A large Held for home consump- It must perhaps be conceded that nel Uon is open here. The farmer would ' ther the president's position nor that ol receive good revenue for his product and always have a market at home where his animals can be sold at a small cost for transportation. On the completion of the Astoria-noble road this fall there will be large numbers of ships loading at this port which would be also large purchasers of pork. With Kaffir corn, a little labor on the part of ranchers, lntroducUon of hog raising on a targe scale, and a packing.! house In Astoria, there would he f irmed ! a three-sided combination that would put money In the hands of tho farmer, the merchant, the capitalist and the laborer. Is not the experiment worth trying? THE OLD STORY. A Portland correspondent of Friday sends the Astorlan thia clipping, together with the accompanying communication: The British bark Chelmsford, 1W7 tons. Is loading railroad iron at Grimsby, Eng land, for Portland. This iron is Intended for the Astoria-Goble railorad. and is art of the lO.ftJO tons recently purchased by Mr. Hammond. The British ship Tul- wood, AH tons, Is also at Grimsby, and , the British ship Brenhllda. lin, is at ' Maryport, loading with iron. It will re-1 ouaro live ot six vessels to Drin-t the en- lire amount. The note attached is from the Orego - nlan. of even date. Will you please re-J lirlnt it, and ask the Oregonlan if ii:,-se ships are to load, and clea- for Portland bring the Iron up here, and dlscfcnrt:! it her. and then have It go back to Astoria on : There Is room for parks and parks, and barges, or are they to arrive at Portland, u is to be hoped that the city will not flrst, via Puget Sound, and the.i go cn to! lose this magnificent opportunity of se Astoria. and discharge? Is It not a fact curinir a neighborhood park that these ships are 10 load, clear and ' discbarge at Astoria lfjre coming to Portland? If this Is so. should not As toria have and get the credit, and should It not be made known to the public that the ships are for Astoria, and P irt'and not be allowed to get the .redit and advertising that belongs 10 Astoria, as she is doing by sending out such Items as the attached unchallensd? Astoria needs Just such facts .naile public, so that tne world will know that she Is a port, and Is going to have a arllrsad In the near future." This offence is such an old one and such a favorite game with the Oregonlan that the Astorlan is sick and tired of correct-j Ing and exposing it. Were it not that the thing touched, at every rcDetltlon. r,n ! a matter absolutely vital to Astoria's In terests we would long ago have ceased ; to recognize such contemptible efforts to' Injure our city's standing abroad and to' ... . , , , ,, , I up ie la'oe anu nuicuious claims of Portland to being a "port." Only a few months ago it was shown in these columns that the Oregonlan was Eprcad- "n uiwiiii tuo uiiuuiii mat iiue ten- sels loaded with some 75,000 ca-?e of salm- on had cleared from the United Kingdom frcm Portland, when as a matter of fact every case was packed, put aboard, and shipped direct from our own wharves, one hundred miles nearer the ocean. The Chelmsford, Tulwood. and Bren hllda that the clipping under present discussion refers to are not booked to! unload cargo a Portland at all, but at Astoria, and so will all the vessels loaded with railroad Iron that follow them. Ac cording to the Oregonlan, every ship, steamer, bark, schooner, or scow that clears from any part of the world for the Columbia river, has Portland for Its place) of destination that is to say is bound for a place which can only be reached for nine months In the year by travers-' Ing a hundred milt of a narrow, tor-: Men, shallow tni dang -rout rhann).
