HuRRAH FOR sEuFERr.

Hon, F. A. soufert, Of The Dalles.
has laid down some very plain proposl.
tions about the portage railroad the
state of Oregon is going to build.
He says the property owners ALONG
the line of the portage railway are per.
tectly willing TO donate right of wav
TO the state portage railroad.
But the state shall not then turn
around and donate that to the federal
governmen fer canal.
MIR Seufert and all others know that
the delays in building that govern.
ment canal are innumerable. and q
state portage is the only relief
The efforts Of certain great interests
are bent to sidetrac5 the state portaga
and Mr., Seufert does not propose that
the property owners help play that
game
In the language Of Mrs Partington
Mr., Seufert is one OF those men with
little red German blood in his veins
and will not sell his soul for a mess
OF potage. For once the Portland ganp
have got TO stand back. and let the In.
interests OF the producers be nrc
tected.
