Report on the Harbor and Shipping
Of the port of Astoria Facts Im
portant to tlve Public.
At a meeting of the Astoria Cham
ter of Commerce, held in May last,
a committee was appointed to pre
parestatistics of the harbor and ship
ping.of the port of Astoria, for use at
'the Farmer's Convention. Fol&owing
is the report in full.
Your committee to whom was referred
the matter of harbor, and shipping intelli
.gence, beg leave to offer the follewing:
The water front of Astoria, varying
-from a quarter of a mile to a mile in width
-affords over tix miles of secure anchorage
for the largest clawed vesbelb, in from six to
twelve fathomt, of water. No storms have
yet visited the harbor that sfibcted any
damage to shipping riding at anchor in
the bay, or lying it the wharf.
Should the demands of commerce re
quire, about five -consecutive miles of dock
ace may be cheaply constiueted from the
river bank to the edge of the channel,
piling being necessary but a short dis
tance at any given point.
The central poition of the harbor is just
twelve miles inside the Columbia river
bar, on which there is twenty-four feet of
water at extreme low tide, and thirty-four
at ordinary high tide. After crossing the
bar, the depth holds still greater all the
way to Astoria, so that any vcssgI able to
cross can &afely venture to our docks.
About six miles above Astoria, at the com
mencement of Cathlament bay is the
hog's " back, a bar some quarter of a mile
;nT,-fi, -rTfi, f,, 4W i.rof.f Umon !
rfn-frTitiSn fw nt luVh tido. This is tho.
..to x. j :i. i : j --l
most uaugerous point on tne nvci, uuu uie
most skillful pilots never attempt its pas
sajre in the nieht, either with sail or steam.
It is formed of shifting sand, deposited by
the meeting of the tide with the annual
freshets of the river, as' Cathlamet bay is
ten miles long up and down the river, and
from seven to fourteen in width. Thus
the waters of the river are so spread out
that they lose their force, and the incoming
tide washes the loose sand into irregular
'bars that change their "position from year
to year, and make dredging useless.
'Steamers are nearly always detained at
Astoria, for tide to cross this bar, .and
should one arrive here, say at 12 m. when
high water occurred at 10 o'clock a. ar.
she would have to wait until 11 a. m. the
next day, as she could not proceed on the
high tide of the night. This bar has been
known for years, but as the draft of steam
ers and vessels now coming into the river
is greater than formerly, the difficulties
tire becoming more and more apparent.
There is the following named depths of
water Jit the points mentioned at high
.tide: m

The .channel is often crooked, and diffi
cult of navigation, and the bar at the
mouth of the "Willamette river is subjeet
to annual depo.-ts of sediment from back
"water of the Columbia.
We find that the carding trade of
Oregon is now chiefly -done by vessels of
light draft and gmalIcapacit3T.
That these are subject to a tax of 8 per
loot draft as pilotage; from four to ten
days'. delay, and $300 to $400 towage,
over and above what they would have to
pay, did they receive and take in cargo at
Astoria. A lair average would be, say
six hundred tons capacity. Expenses would
then be as follews:

Total,
Equivalent to over-four cents per bushel
on the cargo of 600 tons outward bound.
This is but a fraction of the expense to the
State growing out of present arrangement
of the arrivals and denatures bv sea.
By cureful inspection of the shipping!
Tegisiers, we nna tne average arait ot an
vessels now in use, ranging between 1,000
and 1,200 tons, to be 20K feet, and the
average of all larger ones but 21 14 feet.
AVhile a thousand ton ship is iull larger
than can reach Portland,or any point above
Astoria, loaded, on account of depth of
water, a vessel of 3, 000-tons can always
x)inrto Astoria, whatever the -.stage of
water. Thus, "with a point higher up on
the river, the export trade must forever be
carried on in small vessels, while from
here the shipping of the world may com
pete for freights.
A ship of 3,000 tons can carry wheat
from Astora to Liverpool for twenty cents
a bushel less than a 1,000 ton vessel can
do from Portland, as the following figures

Or, a dividend of 19 per cent, on cost of
the larger ship as against 5 per cent, on
that of the smaller. Or, to reduce both to
5 per cent., the 3,000 ton ship will carry
wheat to Liverpool for over a third less
than the 1,000 ton vesel; that is 29 cents
against 45 cents per bushel. Add to this
the cost as above figured, incidental to
delays and river expenses of 4 cents per
bushel, and it gives a net gain of 20 cents
per bushel in favor of iVstoria as an ex
porting harbor, and the employment of
such vessels as can safely cross the bar,
over the present arrangement of Portland
and small vessels. Twenty cents per
bushel on the estimated crop of the State
for 1S73, viz: 5,000,000 bushels, gives the
Miuff little sum of 31,000,000 that the farm
er should have for his labor. The above
fieures are all substantially correct, and
tell their own story
It may be said that several large vessels
have loaded at Portland, but the Custom
Houe recoid show that of the twenty
vessels named below, comprising all thef
vessels of any size that have sailed from
the river with wheat, from a. fourth to
over one-half of the cargo was brought
down to Astoria in steamboats and here'
put on board. And yet these records are
more favoiable to the city of Portlandl
than the fact justify, for the reason that
in a number' ot instances two or
number" of instances two or three
hundred tons was cleared from the Port
Mann f!ii-tom House as heinrr on
land Custom House as being on board
when in fact it was in lighters and steam-t
ers alongside" of the ship, and towed down
to Astoria before being placed on the ves

Again, deep sea vessels never like to
leave the salt water. Coasters are willing
to steamboat it, but large vessels avoid
steamboat grounds. In fact, the under
writers do not allow deep sea vessels to
venture from their natural element at
will.
The striking of a vessel on any of the
bars of the river, even if no immediate
damage is discoveied, is sufficient cause to
render null and void the policy lof insur
ance, should she take in cargo and pro
ceed to sea without being put on the dry
dock and having her bottom examined.
Should a ship be loat under such circum
stances, not a dollar of insurance could be
collected on the vessel, and if the owners
were responsible, the underwriters upon
the cargo would hold them for the value
thereof. Hence large vessels will never
be induced to undertake the navigation of
the bars of the Columbia above Astoria.
l$(ftY as to the safety of the Columbia
river. Exact data is wanting of the whole
number of vessel a that have crossed the
bar, but from certain periods during which
the data is complete, we are enabled to
approximate very closely, and set the
number down at an average of five hun
dred a year for the last twenty-one years,
or since 1352. The following is a com
plete list of all the losses or wrecks that
have occurred on the bar since 1852, which
year may be considered the beginning of
wisdom as regards the channels, currents,
&c, on or about the bar.
Parks Mcndora,. and jtferrithew. lost
January 12th, 1S53, came in without
pilots wind tailed after getting in, and
they drifted ashore.
Bark Oriole, lost September 19th, 1853.
Brig Detroit, lost Dec. 22, 1855 on outer
spit Going out at night.
Bark Desdemona, lost Dec. 31st, 185G.
Came in without a pilot, ran on sands six
miles inside.
Schooner "WoodneckerlostMav 10. 1861.
four miles inside.
Bark Industry ,lost March 16, 1865, com
ing in without a pilot.
Bark "W. B. Scranton. lost May 5th,
1S67. '
Only eight vessels in twenty-one vears.
Eight out" of 10,500. One out of i;3l, or
one-thirteenth of one per cent, of the ship
ping coming into the river.
Of this number, four were coming in
withoutpilote. It futher appears that near
ly every loss during the time under reveiw,
was the result, not of a rough bar, but of
the wind failing after the vessel had crossed
thus leaving her to drift on the sands. It
also seems that each loss of vessels coming
in occurred when they were sailing against
the tide, instead of with it.
There being no tug to go to their relief,
jsa rrs3 a-susrtsia
I abovo
r-yustag-vr iwjrtio,flvy'f-"c- - -tw:
of course there could be no rescue-. It is
safe to say that, had there beea.a tug at
hand, every vessel thus 'lar lost on the Dar
might have beed saved. Since the placing
of thetuir Astoria" unoh . thebttr, or .pilot
I grounds in 1869, there has been no loss, and
wim proper care on tne part oi-tug' ana
pilots;, there need be none ior many years
to come. These facta warrant us in mak-.
ing the bold assertion, that there isno barr
ed harbor known to commerce, where the
percentage of loss is sosmallfc Andfewj if
any, open harbors that can show so fair a
record. The currents and. prevailing
winds are buch, and the land marks so'
well defined, that at a time when it is un
safe to crosis the bar, -vessels outside can
readily -keep.offl and wait a suitable time
to enter. And there is good holding
grounds but a-few hundred rods inside for
vessels bound out to anchor, and select
from the sopt their own time to pass out.
Less trouble is experienced from logs at
the Columbia, than either to the norui or
south, as they are not frequent, and are
much less dense, owing, no doubt, to the
presence of aerial currents, resulting from
peculiar physical conformations. The
channel is distinctly bouyed out, and
lighted by a first class light-house on Cape
Disappointment, where is established a
lite saving station by Kiovernment, with
all the necessary facilities tor rendering
aid in casef accident on the bar. Gov
ernment has also made an appropriation
for a lighthouse at Point Auams, and
preparations are going forward for com
mencing the work at once.
Ihe commerce ot Oregon has hereto
fore been taxed by underwriters far above
the proper and reasonable rate. But, as
the rate of insuarance is made up from a
knowledge of the actual pro Tata of loss
incident to a given harbor, when such
datais to be had, or guessed at from gen-
eral impressions, in the absence of reliable
information, there seems no good reason
why, if the above facts are laid before the
various marine underwriters of the land,
the discAmihafion against the Columbia
river bar should not be removed, and our
insurance had at a fair rate, much less
than is now imposed.
Another important l point? gained by
making Astoria the exporting harbor,
would be the employment of home capi
tal in the river tranportation, instead of
foreign, or outside, as is ,now done. The
question is now never raised about Sandy
llook bar, at the entrance of !New York
harbor, beinc too shallow and rough tor
f the extensive and 'profitable employment
oiall classes-ot vessels, yet there is five tcet
more vater on the Columbia river bar at
high tide, than there is on Sandy Hook at
a corresponding stage of water. But to
conclude, it is evident that the class ot
vessels required to carry the suplus pro
ducts of Oregon to a foreign market, at a
price consistent with the cost of production,
must stop at the mouth of the Columbia
river. Therefore, it is a simple problem of
whether Oregon will build up and main
tain a seaport town worthy of a great
State, within her own borders, or whether
such a place will be sustained on Pugut
Sound, or California, at an annual cost of
one-fourth the agricultural wealth of the
State.
