TO
Interviews With Portland Citizens on, the All
Important Matter,"
Now that the question of the Fair site

favoring the City Park. Tne Journal is
endeavoring to find ouf the sentiment of
Hie peopl of the city oh the question,

with Portland cltlicns In various walks
of life may prove Interesting.
A. number of labor leader were among
hnrt interviewed ob the Question. The
only objections expressed against the
ntr Park site was on account of Its
roughness. One man said; .
"It; will be an up and down hill walk
for the visitors from the time they enter
the" place until they lea ye it. Again.
the transportation facilities to the park
art Cf- the poorest character. On every
Sunday now it Is almest Impossible- to
rt t tide there, all the cars being; full
When the cars are crowded , now, what
would be the result during the Fair? I
think that It should be held along the
river bo that people could o- either toy
rail or water,"
COLONEL H,, E. XK5SCIL.
"t have not given the' matter much
thought, but If -all difficulties can be
urmounted-and - there . are many the
City Park would ell right for a Fair
site, as It Is public,' not private, property,

"By all means I would favor , Haw

of any site yet mentioned, both for per
rons' attending the Exposition and for
those who desire to make exhibits. The
latter. tat least Would 'not have to climb
a mountain with their goods, . which
means a. great deal. , .'
''Aa far a the City park affording a

"What -have 1 to say concerning the
City Park as a site for the Exposition?
If you refer to The Exposition' as the
show proposed by the sub-committee of
thres, I have nothing to say. It will be
a matter ; of no concern to the people
where it will be held. For such a show
the oid Pavilion and Multnomah field
would be ample room.- If we can't have
an Exposition In keeping with the great-i
tiess'of this Northwest countrv and malia
It accredit to the cltlsen of Portland.,
we would better shut up shop before we
go any farther. The whole trouble with
our Exposition Is that the board ot di
rectors has not to exceed three men who
are in 'any sense showmen, and those
men are kept silently In the rear. This
snould be a big show and we should
hove showmen to. run it. Bankers and.
cheese-paring" business men are all well
enough on the board, but wha? we need
now are men-to spend the money and
not men tq save it. inis talk about gate
receipts being the first consideration I
ajutluihe- .rut. The first consideration
jshould be to get the crowd and then
make a favorable Impression on our visit

"It is my humble r opinion that the
City.ParH is not the proper site foil
' the liawls and Clark Exposition, It Is
too . difficult of aocess, and for the pre
sent, at least, there la a lack of proper
transportation faculties. It is loo high
up In the air. anyway. A big exposi
tion with the tramp of countless feet
would come pretty near to spoiling it "as

Hawthorne Park. ' The arguments in

and registered at the - Portland.. Mr.
Watterson came West -upon the invitation
of the management of the Chautauqua

he will do this evening. WKen aeen this
morning he said that he felt somewhat
fatigued from, his journey, and would re
main as quiet as possible - during : the

Mr. Watterson stated that he had been
anticipating this Western trip with great
pleasure.
"1 am greatly impressed WltlT', the
weather conditions which I .have en
countered hare, and thinlc the people of
Oregon should appreciate the glorious cli
mate. This Is the season that tries the
patience of the people of our section. We
are' sweltering, ordinarily, while I find

I think this Northwest country has. a
great future. I would enjoy making a
tour of different parts of the. country, and
may do so at some future time. : I con
sider Oregon one of the greatest states
of. th Union. There seems to be such
a diversity of' resources here that there
Is no end to the possibilities. ,
"Portland I find to be a great and grow
ing city,, and . with the exposition you
are planning . for UK, will forge ahead
very .rapidly and become a great, com
mercial center, backed as It Is by the
Immense area of agricultural, and mining
domain.
"All that I have heard of Oregon and
Portland seems to be verified, and I am
delighted.. From -What I have heard of
the scenery along the Columbia river, I
would enjoy a trip up that way. It is
magnificent, I have every reason to be

COUNTRY WITHOUT COAL.
Argentina ts an example of a country
which has ho coal and is compelled to
send thousands of miles for all It buys.
yet in spite of this great disadvantage
Argentina is building more' factories and
Shops and developing more Industries than
any other Latin-American country except
ing Chile.
Argentina buys nearly all its coal from
Great Britain. The freight rates are
usually quite' low, tor a great many ves
sels that go to Argentina for wheat would
reach Buenos Ayres or Roaario in ballast
it u wera not ror the opportunity to loaa
up at Cardiff or some other British port
with coal, Our coal, at the pit's , mouth,
I'Ij cheaper than British coal, but if there
is a way to send it to Argentina as cheap
ly as England sends her coal to the La
Plata oountrles we have not discovered
It, so England monopolies the Argentine
coal trade. ; . ,, 1 - .
A curious thing happens when Argentina
has a large supply of coal on hand and is
importing less than usual. Then many
of the grain ships enter the La Plata in
ballast, and not having brought over any
profitable cargo, they try to make up for
It by charging f. higher prrbei for carrying
wheat to England. We thus see that
there Is really a connection between the
quantity of the coal Imports Into Argen
tina and the cost of wheat transportation
from that country to Europe...

' This sensible piece is by the sporting
editor of the Salt Lake Herald; : . '
' "To all appearances the fighting game
ts off in this city for some time to come,
and: those who are most .interested in the
sport will be glad to hear it,' Tom. Rellly
and Joe Cottenwere notified yesfJrday by
the msnagementof the local athletlo club
that, tholr match, scheduled to come Off
on July 27, had been, declared off, and that
the club would" hot attempt to pull oft any
more contest for some time.' If this move'
had been made some time ago' the sport
Would have, been in better standing todwy.
'Boxing contests In the summer. time as
a regular: diet once a, week, are not a
paying venture In any. .city,' and It Is un
reasonable to expect that Salt Lake would
stand for a regular thing of.lt, If ever
a sport was dead In any pity, boxing Is
here, and If will take strons: efforts on
jJhe part of someone to revive It. It had
resolved, tselt to a 'stage where every
contest pulled off here was nothing more
or less than a 'meat ticket' 1 affair, and
the publlo had become thoroughly dis
gusted with the sport. . -
"This state of affairs has been largely
augmented by . the rank fakes 'anl raw
deals that have been put before the pub
lic In the last 'three months under the
guise of boxing contests. 1 This n not
only true of Salt Lake, "but also of the
surrounding towns that have been handed
some gold brick affairs lately, ,
Boxing contests make one cf the best
sport In American athletics, and if prop
erly conducted will always prove papular
vlth the people. It Is hoped that when
the gamo In again revived in tins city it
vlli rst into good hands and the 'meal

There has always 'existed In the iver-
age Portland mind a bellet that the loss
of her grain ships to, Astoria meant cpm
mercial , ruin lo the inland metropolis.
Such, or many yearst was also the pre-f
vaiung Deuer m Astoria.
The, preceding letters 4iere -written to
how, and have made plain I think how
illy was that ldeahow shallow 'that
view of Portland's grand situation - aa
owner "of an ocean as well as of aa In
land seaport. They, have made plain
the simple truth that it meant 'only the
petty : loss ' .of : ; some . shjp .'chandlery
ttgiuiiai, mv gajq. oi commercial -empire
by use of the ocean port; Nq Peruana
man ' has dared' take his reputation -fqr
common sense by 'disputing 'the plain
truths of those letters, Yet that belief
fear had sunk deep; into the minds of
tha denlsens of Portland and needed to
be ; eradicated . before ; he could jtttaln
her true: destiny. That belief, however.
I has been' made the basis of the schemes
of a . secret influence -with a secret In
terest that 1 hostile to ' Astoria's sea
port upremacy. So so ;..':,- Portland
business men and property owners, shall
understand that - Portland's commercial
primacy depends on her highest use of
her; ocean port at Astoria, the situation
will change at. -once,- and Portland .Will
demand, ' in her own' Interest,1, that her
ocean 'port shall be accorded a common
point 1 with Seattle nd Tacoma on ' alt
exports. Portland publlo i opinion would
control the 0. 3ft. & N.1 Co. and the Union
Pacific system as to extension of termi
nal export' rate to her ocean port.. Every
business man-, knows this , la true." The
great struggle, therefore.' was and i to
control - Portland publlo opinion, - It la
a mightier faotor than the secred Influ
ence. That secret -influeaoe, hostile alike
to Portland jjommerolal -.primacy ,r and
to Astoria' seaport supremacy, prompt
ly, on completion of the Astoria railroad,
set about the suppression of all ' agita
tion, of - the question of Portland' Inter
est In her ocean aeaport. It waa the key
to the situation. Agitation "or silence,
then, was the great struggle.
The Oregonlarrt had long been the only
medium, for reachlnr that publlo opin
ion. For four years! have sought an au
dience with Portland people on this
question, all Important to them and to
us. The Oregonlanu turned Its-face, like
flint, against any discussion,' agitation,
on the subject' If would neither discuss
it nor allow It to be discussed In its
columns. It has, besides, ' used every
Journalistic art to fan the flame of jeal
ousy between the . two i port and to
deepen the conviction that Astoria' sea-,
p-cirt supremacy .meant Portland's com
mercial doom. It waav Impossible for me
or y ,pne offering the Idea that As
toria was Portland' own - ocean port, to
get Into the columns, of that paper for
agitatlob on that subject. .
Some three year ago while I was mak
ing "Rom howl'.' , on the outside with
my contention cononrred in, by the
way, on a notable occasion by President
Mellon the Oregonlan and A. B. Ham
mond began a discussion on the ques
tion of the justice ot a common point on
grain . export ; fort Astoria. ., Many, lead
ing men In both cities engaged in -4hat
discussion. , Without jexceptlon the en
tire discussion was based on the false
and obtrusive assumption that Astoria'
seaport supremacy meant her commer
cial supremacy . and . Portland's doom.
, t , - - ' , : I mo queeuon. xne invitation - wae b
Every letter only served to deepen PLaad setting the date wa only de-
land's fear that loss of the grain ship
to Astoria would, make of her a Sacra
men to, which 1 th usual object lesson
in their . mind; . This discussion ' lasted
several, months, ,,and only . closed when
Hon. D. K. Warren shied his castor into
the ring with the opposite basic idea.
That discussion waa doubtless engineered
by the secret Influence to harden Port
land' heart against asking or even con
senting to .a. common point .on exports
for Astoria, -the Oregonlan chorusing all
the., time tha, it was purely a "railroad
question.". I sought in every way to get
Into that discussion in order to refute the
basic assumption and to show Portland
that , her primacy , depended on having a
common point, with Seattle and Tacoma
extended to her ocean-seaport I wrote.
In Jnj . own , name, 'directly to . Editor
Soott. but my letter wa . ignored. I se
cured others to father like articles. ; The
secret Influence excluded them. Finally,
I wrote to A, B. Hammond, who waa the
focus of the discussion,, and Bought to
have him turn the discussion to the
true issue that "of Portland's interest
in demanding the common point for her
own ocean port He", too, refuted to Urge
that Idea, claiming he did not conoar In
It. He seemed willing to solidify Port
land' false fear of ruin from Astoria'
seaport, supremacy." " . .
Later, in May, 1800, I succeeded In get
ting' the Astoria i Common - Council to
pass a's'erle of resolutions, declaring
in substance the great truth developed
In the preceding eight letter and asking
the Oregonlan to open it column to a
discussion of them," so that Portland's
false fear might be eradicated and the
harmony of ' interest between , the two
cities - 'made plain. Instantly a great
commotion wa excited, and the secret
Influence induced-the Oregonlan to refuse
the request I have 4 letter from H, W.
Scott to Councilman Cook, leader of the
movement';? It was In answer to a per
sonal 4 appear for -leave to discuss this1
