Oron'i delegation at Wsshtngtqn
was apprised yesterdsy by telegraph
tfjat It would be wll to ihak a special
. defense of Portland's rtghU la th ma
, ttr -of furnishing army supplle (or th
department of the Columbia and Alaska.
; After a conference between committees
from the city's commercial organlaa-
, tlons a telegram was .sent to each con'
cressman 'and senator, urging that the
new quartermaster-general should
prevented from transferring bis Colum
bla basa-of supplies to San .Francisco,
" as bas been attempted by biro.
The committee , session was lengthy
ana took up in question tnorougmy.
The chamber of commerce was ' repre-"
sented by J. N. Teal, attorney ror tn
' transportation committee, ami W. H.
Olafke, f, member of the 'trustees. S.
A1. tJDencer ' represented the Commercial
. club. T. K. Beach attended for the board
of trade, and K. J. xiolmea was there In
the Interest of the - Manufacturers' as
; srtclatlon. ' The following telegram was
dispatched to Senator Kulton, Benator
bourne. Congressmen Ellis and 1 law ley
; - , . Bolegatlom Advised. '
"Reoorted hers that all supplies here
tofore purchased through local quarter
'July 1 and auch bualnees then for Pa
elf lc coast requirements be supplied only
tnrouga quartermasters Department in
San ranclscd. On behalf of combined
commercial Interests of i Oregon our
delegation should protest axaiuat and
f revent injustice of such action. Port
and la as well, and in some respects
better, equipped ss any city on the coaat
tO aupply all seeds. 4 Baaed on reports
being authentic, both publlo ana news
.papers feel that our Interests ars- not
.' properly safegusrded and Portland is
' being x slighted. Please investigate and
wire facta to chamber of commerce."
7 The question of concentration of army
supply base for the pacific coast Is an
old one, snoVhaa been tnresnea out do
fore. It always results in a victory for
Portland because this city is tne iog
. leal center of production of the bulk of
oommlssary supplies. It seems that
every time there is a Change Of admin
1st ration in the quartermaster-general's
department the anme old attempt Is
mads to depriva this city of the trade
that belongs to it oy ngni or natural
'advantage. - . .- "
It la at Portland that nearly all the
Steady supplies both In manufactured
products and agricultural products or
Iginate or are received In bulk from
.points of origination inland, and it la
tiers where rail and water transporta
tion meets that there Is always the best
market In which to buy the quartermas
ter's supplies for the department of the
Columbia. ' : ' . -
