In the Tap Root of an Oak,

remember curious incident con-
nected with the tap root of an oak.
This oak. a good tree of perhaps 300
years growth. was being felled at
Brakeman wood when the woodmen
called attention to something peculiar
on the tap root. On clearing this OF soil
we found that the object was horse
shoe of ancient make. Obviously in
the beginning an acorn must have fall
en- into the hollow of this cast shoe. and
as it grew through the slow genera
tions the root filed up the circle. car
rying it down into the earth in the
process of its increase till at length we
found wood and iron thus strangely
welded. That tap root with the shoe
about it is now or used to be a paper
weight in the vestibule of Brakeman

this combination is enabled by reason
OF these appropriations to exact over
$4,000 more money in freight tarirts
| from inland producers than is a reason
able compensation for the transportation
Of the wheat OF Oregon and Washington.
and that besides its extortion OF this
extra freight money. the members Of the
railroad combination share directly and
indirectly in an immense wheat pool or
ganized and maintained by the wheat
buyers OF Puget sound and Portland, all
OF which nefarious operations depend
solely for their success upon the govern
ment appropriations to open the sand
bars between the railroad terminals at
the Columbia river jetty and the interior
point OF Portland. The Astorian con-
tends. in other words, that a public
enemy is abroad in Oregon and Washing
ton and Is engaged in footing and deyas-
tating the product Of the toll Of thou
sands Of American citizens. ana that this
enemy is enabled to carry on its scheme
OF plunder only through the support of
federal appropriations. Now. the States
man will admit, II these assertions are
true. 1t is the duty Of every independ-
ent paper in the northwest 10 unite in
breaking up this organized raid upon the
public treasury. The oregonian ignores
these charges. although that paper knows
the truth of them as well as we do.
That paper has been challenged again
and again TO publish these charges and
give the Astorian space to prove them.
1t refuses utterly to do so. and seeks TO
suppress the circulation Of the charges
and dlscredlt our efforts to bring them to
public attention by saying they are in
spired by town-lot boomers at Astoria. !
We ask the Statesman for fairer treat
ment. II there is no truth in what we |
have asserted, let the Statesman put US
to the test upon 1t. II our assertions are
true, they demand public attention. and
every newspaper Of good standing in
Oregon should aid in their dissemination.
We await an expression from the States
man on the subject.
The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1899-03-21

The Salem Statesman cannot aid the
Yaqulna bay improvement by standing
in with Portland on the 25-foot channel
chimera. Portland no more wants va
Quina bay improved than she is willing
10 have Astoria become the seaport Of
the Columbian basin. The Statesman
probably believes that the governments
expenditure Of quarter Of million Of
dollars this year in dredging cut the Co
lumbia river between Astoria and Port
land will benefit the inland producer.
This is a fatal error. It is pity that a
paper Of the sense and influence of the
Statesman can be fooled that way. There
could be no more fragrant misuse of pub
lie funds than these appropriations for
increasing the so-called ship channel TO
Portland. Instead Of helping the inland
producer, they operate to depreciate the
market for his wheat more than $3.50
ton, and enable the railroad and wheat
speculators' pool of Portland to pocket
that difference out Of the producers
earnings. This is no idle assertion. II
the Statesman doubts it, let that paper
reproduce this charge from the Astorlan
and offer US its columns to prove it. The
Astorian can show that Portland practl-
cally monopolizes Oregon's share OF the
federal appropriations for rivers and
harbors, and that the immense sums 50
obtained not only enter no permanent i'm
provements which might tend In the long
run to benefit the people Of Portland. but
they are entirely squandered in dredging
operations on the bars of the Columbia
river which have to be repeated after
each annual freshet We further charge
that through these appropriations great
and iniqultous railroad combination is
perpetuated in the northwest, contrary
TO the public interest. That this rail-
road combination would be impossible
