HAMMOND ASKS FOR FAIR PLAY,
In a Letter in Yesterdays oregonian
He Points Out the mconsist-
encies OF Portland's
Position.

PORTLAND. Nov. 12-CTo the Ed
itor.)-My letter contained in your is
sue Of November is confined to the
consideration Of a transportation prob
lem. It shows that the presidents Of
two transcontinental railroads have
conceded the merit Of our contention
and were willing to extend common
rates to Astoria and to the mouth Of
the Columbia river. In the last para
graph Of that letter are to be found
questions regarding our claim. that are
directed to the management Of our only
remaining transcontinental railroad.
These questions are as follows:
Would It not be for the interest Of
Oregon generally. and to the western
portion particularly, II common rates
be extended to the mouth Of the Colum-
bia river? Are not the rates now
charged by the railroad companies suf-
ficiently liberal to justify the delivery
Of our products at the cheapest ocean
port without any additional compensa-
ton? Are not the views Of the Ore
gonian. Mr.. Huntington. Mr.. Mellen and
Mr.. Hill more progressive and more to
the interests Of the people Of Oregon.
by affordlng cheaper export facilities.
than are the views Of those respected
citizens Of Portland. who. through ap-
prehension that their individual inter
ests may be jeopardlzed. seemingly OPP
pose all extension and enlargement of
our commerce. if conducted upon new
lines not heretofore followed?
These are primarily transportation
questions. and must not be lodged. evad-
ed. suppressed or obscured by the in
lection Of other extraneous matter.
Though hardly incumbent. reply in
a general way, only, to correspondents.
They must not entertain an opinion
that the builders Of the Astoria road are
complaining or offering apologies for its
existence. We have no complaint tc
make nor apology to offer. My allusion
to editorials contained in the Oregonian
to the resolution passed by the Port
land chamber of commerce, and tc
opinions Of Mr.. Huntington, Mr.. Meller
and Mr.. Hill was merely for the pur-
pose of giving answer to coordinate
subject matter, which has been improp-
erly injected. According to Mr.. Hughes
the aforesaid editorials, resolution and
opinions do not count for much. The
chamber may expunge the said reso'
luton. which was passed at a specia
meeting composed of 2l4 members, bu

land or elsewhere to furnish the needed
capital for its construction. We do
know that Mr. Huntington extended the
Central Pacific railroad from its org
inal terminus at Sacramento 10 the
ocean at San Francisco. and the Chesa-
peake & Ohio railroad from its original
terminus at Richmond TO the ocean at
Newport News. Does anyone question
his wisdom in doing so? We do know
that Mr.. Mellen's views accord with
policy that has extended a common
point to the entire west coast OF Wash
Notwithstanding the commerce Of
Puget sound 100 per cent. while that
Of Portland has remained almost sta
tionary. We do know that Mr.. Hill Is
building two S4.O0O-ton ships-not 27.OOV,
as stated in my letter-and that his
company in every way favors the deep
water ports Of Puget Sound In compe-
tition with the Columbia river.
How clear and convincing is the ar
gument of a prominent member OF the
chamber OF commerce and the port Of
Portland. which shows that Portland,
among her past sins OF commission. had
forced a ruinous policy upon the o. r.
& n. Co. by breaking the joint lease.
(which would have given Portland un-
disputed control Of the Northwest. as
well as the Oriental trade, and left the
Sound without a Tacoma. and probably
without a Seattle" VIII not the refusal
Of the o. R. & y. Co. to extend COM
mon rates to Astoria still further con-
tribute TO the growth Of Puget sound
ports TO the detriment Of Portland and
the whole Columbia river valley?
The following quotations are familiar
at least to all members Of the 1894
chamber Of commerce; they are as true
and sufficient today as they were when
uttered. They are suggested as appro-
pirate answers to friendly correspon-
dents:
I'VE shall have the Columbia River
railroad to Astoria. which will place our
railway common point at the sea-
board" "The advantage of the gate
way Of the Columbia river over every
other route from the interior to the
coast never will be fully asserted and
established till a railroad be built along
the river from Portland to Astoria. 50
that the doctrine Of common point
may be made to tell in our favor with
all IFS proper force" Though vessels
may come and do come. to Portland,
yet Portland is not on the seaboard.
Till the common point for our great
route of commerce. the point in COM
mon recognized by the railways. shall
be actually at the sea, we shall not
get the full advantages Of our position -
This is not Portland scheme, nor an
Astoria scheme, but an Oregon
scheme"
Let Portland deepen her channel to
any depth she may desire. but let not
her citizens needlessly antagonize the
producer and unwisely retard the
states growth by supporting and ad-
vOcating the policy pursued by the on
Ily transportation company now oppos-
ing the extension Of common rates tc
the mouth Of the river.
