no value to Umatilla county because it passes through a coun
try totally uninhabited and not susceptible of being fanned.
Nor would the road be of benefit to points west of Umatilla be
cause those points are already served by the present highway,
Furthermore, excepting Arlington there is no town of any si.e
on the route until The Dalles is reached.
The only thing that has secured the Wallula road any recog
nition at all is the claim it will be of benefit as a feeder read to
Portland. But it can be shown that any such benefits will be so
small as to make the point inconsequential. The much touted
claim about Yakima trade is a myth and the fact can be discov
ered by anyone, who looks at a map.
Furthermore, why should Eastern Oregon's quota of federal
money be used for Portland's benefit. Why not use it, upon
roads of importance to Eastern Oregon? Wont. Portland herself
gain far more by this course?

THIS newspaper does not wish to be unfair to others but it
can see nothing but sophistry in the contention of the Port
land Oregonian on the rate issue now before the commerce
commission. The Oregonian would deny to the interior country
the benefits of the very principle for which Portland contended
in the Columbia rate case. No amount of shifting and explain
ing on the part of the Oregonian can change the fact. Jt is a
case of red handed hypocrisy.
It is also noticeable that the Oivgonian's statements and
i.latemenls made here recently by II. E. I.mmsbiiiy of the O. W.
31. & N. Co., tlo not coincide. .Mr. Lotmshury told us, ami he
knows the tacts, that what the railroads ehieily set k in their
plea is not freight that is subject to water competition. The
seek freight that originates so far frcm the Atlantic seaboard
that it cannot use the ocean. He spoke particularly of stool from
Illinois. In this class of traffic, originating in (he middle west
the railroads seek the right to give coast cities a lower rate th.r
the inland cities. This is not it fair proposit ion. To put such a
system into effect means to give coast cities not only the benefit
Of their location near the sea but with i cforem e to rail trans
portation it gives them benefits that should logically go to inter
ior points instead. Portland cannot secure middle west freight
by water. Nor is Portland nearer the middle wesl ban is Pen-
