The I uilding of the new road between PorMand and Astoria by Mr. Hammonc. In the face of tre- met.dous opposition, has s-t everybxly gueisins. The questions of vital interest are whether It Is not rheip?r and better to handle the graft shipments of the state at AstoriE Instead f at Portland, as heretofore, and how be-?t to oerccme the competition of the SounJ. It Is readily seen that win all of the iTomplex elements entering Into it the so- lution of this question will not be arrived at in a hurry. Reduced to its simplesl form, will the handling of grain at the mouth of the rive-, Instead of at Port- lard, enable the state of Oregon to do the principal shipping business of the Northwest coast? P?rhaps the best post- ed railroad man in Oregon Jays It will, but that the difficulties outlined by Web- foo: ate to be overcome. There is a way to do It, and that within two years. The expenses of Towing .4hips to end from Portland are a little more than the average expenses of towing ships up the Sound. If. by Joining hands, Port- land and Astoria can make the cost to vessels loading in the Columbia river at Astoria a mere nominal one, a large advantage is at once gained over the Eound. By eliminating the river fiwage and pilotage, a large portion of this coit Is at once cut ofT. This, of course, will be done as soon as the grain I bandied by rail to Astoria. Then the bar pilotage and towage can ealy be reduced to a mere nominal sum. Doubtless, the As toria road will be closely allied to the Morgan family Interests on this coast. It is only natural that t should own It own tug boats and do Its own towing. By loading vessels at Astoria, not only towage and pilotage expenses will be saved, but ship will save fifteen day in time, many Incidental expense, and th danger of the Tow one hundred and ten mile up river, and a compared with Seattle or Tacoma, a saving of three hundred miles la made, one hundred and fifty of which I towage from the straits to port Beside this, insurance for ves sels loaded at Astoria 1 one-fourth of one per cent less than on vessels loaded at Portland. Within six month from the time that It is noised abrsnd that ships cftJi come Into the Columbia, get their carfoea only ten mil from sea at a mere nominal towage expense, and save one or two week In time orar Portland or th sound, beside securing a less inauranoe rat and an increased freight rat, two Teasel will head for this port where one now books for the Co- , Inmbla. Thin Is a small tlaurv. .md Is only half wf the tstlmate mado l" n . 'xmrt and conservative traftV nvm. It lis clearly to lw men that If Hi vinMt ; l:s brought to the mouth of the Column: f.r loading-, two or thro Units th- nniti- . I or of vessels now handled In the Colutn- i bin will .Main their oargoea at AstovU. Tut this does not settle the question of the tralllo relation between the railroad, j or whether they V. make any ciioM ri latlona. It Is a well known principle In Kurore mid the United States thit the n.Mrer tidewater you can hrlnu rail ami Jeep sea vessels together, tr-e e!uUer the tvins portation ami th lets the cost to shipper. c,i sumer and transportation commutes. The advocates of the prm.'lple of -en.lluB d.-e- sea ess, Is as far Inlan.l as posj.Wc for their oarsvw oite the instance of the Manchester ship canal In Knv-lsnd. wl'.toh was construottd at tr.-nieu.lous est lor the purpose of Kittlna- vessels a hundred or more miles Inland. These people lose slRht of the fact, however, that th Man- ch.ter canal wu built to onat le veeseK hrlnirlni: canroe from abroad to dleh.-n.v a, lwtr ,neir innd destination a ; ssl- We. There is little outgoing pay 'ouslnes from Manchester. The situation on the Columbia, is exiu-ily the reverse. Ninety per cent of the ships coming here come to receive cargoes. When goods are 'oad ed In cars for export by It Is cheaper that line of mandling the business. It j would be much cheaper to turn the Uaded , ears ovir to the As-.oria roaa, and throw I uIn the terminal line at Astoria all ter- mlnul charges. There is no reasonable , l"U''t that in making such a deal the j shipping of wheat from the Columbia rhvr would be more than doubled, und j the earnings of the O. R. & X. Co. would be so increased as to offset whatever j ltsse might be Incurred through the glv- ! ins up of the towage ana a proportion o: the through rate to the Astoria road, Auxiliary to this would be the securing of East-bound business from Astoria, the largest portion of which would be lumber "nd shingles, which would be manufac- tured In large quantities from the tlm- ber at hand, as soon as the means of ex- porting the product were furnished, These desirahl- results are to be cb- talned by intellgent work upon the part ' both Astorians, Portl.mders and the railroad. So soon as the business men of Tortland realize that theft general business and the trade of the entire state are to Le augmented tenfold :n two or three years' time, they will be the firt to ur-e the accomplishment of the d -a After the Astoria road !s -jompleted, the whole question will be largely settled by jm-mmmmmm i nimn 3 Nourish Him.

XIDIBER TWO K. J.lrgalls Tells About That Comity j Koad and Its Opening. Cbadwell, Sept . (Editor Astorlnii.- j In your issue "f Sept. 2 the honourable j supervisor of rend district Xo. 2 seem ! to feel aggrieved, and rushes Into print to ;ilr himself, and get a little notorleiy. and he has ni; been very p.artieulur about getting his Information. Therefore, much j of his communication Is untrue and mis- leading. Now, with a view to advancing the In- j terests of roads In general, and correct- j itu.- mlsstatemt nts. and to shun the a:il mis!ty of the honorable supervisor of dis ! t rif t Na. 2. I venture thl reply. In the first plaee, I was not one f tli j vhiims alluded to. and was nt the author ' of the eommunlcitlin of August 14 re-1 ferr-d to. But knowing the condition of , the road In district No. 2, and also other districts and knowing that the super visor of said ili.itrirt. as well as other supervisors, was openly violating the Taw by leaving the road In a dangerous con dition, 1 haw this to say: Now, srtlon of the road laws of the state of Oregon, reads thus: "The supervisor of roids shall open or cause to be opend, all public roads which may have been or may hereafter be laid out and established according to the law, In any part of his road district, and shall keep the same in good repair." Now. does this law mean whit It says, nr Is It null and void and was It placed on the statutes for fun, to be violated with Impunity by sii'h men as the honorable supervisor of road district No. 2 beeause he wants to peae Old Man '.Vest? I think not. I think the law means what It says, and no one win venture a contra diction. In my humid. opinion, 'he laws want remodeling. Our main ne., s a competent and , nr-.' tl- road and bridge supi rintndnt eleeted by the people, and paid a f n Ir salary; whose business It shall be to ''fmipel ui"-f. isors t' comply with the law, or fin- them and turn them out of offl'-e. Then, and not till then, will a suffering public -et some benefit from their money paid out in taxes. The laws re d-feetive. Our present county court have evinced a disposition to try and remedy this evil. In a m-asure, and have done more In that line than their pre decessors, but thus far their efforts have '.een practically fruitless, In th older states every town has a superintendent, and they expend more money yearly In many country towns than Clatsop county haa spent during her existence. Ro much for the law. Now to answer the allegations of the honor able supervisor. I will say, In reference t0 the casual ties at the time of the accident, the lady was somewhat bruised, and the little boy showed the bruises plainly on his face, a week after. I saw all of the parties within one hour after the accident and can say that I could not detect any sign of the effect of "liquid refreshments." But I presume if the parties did indulge in any way, they paid for It, an It Is not Improbable that had this Insinuate been present and been Invited, he might have Joined in the Indulgence: for 1 have known many In my time, that were ccn- tlnually howling about "liquid refresh ments" who were always ready to take a drink at other people's expense, but never put up themselves. Second The honorable uervlsor of district Xo. 2 says he has been driving horses for W years and has yet to learn that a road that is wide enough for two hores Is n wide 'Ueuirh fr mm Now tho eoninion gaVm of .1 wnuon ;i u, In Oregon Is five feet.
