"The more I think th matter over the stronger do I become convinced that nothing but good can come from giving Astoria terminal rates equal to those granted th Puget sound cities," ald Drake C. O'Reilly of the Diamond O line, this morning. The Columbia and Willamette rivers are Portland's harbor and I believe that by giving terminal rates to Astoria, a big step will be taken in the light direction for a great er harbor. "Portland is too big a rity to be Injured by Astoria or any other point on the lower river and with the ship ping continuing in growth, it will be only a matter of time when the entire Columbia river will be regarded aa Portland's harbor. In fact that is the way It Is looked upon now, In a good many Instances, for vessels coming into the river contribute to Portland's com merce Irrespective of whether th cargo is discharged or loaded at Portland or some other river point. It means busi ness for Portland and the river. "I feel confident that Portland will always have its deep sea shipping, he cause we have the rlvr, but I can't see that Astoria should he discriminated against by lower rates to the Puget sound ports when we know that the hasl over the mountain route Is much more expensive than down through the canyon of the Columbia river, "I believe that granting of termlnaf rates to Astoria will possibly cheapen trensportation of goods to their final destination and mean greater economy all around, the ultimate result of which will mean indirect benefits to Portland, the ColumblH river basin and the state at larg-e. If vessels have cargoes' for Portland or from Portland the cargo will compensate the vessel for the at- d it i on I distance on the river, but if the business could be handled more - ad vantageously through Astoria, or any otffler point on the river, I don't see why it should not be done. I think the feeling is here that the whole Columbia river is Portland's harbor, and I .believe that we should work and work harmoni ously for a greater river. The opening of the Panama canal Is going to be followed by a tremendous volume of shipping and the Columbia river should have Its share of it. I think we should all be vitally Interested in making' the Columbia river one, of the biggest shlp ping point on th Pacific coast." AT GRAVESIDE FAMILY L EARNS SAD MAN E (Kperl.l to Tb J.nrnal.) Centralis, Wash., April 10. A ro mance was unearthed at the funeral in Portland Mondays of Albert N.

In which It I reported unknown persons hav re corded options on lsrge tracts of valu able timber lands, evidently for the pur pose of raising money on tho options from eastern capitalists.

"It appears that there has recently been filed In Lincoln county an option covering a large tract of timber land.
