VIII Portland Heed tho Appeal.

The Klameth county Star makes the
following appeal to Portland:
"Now is the time for Portland to get
the vantage ground to fight upon, and
not wait until ra lroad connection is
made before she make an effort TO obtain
every dollars worth of trade in Southern
Oregon. As we lave repeatedly said,
we can see no reason why Oregon should
not have that which Iightfully belongs to
her. Neither can We see anything to
prevent Portland giving to the people Of
Southern Oregon as low prices as can
San Francisco merchants. And should
it become necessary, ev make a sacrifice
to obtain the trade of this portion Of the
state, rather than to see it 90 to San
Francisco. We do not believe San
Francisco has any more wealth in ac-
cordancc to its population than does
Portland. The railroad facilities are as
good for one as for the other. No dis
elimination is made by Eastern mer-
chants by selling goods more favorably
to San Francisco merchants than to those
of Portland. Then, we ask, in the name
of common sense, what is keeping Port
land back? Why does she not ener-
getical!y reach out for that which be-
longs to her? Again, we ask, will Port
land stand idly by and see the immense
wealth that is rapidly accommodating in
Southern Oregon, particularly in klamath
and Lake counties, wend its way to San
Francisco and build up that proud city
with Oregon money?

At Chicago.

CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-Thc annual street
parade in this city to-day was the most
noteworthy ever made by the labor or.
CARNATIONS of Chicago. The day was
warm, but perfect in all other respects
for street display. The column began
moving at 1880 aud, marching steadily,
was nearly three hours in its passage.
The column was divided into nine di.
visions, aud close computation puts the
number Of marchers in line at between
thirty and forty five thousand. The
feature in parade was contained in the
remarkable uniformity shown by each
division Of the marchers, the latter all
being supplied with canes aud generally
slouch hats Of gray or dark colors. All
the men marched by columns Of tour
well closed up, generally moving with
great precision and regularity. A
column Of five hundred employees OF bank
safe manufactures wore white tiles.
Coums of journeymen tailors numbering
one thousand wore white derbys and
presented probably the finest appearance
of any distinct body Of marchers. The
American flag was carried by each
divis on. One of the trucks in line
carried figure Of a twenty foot giant
stamped out cheap labor, idealized by the
figure ola Chinaman. The possession
was an almost endless display Of mauufac
tured goods. One OF the Knights Of
Labor assemblies carried banner in.
