Milton Eagle;
So much has been said recently by
the newspapers of the Northwest against
Astoria and in favor of Portland that
the Eagle also desires to give It's read
ers the benefit of its observations and
conclusions regarding the subject Of an
open river to the sea- Now the people
Of Astoria are not combating the prop
ositlon of an open river as our friends
of the Portland press would have In

contrary are doing all in their power
