ASTORIA, PORTLAND AND PUOET SOUND. The Oregonian of yesterday print an Item from the Tacoma Ledg?r, re ferring to the ship Drehna, which re-' cently loaded at Tacoma, as follows: " "It is not generally known that each' rhe San Francisco papers are much ailing ship that comes Into Tacoma1 , j . leaves behind all the way from 14.0 i tfVerclsed over recent dvance " to Jts.OOO, varying in amount according' rates announced by the Southern Pa to the sire of the vessel. The biggest ,. T. ,. , .. Items are of course the towing In and ciflo tompany. It seems that Hunting- vui. wmcn is aooui i,iuu, ana tne wages of the longshoremen who loadi th ship. Added to this are the cost' of stores, wages of the crew harbor. -". p. , na.u m, " uui iri ui timer l things. It costs tlS to tie a ship to the buoy, but she can lay there as long she want to ' Commenting on the Ledger's Item, the marine editor of the Oregonian tiys . The advantae which Portland has In charges I thus plainly set forth. The towage bill on a ship the size of the Drehna (1462 tons) from sea to Port land .and return 1 only 1540, not quite half as much as the Ledger's figure for the work on the Bound. There are no harbor charges In Portland, and It Is unnecessary for a vessel to tie to a buoy, as she can anchor anywhere ln( the river In perfect safety. Now in the Juxtaposition of these two Items appears the whole argument rf the Astoria proposition in the advan tages offered by the port of Aatorla over both Puget sound and Portland For a vessel to pas the mouth of the Co - lumbla river, within sight of the docks at Astoria, as all vessels from Euro pean and Atlantic coast ports must do. Involve (1) the expense and delay of beating up the Washington coast for hundreds of miles to the strait of Fuca, then (2), as shown by the Led ger, a tug must be found and employed to tow the ship In and out of the Bound, nearly 200 miles, at an expense, In the case of a small ship like the Drehna, of J1.100, besides other extras for harbor dues and incidentals. Dur ing all" this time, asldi from the. extra hazard of the voyage, the entire ex penses of the ship, including sailors' wages and special marine Insurance, must be kept up, with the Increased chances of detention by storm and other marine accidents; dreaded by every sailor as a consequence of pro- traded and obstructed voysire. The dllTerence, thus. In favor of Aatorla, will amount to evwt thousanJs of dollars on every vessel. As against Portland, Astoria has the dvsutage (l)o? entire absence of any low age or river pilotage charges. The first Item of these chargve Is admitted by the Oregonlan. on a ship the slse of the rrelnsa, to be fully 4500, although Astor ia watermen will place it very much higher. As to the second Item the Ore gonlan says nothing, and we will let It go w tlhout any estimate. But U), not to count the absurdity of a deep water ship, at the end of a long tea voyage calling past the dock and warehouse which contain th very commodity she ha sailed around the world for, and continuing on up a narrow and tor tuous river channel for more than 100 tmle.i, we have th same hasarda and delay of the Inland journey, with th attendant liability to storms and other untoward Incident due to the protract ed voyage. In opposition to all these disadvantages, encountered both at th Suund And at Portland, Astoria often the ship easy and quick ingreu to a deep and commodious fresh water harbor, WITHIN AN HOIK'S SAIL FKOM THE OPEN ROADSTEAD.

Pacific coast SAX 1'P.ANCISCO RATES TO THE ORIENT. ton proposes to take advantage of a ri!,e which has been agreed on by the Transatlantic ocean lines to put on the pressure a little tighter between San Francisco and the Orient. Of course It Is probably the. scarcity of suitable transports for the government busi ness has resulted In a natural Increase In Pacific ocean rates under the In exorable law of supply and demand. But San Francisco refuses to see It that nay, and, already vexed with the loss of the government business now going to Portland and the Sound, the papers of the Bay city are wild In their denun ciation of the S. V. octopus. The Chron icle of last Tuesday says: The Southern Pacific Company, not satisfied with the present heavy freight charges, now proposes to put an addi tional tax on merchants and shippers between this port and the Orient. The rise will affect not only all local ship pers, but It will cover all points in the United States. A soon as the new schedule Is arranged, freight shipments to any part of the Orient from the United States over the Southern Pacific route will bear fully 25 per cent addi tional tariff. The railroad comrany in tends to squeeze the foreign trade, for no other reason than because It sees an opportunity to draw more revenue from it, cwing to the helplessness of the shippers, who are now embarrassed to secure tonnage or freight accommoda tions as a consequence of the frreat de mand and the shortage of vessels. Yesterday cable advices were received in the yellow building announcing that the BtenmshlD comnanles were prepared to advance -ales to the Orient because of the inability to handle all the busi ness on hand. The Southern Pacific immediately saw Its opportunity, and did not take long to determine that the freight rates must go up, Just when the higher charges will go Into effect will not be given out at present, as It tKIJ e, .iiye si5nitfl, ,,,,,. ntt.n,,m ,ak(. of couise tackcl onto me o iar.er ratca n,,,ve ,JM.lr. the H..ly Iind when exac ted and goes to reimburse the ship the word Is given, and another million owner who Is .bllircd to first advance, wilt follow If th" step proves a sue- might shut off aunt of the shipments already contracted. In speaking of vhe matter yesterday. Third Vice-President J. C. Slubba said: "Our rate to the Orient wlH be raised shortly, lit keeping with advances made by other line. The Pacific and Allan tto coast are swept bare of ships for commerce, owing to the demands of the American and liritlsh governments for trarsport and store ship for the Phil ippine and South Africa. As a -consequence th Atlantic liners have been compelled to raise rate on freight, and this enable us to make advance on freight by way of Pacific coast port It Is only natural that we should do this. Any business concern would take advantage of conditions that would tend -to advance Its financial Interest Via received advice today from Lon don via Tokohama regarding the addi tional tariff, and we shall make our rate accordingly." This action of the railroad come as an additional blow to the mercantile Industrie of the state. On October 10th there will be an idditional advance of approximately 40 per cent on all In terslate commodity shipments, which means an absolute crippling of busl- i n Aurln in tha InAhllltv ff iihtnnera! to pay the new tolls and still make rea s nable profits. Tl'RNIN'l POINT IN THE 11EHUEW RACE. Jewish Mersengvr. The Dreyfus trial In France and the Congress of Zionists at Knsle, Swlteer- I lainl, n ark the turning point lit the I history of the Hebrews as a scattered I nation, and the two events "111 have i .i greater political bearing than most statesmen Imagine.

I of the world of the odium of our presence. The Dreyfus persecution has holivil ! to forward the Zionist movement a-s I iiiiinmir HiKe ei,uni iiiiii n ill l'iiiii:t esji a, Bjjff ,IlrJlu,nceJ m(.m lo the! ; ,.xtent that the resettlement of '.he' J'ws in Palestine as an Independent ''' Over two ir.nu-in niemuers m ine jewisa race I ce.t. J'.ost of these emigrants would' I come from Eup.pe where they are per- j 1 S'cutei, and not many from the! i I'nittd Stat-s. The result of this move- ment would be to paralyze some of ,ho ''"'"I"""' nations that have been f'-r-most In the persecution of the Jews. Without resorting to undue boaiulng It b?comes one to speak of the financial side of the forthcoming movement, and to assert that the with drawal of money from continental Ku rope owned by capitalists of Hebrew extraction would bankrupt nations and cities. In France the wealth of the Hebrews is enormous. They are the most suc cessful business men of the republic. While the sentimental Frenchmen have been talking about the Americans as a nation of shopkeepers and Idly drinking their absinth In the cafes, the Hebrews have been conducting qui etly and Intelligently the business of the country. Most of the capitalists of France today belong to our race. They represent more than half of the ac tual wealth of the requblic. Should their millions were suddenly withdrawn and their securities converted Into available, fund, a wholesale panic would break out In France that would be worse than the revolution. Yet, what other alternative have the He brews in this land of anti-Jews and an tl-Dreyfusards, which have become al most synonymous terms? If the Zion ist movement begins this year, which It Is apt to do if the Dreyfus trial starts another wholesale persecution of Jews, similar to that In Russia five years ago, the march toward the Holy Land will begin. That will be the land of refuge for the new nation born of per secution and sorrow. In Germany the Rothchilds own mil lions of the national wtalth, and other prominent Jewish families control hundreds of millions more. The with drawal of all these funds would crip ple Germany, but 'not ruin her a it would France. The same is true of Russia. Our purpose la to purchase Palestine outright, and there found a republic, similar to that of the United State. To this republic all the law-abiding Hebrews of the world would be In vited. At first the new nation would be small in numbers, but I doubt not the richest on the face of the earth. Should all the .'ews In the world go there the wealth of the republic would exceed that of the United States with all of its natural resources and mineral val uables and expanding Industries. But, of course, all of our people would not go tc the Holy Land. Those occupying positions of Influence In England and America would have no need to leave. in fact, we wouia not a est re sucn a charge. We would need the sympathy and moral support of England and America, for with our comparatively few numbers we would be helpless be fore the aggression of any European power that might attempt to force war upon us. W' would be placed In th same position a China Is today, and would be Juat a helpless to stay the hand of th enemy. W would hav th money but not th soldier to protect It. It will require millions of dollar to make the movement a success, .but funds are not dtrttcult to secure. W hrtve the backing of rapllallst of our rc In every country of Kurope and America, and when the hrilra begins there will be ample capital to transport all who wish to go and give them start In the new land. It will be th most phenomenal heglra In the world's history. That of Mohnmmed from Mecca, or th night of the Tartar so ablv described by D Qulncey, will b nothing In comparison to It. The heglra would be from continental Europe and the land where Justice and protection are. not accorded to those who happen to be of Jewish extrao tlon.
