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,

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

The Native Sops of Hawaii held a
largely uttendod meeting Deewubar

effect that tho NkUyo Sous oftd
