The oreEonlan said on Sunday that the
common point lumber rate Is not wanted
by Astoria. except as "a preliminary TO
forcing wheat down the river by rail. -
At other times the sane paper has
charged that the agitation for a common
point at Astoria Is inspired by HammOnd
and In the interest Of his railroad How
unfair and uneandld this argument
against the Astoria common point ls will
occur to every reflective person when It
Is remembered that the common point on
lumber was first asked OF the o. r. a ~.
Company. and the common point on
wheat can al present be granted only
by the same company. How. then. can
the agitation for these concessions be
said 10 favor the A. & C railroad or be
designed to force the o. R. * n. Com
pany to divide Its earnings with the AS
toria road? Doesn't the o. r. & y. Com
pany maintain its own water line 20 As
toria. and would not any common point
1t could make TO Astoria be over It's own
linee Il need not. and probably would
not. divide one penny Of It's earnings with
the A. & =. or any other railroad in or
der TO reach a common point q, Astoria.

The Astoran advocates the closing OF
the Columbia river to ocean vessels be-
tween Astoria and Portland in order TO
compel the loading OF wheat for export
al the former point The Tribune UNDER
stands this TO be the point al issue. II
there Is misunderstanding on our part, II
is as TO which Is the cheaper, rail or water
transportation. and until the Ast0rian
can establish as facts Its assertions that
grain may be transferred from Portland
to Astoria at less cost by rail than by
water. il seems useless TO discuss any
other phase OF the proposition.-Pendle-
ton Tribune.
The Astonan has too high an opinion
OF the fairness and honest disposition Of
the Pendletou Tribune to believe it will
fully misunderstands the point In contro-
.versy between the Astorian and the ore
CONAN. We are rather inclined to think
the Tribune has been misled by some OF
the subsidized statements concerning the
matter which have appeared in other pa
pers The Astorian has never advocated
the closing OF the Columbia river 10 even
ocean vessels between Portland and As
toria and the Tribune may satisfy itself
as to the truth Of this statement by an
examination OF the files OF the paper. 1t
is true. as an incident TO the discussion
Of the main question. the Astorian has
maintained that no public necessity ex-
lists for the creation Of 26-foot channel
in the river TO Portland-a move Portland
has been for some time contemplating,
and, as an argument against future ap-
propriations for such a purpose, the As
torian has stated. and We think proved
10 the satisfaction OF every intelligent
person who has followed the discussion,
that such national appropriations do not
benefit the inland producer, but operate
to his injury in postponing the extension
OF the common point freight rate to As
toria by the o. r. & n. Company. The
wheat will be loaded at the mouth Of the
Columbia sooner or later. no matter how
much water the Port Of Portland COM
mission or the national government sue
ceeds in maintaining in the river. The
Astorian contends. however, that the
present saving TO inland farmers would
be so enormous II the loading were done
here now that It is their duty to insist
upon Il without waiting the slow course
OF its natural occurrence. The Astorian
has repeatedly stated. and latterly accom-
panied the statement with a demonstra-
tiOn. that 100000 at least could be saved
inland producers this season by loading
