Thl wealth would percolate U th avenur of life among a population of, ay, .wo million. It would add to tha funeral prunperliy and. unlike tha hlp chandlery, ll beneficial effort would reach every branch of tr3e In our city. Burely, tht would be of far greater ben efit to P on land than th k of a half million dollar of ahlp chandler' tral.

It U the serious and perlU ent object of that treat railway company to Increaa tha wealth of It patron and develop tta tributary country, o a to InrreaM It traffic. Surely no on tin of Ha effort could produce a more extraor dinary benefit than thl. The inrreaia of rorUand' traffic with (he Interior would mean Increased traffic for this road. Not only thta, but 4he vaat bonua TO THE PRODUCER tn Me reter wheat value at Aatorta Bay would apeedlly force all the wheat to that port over that line from the Inland Empire, In stead of haullnc half Hi wfreat from eaut of th Cascade (om U million tons) a now, the O. R. A N. would then haul ll all. Bun a far ir&nder benefit to Portland would flow from the commercial revolu tion to follow a chnnRe AOreaUr , of the chli-f port to Rtiu't. Antorla l!y. It would force all the transconti nental railroads, and other now cn route to the Pacific Northwet, to sind tholr main traffic line throunh Portland on tholr way to tho chief exportlnit polt. Ttils would nccc..-irily mnke our city the permanent railroad cen ter of this priNit railroad reg-lon. On the other hand, with Astoria Ray excluded as tho port. It Is per fectly manifest that Puffnt sound. Sonttlo. would soon acquire sesport supremiwy over Portland. This would force the great railway lines to concentrate at 6ttlc, loavlnR Portland simply a way station on ono line from Willamette val ley on Its way to fho Sound. It would surely wrt from Portland its natural rlg-ht, aa the converging- point of all the water levols, to be the undisputed rail road city tf Astoria Bay should be the exporting point. The value to Portland of being he railroad center of tlf s mighty region would b vast beyond cal culation. It would make nor the mis tress of commerce. Its effect upon the rrowtlt of our trade, population and real estate values would be very great Indeed. Yet. under existing conditions that statiia Is seriously menaced. These benefits arise out of the local situation. They sro of vast Importanco to Portland. Yet there l Stilt a much greater benefit Orrater. to flow to us from mak ing Astoria Bay our chlof on port snd thus concentrating all our railway lines upon that port. The tr:ui with tho Orient, now being eagerly Bought by all ttio world, Is the greatest trallle on earth. Tho Canadian Paiiilo. backed by nil of England's wealth. Is playing h high hand for It. Railway concentration upon Astoria Pay as the chief port or" tho Paclflo coast would enablo us to force most of that traffic over our lines. That great seaport' central situation. Its water level grndo through the Cas cades (the only ono north and south t r 1,600 miles) to the summit of the Rockies 1,800 miles away to the east, and an In terior country six times as rich as th basin of the Frazer and Thompson r.vers, would easily enable It to corral th-'t Oriental trade from the Canndinn 1'h cltle. Ptiget sound can't do It. Neither can Sun Francisco, which has tried nd failed. Of course Portland can't do It. The principle of I1NAVY OCIOAN TON -iNACii; alone would make her n pigmy rival of Vancouver, R. C, one of thfl llnest tlrst cfciss ports In the world. Whut, then, would ba tho result of this giat istreum of tratllo upon Portland's Krowili? j Why, plainly. It would mako the Colum bia banin what nature Intended, the very center of the great West. This would quickly double Its population and double Its wheat product.doubltng thoroby those ASTORIA'S PORT Greatest Commercial Center of the Coast. annual values gained by making Astoria Bay our sea-port. Of court. Portland, m th railway and commercial center, would also double In population and trad. Its real est ate also would dvublo In valua. Why, the mere Inauguration of thl "Oregon chem" would five a tremendous Impulse to ber real aetata sale. Thing would begin, at once, to hum with th plain evldeno of thl grand future, Tt all theae vat benefits are held back from Portland by the Wheat pool, which re duce our trusted newspaper Into be fooling ua to sumwrt a policy Inaugurated by "Jim" Hill for the benefit of Seattle! Borne of the result of "Jim" Hill's control of the O. R. N. against Port land' Interests are seen iomt In the present Isolation Results. of Portland from foreign connection by ocean pas S'ngr line. San Francisco and Puget sound are In -direct touch with all th world. Portland has only one regular ocean paaxengwr line that to Ban Fran, clsuo. The following table tells the story: Ran Francisco Puget Bound Portland direct to direct to direct to Panama BIN-ri Brn Francisco Mexico Hong Kong Australia Victoria Honolulu Honolulu Hong Kon Australia, 81leria Ban Francisco St. Mlcheal . Skaguay Bkaguay St. Michael Victoria St-attle Oregon Theae vast and plain benefits to Port land should be more than enough to stir our cltlxen to .enthust rjrandcr asm for Astoria Bay a Than 4H. the great seaport of th West. But there Is on Other feature of greatnei for Portland tn thl situation that la grander than all else. That feature is th resulting da velontnittt of our manufacture through tli magnificent water power at Oregon C4ty. It need but little reflection to show th vital Importance to Port!&.t of tht fea ture of growth. For 1.000 Mane- miles, from Alaska, to factories. Cape Horn, that water power baa no rival. Tber 1 especially no such water power on this coast connected by a great Interior waterway with a first cla port A a consequence, the developed manufactures at Oregon City In every line of trade would have a monopoly of thl great trade on the eastern and western shores of the Pacific. It embraces more than half the population of the earth. Neither could Lowell nor Manchester compete, since they are nearly twice ten thousand miles by water farther away from those great marts of trade. The effect of'thla mlgbty trade upon Portland's growth would be simply be. yond calculation. Wie would speedily dl.ran-e all other Paclflo coast cities. She would quickly take rank with the greatest cities of the earth. Tet the O. R. & N. Co.-Portland' natural allystands in the door of this grand prosperity for our !

NEW YORK, Nov, O.-A dispatch to th World from Pari Bays: Spanish Peace Commissioner Abarjursa, discussing the peace negotiation, aaid: "W bar fulfilled our mission her and have agreed to mak a treaty of peace, but w do under protest that our sovereign right over the Philippine art till Intact Our memorandum today ? this fact forth, though admittedly It can not affect the treaty. We k our colonial empire, but America doe not know what new and dlfflcuK reaponatbilitlea h la under taking. The island of Mindanao alon will kep bar busy for years." Being asked If the treaty win contain any reference to debts, Senor AbarxuM answered: No; Inasmuch a th American nave put these question aside and have re fused to take them Into account when framing the treaty. Subsidiary metiers, such as tho cable station and so on will be dealt with separately. "I don't expect more than! two or three sittings after Wednesday," Senor OJoda, the principal Spanish secretory, said. "Peace Is assured. W have agreed to ilgn the treaty In accordance with the protocol of Washington, but at thhe same thne protesting onr sovereign right over the Philippine and stating that we only yield to the bard American terms owing to our Inability to renew the war and In the presence of st-perlor force." Secretary Moor, of th Amerlcaaa com mission, puts it this way: 'The Spaniards accepted our condition unreservedly and a draft of treaty will be laid before the joint meeting next Wednesday. They have accepted t,0O0,0O0 for th Philippine." Th Amerlcaaa commissioners are high ly pleased and relieved that the crisis has been successfully turmouv.td. They did not at all relish the poaslbiltly of falling In their task. President Day remarked, -with undis guised satisfaction: I hope we shall be Bailing for home in a fortnight Everything Is now clear." The Spanish commissioner were gloomy and distressed at Monday' meeting. There waa no interchange of the usual compliment and civilities. They were performing an ungrateful task under compulsion. It Is known now that Senor Montero Rloa asked Piemler Sagasta to accept their redgnltion from the corainla. lon rather than force them to accede to a surrender of Spain's colonial emprre. but Bagaeta appealed to them to fulfill their mission In the Interest of the dyn asty. For th first time etnee the mooting of the commission the Spaniards hive left off the gravity of their pathetic de meanor. When General Cbrreo entered his carriage he pur a handkerchief to hi eyes, being overcome with etnotlM. iMontero Rio left the meeting place wtth bowed head and a spiritless gaft. tbe picture of Jejctlon. Secretaries Moore and OJeda will meet today to begin a treaty In conformity with the American demands, including the relinquishment of Spanish sovereignty over Cuba, th ceding of Porto Rico and of the entire Philippine group. Tha Cft will be ready Wednesday, when the American commissioners will present In from articles and other matters referred to in their last propositions which are to be embodied in the final treaty. Only verbal discussion will be held then. It is expected that the treaty will be signed within two weeks from today. INSURGETNTS MAY YET CAUSE US MUCH TROUBLE. Administration Has Made Preparations to Quell Any Outbreak Which May Occur at Manila. WASHINGTON. Nov. 29.-The appre hension which manifested Itself some time ago over tho attitude of Agulnaldo and the Philippine insurgents has not entirely disappeared, though the administration believes they will accent the situation without conflict with the United States. The matter was discussed at the cabinet meeting today, and some of the views expressed Indicated the possibility that tbe Insurgents may have to be dealt with. Meanwhile, however, the president ex pects that serious trouble whh Agulnaldo will be avoided, but at the same time has guarded against outbreaks by taking pre cautionary measures. The American force already in occupancy of part of tho Philippines Is regarded as altogether adequate to cope with any emergency. ADVICES FROM MANILA. MANILA. Nov. 29.-At the Loyal Legion banquet 'hero yesterday 69 guests were present. Nearly every commandwy w, represented.

Casino Espanol here has donated $10 to each Spanish officer and $10 to each private In captivity by tfie Insurgents. The' Philippine papers are demanding "ood roads Into the Interior for the transportation of produce, which now Is wasted. Advices from Hollo say the natives of the Vlszayas Islands have established a republic Independent of Luzon. In pome of the Islands hostilities are pro ceeding between rival republics.

Several bodies also have drifted ashore near Highland light and part of a boat marked "Steamer Portland." The Wood Island Ufesavers made sev eral gallant efforts yesterday to reach the schooner Jordan lL Mutt, bound from New York to Rockland with coal, and finally succeeded. The Mott put In here on the 2tth for a harbor aod sank early the same night The captain and crew of five men took to the rigging. Terrible seas and a gale prevailed at the time.

When the Wood island crew made Its successful launch and came within hail ing distance of the Mott, Captain Dyer said: 'I can hold on. Save my crew. My father is frozen to death at th mast Do not wait to cut his body down, for tho crew are freezing." The three-master Lester A. Lewis, Cap tain Kimball, from Ellsabethport, N.
