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-

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)

for a place which can only be reached
