TUB "STATESMAN" HELD UP. Mr. Deli 'Talk Back" on its verse Criticism of Astoria as tho Seaport of tho Columbia. Ad- Portland, Jan. 10, 1802. Ed. Jouknai.: I ask space in tho columns of your liberal and free newspaper to comment some what upon tho Salem "Statesman." Recently The Oregon Ian had a leader asserting that it was "child ish" to claim that Astoria could ever bo the seaport of tho products of tho Columbia. It asserted as a principle "that vessels go Inward as far as posssible" to make a seaport. To this I replied promptly nnd demonstrated on prlnrtlplo as well by aualoey that tho "Invariable law" was that thoy meet tho pro ducts of tho country as u ear tho great oceau as possible. T furthermore, showed by that paper's dally market quotations that this must bo true of Astoria aud Portland (barring tho schemes of tho "Portland pool" which I dissected,") for Sacramento valley wheat at San Francisco was worth 20 cents per cental or one eighth more than Willamette valley wheat at Portland, and that our valley wheat would bo worth sub stantially as much more at Astoria, and, therefoie, a railroad should go to Astoria us tho seaport In order to save over $4,000,000 annually to tho wheat growers of all tho Columbia watershed, if our masters will per mit. I assert that tho demonstration was perfect: and that It was so and unanswerable, in tho opinion of tho editor of that paper is manifest by his refusal to publish my luttor and rofute it, for I am not with out some credit, in the literary world. He sought refugo In Blleuco and in the "waste basket." But this vital issue of a great empire, allectlug tho north half of tho west third of tho wholo Union, can not bo suppressed at tho will of evon so great a mau as tho editor of that mighty organ of tho "pool," although it might alarm tho pigmy sails of somb of his sycophants who imagine they run their own columns. That mighty organ can not iutlmidato the free and unmuz zled press of tho Columbia water shed. At onco on tho rejection of my article I caused it to bo put in tho shape of a "circular letter" aud I sent a cony to each of tho 176 newspapers of this great empire. Thebo papers (averaging say 600 subscribers and five times tiiut num ber of readers each) reach over a quarter million of renders aud can give tenfold force to the discussion of this most vital issue lu the Columbian watershed. I believe there aro but few of them who will desert tho interest of tho furmor for tho "flesh pots" of tho "pool." Why did not tho Statesman pub lish my letter Instead of dismissing it with tho sneering remark that it presented what was old aud long since exploded? Is that not In thn Hue of the stereotyped argument of tho "Portland pool?" aud does not tho Statesman know that a great revolution in tho Columbian regions occurred in 1801? Does it not realize that a great Jetty 10 inllea from Astoria has changed n tortuous and shifting 18 foot channel to a smooth straight 80 foot chauuel, the finest in the world? It may be the Statesman took a Jaundiced view of ray letter because Salem longs for a sea coast line to Aslorlu aud because I laid great stress upon the necessity for all transcontinental freight lines to pass on tho water level of the Columbia through Portland to Astoria. Rut that was simply the stroug polut of the discussion of tho lssuo "whether Astoria or Portland should become the seaport of the Columbia pro ducts." I did not discusss other necessary lines that must run to tho ureut seaport of the northwest ut Astoria. One, may bo two or three, transcontinental Hues, will run through Salem via Tillamook und Forest Grove to Astoria. Thoy will come promptly upon tho com pletion of the first wuter level lino with eastern connections, yet their through freight Hues will go by Portland becauso It Is but a tow miles further and on an "ideal grade." In a work Portland's posi tloti is Impregnable as a railroad and manufacturing center. I would further add that the cry ing demand for Astoria as tho chief seaport is seen in the fuct that wheat at Yuqulna is worth more than at Portland, simply because It Is nearer San Francisco 1 1 In a word Frisco is our seaport I Shame on a people that would puy tribute thus to a foreign country, when they had tho nutural matchless seaport of the world, as my "sneered at" rejected article shows I Shame on a vulloy puper that would not only sneer at It but refuse to let the argument have a hearing in Its columns 1 Look at the Iloeoburg people struggling for a railroad to Coos bay, where wheat would bo worth more than In lortland, why ? Simply to reach a first class seaport at San Francisco which the"Fortland pool" refuses to let them have at Astoria, Look at the inland empire wheat eagerly seeking an outlet at (he second class seaport of Tacoma, , whero wheat Is quoted at 11 cents per cental more than In Portland although it goes over a 2J per cent grade and is still twice as far then from the ocean as at Portland. Look at tho millions of wheat that goes to Minneapolis all becauso thts mighty pool obstructs the laws of nature. It should all go foreign from Astoria. I hope The Capital Journal will show itself tho friend of tho farmers. Sidney Dell, GENERAL NEWS NOTES. Seattle has a now weekly, tho Democrat.

Associated Press Report and Digests of all Important Nows oi To-Day. HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. San Fbanoieoo, Jan. 13. Tho steamship Australia arrlyed yester day seven days from Honolulu. Politics ut Honolulu are commen cing to enliven a llttlo, but as yet tho party whip of either of those in tho field has not been applied, and arguments have been, for tho most part, mild. Robert Wilcox, ex revolutionist, who has been charged with treasonable correspondence with one 0. C. Moreno, and with endeavoring to foment trouble thero, has made u stutemont that ho Is not tho author of tho letters published In Nsw York and other papers, purporting to give said Moreno promlnonco as tho agent iu America of tho Hawaiian revolu tionists. Wilcox has lately made a political visit to the islands of Hawaii and Maul, and on New Year's evo ho addressed a liberal meeting In tho armory, oyer which Hon. J, E. BubIi presided. Wilcox again took occasion to deny the authorship of tho so called con splraoy lottors, though be admitted that he had wrlttou letters to Moreno, who wus bis friend, In forming him gonerally of matters pertaiuing to tho Hawaiian mltris try. He centinued: "Did you over know mo to advocate annexa tion to tho Unltod States ? What I huvo stated In public, aud I repeat now, is that If our affairs continue to bo conducted In tho base and unsatisfactory manner as at present, its owu rottonness will hasten us to a republic," Wilcox attackod. tho character of the marshalandattornoy-general,and wont on to say: "Foreigners are not advocating an independent govern meut for us. Thoy favor annexation with the United States In order to get the 2-cout bounty on sugar. When I was at Hi to recently a high government official declared h would favor a candidate who would promote Mott Smlth'B treaty scheme, That treaty virtually moans ur coding Pearl harbor to tho United States and allowing them to erect forts there. Tho queen lias signed tho treaty, but tho presi dent has not yet signed It. Con gress Is awaltlug tho approval of our legislature. If the candidates of the reform party would all bo eleoted, Punloa would surely be ceded to Amorlca. The natural results would bo that Pearl City lota will bo locally enhanced la valu. That Is the solo ambition of the re formers." Wilcox closed by saying a monarchy is good If the sovereign Is good, and so, also, is a republic Ho related the story of his tour about tho Islauds, and was followed by Rush and others, who also mad speeches sustaining the ylewa of W1I"0X. The Native Sops of Hawaii held a largely uttendod meeting Deewubar 29, and passed resolutions to th effect that tho NkUyo Sous oftd Hawaii certify to uphold tlw present form of government of tho laland, aud likewise Uphold the rjuMi aud throne of Hawaii; that tby protest against any projeot far annexing tM country, aud that it be publicly deolured that tho roporte, widely circulated, that the Hawalln people aro standi ug ready to adopt and enibruce a republican form of gov- ET'MM ,-3'J 5J! l W5-C M px-- -E3w- M M'.
