Col. Coggswen wake Up.

What an artless cherub is Col. Cogs-
well of Lake county! At Portland, the
other day, he was l,menting to an Ore
gonian reporter the neglect of Lake
county trade by the Portland merchants
and his state pride was sorely wounded
by the thought of so much Oregon busi-
ness going down to San Francisco, in
stead of going up to Portland where all
good Oregonians would prefer to have it
go. And yet this same prominent citi-
zen of Lake county, with his keen Ore
gon sensibilities, is the state senator
from Lake, who devised and pushed
through the wagon road bill which ex-
pended $4,000 from the state treasury
to make a new road from klamath
county down the klamath river into
California, and to turn the trade from
the southeastern counties across to the
railroad on the south side of the Siski-
yous. In his innocence the colonel
couldn't see tnat if the money should be
expended SO as to make good road
through the mountains to an Oregon
town north of the Siskiyous, the trade
would go to Portland. And the Oregon
ian and the astute merchants of Port
land and the Oregon legislature were all
so much afraid of losing vote or two
for the taxable bonds bill that they
wouldn't raise feeble protesting chirI
against CogswelPs bill to turn the trade
of Oregon over to California. The col
onel's grief over the despoilment of the
states commerce, reads pleasantly in
Southern Oregon now. He is almost a:

FAIRLY ANSWERED.
The Express asks :

The cypress asks:
"Would The Dalles people rather not
have the Columbia an open river than
to see the portage on the Washington
side, opposite Cello? Why have The
Dalles, Dufur and Silkstone corporation
been so slow in coming to the front?''
The first question is answered by the
monosyllable "No". The Dalles will be
glad to see an open river, no matter how
it is accomplished, or where located but
no one can blame this city for looking
after its own interests. We are not ask
ing for Il portage on this side as a matter
of favor to The Dalles, we are asking it
on the ground that it can be built on
this side for less money, operated for
less money and will be of greater SER
vice when it is finished than if built on
the Washington side. We are asking
that it be built on this side because such
road would be a paying investment,
through the freights it could control,
even if there were hundred portages
on the Washington side. We ask for it
OH this side because there is traffic on
this side, which a couple of feeders
would control for the portage road for
all time, so immense that it has been
estimated that the difference in rates
alone, between what the Union Pacific
now charges and those which the new
transportation company propose to
charge would, in one year, amount to
nearly sum of money sufficient to
build the road. We ask for the portage
on this side because we hold that port
age road, built by Oregon money, should
other things being equal, be built on
Oregon soil. These are few of the
reasons why we insist on the road being
built on the south side of the Columbia
The second question is just as easily
answered because there is absolutely
nothing to conceal in the whole husi-
ness. No attempt was ever made to
survey road back of the Columb bia
river and away from the drifting sands
till a short time ago, and the certain
feasibility of the route was never dem
onstrated till about three weeks ago
when Lieut. Norton finished his survey
and submitted his profile to the corpor-
alton which employed him. The cor
poration had no sooner organized than
they went to work to make the survey !;
the survey was no sooner made than it
was brought "to the front;'' and it
could not well have been brought before.
The surprise of the whole thing lies
in the fact that it has been demonstrated
that good road, at a moderately reason
able price for construction can be built
where interested parties, for various
reasons, have constantly insisted no road
could be constructed, or rather which is
more strictly true, by route that few
ever thought of.

Need of Caution.

The men who control in the directory
of the Columbia River Railway and Nav
igation Company are people who have
been the trusted agents and railroad
builders for the Northern Pacific for
many years. Its charter does not allow
it to build branch lines, therefore the
Northern employs others to form sepa-
rate corporations, and after having COM
pleted branch line in any desired To-
cality it is turned over to its own opera
| ting department. In this way Paul
Mohr and A. M. Cannon, the apparent
head and front of the Columbia River
Railway and Navigation Company, have
built several lines of road for the North
ern Pacific. 1t is more than suspected
that the scheme they have now on hand
! is another Northern Pacific job which
these enterprising gentlemen have un-
dertaken. Before recommending the
subscription to the capital stock Of this
company of $500, 900 the chamber of
commerce committee should make such
thorough investigation as to leave not
! the slightest chance of a mistake in the
matter. If the Northern is in the
scheme, it is in it to control it and we
all know what that means.-W World.
