination In favor of Seattle
and against Portland by the Harriman
steamship lines . was taken yestsrday

mittee, which will meet next Monday or
