The return of Columbus to the city of
Barcelona after the first voyage of dis
covery, which Triumphant event took
place 400 years ago and was made the
occasion for the grandest pageant in The
history Of the world, has been seized upon
by the manager OF the greatest show on
earth as the subject for reproduction in
the great free street parade. 1t proves to
be u wonderful spectacle of men, women,
children. horses, elephants, wild beasts,
chariot, cars and floats. Columbus him
self, as well as scores of other characters
famous in the annals of the time, are ;ill
truthfuIly represented costumed in the
same rich manner then in vogue, in royal
robes of state, on horseback surrounded
with their escorts, in costly uniforms, Singly
and in groups, and in picturesque and
charming style, and 81! historically correct
Preceding this portion of the pageant
is one of the most magnificent sights
Imaginable, that of a wondrous team of
forty fine bay horses, driven by one
man. Preceding the Columbus portion OF
the procession are rare displays of open
chariots, containing the splendid Zooiogi-
cal collection, followed by twenty-four
elephants; the allegoricaI chariots, iiiustrat-
ing nursery rhymes and cbiidren's fairy
stories The whole affair is new, grand
and inspiring, and utterly unlike those
free street paratles Offered by little shows
having nothing but ''qneer" material.

WHAT Is THE MATTER WITH
PORTLAND?

An editorial in yesterdays oregonlan
says;
Norfolk. Va. Is becoming a port OF
some Importance. Its shipments are
increasing. as the country round about
1T slowly develops; but II is 50 over
"shadowed by Baltimore. which has the
advantage OF situation at the head OF a
great bay. which brings ships far into
"the land. that It probably never will
become a great port. Baltimore's sit
"uation. moreover has given that city
"an extended railway system, and her
importance is a striking illustration
"ot the universal law OF commerce, that
ships will always go inland as far as
1T Is practicable Otherwise there
"would be a great city at the capes OF
Virginia"
In another item on the same page,
after quoting portion Of the decision OF
the United States supreme court in the
noted quadrant case, in which Astoria
is referred to as a port on the Pacific
ocean at the mouth of the Columbia
river" a distance from Portland OF
l2S% miles and being over 100 miles or
80 on beyond Forest Grove" the follow
Ing comment is made;
surely the hope Is a pardonable one
that the supreme court had clearer
vision Of the law In the case than It
had OF Portlands situation on the Col
"umhia, and the location of Astoria 100
miles or so of beyond Forest Grove
"Chief Justice Fuller, by whom the
"oplnion is written, should take trip
Ito Oregon, or buy copy of the Ore
"gonian atlas"
1t will occur to all who are acquaint-
ed with the respective locations Of Bal
timore and Norfolk that somebody in
the Oregonlan office is as badly In need
OF n little geographical instruction as
Chief Justice Fuller. OF course the
worm l. the bud OF the supreme court
opinion Is Mr.. Justice Fuller's unkind
reference to Portland as town sltu-
ated l2S miles away from the ocean,
while the point in the editorial is that
Portland, like Baltimore, is also a
striking illustration of the universal
law OF commerce. that ships will always
SO as far inland as practicable" Aside
from the question Of the existence of
any such universal" law Of commerce
as the oregonian refers to, the Astorian
believes the writer Of that article knows
quite as well as anybody that his at
tempt to liken Portland as an inland
seaport to Baltimore is supremely ridic-
ulous. There is vast difference be-
tween Baltimore at the head of great,
deep inland sea, such as the Chesa-
peake really is, in its relation with Nor

direction as Baltimore is in the right

IN regard 10 the incrt afcd cost by
'dse9 draught vessels when on con-
"tacted inland waters. Col f. L. cor
"thell, the associate "a Col. Fades on
The Misslssippi jetties. thth writes in
"a paper 20 the canadlen Society of
"ciyll Engineers: NO narrow channel

the wants OF commerce. Careful in
"yestlgatIon has made II evident that
nothing but unrestricted channels Of
the very largest dimensions for laden
VESSELS Of large tonnage, will at all
compare with the advantages Of trans
DortaiIon by rail, particularly in the
United States and Canada
I'm these narrow channels. besides
the necessary reduction OF speed. the
Vessels do not steer we'll whenever a

care is required to avoid the edges Of
the channel II has been necessary 70
widen the suez canal 10 s25 feet. and
the Baltimore ship channel to coo feet.
The advocates Of bringing ocean vcs-
''sels inland are constantly losing sight
"of the important difference between
such navigation and that on the free
ocean. BY free ocean service. the
costs at times get as low as less than
zone mill per ton mile. But such an
ocean vessel has spent "a hours in go
ling ia miles inland to Portland; or
nearly 20 hours Of actual towing time.

altered mode Of navigation. add 20
