HAS SOME OF THE HOG"


We copy elsewhere an article from
the East oregonisn on the "open river
and ''open railway" question. OF course
the able editor well knows that an open
railway to Astoria from the wheat
fields means millions, annually. added
to the wealth OF the Inland Empire
through cheaper charters by reason OF
heavier ship tonnage possible at Astoria
and impossible az Portland. But he is
doubtless hired 10 insist that only an
"open river" would add value 20 the
wheat in the farmers hands. 1t is dol
lars to doughnuis that is the inspiration
OF the article copied.
But the purpose Of copying that article
IS TO show our commercial organizations
how they were led into a trap by the
false clamor against the Astorian about
an open river above Tongue Point. We
simply urged the folly OF wasting money
IN deepening the river to Portland on
the idea Of making It the seaport. We
never opposed appropriations to open the
river so as to bring the farmers products
down All Astorlans favor that propo-
sitlon. 1t would still further cheaper
railway rates from the wheat fields to
the sea, and thus add much to the farm
ers' annual income. We never thought
OF opposing that improvement
But the oregonian and the hirelings Of
the o. r. & N. Co. raised false clamor
that Astoria opposed an open river to the
Inland Empire. Our boards of trade
passed resolutions to refute that idea
only and those hlrelings are now dis
torting that action into confession
that Astoria can never be the seaport
without an "open river"
