An 8AN Fraxoisco, Fobruary 18 —In upite «f many evidences of growth and eager life, there are people on this aonst who prediot that San Francisoo hs already seen ita bost daye; that its rivals to the north—Portland or Seat- tle —will ou'str/p itin the race and will ullimately wreat from It the com- mercial supremacy of the Paaifio. Portland especially takes much stock in these predictions. A c'ty of 60,000 people, its growth within the last five years has been even more marvelous than that of San Francisco. Northern Paclfic, which will be com. p!und by pext September, will bring it in direct eonuoc.ion with the east. It already talks of lince of steamers ;| running direct to China and Japsn, It is reschivg out in every direotion for trade, and i's merchan's are aided by the railroad which does not believe in pureuing the polioy that hasmade thé Contral and Southern Pacifio railroads hated in this state. Everything bids fair to mako Portland a geeat oy, but it 1s as 1dle to call her a rival f San Franclsco as it would be to apesk of rivalry between Now York and Paila- delphia, or between St, Louls and New Orleaus, New York and St. Louls have the advantages of posi'ton and ¢ f size, and eviry year will witness a rapld increase in their growth. crease out of all proportion to ti any smaller city with less advantages. 8o it is with San Francisco, It has a 1, [ position on the direct line of trade from the Orient. It Is the distributirg point for much ot the South American and Mexican trade, and for no small part of that which goes to Australia and the S>uth Saa Islands. It will take a great deal to remove thia trade, erpecially when one remembers that this is the only good harber un the Pacific with the exception of sev- eral on Puget Sound. And right here comes in the chiof drawback to Port- land. I's bar will always be a grea' check to commerce. It is so rough that steamera frequently lie-to for several days before the sea is sinooth enough to venture In, while ships fre- quently cruise on and off the mouth of the great river for a week or ten days, vainly secking an epportunity to cross ihe treacherous bar. There would be millions 1n it for Portland it some syetem for dredgirg out tho bar could be devised., But the pros- pect of such an ongineering teat is very gloomy. Without it Portland is destined to see a rival to the north— one of the new cities on the shore f Puget Sound —surpass it in sfz3 and commercial importance. A J OURNALISTIC EXPLOIT. Portland, in the meantime, is grow- into Jack’s bean-stalk. I:is puttiog up more costly business blocks than 8an Fraucisoc; it preading out in all direotio nd taking on the aire of a metropolie. It ha lately gpdded to its outfit a new duily Ppaper, an el hl page sheet of about the #iz3 cf the dlanapolis J urnsl. It means lome- thing to start a new daily in Portland. For thirty years the proprietors of the Oregonian had had a virtual monopoly of the newspaper business in the northwest. They had control «f the Associnted Press dispatches, which they farmed out to small newspapers in other cities, baY, cf course they gave no faci'iiies to any journal that could prove a rival or was un- friendly to them. Thus Fortland was completely in their powes They owned stock in nearly all local cor. poratious aud had a finzer in every political job. Bat overmuch power turced thelr heads, Th.y waxed in solent, and were so domincerlueg that they aliouated ever;ane save those di- rectly dependent uron them. Their basinces did not #: ff'or, because there was no reeoircz f ¢ those whom they bulldczad bat o patronizs them They even weat so far a8 1o alienate the Norther: Pucific rallroad and makean ac'ive enemy of this power- fol corporation. The last straw which broke th . camel's back was the paper’s bitter o position to Mitchell for Uni- 1ed 8 atos senator. He had a strong body of partisans and they cast about * for some means of revenge. They f und the means {n a young atd en- terprising newapsper man, Nathan Osle, Jr, @& son of ex. Congressman Cole, of 8t. Louls, He had started a dally paper in Los Angeles nnder the ex- pectation that the rapld growth of the city would.insure good business sup- port to the new venture, althou h three other dailies were already the field. He made & gocd pnper. but was compelled to -all out to his p-nner, with whom he ocould not Then bo started 1n after & hw mopths with a new paper, of which he was the sole proprietor. This also bade fair to be a sucocess when the other dallies cut down the sdvertlsing rates to such a figare that there was no money in the busicess, 80 Osle packed up his plant, and, having already surveyed the ground and met good assurances of support, shipped his material to Portand. By much diplomacy he obtained the cream of the assoclated press dis patches, and the now year saw the first issue of the New Northwest, as he calied his paper. It showed rlgu of the travall in which it was brought forth, but now it s a very creditable np;olman of journalistic work and is gslning friends ov day. The old monopoly has op it in every way, been omd into many im- provementl and Innovations In sheer self-defense. It bas enlarged its local force and established a resident cor- re- ndent in this city—-two changes ch have been the direct result of lholuomo competition. Mr. Cole, it will be seen, has fought a good flg‘n. and deserves the success ho has won. He prints fan edition of 5,000 copies, | 2% and expects to double it in tL’oo months, He has just paid a visit to this city to make arrangem:nts for a new steam press, RAPID RAILROAD WORK.
