THE TRUE CAUSE.

After hauling wool to The Dalles
our sheepmen suddenly became
aware that there is no sale for it
there any more than here. The
Dalles is not wool market. After
it Is hauled there it must be shipped
to market and very often no doubt
goes back over the o. r. d N.
through Grant, Arlington and Pen
dleton. If The Dalles people would
put in woolen mills then they might
lay claim to furnishing a market for
wool, but under the present circum-
stances all they can claim is that
wool buyers can be found at The
Dalles to buy the wool, all of which
can be done at Arlington. Here
after Gillian county sheepmen, as
well as those from eastern KlIckitat,
will haul their wool to Arlington un-
less The Dalles can make it more of
an object to haul to that city than
has been done this year. An open
river to the east, as we'll as to the
west, would do wonders toward max
ing The Dalles a market for wool.
At present they have no competing
transportation lines to the east. and
in that respect are no better off than
we are at Arlington.
This from the Arlington Record is
amusing Of course it is to be ex-
pected that our neighboring city
would not look kindly upon the en-
croachments made by The Dalles in
securing wool from territory for
merly controlled by other places, but
the raillings of the Record show a
lack of perception of the real causes.
It is true little or no wool has been
sold in The Dalles thus far, and 1t is
possible none will be for some time
The Boston markets are glutted with
foreign products to such an extent
that the supply is far greater than
the demand. This is the direct re-
suit of the Wilson bill, and The
Dalles is no more to blame for it
than Arlington.
When, however, the market does
open it will be found that the differ
ence in prices offered here and else
where will contain a wide margin. !
Last year wool sold in The Dalles
for twelve cents, when the best that
competing points in the interior
could offer was nine. The same
condition relatively will result this
season as soon as any movement be-
gins. The influence of The Dalles as
wool center, however great it may
be, cannot counteract the effects of
Democratic legislation.
One criticism of the Record is,
however, clearly right. In connec-
tion with other advantages. as wool
center, The Dalles should have
wooien and securing mill. Pendle-
ton has stolen march upon us in
this regard, and is reaping conse-
quent advantage.
The Record is wrong again when
it says we have no competing trans
portatlon lines to the east, and in
this respect are no better off than
Arlington. This is fallacious. The
Dalles, Portland and Astoria Navi
cation Co. has brought to The Dalles
the benefits of all the competing
transportation lines which center at
Portland. The Northern Pacific,
the Southern, the Great Northern
and the Union Pacific, all are COM
peting factors for our. business which
before the institution of the boat
inc was controlled alone by the last
named road.
If the price of wool is to be low
his year, all the more reason why
