Concentration of a big fleet of great ships of heaviest tonnage at Astoria's grand and unrivaled seaport will not alone cheapen ocean charters In aid of Portland's commercial primacy In tfcls Basin in tha West It will also concentrate immigration to this Basin. . It wlU enlist Mr. Harrlman to make Portland his principal Western terminus, instead of giving It the go by, as now. . It will secure extra efforts on his part to fill this Basin with people. As the very center of the West; as the only, true route the world highway of commerce, this Basin wilt then become the toous of travel and immigration. Mil lions on millions of people will speedily, nil the Willamette, Snake and Columbia Valeys Portland's tributary country and make Portland's trade vast beyond estl BteHD,.lW9prtland can thus, and thus only secure, 800,000 population. Soon sh would, ; tnder?,.thif . impulse, distance San Francisco.. But finally, Astoria's seaport supremacy would enable Portland to gain a monopoly ot all the manufacturing trade ot the Ori ent, or, in other words, of mors than half ths population, of the earth. It would, by bringing the great shlps of commerce to Portland's outer gate, put the factories of Willamette Falls Jn touch with the Ori ent For 8000 cnllei on this Coast there is no other important water powes (except at the Cascades,1 which is another ot Port land's suburbs) oonnected by a first-class waterway with a first-class seaport This give Portland's water power a monopoly of the manufactures on this Coast for that trade. Since It la 15,000 miles nearer that market (without an isthmian canal) than Manchester or Lowell, this means a monopoly of that greatest trade on earth, with a limitless vista for Portland's growth as the conceded mistress ot ths commerce of this Basin,' through ths use of her ocean port at Astoria. 1 forebear to efflSrga on this breath snatching hotison, for - Portland's great ness; but will add that Eastern factories could not, by railway discriminations. hold down that manufacturing trade. The reason is found in Portland's great inland waterway, which will be the theme of my next article. Meantime, let It be noted that the greater and wealthier Portland shall be come as the mistress ot commerce, the grander will Astoria's seaport grow. Al so, the more complete Astoria's seaport supremacy, the grander becomes Port land's great destiny. It is "very mutual" a regular Pyke and Pluck status. SIDNEY DELL. INDIAN WAR PENSIONS. Grand Commander T. A. Wood, of the Indian- War Veterans, expects to hear today ot the passage by Congress ot ths Indian War veterans' pension bilk As soon as its passage is assured, which means the payment to each veteran of a pension smountlng to 28 per month, Mr. Wood will petition tha War Department to increase to 213 tha pension of all veterans over 265 years of are.

The maple sapling freak was first discovered by Al Salmon. He says one day he climbed or shinned up a big locust, tes that stands near the walk on the north aids of the east approach to the Courthouss to extract a baseball that had lodged between the forks. This feat led to the discovery of a tiny maple sapling that was making a heroic effort to rear Itself skyward; Its tender roots barely embedded In the natural basin. Mr. Salmon forgot all about county warrants long enough to descend to earth, secure a handful of dirt and place It carefully about the roots of ths young tree. This done, Mr. Salmon went his way, thinking nothing particu larly about horticulture for many months. One day lately he happened to glance up toward heaven and his eye tell upon a fatr-slssd "scrub" of. a msple, . audaci ously set between the broad arms of the locust. It was four or five feet high, and about two Inches In diameter, fully leafed, and bearing all the outward evi dences of a full-fledged tree with bark on it r Al Salmon stared and laughed, and told a bystander that It was "his tree," and related the story of Its discovery and rescue. No one knows where the maple seed came from or how it was placed there. Mr, Salmon's theory is that the eeed was either boms there by the winds or was transplanted by a bird. Ths other freak of a tree stands olose beslds the walk that leads to the County Jall, and but a few feet from the two-In-one freak. A small wart-like arm has grown outwardly from the truolt, resting on, the railing which la Jammed closs tut to the body of the tree. As the trunk grows the arm extends on the flat surface. It has now reached a length of nearly 13 Inches. Jailer Mitchell Is ths special custodian of this oddity and takes oare that no one hacks it wit ha knife. OIL FOR USE IN LOCOMOTIVES From time to time The Journal has called attention to the growing use of petroleum as a fuel for locomotives. Its use with the Southern Pacific Company along the greater portion ot its line Is well known, and the probabilities are that It will be still further extended. Locomo tives throwing out volumes ot smoke in which there are thousands of sparks, are always a source of danger. Thousands of acres of grain are annually destroyed in this way. Ths use of petroleum as a locomotive fuel has been found to provide ths, means of reducing the danger from fires to a minimum. In this part of the coun try actual experience has shown that oil Is much, cheaper to burn than coal, as well as less dangerous. President Lytle of-tha Columbia South ern has dsclded to convert two engines on his line Into oil burners, and It Is prob able that they will be equipped and in order by July IE. If It shall be found that oil gives the company as good service as coal, then other locomotives will be modi fied to meet charsgedL conditions. It la not at all Improbable that the O. R. N. Company may also sdopt oil as a fuel for engines. Apropos of all this, 'It Is reported that the Associated OH Com pany of San Francisco - la arranging for ths establishment ot a Una of tank steam ers to ply between Portland snd San Francisco, to supply railroad companies with tha fuel. This company, it is said. Is trying to extend the usa of Its product for the purpose named in the Peclflo Northwest The obpectlon to the coal used In the West on locomotives, is that it is too light and in ascending heavy grades an unusual amount of live sparks and cin ders are ejected. Whenever It is dis covered that a tire bas been Ignited, the fireman Is compelled to descend from the engine and extinguish it with wet. bur laps,-- It fm estimated that three barrets ef oil are equal in steam-producing power, to a ton of coat, and oil Is the cheaper of the two. : Blancbet Institute.
