There Is no good reason why a COM

titled to It, Il is to the interest Of Port

Two millions Of dollars per year to the
farmers on one item OF produce Is a large
sum and will greatly Affect che general
business Of large city situated at the

Il costs the railroads no more 10 haul
down the Columbia river TO It's mouth
than across the mountains to the Sound.
Why. then, should they have a local rate
from Portland added to the common point

The reason may be that one Of the Sound
roads controls the o.R& y. Company and
will not allow It TO carry on equal terms
with che roads running to the sound ports,
thus giving the Columbia river the Senent
OF Its natural advantages.
II this be the true explanation. then the

II Is a good time TO press on the
sensorium OF Portland the fact. never
perhaps sufficiently understood here.
that the advantages Of the gateway
OF the Columbia riyer over every other
route from the interior TO the coast,
never win be fully asserted and esiab-
lished till 4 railway be built along
the river from Portland TO Astoria, so
that the doctrine OF common points
may be made to tell in our favor. with
all its proper force.
The several railways will always
maintain common rates. i, Is law Of
their existence that combination. as
ISOLATION or agreement must exist
among them. Else they would destroy
each other. Though vessels from the
sea come to Portland. Portland does
not get the practical beneht Of the
seaboard rate on the products OF the
Interior. because there Is yet another
charge. to be met somehow, before
the seaboard is reached. This has at
times been covered in various ways,
but II always exists. The railways
cannot disagree. But under their
general agreement delivery may be
made from the interior to Astoria as
well as to Portland. whenever a rail-
way line shall be extended TO Astoria.
This not only will meet the rivalry.
but will establish an advantage for
the Columbia river over Puget Sound;
and It is the only way to get H. TIL
this road shall be built. whatever re-
ductlon may be made 10 Portland
from the interior will be made also
from the interior 10 Puget Sound; and
the transport from Portland to Astoria
will still be a residual quantity. or re-
malnder
II has always seemed TO US tnat
there were persons in Portland who
did not rightly comprehend this i'm
portant fact. Though vessels may
come and do come 10 Portland, yet
Portland is not on the seabOard' TIL
the common point for our great
route OF commerce. the point in com
mon recognized by the railways, shall
be actually at the sea. We shall not
get the full advantages OF our position.
When. however, We get that common
point extended on the map. We shall
have advantages over any other COM
mercial position in the Northwest. be-
cause our chief competitors are not
on the sea, but 10 miles from It.
This is an unansweraDle argument
for the Astoria railroad. and It is an
argument for Portland as well as for
Astoria. sull, however, the snip
channel up to Portland will be
needed, and more than ever; but the
Astoria road putting the common
point" on another basis. will regulate
the rate from the interior, giving
Portland. Astoria and all Puget Sound
points the same quotations. Thls
with our advantages OF water level
route from the interior, will settle the
problem in favor Of oregon.

IAN OREGON. SCHEME.
oregonlan, October 70, 1894.

Oregonian, October lg, 1894.
Astoria is the seaport Of Oregon. It
always will be the seaport of oregon.
Nature has so ordered It that the state
can have no other great seaport, no
other considerable seaport. We shall not
get the best results from shipping the
products Of the Columbia watershed 10
the sea til Oars may 80 through to As
toria without trans-shipment and the re-
handling Of their contents. Then We shall
have an advantage IN the common rail-
way rate to the seaboard, for there will
be no account Of river charges thereafter,
though many ships may still go to Port
land But till this shall be accomplished,
there will always be a ground for dlscrim-
ination against this route, which it will
be necessary to meet and cover through
various methods Of lndirection. A rail-
road TO Astoria Is not Portland, nor an
Astoria scheme, but an Oregon scheme,
using the term oregon in the large sense
formerly embraced In the geographical
expression when oregon included the Pa
clfic northwest Of the United States.

THE ASTORIA COMMON POINT.

The oregonian Is no, discussing the
common point question fairlye
In one issue 1t says that the question is
one for the railroads to settle.
In another issue it says riveS transpor-
,atlou between Portland and Astoria is
cheaper than rail.
In sim another. that common point
would not benefit Astoria II extended
here. because that would leave Portland
an interior place. which would command
a less rate still
Vow suppose Portland did get a lower
rate than the common point rate. would
mat be any harm to the state? The AS
torian thinks not: but this is not the
point at issue. The matter at issue just
now Is shall there be tair field for COM.
petition between the pori--or ports. II the
oregonian will have it that way-of the
Columbia river and the Sound?
Common point has nothing to do with
the cost between Portland and Astoria.
The ends Of railroads on the seaboard are
called common points and have the same
rate. irrespective of distance.
Tacoma. Seattle and Portland were
given the same rate on freight from GER
tain interior points, because each was at
the end of a road and a deep water ship
ping point.
Astoria was not included because the
transportation companies said Cthey being
raiD that they could not include water
lines. At that time Astoria had no rail-
road Now II has. and this road runs into
the same depot with all roads entering
Portland. SO that It completes an all rail
line from all interior rail points in oregon
and Washington to the seaboard on the
Columbia river and right on the Pacific
ocean.
Under the custom and usual rules Of
transportation companies the common
point rate allowed to the Sound ports
should be awarded to Astoria at the
mouth Of the Columbia.
The Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern charge nothing for hauling
grain from Seattle to Tacoma and vice
versa from the interior points, yet the
distance between Seattle and Tacoma Is
about fl miles. 1t is said that the North
ern Pacific even hauled grain from these
two ports to Portland last winter, dis
tance of lS7 and 14G miles respectively,
for nothing.
The transcontinentad roads are now
hauling hops from chicago to New York
1000 miles-for nothing-or in consider
alton OF the carriage they get from the
Pacific coast states to Chicago. That is,
the rate from the interior point to the
common point on the Atlantic seaboard
is the same. irrespective of distance or
grades
The question of cost to the road is not
