PACIFIC WHEAT PORTS.

1t may be true, as the Portland Ore
gonian declares, that the Northern Pa
cifc is preparing to build down the CO.
lumbia river 10 the ocean and there cs-
tablish new shipping port for the wheat
Of the interior, but n knowledge OF cond--
tions leads one to doubt the accuracy Of
the statement. For generations Portland
has wanted this done. 1t was gall and
wormwood 10 Portland when the Northern
Pacific built up Tacoma as a great wheat
exporting point. Since then Portland has
fought the Puget sound towns with every
resource at her command but those ports
have grown with marvellous rapidity,
while Portiand's growth has been only Of
fair dimensions.
Portlands chief argument, and one
which has some decided merit. is that the
valley of the Columbia offers water grades
from the wheat regions Of the interior,
regions producing between $4,000 900 and
10000 900 bushels a year, down to tide
water. Portland points out that such
grades make cheaper the cost of transpor-
tation than is possible now. when the
Northern Pacific has to haul its freight
over the high Cascade mountains to Puget
sound. But by means OF improvement in
tracks and better motive power the North
crn Pacific has overcome 10 large eX-
tent, il not entirely, the difference in cost.
Further, it has built up great docks and
warehouses in Seattle and Tacoma, spend
ing millions for the purpose. This does
not look as il it contemplated change
to some new port at the mouth Of the
Columbia river. port which. by reason
of the dreaded Columbia river bar, would
never be harbor equal to those on Puget
sound.
The theory OF water grades is admir-
able, but that it has not worked out to
entire satisfaction is shown by the pres
ent condition OF the wheat shipping trade.
| The Oregon Railway & Navigation COM
| pany for years has used the valley OF the
| Columbia as the route Of its railroad,
while the Northern Pacific has taken the
| mountain climb. For all this, the North
ern Pacific has been getting the business.
Portland would like to see the Northern
Pacific change its main line route, but
there is small chance OF such An altera-
| ton being carried through.

Undoubtedly Mr.. Morgan killed the ship
subsidy bill, and that troublesome bone is
removed from the situation i'll W ashington
this winter. What Mr.. Morgan accom-
pishcd by buying foreign ships out of the
amplitude of his pocketbook, might have
been done through the operations OF a
shipping bill such as was proposed by Sen
ator Frye. That would have speedily en-
larged the American merchant marine, but
not quite SO speedily as Mr.. Morgan has
enlarged it by taking over some of the
large foreign steamship companies. The
fact remains, however that the newly ac-
quircd ships cannot be operated under the
American flag without an act of congress,
whereas under the Frye shipping bill every
new vessel growing out of il would have
been a bona hde addition to the American
fleet OF merchantmen with the many ad-
vantages to the nation which come from
operating American built ships, with Amer
lean crews under the Stars and Stripes.
After all the Frye plan might have been
the better one,

Some interesting facts and alleged facts

wonder when one considers that he Is
the owner of one of the richest placer

When asked if there were any new

stampede to- place about Goo miles be-
low Dawson, which had every appearance

He said that the mines near Dawson

However Mr.. Finlen believes that deer

to get shot. In fact. Mr. Finlen is not
greatly pleased with his luck on the trip.

through the ice and landing in the water
