PORTLAND, Aug Ito the Editor:
We bestir ourselves very theoretically
every once in q while to comment upon
the obliquity Of Seattle In padding her
clearance reports. We rather sneeringly
refer to the Seattle idea and belittle
that hustitng young town in every way.

Francisco and insinuate that San Fran
ciscos royal welcome to .'our boys" was
not altogether disinterested. Then we
rest from our labors and between maps

sails every two weeks, but does not stop
at Florence. Occasionally, at indefinite
periods. a vessel from portland does make
Florence. but not often enough to be a
factor. Florence draws some few sup
plies from Portland. These goods go
from here to Corvallis by rail. from Cor
wallis to Yaauina bay by another rail
iine and from Yaquina to Florence by
tug. The freight rate via this route
is excessive; consequently Florence does
almost all her buying in San Francisco.

In every way. but the order was lost to
Portland and was placed In San Fran
