To change this Iabored metaphor to plain
speech; IL Portland should lose the trade
Of Oregon, its name would be Dennis.
On the other hand, "tap the arteries and
veins half way" and after little com.
mercial rearangement, the rest Of the
state wouldn't notice the difference. Port.
land Is not only not the metaphorieal heart
Of the state, II has none Of its own and
not much Of head. II Is purely com.
mercaI town, made SO by necessity, with.
out any effort Of its own. The rich trade
from the gold fields Of eastern Oregon
which II now receives, was called into ex.
istence by the enterprise Of men from other
cities. Our gold lodges would have re.
mained undeveloped a thousand years
hence had 1t depended on Portland people.
Today II a mining proposition Is placed
before these Portland merchants who are
selling goods In Sumpter, they become
suspicious and act as II the promoter were
trying to sell gold brick" instead Of a
gold mine. We do not love Portland, but
are forced to buy goods there, and wish
with all our heart that the veins and ar.
terirs would be tapped"

pl,iiul appeals to, pleading with and scold.
