Still a Matter of Choice on the Part of Portland. The following letter from a resi dent of this city is from Oregon Sif tings of the" 17th. inst. AsTostA, (Jr., juarcn o, xooo. Sin: Yours concerning status of Portland and Astoria received. We have raised a subsidy of SloO,- 000 and tei mmal facilities for the purpose of getting railroad con nection with Portland. Negotia tions are now pending towards its acceptance, rortianu maae ngnt of Yaquina until a road reached the bay and a line of steamers put on between there and San Francis co, which draws oil much of the trade of the Willamette valley. She objected to the locks at tho Cascades until recently. She has always opposed a road to Astoria, her natural seaport. But it may make her a port able to accomo date the largest of ocean ships, but it is not accomplished yet. She has hedged in herself for fear that she would not have the whole until Yaquina takes from her, and what is worse the Sound underbids her for east of the mountain's trade. She is not able at present at least not willing to make a sufficient ship channel from sea to her wharves. Then why not in the meantime advocate simply but build a road down the river to Astoria? Then it would be possible to meet the ships at the ocean, and be on, not only an equal but superior footing, to the Sound. The world's attention can then be called to the harbor of the Columbia river in competition to the Sound. Now people at large only see Portland on the Willam ette in comparison with cities on the salt water of the Sound. With a railroad down the river from Portland to Astoria not a pound of freight from Columbia or Willamette valley would reach Astoria except through Portland. Not a pound" of ocean freight would reach the interior except through Portland. Portland i-. es tablished in business with its banks aud branch houses through out the interior. It has hold of the business of the country, and with a road to sea wonld ship and handle the grain and trade as n nv. On the other hand the trade tl.it goes to the Sound she cannot hiii dle. It comes tj this mouth of the Columbia or the Sound. Her in terest is with the former for as she is closer than Astoria, and right in the track of land and water car riage, she will handle and receive the benefit of that trade, while the Sound trade will be handled by Sound people, capital and in fluence. The opposition of Portland peo ple to a road to Astoria, grows out of an old iealousy that had its pirth when the two places were tho only places of importance north of California. And now that Astoria has ceased to be a ri val and other places have far out stripped her, is fast reaching Port land's size and importance, it has made the interest of Portland and Astoria identical made a neces sity for Portland to do ,1 certain kind of business through Astoria. The old feeling exists to such an extont that she hesitates to do what the business interests of her people require her to do. Mow can Portland convince a stranger that she is of much im portance so long as she has no road to her sea-board, cannot reach a summer resort by the sea even by rail. It certainly would bene fit Portland to have every visitor to the seaside to come through Portland. The boats run, but that is not the improved method of traveling now-a-days. With a read to Yaquina and roads across the mountains to the sea, many people would go thero for their recreation that would come to the mouth of the Columbia if thev could do so by rail. Tourists that even reach rortianu will not visit Astoria because they cannot do so by rail. They do not like water travel. The importance of the mouth of the Columbia, and the vrholo country along the river from Portland to the sea, is belit tled and Portland too by reason of there being no road. A road here would settle up this part of the country. Would a heavy population on sea coast from Tillamook to Gray's harbor injure Portland? It would bene fit her. Some may say" or might boast that if a road come to Asto ria the business of Portland would come, but I do not see it so. Grain or the ocean traffic could be done better here than at Portland, but I do not" think that it -would be taken out of the .hands of Portland people, or that Portland merchants or manufacturers would come in competition with Astoria for the interior trade. Our benefits would come from increased settlement and business in our neighborhood where thero is nothing more for anybody, and never will be for Portland unless thero shall bo a railroad down the river. Portland cannot grow much more unless the state and sur rounding county fill up and furnish business. A road down tho river would give a new impetus to the business of tho whole state, and Portland would grow the more rap idly for it. It is in the power of Portland to cause the road to be extended at once to Astoria, as the Northeru Pacifio is already half way down it would not cost much to extend it tho whole way. The great corporations with this present division of territory aro looking to southern California and the Sound. Tho Union Pacific has just looked the routo over into Los Angeles, while Gould has bought an island and property, near San Pedro. The Southern Pacific and Santa Fe are already there. The Northern Pacific is boring through to the Sound. The Lake Shore and Seattle road will soon be bearing out to the Great Bend of tho Columbia. This, with the Manitoba, seems to be reaching for the Sound and Southern Pacific by an independent road or lease of the Northern Pacific will soon want to extend to the Sound. The importance of the Colum bia liver seems to be lost sight of by the corporations and non-residents. The 0'ily means to coun teract that is to extend a roid to Astoria and then il the wishes and hopes of both Astoria and Portland cannot be realized, we will lmvo to admit that the Columbia river i a mistake. That nature intend ed the trailing marts of this coast so be on the Sound and coast ot 'California. Did you even consider the wheat traffic to San Francisco? That by having high foreign freights to the Columbia liver the O. H. & N. Co. could get the car riage of the grain to San Francis co. I have known steamers to carry wheat (perhaps for some favored parties) for 50 cts. per ton to San Francisco. I think they now get 2.50. The price paid to tho farmer i6 determined by the rate of foreign freight from Portland. That is in excess of San Francisco freight, foreign. Then the steamers come in aud offer to carry to San Fran cisco at such rates that the shiper can send to San Francisco for ship ment, foreign. If, however, it goes aboard a sail vessel at Portland the same 0. R. & N. Co. tows the ship up and down the river and carries the lighterage. If the ship loads at Astoria the 0. R. & N. Co. cany down the grain. In both cases tho tugs tow tho ship over the bar, and it is said they are con trolled by Goodall & Perkins, agents of the O. R. & N. Co. Some of yourheaviestmen arein the 0. R. & N. Co. Their interests as stockholders seem to bo in the direction of high freight and tariffs on Columbia river shipping. This subject will bear a careful investigation to get at all tho bear ings. . A Clear Complexion. How can jou expect a clear complex inn whpn the blood is full of impurities anil the stomach clogged ? The blood be comes impure because the liver does not act properly and work off the poison from the sj stem, and the certain results are UlOicnes pinipies- uuu eruiuiuus. Purify tho blood with Simmons Liver Regulator, and regulate the liver, stom ach and bowels, and then tho skin will become clear.
