Out Fact That Opening 'of
Canal Is City's Big Chance
- - Portland, Or,. July 80. I ehould Judge
tfrom the general tone of your paper
that you welcome the opinion of your
readers, although this may not be true
tof a stranger in your state,' but who,
; nevertheless, in Interested In its prog
ress and development and "whoexpects
i to make It his home.
" I came to the Pacific coast expecting
to find a country rich in all the re
sources necessary ; to make a crowing
commerce, urosperous communities ami
ness" of It "has shattered my Ideas. The
wonderful resources are great, your
masses of timber are wonclerfuj, your
-great-fisheries r surprising and great
. acres . of land yet . to come under tho
low. to-ether with, your minerals
ishogld make It tho .ireftjte.st state on
tire western coast. -
Importance of Canal.
The primary thing that brought
me to the coast was the opening of the
Panama canal,, which Is not very far
distant, To my mind this is the great
est single thing that has happened for
your welfare and Is of immeasurable
benefit to you. The cities of the east-
. ern seaboard and Interior are equipping
their harbors, rivers, canals and rail
facilities for the new -trade tha Pan-
. ama canal will open to them on the
Pacific coast. .
The state of New York is spending
- llOO.OOO.OOO-on the Erie canal to make
it suitable for a 10,000 ton barge; the
Allegheney and Monongahela rivers are
being slack watered to allow barge serv
ice Into their upper reaches; the Mis
sissippi valley has again awakeced to
the value of water traffic, and every
where Is 4he same activity.
Increase la Shipping.
, Pacific-coast seaports are likewise
making extensive preparations for this
increased shipping and for the rising
trade with the orient and South Amer
ica, as well fi.a for the intertrade with
ha. Attnntl. innt Anrf Knrnne
The geographical condition of the Pa
cific northwest demands immediate ac
tion of a broad and intelligent charac
ter that we may secure the benefit of
this traffic at the logical point, so that
we can nave ireism rules ujuau uh
the basis of a gravity haul.
At the present time Portland is at the
maivu . a Puiritl nnunrl onrl mnrlr vntl
well, not only Portland, but the en
tire 260,000 square miles of the Co
lumbia river" basin. Why? Because Port
land Is not a seaport of cither first,
second or f hlrd class. Absolutely no
xther reason, chartfvi-s, water level haul
withstanding. Portland's fresh water
harbor with a SO foot channel to the
aea, would not cheapen freight rates to
and from anywhere, nor will it bring
the business or traffic to your wharves.
Therefore. Puget sound, even though
I she is tho terminus of a mountain haul,
will get the traffic and keep it.
J, Where Ships Will Oo.
!, The big ships of the Pacific today,
as well as thv larger, shins that will
ply the waters of the Padflp.when the
canal opens, can - go to Seattle as well
as the smaller ships, with less danger
and expense.
Tne tact or me numnr is, xne snip as
a deep sea carrier, pure and simple,
.bh n a i r A InlanilnI Inland Itnr T n
length, further than absolutely neces
sary and the shipowner deprecates ev
ery mile inland of such traffic as a
menace to his property: every railroad
building toward the seaboard Is unfin
ished till Its rails touch the docks at
salt water, the meeting place of the
car and ship,, the common line between
" land and sea.
In this artificial transportation sit
uation, which the people do not seem to
understand, Portland s cowardly attl-.lude-cheats
herself, wrongs the state
and retards the growth of the Colum
bia basin.
Within the Jurisdiction of the state of
Oregon Is the power lo give to the
farmer, merchant and manufacturer, the
people in general, the benefits of ratea
based on the water level haul, thereby
brlnclnr to the Columella river "and
Portland this vast tonnage and give to
this city the backing she needs and
must have. . '
This is essential for the upbuilding of
industrial- establishments, without
whlch .no city can be secure, and you
have begun to feel the effects already,
what will It be In five years from now.
How to Hold Business.
! Portland, to hold her business, make
the lower Columbia the great manu
facturing. Importing and exporting cen
ter of the Pacific northwest and her
self the mistress of the great basin,

must open to the commerce of the world
her great harbor at the mouth of the
Columbia, where the big ship can trans
fer her freight to the steel barge that
can carry from 8000 to 20,000 tons up
the broad bosom of the Columbia, This
Is the day of the big ship and they 41c
getting larger.
It Is not shipping that makes Ham
burg, as some seem to think, It is her
factories, canals and rivers; Cuxhaven
is the port of Hamburg, her sea ship
ping lg lightered and distributed by
Hamburg distributing houses. Portland
must be the distributing center of the
northwest. Philadelphia is not a great
city because she has extensive shipping;
factories make Philadelphia. Portland I
position Is Ideal for factories.
Blast Do Something,
"Portland must dp something more
than speculate in real estate, gather In
terest and sell apple tracts" to sus
tain Portland values and Portland pros
perity; ehe is gradually losing her ship
ping; the oriental lines will in all prob
ability not come back, but Portland can
command the trade of the interior and
of the sea if she will, gain the approval
of the farmer and put her manufactur
ing on a sure footing by opening net
lower harbor through using her influ
ence to give to Astoria the common
point rate. ' If she does npt do this,
she will lose what-prestige she has as
a shipper, what she should have, and
Seattle will continue to dominate the
commerce of the Pacific northwest to
the exclusion of Portland and In spite
of all Portland can do. -
Will Portland arise to the demands
of her better sense, to the one cbance
she has of continued prosper, which
will make her the largest city in the
northwest or does she still desire to
continue under. JUie. ..thumb of. Seattle,
submit to the humbuggery of the only
barrier to herull development, lose her
water traffic and have a taste of what
it means to be an overboomed city, be
fore she wakes up.

CQUHTY COURT OF
WASCO ASSAILED
Recall Petition Is Filed but
Election Will Probably Be
Enjoined, .
. (Special to The Journal.) "
v ; The Dalles, Or.. July 0.t-A petition
has keen riled with the county cleric 01
Wasco demanding the resignations of
County Judge A.' E. Lake and County
Commissioners C, H. Btouton and H. C
Rooper, -'and asMhg thajb--iai,,j;.eeaiJJ;leo.
tlon be called if the of flclals named do
not resign within five days from the
date of the filing of - the' "petition.
Neither Commissioner Btoughton nor
KOOpei is Irt the cltJT Dut bounty Judge
Lake says none of the officials will re
sign, and that they will enjoin the coun
ty clerk from calling the election on the
grounds that it would . be a needless
expense, also on the grounds that the
recairaabptea"
tlon is not operative. The, terms or
Judge Lake and Commissioner Btough
ton expire on January 1, and neither of
them is a candidate for reelection.'
The move to recall the county Offi
cers Is the outcome of .the action of
the county court in letting a contract
for the commencement of the building
of a new court house. A number Of the
taxpayer of the county objects to the
new building, and when the contract
was first let began injunction proceed
ings to annul the contract. The In
junction was dissolved by Judge O. W.
Phelps of Pendleton.
Since the officers will enjoin the coun
ty clerk for calling the recall election,
and it will take several months to get
a ' decision . from the supreme court on
the validity of the recall law, the terms
of Judge Lake and Commissioner
Btoughton will have expired before It
will be possible to get the matter, of
their recall before the people at a spe
cial election.
