The Astorlan is indebted to Senator
Mcbride for a copy OF the letter of the
secretary Of the war transmitting the
report and recommendations Of the
board Of engineers concerning the i'm
provement Of the mouth of the Colum-
bia river. Some admirable arguments
are given why this improvement shou
be made. but 1t is TO be regretted that
a public document of so important a
character should be weakened and
marred by willful or careless inaccuracy
Of statement The tables purporting to
show the imports and exports from the
Columbia river are not only in conflict
with other official statistics published
by the government, but are SO obvious
ly inconsistent with each other as to
be valueless for reference in impress
ing congress with the Importance or de-
sirabllity OF the proposed Improvement.
That the whole subject is treated from
the most ultra Portland standpoint
may be judged from the fragrant viola
ton Of truth and the real facts of the
situation involved in the deliberate as
sertion that while Portland is located
fully 120 miles from the ocean no
delays are experienced by vessels in
getting up and down the river. but all
their vexations detentions are due to
the shoaling of the bar below Astoria.
It is hardly credible that Major Fisk
and Captain Langfitt meant to deliber-
ately lie in their official communications
to the government, but the conclusion
is Irresistible that somebody who has
aided them in their reports did so mean
to do, and the probable explana-
tioa. is that the figures relating to
imports and exports, with other data
used by them, was procured from that
colossal fraud, the Port of Portland
Commission, or its companion in hypoc-
risy and co-worker Of iniquity. the
Portland chamber Of commerce. The
Astorian has an official statement, with
name. tonnage, value Of cargo, destina-
tion, time and cause of detention, OF
every vessel which entered OF left the
Columbia river during the year 1899,
and II the Oregonian makes any foul
reply to this eminently just and moder-
ate criticism Of the rotten rule-or-ruin
commercial ring which controls Port
land, this statement in contrast with
the mis- statements sent to congress
will be printed in pamphlet form and
mailed TO every member and every
committee OF the house and senate in
Washington.

This man Macrum's story is doubt
less either untrue in toto, or it is so
highly colored and exaggerated as to
be entitled to no consideration from
the American public. But suppose his
story is true in every detail, what sort
