The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1899-10-15

Having shown that Astoria as the
chief seaport would add the greatest
value to our exports in the hands Of
the producers, wish now to show that
it would make Portland the chief city
Of the Pacific coast, rapidly increasing
Its trade and population and quickly
doubling all OF it's real estate values.
our people fear 1t would ruin the
trade and growth of our city making
1t the abode OF bats and owls. How?
Why, they say ii would cause the loss
OF some $50 foreign ships from our
wharves, with resulting loss Of at
least $780, 900 Of ship chambers trade
annually. And so It would. II we do
nor do IT, however, our city viii become
a mera halfway station on the route
from the Willamette valley to Seattle
as the chief seaport. But let us inquire
what compensation to Portland there
would be for that serious substraction
from our local trade. We have seen
from my previous letters that It would
add annually at least some $3.50 per
ton to the values of the wheat product
OF this basin IN THE HANDS OF THE
PRODUCERS. With a million and
half (estimated) tons Of wheat, annu-
ally, this means nearly four million dol +.
lars Of wealth each year added to the
pockets of the farmers who trade in
Portland. This wealth would percolate
all the avenues Of life among popu-
latlon Of say, two millions. It would
add to the general prosperity and, un-
like the ship chandlery, its beneficial

Astoria is the seaport Of Oregon. 1t
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 water
shed to the sea till cars may go through
10 Astoria without trans shipment and
the rehandling Of their contents. Then
We shall have an advantage in the COM
mon railway rate to the seabOard. for
there will be no account of river
charges thereafter, though many ships
may still go to Portland. But till this
shall be accomplished, there will al
ways be a ground for discrimination
against this route. which it will be nec-
essaTy to meet and cover through va
rious methods OF lndirection. A rail-
road to Astoria is not a Portland, nor
an Astoria scheme, but an Oregon
scheme, using the term Oregon In the
large sense formerly embraced int
geographical expression when Oregon
included the Pacific Northwest OF the
United States.-The Oreg1nian, Oct. 19.
1894.
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1899-10-15

A Reader wants to know why the
Astorian alleges the ".futility Of at
tempts to hold the seaport Of the Col
umbia a hundred miles inland" and
then negatives its allegation by conced-
ing the supremacy Of Portland as the
leading city Of the Northwest" The
Oregonian is unable to answer. A CO.
nundrum is usually troublesome to
everybody but the propounder. Posi-
big the admission Of Portland's leader
ship was due to a fit Of abstraction
while watching ships on the way up the
Columbia. But nothing more to Port
l..ds credit has been said than that, in
spite Of natural and insurmountable
conditions, rendering competition for
ocean tonnage impossible" this city
has achieved the supremacy Of the
Northwest" Verify. the term moss
back" as applied to Portland, is obso-
lete. They who attain the impossible
and surmount the insurmountable are
the hustlers of the wOrld.-The orego-
nian, Oct IA. 1899.

these sums would not be distributed
among the people and the trade OF
Eddy and vicinity II there were no

MED a cash market for very profit-
able crop. and agricultural endoavor
would be forced into another line OF
effort. But Eddy has the factory, and
the result Is that the sums mentioned
will be paid out on She 18th OF every
month during tho campaign. Farm
ers arc guaranteed a crop that can be
raised and sold with certainty and
profit, ana the agricultural ana trade
interests are founded upon a substan-
tiai and unchanglng foundation.

FARNTvILI,E CAN'T FILL RE-
QUESTS FOR FEMALE m
STRUCI0RS.

Richmond Dispatch: The fact that |
here is a greater demand for female
teachers than the State Female Normal
School is able to supply is brought TO-
light by the report OF Hon. Robert a
Eurnbull, president OF The Board Of
Trustees, received at the governors OF
fec yesterday.
TIC report states that this fall, Tor
the Grst tiioo in iho school, history, it
has been totally unable 10 supply the
requests received for teachers. This IS
naturally regarded as tribute to the
excellence Of the school.
The report says that it IS now lie
policy to gr mt as tuition to al 5irs
wlo will ag.oc 10 teach il the public
schools of the State. In this way it is
hoped th.,t The demand tor tanned
teachers may be supplied.
Tho report covers the sessions OF
1S97-0S End 1S9S-99. The enrolment
for the term Of 1S97-'99 was $50; for
! l898.'90 was $40. The falling oft is
stated to be due to the increased
rieidity of the entrance examination.
The report expresses regret that the
counties of the State are not more uni
fo,mly represented in the school,
During The session of 1807-'08 students
| were present from So counties and 6
cities; at the last session CT counties
and 10 cities were represented. Stu
dents were also present from Alabama
Mississippi, North Carolina, and Penn
sylvania.
The course Of study has recently un
dergone several changes, so that thu
| following courses are now offered. Ih'
normal course, which gives two years t.
the usual public school branches, witt
added work ia Latin, history, mahemat
les, biology, chemistry, and physlei

An APPLE GROWING STATE.

The chapter on h~.t-growlng viii
orsr the eyes oim2ny to the import
anco Of this iudustyy, and will show
that many Of he orchards in this State
make annually small fortunes for their
owners. The commissioner thinks that
in ten years Virginia viii be the great
est apple-growing State IN the Unlon'
The trouble at present seems to be
that tae trees aJe not taken proper care
of. If spraying WAS in general use III
this State asst is in others, the yield OF
many orchards would be increased 20
Der cent and the fruit therefrom would
be Of q quGlity to command the highest
market prices. The commissioners re-
port gives formulas for the preparation
OF sprays, and explains how and when
thev should be used.
Since Mr.. Koiner has been setting
forth the advantages of Virginia as n
fruit growing state several men OF
means from beyond her borders have
purchased land in tho State on which
to set ont trees.
The chapter on dairying also show
that Virginia farmers are losing thu
lads Of dollars in neglecting this in
portant branch Of their farm-rork
Toe fact is pointed out that export
butter and cheese is sent through
Virginia from other States, to DO load
ed Oh vessels at Norfolk and Newport
News. This trade, the commissioner
holds, should be supplied by our own
farmers, who can make as good export
butter and cheese as is manufactured
IN ether States more remote from sea-
port towns. In making export butter,
a different process is used from that
employed in Pieparing the product for
home consumption. The farmers could
be aa8A5 this by means CT bulletins
On the subject, and tie holding Of
tanners Institutes, at which men who
nave ma5o.a success tio busine5s
couldi4plain it. Of couFse, this would
require the expenditure Of some money
but the commissioner thinks as long as
tho farmers bear the gleutbuIden OF
taxation, tho State could afford to ap-
rroDralo 5ne 6f'ryI4 revenues to a
department, the business Of which is
to look after the agricultural interests.
The farmers would derive. the direct
benefits from the money SO expended.
