The eff.vt of making a common Point
rate for Astoria would be to change the
seaport basis to Astoria with the re
sult that cheaper ocean charters for
grain ships would add 10 per cent, to
the value of wheat in the hands of
farmer, besides forcing the bulk of
Orl?ntal commerce to Columbia river
railway lines.
No wh?at is shipped here now. The
excessive rite prevails because Astoria
Is not a common point.
PORTLAND PARTISAN'S VIEW,
Pelllerate Falsehoods and Mis-state-
ments Given Out.
As evidence of what Astoria's enemies
consider fair weapons the following In
terview is reprinted from the New York
Commercial of June 15:
CHICAGO. June U (Speclal).-A
prominent railroad official said today
In r.-gard to the Astoria and Columbia
river question: 'The well-known Jeal
ousy that exists on the part of the As
torUn toward Portland has not at all
abated since the completion of the As
toria & Columbia River Railway, when
it was confidently expected by the citi
tens of Astoria that the entire business
ef Portland would leave it immediately
and be transferred to their city. It Is
needless to say that owing to the geo
graphical 'ocatlon and radroad facili
ties their hopes have been blasted.
I can see no good reason for any
agitation on this subject. As far as
transcontinental rate are concerned
Astoria now enjoys a common rate with
Portland. Of course, on short hauls
local rates have to b? made to cover
the 100-mile haul between two points.
The great bulk of the exports from
Portland are the wheat nnd tlour ship
ments to the Orient from the Walla
Walla district.
"Portland also ship, a great quan
tlty of dairy products. Over 9o p"r
rent of the outbound shipments from
Portland by water are from the terri
tory east of it, while all lhat Astoria
has to oner In the wsy of Initiative in
freights are from the cann'ng indus
tries located on the lower Columbia
river.
"Vessels of deep draught ar? often
able to get to Portland, as the Co
lumbia river is a large and deep utream.
and navigable for ordinary steamers
many miles bej-ond Portland; ami
while Astoria claims to located on the
river the main channel Is quite a dis
tance away.
'It might ad well be advocated that
Huras. La., be made a port of entry,
Instead of New Orleans, for the reason
that it Is nearer the oiilf of Mexico
As the sole argument that Is advocated
in linking Astoria a port of entry and
call is that It Is located nearer the
mouth of the Columbia river, and is
consequently a hundred miles nearer
the Pacific oveon than Portland, I am
decidedly in favor of letting matters
rest as they are at present."
The arguments advanced in the above
interview are as ridiculous as '.he facts
are distorted and untrue. The state
ment that the rr',,' channel of the
river is quite a distance away from
Astoria Is In line with the statement of
James J. Hill, that the channel win
twelve miles distant from this city.
IT S UP TO MR. FULTON.
The following communication from
an able economic- writer and frequenfc
contributor to The Dally News is re
printed from yesterday's edition of that
paper:
ASTORIA. June 20.-(Edltor Dally
News) I do not intend to take sides
In the struggle between two of Astoria's
leading men. As I read Mr. Fulton's
letter In last Sunday's Astorian. he did
not mean to urge congressional aid to
deepen Portland's channel except on the
basis of Astoria's being made the sea-
port being conceded a common nolnt
on export!. The true position for Atc.
to
liana to take Is that If Astoria be eon
ceded a common point then all congres
sional aid in deepening or Improving the
channel nf the Columbia to Portland
will help Astoria, Portland and all In
this basin; but that, fo long aa a com.
mon point la denied to Astoria, every

versy, and avoiding all question of toy

gwt adoption by the Chamber of Com.
merce committee, of which Mr. Fulton
is chairman, of the following resolutions
to be presented to the river and harbor
committee as expressive of the real sen
ttment of all loyal Astorians:
Resolved (1). That with Astoria
conceded Ihe common Justice of a com
mon point on exports whereby the Co-
lumnian producer can have the bene.
fit of this greatest port in the West, we
favor eongressij.ml aid In deepening
me cnannei Between Astoria and Por,
land to the greatest practicable depth,
as a nenent to the ent re basin.
"(2). But that, with Astoria refused
a comon point on exports and Portland
the permanent seaport basin of the
Columbia, we heartily oppose all con
gresslonal aid for securing a deeper
channel. We do so because thereby
tn candle or Columbian commerce
being burned at both ends. It serves to
deprive our producers of millions of
dollars of added value In their v.heat
aud is a mere waste of mintons of dol
lars of public money in a scheme that
benefits none and turns the commerce
of this btsin to Seattle.
"(3). That, with the present seaport
status, tne only necessary large appro
priations are for the Columbia above
The Dalles, whereby the fanners may
get the benefit of nature's best seaport
ror metr wneat.
If the Chamber of Commerce commit
tee shall not wish to adopt any resolf.
non or tnis character, then let Mr. El
more and other avowed loyal Astorians
can a mass meeting at the court house
and have these resolutions adopted for
suomujion to tne visiting committee.
I believe every true Astorian will en-
dorse every word of them.
The sentiment embodied in the resolu
tions Is what The Astorian has contend
ed for. It is up to Mr. Fulton.
