ing Of the Columbia, being the manager
Of the d. p. Thompson estate, and hav-
ing, so to speak, water on the brain.
His father was a pioneer worker and
fighter for the construction of the locks
at Oregon City. Mr.. Teal is man Of
great ability as an organizer and is
throwing his heart and soul into the
BREAKING OF THE EMBARGO
LAID ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF
THIS STATE BY THE HILL INFLU-
ENoEs TO THE NORTH, that have
dictated TO Hartman that he shall
build no branch lines Of railroad in
Oregon. In the Chamber Of Commerce
work Teal is a host and is gathering
vital statistics that win finally compel
hearing for the interests Of Oregon.
/ II this state had more men Of this
stamp, II would be better of. This re-
minds me that in the Legislature of
1895 Mr.. Teal was member of com
mittee that came before that body and
made arguments for an appropriation
for state portage railway. 1 support
ed the bill and voted for IL, and was
roasted for extravaganza by some Of
my gentlemen colleagues. The same
men are now ready to swear the port
age road is all right, and so am !.

The Pendleton East oregonian don't
like the way the program was handled
at the opening of the Lewis and Clark
fair, saying in substance that the rest
of the state was not recognized by the
Portland crowd. Here is what It says;
"In the ceremonies attending the re-
ception and escort Of the vice-president
there is said TO have been a noticeable
absence Of prominent men and officials
Of the state outside Of Portland. Vice
President Fairbanks was met and es'
corted through the city by Director
Goode, OF the fair association. NEI.
THEIR GOVERNOR CHAMBERLAIN,
PRESIDENT MYERS OR ANY 9TH
Err MEMBERS OF THE ooAnus-
SION ASIDE FROM THOSE IN
PORTLAND WERE THERE. Senator
Fulton, who rode Ia the last carriage,
is said TO have been almost the only
prominent representative from outside
Of Portland.
Considerable criticism is being ex'
pressed over the apparent desire of the
Portland crowd to leave the rest Of the
state out Of tho proceedings, and, un'
less the policy is soon changed, il is
feared the quarrel will have a bad ef-
feet on the success of the exposition.
From all accounts, the state commits
sion has little to say in the arrange
ments, although the state really
financed the project by giving 100000
at-the start. In view of this, the opin'
ion is being expressed that Governor
Chamberlain, as the executive officer Of
the state, should have been shown
somo consideration"
The above should not distress the
brother from the COW county east Of
the Cascades. The people from the in
terror Of the state are no more to Port
land than the people Of Idaho or Wash
ington or Montana, except when they
want things from the legislature. ons
Portland newspaper never copies any
thing from a country paper unless il
be something ridiculous, that can be
held up to the derision Of the rest Of
the world, as though the people OF the
interior were A LOT OF YAHooS,
WITH HORNS ON THEIR HEADS
AND RATrLEs ON THE ENDS OF
THEIR TAILS. Portland is the great
metropolis of four states, and has TO be
strictly impartial towards the people
Of all Of them. Even the use Of large
sums Of Oregon railroad earnings to
build tracks in Nevada, Utah, Idaho
and Washington does not distress them
1t is all to make Portland the Boston
Of the Northwest, and state pride does
not enter into the matter. Oregon will
develop anyhow and oregonians are
only filters. Chamberlain was on the
program, and the cadets Of the Wash
ington Agricultural College marched
where the brave boys of the Oregon
Corvallis college, who made the Second
Oregon famous in the Philippine cam
paigns, should have marched,
The people Of Oregon are only filters
for the great Unsuitable nav Of Port
lands commercial ambition. THK
