Prospective and Retrospective.
Editor Chronicle: . - ; "';""" ' - . ,
We now look back to the days of op
pression from high freights and fares,
and upon the tiring efforts of persons
and people to release themselves from
the avaricious grasp of a very rich cor
poration which had squeezed every dollar .
of their wealth from the people of Ore
gon and Washington, and when we made
an effort for release, as the putting on of
the steamers Little Teaser, Gold Dust
and many other similar efforts which are
yet in the memory of-'old settlers, how
very soon did they pounce upon us like
a hawk on a chicken,-and crushed soul,
life and intent out of , it, until we were
almost disgusted with our ojvn efforts.
But it is a fact that oppression has its
day and truth and " righteousness will
prevail.' If so ail the people ' will 'say
amen."
How fondly did we hope that congress
would relieve us ! How sorely were we
disappointed ! -When ' the building ; f
the locks was turned over to the war de
partment we : had a meeting at . The
Dalles and discussed the matte at some
length." We remember that the writer
proposed that we petition congress to let
the building of the locks by contract but
a number of our influential citizens
thought the plan useless and impracti
cable, some of whom still live to see the
folly of the present plan of building the
locks. .
We have always claimed that this rail
road corporation has done nothing that
any other company or individual would
not have done under the -same condi
tions. They had held this mighty pass
through the Cascade mountains .from
the Inland Empire to. the northwestern
metropolis Portland until they viewed
it as rightfully belonging to them. They
bought us, paid their money for us and
owned us (.as they thought) until now.
Portland has far lees excuse for the
course she has pursued than the railroad
company foe they have made themselves
rich through their course, but Portland
has lost much of the trade of the Inland
Empire that even now an open river
will not entirely bring back. She had
nearly lost the title of being the largest
city in the northwest and only, by dint
of hard labor and raking and .scraping a
few of her suburban Cities' inside her
corporation has she maintained ' her
supremacy and wealth'. Until ' recently
she has always thrown, her influence in
favor of the railroad" "company ' and
against this country. .Her board qf
trade and leading journal has spoken
an acted against an open, river, the latter
at one time by saying that ; the govern
ment might as well throw money into
the Columbia river as to appropriate it
for the locks- Had she stood in with us
as her-interests demanded, her . popula
tion today would have been 10,000 more
and her . commerce one-third greater.
Was she afraid of Astoria? , Had she a
contract with the railroad company that
their terminus should always remain at
Portland? Are they heartily in earnest
for an open river . today? . Does their
commercial board in indorsing the Paul
Mohr, portage road system around the
dalles of the Columbia indicate their in
terest in the matter? Are they so inno
cent and devoid of suspicion that - they
cannot see that to build on the Wash
ington side, takes' no trade but Klicki
tat and we have that by an open river
just as surely as to build on that side.
Besides by building on "that side we
throw it more or less out of the hands of
its friends and under the influence of the
North Pacific-company and a large ma
jority of the legislature of the state and
all large cities of Washington. They are
very innocent! in this matter that we
fear it is mixed a little with guile.
. If they think the Union Pacific is go
ing to give this entire river pass up with
out a further struggle they are more,
: verdant than I can credit them for. Do
they think to commence at this late day
-and sail through the obstructions of this
Columbia. pass on flowery beds of ease,
while - we have struggled for fifteen or
twenty years to open the' river from here
to Portland. - Besides to - build on this
side,,', the! portage will be entirely-' under
' the control of its friends and will directly
tap Sherman county at its upper termi
nus and also secure all the trade ' tribu-
"tary to the Columbia river. ' Thcpeople
of the Inland. Empire are not alone in
thinking that Portland and the U. P
company are still working together to
prevent an open upper river. ; While we
do not accuse the editor of the Oregonian
of being an aspirant for congressional
honors, yet, though he usually main
tains his editorial . perch 'with unusual
steadiness on most occasions, when the
editor of the Astoria Daily Ta ZJtv by , a
well directed; ishpt' recently given him
upon-thfs subject by -saying; "Tc ac
complish its canal and defeat an Astoria
railroad it will help the Union Pacific-to
defeat an open river," etc., he fluttered
in good style. (See editorial November
27,1891.) .--;;v
" But now half the battle is won and all
concerned have done -bravely. , But the
Oregon legislature in passing the . Wat
kins bill solved the problem, and while
we can't blame the Union - Pacific spm
pany financially for bucking, yet we can
say to them so far as the-river from, here
to Portland is concerned,' you have let
3our golden opportunity like a financial
sunbeam pass yeu by. So long as the
portage road is managed by the friends
of an open river they may as well tie up
the Baker, unless it is being run to dis
courage the building of the upper por
tage. Finalfy, if Portland is willing to
let the time past fully suffice to have
worked with the JJ. P. company to de-
feat an open river, and will show : Iruits
to inspire our confidence, let them say it
strongly and then.we will trv to rereat
it and all the Inland Empire will say
--.amen. ; uobace. Kice.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is a
favorite during the winter months on ac
count of its great succejs in the cure of
colds; There is nothing that will loosen
a severe cold so quickly, or as promptly

pleasant and safe to take, and fully
