AGE SIX. RATES HAVE BEEN RAISED Tariffs on General Merchandise to Orient Restored to the i Former Figures. OUETO NEw ARRANGEMENT When China Commercial Company Cut Out San Franoiaoo For Portland Th War Rataa War no long ar to Ba Effective. : San Francisco, Jan'. T. The freight tariffs on general merchandise shipped out of this port to th orient hav again been advanced and are now on the same ba.il that existed before the late war was commenced in this city. The rata on dour is S3 a ton and the officials are now deliberating whether or not to advance the rate to S a ton. The announcement that the veaaela C the China Commercial Company's line will no longer call at this port Is tha cause of the advance in rates. The China company has allied Itself with the Portland ft Asiatic Steamship Company, and In future the steamers of tha line will proceed direct from Maniinlllo to Portland and thence to the orient. t 3 NEW HARBOR LINES. Showing of Blue Prints Received Not at All Satisfactory. : . The blue prints received In this city from the office of the V. 3. E. depart ment showing the harbor lines as re- cently readjusted have caused much comment, and dissatisfaction exists in consequence of the readjustment. Ac curate measurements have not yet been made as to the Unas provided for the eastern portion of the harbor, but It la Known uuu tne lines are not exienaea nearly as far out as Is necessary to the needs of commerce here. From the Astoria Box Company's mill west' the lines are Just about all that could be desired .and both the box com pany and the Clatsop Mill Company will hava .to Ufficulty in loading ves sels. The Hume min is, however, cut off from deep water by about 200 feet. This condition .vlll apply tothe mill which is to be erected in the east end by the American Lumber Company Both concerns will be practically shut off from water communication, and a great hardship will be worked. The Hume mill was built especially for the export business, but at present only small schooners can be loaded there. As a result, the output of the mill is not nearly as great as would be. the case If deep water were ac cessible. Under the present condition, the annual exports of lumber from this mill win not exceed 15,000,000, at a reasonable estimate, whereas with deep water the output would be easily 30, 800.000. At the next meeting of the Chamber of Commerce the matter will be brougt up for discussion, and It is probable some action will be taken looking to a petition for the relief of the mills In the east end. . Manzanita to Go North." Captain Byrne, of the lighthouse tender Manzanita, has received Instruc tions to proceed to southeastern Alas ka to visit the aids to navigation in the waters of the north.

The people living along the Nehalem river have asked the Portland Cham ber of Commerce to assist them In their efforts to secure an appropriation for a Jetty there, and Representative Williamson has been notified of their request Maps have been forwarded to Washington, showing Just what ta required to provide the desired depth In view of the fact that there la press Ing need for deep water at Neham the Oregon' delegation will u Its ut most emlmsvors to secure the neces sarp funds for the Jetty. f SCANDAL COMING TO LIGHT.'
