For an Open River.

Spokane Chronicle. An open river
should be the battle cry of all Eastern
Washington, necessarily and Emporium
ately, until it is accomplished. With
an open river our freight rates would
decrease one-half; immigration would
thus be attracted; vacant lands would
be occupied, and waste places would be
converted into fertile fields; villages
would grow into cities, and cities would
double and treble in population; the
increase of population and lower trans
portation rates would bring capital and
manufactures taxes would be lower
prosperity would be visible on every
side. This is but skeleton outline OF
the benefits an open river would bring
to large portion of Eastern Washing
ton, and this is why we say it is the
most needful thing. Eastern Washing
ton is, in fact. more interested in it than
all of Oregon.
