Poor. slow going, Jealous, old Portland!
Some OF The travelling men have been
telling her merchants of the tremendous
volume OF business in Clondyke Quitting
done in Seattle during the past three
weeks. Their convictions 30 forcibiy and
confidently spread out In the columns or
the oregonian. have received a rude
shock. and Portland Is really about TO adj
nit that as far as the Alaska trade is con-
cerned. she might as wei, be in the mid
die OF Kansas as on the banks OF the
placid Willamette, whose bosom IS never
ruffled by ships of such large draught as
are seen every month Of the year on Pu-
get sound.
Two Portland men sat I'm the lobby Of
a downtown hotel last night discussing
the CIondyke boom and the revival OF bus
mess on the Sound. Said one:
There's no use further denying the
fact that Seattle today is a much better
town to do business In than Portland. The
contrast between the two cities is marked.
This is the best town. There's more life
here. more snap and push and enterprise.
The Alaska trade? Why. it's all here
the little that is divided between San
Francisco and Portland could be multi
piled several times ber7re IL would equal
the Quitting done In Seattle
Here is one of the stories told to the
Portland merchants BY = travelling man
that spends much Of his time In the city
by the Willamette:
over there in Seattle the other day
went into an Quitting and johblng house
carrying goods in my line. The doors
were locked and on the inside was big
crowd of people buying outfits for the
Clondyke. AS soon as these customers
were waited on. ansther mob was let in
and the doors again locked. And they kept
II up till midnight
This might have sounded like a fairy
tale to the Portland people, but it was al
most literally true To give one a clear.
conservative idea Of the volume OF bust
mes done here IL is only necessary TO say
that the dozen or more Quitting houses
OF the city have nearly doubled their
working forces and have kept running
day and night for three weeks past.

MOORE MOURNED
Regret Expressed for His Attack on
America

WORCESTER, Mass, Oct. I'm view
of the comment occasioned by the dis
covery that the name of Thomas Moore
was omitted from the roll of poets in
the congressional library on the ground
that he bitterly attacked America, and
particularly Thomas Jefferson, a letter
written by Moore in 1916, twelve years
after his American poems were pub
lshed, to the editor of the Philadelphia
Portfolio, is of great interest in showing
the poets change OF attitude. The orig
ir'al letter is in the possession of Senator
George Hoar who has given it to the
Worcester Gazette for publication. II.
this letter the poet says:
This life is just long enough to COM
nit errors in, but too short to allow us
time to repair them, and there are few
of cny errors I regret more sincerely
than the rasfness l was guilty of in
publishing those crude and bearish IL
rades against the Americans My serti-
ments, both with respect to the national
and individual character, are much
changed since then, and l should blush,

mented tonnage was 5,539,312 tons, on

is the largest annual output since 1891
The tonnage registered for foreign trade
