Selfish Portland,

A Portland paper hits the moss-back
bankers of that city who recently ordered
that hereafter no checks or other obliga-
tlons against interior banks Will be ac-
cepted, except for collection, the follow
ing live hit: "Over $3,000,000 of Port
land money is to-day enjoying the sleep
that knows no waking in the wildcat
towns of Puget Sound, instead of being
safely and profitabl" employed In the ag-
rlcultural and industrial interests of Ore
gen, which have made Portland city.
What haye thesc dignified pawnbrokers,
who have grown rich through no effort of
theirs, ever done 10 advance or build up
the great stale of Oregon? What right
have they to pass judgment upon the
builders Of the interior? Have they ever
done anything through legislation or by
investment to build up the interior indus
tries? The answer is no. They are not
built that way. They think that the sun
rises on the west bank of the Willamette
river and sets on Portland heights. and if
they ever express any feeling of sympathy
for their fellow man il would probably be
on account of his m sfortune in, living
outside of that sacred circle. To them
there is nothing of value in the vineyards,
orchards, forests or gold fields of South
ern Oregon, the rich alluvial lands of The
Willamette valley or the rolling prairies
of Eastern Oregon, all of which are in
need of financial aid. And as matter of
fact the interior banks are on a better
financial footing to-day than majority of
the more preteDtlous pawnshops."

Oregon Leads.

In speaking of the Oregon exhibit at
worlds fair the st. Joseph, Missouri,
Herald says: "Adjoining the exhibits of
Missouri in both the horticultural and ag-
ricultural buildings are the displays of
Oregon, the legislature of which state ap-
propriated scant $1,000 In all for the
purpose of properly representing the
states resource and industries at the
worlds fair The contrast between the
two displays is so great as to put all Mis-
sourians to shame. In the Oregon booth
in the horticultural building over sixty
varieties of apples are shown, fresh and
beautiful on plates, where there are
countless jars and boxes of peaches,
prunes, eIc, so arranged as to demand
the attention of all who pass. Visitors
rush through the dusty Missouri space to
get into the Oregon booth and admire the
products of the far western state as ar
ranged so raptivatingly. The same is
true of the agricultural exhibits. While
the Missouri pavilion is more favorably
located. it does not command one visitor
while dozens visit Oregon and inspect her
exhibits of grains and grasses aud the
general product of the farm. Her wheat
is shown in two bushel sacks and all who
wish TO examine II haYe only to delve
into the sacks and try handful"
