In his address yesterday Mr.. Teal !
brought home TO his hearers the fact
the canal will soon be ready and will
be of wonderful Importance not mere
ly to the world at large but to the
state of Oregon and to Umatilla coun-
". The canal will mean hundreds of
thousands of dollars each year to the
people of this county. 1t will en-
able US to reach markets more ad-
vantageously and to get better prices
for our wheat, wool, fruit and other
products. It will mean lower freight
rates on commodities we must buy
from the east. All low grade COM
modities will obtain the advantage of
low water rate and all the people will
profit thereby.
But the influence of the canal will
not stop here. The canal is destined
to have a tremendous influence upon
the social life of the west The ca
nal will bring the Pacific coast into
closer touch with the old wo\ld.
Henceforth all who come seeking
homes in this republic will not come
through the New York gateway. They
will come to the Pacific coast instead
because this is a more productive sec
ton and it is lacking in people. The
canal will make it possible for west

via the canal the cost of travel will
be greatly reduced and all who de-
sire to do so may have the aivantage

and we hardly realize the fact. The

interior ready so that we may obtain
the full advantages of the canal wher
it is put to use. The association de-
serves the support Of everyone with
