YACUINA BAY AGAIN.

We find in the Oregonian of the 23rd two
very significant notices in relation to the Col
umbia river bar and its relation to the ship
ping interests of that river. The Astoriam
is reported as saying, "Pilots on the bar all
agree that unless some measures are adopt
ed for permanent Improvement of the chan
mel it will not be longer considered safe for
vessels to enter or cross out with more than
eighteen feet draft of water" and in the
Oregonian's San Francisco report on finance
and commerce it is stated, "The agents of
an English marine insurance company here
informs us that hereafter the rates on all
vessels crossing the Columbia river bar draw
ing over 20 feet will be materially increased.
This will tend to confne our traffic to vessels
of moderate size and SO indirectly to keep
freights at full figures. 1t is to be regretted
that such action should have been found
necessary" Nor is this ali, for we were
informed by the same paper not many days
ago, that the tonnage rates from Eastern
ports to Portland, exceeded by SIS per ton
the rates charged to San Francisco.
It does not require much ability to sug-
gest who are to bear the burdens of these
heavy freight charges, but when weare in
formed that under certain conditions these
charges are to be materially increased"
we are forced to the conclusion that Port
land must either be deep water port or
take advantage of the nearest point
where deep water port is possible, or give
way to large commercial city on the Sound.
Of the first proposition it seems barely pos
sible on account of the immense amount Of
money necessary to accomplish anything of
Importance in deepening and maintaining a
channel at the entrance of the Columbia.
Then again be it remembered all efforts
to this end are only experimental and, while
this is going on, if attempted, the N. P. R.
r. may have reached the Sound, the diff
culties of bars, of shallow water, and of
large appropriations by government avoid
ed /; and the products of Eastern Oregon
which should flow past our doors are carried
up far to the north and the lenefts of the
same lost to this State.
OF the second proposition while it may
not be what Portland will desire to contem-
plate, that is, take advantage Of Yaquina
Bay. yet, if with the removal of the soft
rock forming barrier to the enterance only
some 300 feet in and out, this removed
and of sufficient width, vessels drawing %
feet will find no difficulty in entering, and
when in will lay as snug as in 2 dock at
Liverpool.
If the improvements contemplated for
Yaquina Bay are successfully completed
there would be no reason for any higher rate
of tonnage from the East to this port than
to San Francisco. This reduction, and the
reduction ON tonnage, pilotage, and time
would Be more than equivalent to any loss
Portland might suffer. and in the meantime
would aid her, to retain what her pluck and
energy has built up, viz, the commercial SUI
premacy Of the northwest.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

Since the agitation of the project
of building ship canal across the
Isthmus, connecting North and South
America, much has been said and
written about the Monroe doctrine.
And especially since President Hays
in his late message to Congress re-
cognizes the doctrine and asserts
that it is applicable in the great in.
ternational scheme of constituting this
canal, has the doctrine in some quar-
ters been severely critisized. Here.
tofere all parties have recognized and
approved this time honored and
national preeept. The ''doctrine'
was first proclaimed by President
Monroe in his message to Congress
on the 2nd of December, 1928.
A dispute had arisen with England
respecting our northern boundaries.
Mr.. Monroe said "In the discus
si,ns to which this interest has given
rise and in the arrangements in which
they may terminate, the occasion has
been judged proper for asserting as a
principle in which the rights and
interests of the United States are
involved, that the American conti-
nents, by the free and independent
condition which they have assumed
and maintained, are henceforth not
tobe considered as subjects for future
eo!eciEation by any European power. !"
From the above declaration we get
the idea of the so-called Monroe
doctrine. 1t put at rest at once, and
untitnow, the question of the rights
OF foreign powers obtaining foot
hold on the American continent.
Although at first the nations of
Europe deemed it very radical
doctrine, and offensive to their theory
of colonization upon our soil, yet it
has come in later years to be recog-
nized and sanctioned by them as
just and equitable, and has been
strictly adhered to by them with the
single instaSe Af.the attempt made
by MaximiIis6 tw years ago, to
setup prof6 6rate over Mexico.
With the results ofthat fool-hardy
scheme our readers are quite familiar.
The doctrine adyaAeed by President
Hays in his late message is, that the
canal cannot be bsilt unless it can be
controlled by the United States. It

FRoM ALsEA BAY.

EDITOR GAZETTE: This, our "win.
ter of discontent,' is fast passing,
literally and figuratively. Oregon
is booming with railroad enterprises
and everything is lovely on the Alsea.
Never was the prospect for the
development of our country SO fiat
tering as now. We are listening
with open ears to hear of the appro
priation for Yaquina bar, which will
insure our railroad at once. After
reading the communication of
Shipmaster" to London mercan-
tile paper anyone unprecedented can
see that it is public necessity to
open up to the shipping world less
cumbersome and more direct outlet to
our grainfelds. Think of each ship
paying $3.50 to $500 towage beside
the lighterage and the numerous him
derances and disadvantages that
shipowners have to encounter before
they get in and out of the Columbia
and Willamette rivers. Congress
ought not, in the eyes of all these
glaring facts, hesitate moment to
appropriate the full amount necessary
to remove the reef at Yaquina bar.
Just think of the thousands of dollars
our toiling farmers could save could
they ship through this natural outlet,
Yaqnina Bay.
There were during the year 1879,
seventy sail vessels with cargoes
passed in and out of the Columbia,
at an average towage of 1915, which
would foot up to the nice little sum
of $27, ,25O bar towage, beside what it
cost from Astoria to Portland and
back, and also the lighterage. No
wonder the tonnage is raised on us
on the slightest provocation. No
wonder shipmasters seek redress. No
wonder, then, that the people of the
Willamette valley want more direct
and practicable outlet. Then let us
strike while the iron is hot for now
is the time-"the accepted time"
"Now is the day of our salvation"
Oregon is now booming with rail
road enterprises and prospects for
the general development of the great
resources of the North Pacific are
brilliant. One might think that this
isolated section of the country, the
Alsea, will remain in the background.
1t cannot, "The sun shines alike on
the just and the unjust" and my
dear Christian friends, when the sun
of prosperity is made to shine on
your inland valleys and hills, our
verdant earth around the beautiful
Alsea Bay will bud and bloom like
the rose of Sharon, as well as all the
rest of these southwestern slopes that
lie SO gracefully under the benificent
rays of the sun and nestled SO sweet
ly by the side of the sea. Then if
the sun shines on your wheat fields it
will also shine on our garden spot of
Oregon.
The Indian question is settled.
Agent Swan will have the Indians
on the Alsca taken to the Siletz as
soon as the weather will permit.

: A CORRESPONDENT of the Montana
Neao Northwest, writing from Omaha,
and who has had good opportunities
of learning what is intended, says !:
Surveyors will at once be put on
the route from Ogden to Portland for
a broad gauge road, and no doubt a
considerable portion of that line will
be built this year. think the route
will be through Boise City. 1t seems
to be the purpose to make the Utah
and Northern a Montana line, and
make a western section with the
broad gauge"
This is good news for Oregon. We
need all the outlets that we can get
for our products, and thereby freights
to this State will be greatly reduced.
A melancholy picture is drawn by
the correspondent of Vienna paper

dier as a disgrace, and the streets of
Janina are full Of soldiers who stretch
out their hands to the passers-by for
aims in broad day. At night they
attack the peasants and rob them of
all their valuables. The Turkish SOL
diers are, indeed, so much in want of
money, owing to their not having any
pay for more than three years, that
they often sell their arms, and the
military commandant has found it
necessary to issue decree strictly
forbidding this practice under severe
penalty, when discovered.
