City, which is located, somewhat ominously
It would seem, inside of and adjoining Cape
Diapp,oint,ment..: ? , ? y x.; t.
At the first sight it would appear as if As
toria or. Pacific City should become tbe sea
port for our interior; but the early settlement
of tbe.Wtllamette Valley built up Tbe Empoi
rium,"abd. the, discovery ot the.Nez' Perces
mines found that Village " sweetly located on
the banks of this Willamette,'' with considera
supplies of. merchandise on band.Thistat
once founif a market at handsome profits, ani'
Tbe Emporium was quite rapidly ebriched."
For a time the commercial men of that place
conceded with much frankness that "Port
land's true policy was to remain dependent
on San Francisco," but time lapsed, and the
citizens. who bad once owned hundreds now
counted their thousands, and it' was discov
ered that tbe true policy of the place was to
break loose from tbe San Francisco connec
tion and make tbelr town tbe importing point
for the Columbia River . interior. Circum
stances favor this projeot, and beyond doubt
if there sball be no outside influence, tbe for
tunes of The Emporium would be fixed.' Pre
liminary to' breaking loose from tbe, San
Francisco connection, Portland, wants a line
of steamers to bring the freights destined to
tbe Columbia River, from the East, from San
Francisco, to that' all the'profiu !wbicb' lit
California metropolis will gain by the Oregon
trade will be tbe earnings of warehouses-meni
stevedores and long-shore-men. Following
this, Tbe Emporium will hare ships which
wilt bring "freight direct from the All ru tic
side into tbe mouth of the Columbia River.
Tbe consequences to Sao Francisco are ob
vious.
To' counteract this design, which would
render the present Oregon anil California
steamship interest worthless to the owners,
certain men of means bare determined to
renovate tbt shattered splendors " of St.
Helens, and bring the tea going craft to Ibat
point,' to discbarge and take in cargoes.
There it . also another project on foot, sod
that is to revive the somewhat dormant pre
tensiona of Pacifio City to the trade ot
the Columbia. River.' TUU latter tcbVmo
now being elaborated,' and' ' the ' pro
prietors of tbe town-site say that If the Gov
ernment will, relinquish certain lands com
