What Seattle Is Doing.

Dalles, Or, Chronicle.
Portland is disposed TO find fault with
Seattle because the latter has QUILTED six
men for the Yukon to her one. If she only
knew IL. Portland Is fast losing a trade
more profitable than that OF the Klondike.
Seattle is selling goods in large quantities
IN the Willamette valley, even as far south
as Ashland and the trade Of Eastern ore
gon, Washington and Idaho Is being alb
sorbed by these same Seattle rustlsrs.
They are underseiling and out-generaling
Portland at every turn, ana unless our
metropolis gets move on. the grass will
grow on Front street.
