No old timer is going to believe it until he has seen the boat, walked on it and hefted the freight, to see if it is real. Realization that The Dalles is a seaport will not come for many years after it has achieved the dis tinction of being one. For many it will always be a shipping point for wool and wheat and a trading center for a rather wide farming area. A trip to The Dalles was onetime an event of the year. A f ter it became possible to buy sugar and coffee in the settlements in the mid-Columbia district homestead ers still had to go to The Dalles buy many things they needed and the trip was often made for things they didn't actually need. It was a place to foregather with friends after the wool - hauling season. Now it is reported that it is go ing to be host, not once but perma nently, to sailors and men of the sea. They are to come and mix with the Indians basking in the sun along the streets, with the wide hatted cow men who lounge in front of. its beer halls, with the grain growers whose bars fill the parking spaces and, as we said when grandma cut her hair, “it’s fine and modern and how have you got along the old way.** LETS GET ACQUAINTED It is a common observation that Portland is only a part of Oregon in a geographical sense. This must mean that men who dwell in our only large city are unacquainted with the methods of production and the lives of of the people who grow the goods handled in the city. The reverse is probably true as well; that the people up-state know little of the problems of the manufacturers, processors and shippers of their products. The Portland Chamber of Com merce has been trying to relieve this situation by sending out stor ies about the city’s»work. Nothing that we know of, has been done by rural residents to tell the city of their problems. A better understanding might well be developed with compara tive ease. For years groups of Portland business men have inter mittently made trips over the state and met with local groups. They are perhaps too hurried to be real ly very effective, but undoubtedly serve some purpose. Portland or ganizations might well have an available list of speakers who would go about the state telling civic clubs, granges, etc., about the work the city inhabitant do and how. The Chamber of Commerce the unions and other organizations might try this plan. It is not at the present known to the writer whether or not any up state man ever appears in the city in any role but that of purchaser of goods or service«. It does, how ever, seem probable that Portland business men would be interested in learning about Oregon affairs directly from the , producers or those who represent them. ¡Such a program might change the present situation about the general lack of geographical know ledge concerning the state. To many city dwellers eastern Oregon is merely a big country where peo ple live a long way from each oth er and while these facts may be demonstratably true they are not entirely adequate to correctly de- scribe this part of the state. Problems that arise between the city and the country could be more easily settled if there was a wider acquaintenee between the people of the state and a better understand ing o f p o in ts-e f view. It m ig tf he worth trying. Over In China where the JaP4 and Chinamen are fighting to lee who will manage the country and produce the stuff used by the resi dents, the Yellow river hat taken charge and settled the quarrel ; temporarily—and permanently for some 150,000 persons. Had they not been fighting they might have saved some of the lives. ______ I Congress is about to go home ' and leave the country to its fate, to struggle along desperately without the guidance of the senate ! and the house. How the nation can ! exist without some body to appro- ■ priate money until next January is one of the questions that can lie answered by time. Surely some one with authority will be left to tell the employers how much to pay, the employees how much work to do and-the farmers how much to plant.
