FLAgEL'S MONOPOLY.

the conclusion long entertained by the farm
ers and "bucolic" journals of the William
cite Valley and Eastern Oregon. that the
system of pilotage and towage existing at
the mouth of the Columbia works hard
ship upon producers, and is great draw
back to the commercial prosperity of the
State. An examination of the records Of
legislation upon this subject will, 1 believe,
disclose the fact that Multaom.h coanty's
delegation in the Legislature has, at each
session when the matter came np uniform
lily worked and voted in the interest of Mr..
Flavel, while this gentleman, in return, has
marshalel his forces in support of Portlauds
asylum interests. The asylum question is
now settled, and we find the metropolis
planning to destroy its old friend Flavel by
the purchase of two first-class steam tugs
Sach is life;--The action of fortland's s legs
lators in behalf of this monopoly has been

people.
Mayor D. P. Thompson, who has gone to
clad in the shining armor of his
star route contracts, and carrying in the
pockets of his store clothes three
thousand dollars in coin and credentials
from the Portland Board of Trade, has been

But while making this splendid record on
matters of Importance to every citizen, he
was not slow to focalize his cunning upon a
scheme by which the State was to be fieeced
to the extent of some SIS, 900 in the matter
of 'tist1ng" State lands at the insignificant
sum of three cents per acre. This little plan
of Dawes was punctured by Hon. Cyrus A.
Reed, of Marion, who exposed it upon the
floor of the House. Everything considered,
believe Portland has secured the right

Dear Sir: Please send me copy

send at once, as | want to go to the
Pacific Slope to live; 1 want to see
the inside OF your place through your
paper. Direct as above to
T. L. TEEL.
Nearly every week brings to our
table several communications similar
to the foregoing. But we are sorry
to say that these inquiries after infor-
nation can no. well see the inside OF
our place through our paper. 1t is
generally taken for granted that
such will appear from the columns Of
newspaper. Every newspaper
should reflect the business of its To-
cality through its advertising col
umns. But great many of our bus
mess men are yet living in the dim
ages of the past and have not awaken
ed to the Importance of advertising
If every business house in town would
run regular advertisement in their
local paper its columns woald then
show so exactly the business indus
tries of our town that the far away
stranger could sit down with paper
and pencil and photograph oqr town
and also calculate pretty clearly the
amount of business transacted by us.
