Astoria shuld have the same rate as
Seattle and Tacoma, $3.50. and Portland
differentiai OF about 81. making Port
lands rate $3.50 per ton; and the en-
tire state OF Oregon should be able
to know that which Is plainly oregon's
interest. and with these rates eqsit-
ably adjusted the commerce OF Oregon
should be second to none on the Pa
cific coast.

being made BY this state and the gen.
eral government towards opening the
upper Columbia to navigation. and we
heartily approve the action Of the late

There are those who think there is
vice on the Columbia river bar. which
is well maintained and equal to any
on the coast.
Portland and Astoria.
There are thost who think there Ii
a rivalry between these two places
commercially. II this be the fact (which
! know does not exist In this chamber)
would recommend that they get to-
gether as soon as possible.as divided

center and metropolis in Oregon. Port
iand. may your growth be phenomenal!
We mYst have the Columbia river bar
improved so that the largest man-of-
war and the deepest draft ship that
floats can land at Astoria's wharves.
This IL necessary to give Oregon a
national and international footing.
When this end has been attained, then
the Improvement should be continued
until the metropolis Is reached, then
on through the entire length of the Co
iumbia basin. We may then hope to
rejoice in greater Oregon. Astoria
and Portland are both historical and on
the map to stay. They have each
contributed senator to the national
capital. May their labors be har-
monious and in the interests of one
of the best states In the union--ore-
gon.

This chamber should at all times
keep in mind that city without roads
is like wagon without wheels, and
should encourage judicious, but not
extravagant, expenditure of money for
that purpose.

For short time The telegraph ca
BILE between Astoria and Fort Stevens
was broken. which was great detri-
ment TO navigation, but II was soon re-
paired and Is now in good working or
der. This chamber should use Its best
endeayors to have a telegraph cable
connecting Tillamook rock and light
house with Astoria. as II would be a
great benefit to commerce.

Upper HarbOr.

BY examination OF the upper harbor
and channel by this Chamber Of Com
merce on September 22 Il was found
a channel was making from near
beacon No. 2 on direct line to Tongue
Point, which will be a great advantage
to our harbor and navigation, as 1t In
creases the current and consequently
keeps silt from settling in the channel
Of the upper harbor, This channel
should be encouraged and the chamber
should insist on having the same buoy
ed and improved, II being the natural
channel that was used for navigation
In 1916 and the one that would best
subserve the interests and navigation OF
the Columbia between Astoria and
Portland, No language can be too
strong in condemnlng the present
waste of money in trying to make q
channel across sand bars and current
to the detriment Of this community and

Common Point

Astoria as commercial city is en-
titled to common point rate on wheat
and other produce, with Seattle and
Tacoma, The Columbia river is the
natural outlet for the commerce of the
Columbia basin, The distance from
the wheat center, Pendleton, to Tacoma
is $50 miles; to Seattle, S51, both over
mountains: to Astoria, S14 miles, on a
water level, where you can haul three
times as many cars with one engine
as you can to Seattle or Tacoma. The
distance is 214 miles to Portland.
Freight from Pendleton to either Sc
attle, Tacoma or Portland is about
sS so per ton; to Astoria, about $3.50

Fishing industry.

The fishing industry Is In its in
fancy, Propagation is an undisputed
success. and. with judicious manage
ment and liberal appropriations, / can
see no reason why we should not con-
troll the salmon market of the world.
Salmon by propagation should be made
so plentiful that fisherman could
make more money selling his catch for
. cents per pound than he can now for
6 cents. When this is accomplished,
with our commercial advantages, no
other place can compete with our fish,
cries. With this end In view, every
thing possible should be done to keep
our waters uncontaminated and pure.

careful watch over this industry.
