R. & N. dock, to-day, or any other day, and you will see large lots of flour arriving from the interior; hundreds of barrels, to feed the fifteen thousand people whose market of supplies is Astoria. You will see during the day a dozen little boats loading with chopped or ground feed for the various logging, lumber and other outlying camps. All the money paid to the interior manufacturers for thi3 most necessary article could, under a better economic system, be kept in Astoria. It is for Astoriaus to say whether it shall or not. ' Several years ago in one of our commercial discussions with the Ore gonian, we proved that, irrespective of other tolls, wheat could be brought from Portland to this city, for 33 (thirty-eight) cents a ton. It was proved by a sworn affidavit from the secretary of the Astoria Transporta tion company, that it had been done and by accompanying figures, show ing all the details, and that no loss had been incurred in so carrying it, allowing for and including every pos sible item of expense. The Astohiax argued from this un disputed fact that a flouring mill would pay. Irrespective of any rail road, a flour mill, rightly run, would. pay tneu, and would pay now. And when the advent of the railroad is taken into consideration, the profit able nature of such an enterprise sug gests itself still more strongly. "We are now assured of speedy rail- jroad connection with the "West Side. Chose who have given this matter any itteution cannot have failed to note two important aud favorable facts: the best wheat comes from the West pide,aud there is no mill of any consid erable dimensions on the "West Side. ?rom the We3t Side will naturally tame the chief supply of wheat for the Lstoria flour mill. Tiie Astorian is of the opinion that Ike plant suggested 125 bbls. a dav -is too insignificant to deserve seri- us discussion. A mill should be uilt; it would be a profitable enter rise; that is, we believe, agreed on all ides; but, in our opinion, nothing less mu a 5UU barrel a day mill should e thought of; and a thousand barrels day wonld be none too much. If a man is going to pack salmon, saw lumber, or print newspapers, sell peanuts, it will cost him as lucli to put in a big plant as a little ie; probably a little more; but when has liis plant in he can do some- Ling with it We doubt if a practical mill man ould care to take hold of n flouring till of so small a dailv canacitv as 25 barrels; while we are confident lat a mill of a much larger capacity rould pay a very good percentage on ie amount invested. In this case, ie costly experience of others would found a profitable study, unless it ere desired to learn the same facts y personal exoenence instead of nor mal observation. Such a mill as we suggest wouldn't st 125,000, nor half that amount; could be built and eaniDned for i0,000, at the outside, and would ive or should have a daily capacity ! from 750 to 1,000 barrels. To make the mill crreatlv nrof- ple, it will not do to depend lely on the local trade: flour must exported, and in such quantities it vessels may be chartered. To jarter a vessel to advantage, the mill st be the original chartering party, id not be obliged to depend on the mmodation afforded by an oppor- lity to finish. Che time is ripa aud opportunity rorable, for the building of a flour- mill in this city. We send thou- Iids of dollars away, that under bet- economic conditions could and luld be kept here. Such a drain Mtates against the healthy growth of Y community and in this as in other Itances the drain of monev awav us is totally unnecessary. ?here need be no trouble about Be ing a site; we have sites enough mills and factories, and an eligible ition for the Astoria flour mill can- kbtless be secured. UR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. ireat praise is due 6ur chamber commerce for the manv imnrove- its and matters of public import- le that it has aided and accom- Ihed. The list of achievements is a and worthy one. The good re- of its public labors are to be on every hand. But it is with ibers of commerce, and similar ies, as it is with individuals; they lot rest content with past achieve- its, and point to laurels won, but It continue and not grow weary in doing. It iB for that commercial to rise to the requirements of the snt; and in this regard-it may be that while oratory is a potent aid ition, it is not all that is required. : is essential to all undertakings, and small, and a due amount of requisite. kere are, however, occasions when ie to stop talking, and playing :ers, and either take hold, or let IxaEEssMAN Eeed's record on'the I and harbor bill in the past con- 3, it is believed, -will defeat him ke gpeakeofetp. VERY HIGH TONED. The Pacific coast chamber of com merce organized in San Francisco, last Tuesday. The San Francisco chamber of commerce and delegation has, however, seen fit to withdraw be ing too high toned and exclusive to Buffer contamination with ordinary every-day people from other parts of the coast. These kid-glove gentry are very near sighted, and need toning down. Yesterday's San Francisco Ex amine!' gives them a needed reproof; it says: "The Pacific coast chamber of com merce is deliberating without the San Francisco delegates, who have with drawn in accordance with the instruc tion of the local chambers. We have never been able to understand the reason for the refusal of our merchants to co operate with other mercantile bodies of the coast, and Captain Merry's ex planation leaves' us more in the dark tljan ever. The San Francisco Cham ber of commerce, in Captain Merry's mind, seems to be a sort of mercantile "400," and its chief end in life is to keep itself fittingly exclusive. It would rather not get congressional action for the benefit of our steam ship lines, our harbor and our de fenses than to get them at the cost of associating with people with whom it could not consistently co-operate. It dreads the San Franoisco bricklayer more than a subsidized Canadian cor poration. If that is the spirit of our merchants, they may well claim to be conservatives, but they have not reached their ideal yet. The mummies of Thebes are more conservative still." Meanwhile the coast conference goes on while the home delegation sullenly hold aloof. Harmony in such matters is neces sary, and the snobbish action of the San Francisco chamber of commerce is in every way to be regretted. A man named Nicely is to be hanged in Pennsylvania. Evidently that is not the way he has behaved himself. TirE Brazilians seem to have caught the big pedro. MARINE NEWS AND NOTES. The steamer Oregon goes to San Francisco, this morning. The British ship Cliomene, from San Diego, CaL in ballast, arrived in yesterday afternoon. The Rermione is lyfng loaded it the O. R. & N.,wharf, and will clear for the V. K. to-day.
