The Oregonian took it off I And now, realuing Ha wretched blunder, casta about for a victim to bear the onus of its own stupidity. For years Astoria has kept a close mouth on the conditions at the bar of the Columbia river. Her people have known all the fact in their nakedness and simplicity and, loyal to the state, Portland included, has said no word to dismay shippers or hszard the commer cial status that justified such a silence. A week ago, Captain Peiubcrthy, of the British steamship Imaum, addressed a note of inquiry to the Columbia River Bar Pilots association, to this effect: "My vessel loaas 25.3 feet I desire to know to what draught you would advice nie to load, as I, of course, cannot take any chances!" The answer of the pilots association here, was: 'We can take your vessel out drawing 25 feet, but we must have a big tide and a smooth tar, and you may be de tained for some time. We consider 24 feet a safe draught at this time of the year." This is the substance of the corres pondence that precipitated the agita tion in Portland over the available water on the Columbia river bar. Cap tain Pemberthy showed the pilot's letter to his consignees, Messrs. Meyers, Wil son 4 Company; they got excited about it and took it to Theodore B. Wilcox, and that planet of the shipping firma ment rushed to the Oregonian with it; the Oregonian threw its columns wide 'ing to give figures for bar depths, that they, of all men in the world are best minted on; figures that actually took immcv out of their pockets; figures that mean safety for ships, masters exews, and owners; figures that are facts garnered through long years of a service conspicuous for its freedom from loss and wreckage; figures with which thev are familiar from daily, almwt hourly, ascertainment ; figures that nev- 'er would have own dipi:tcl, but for the Oregonisn's revklev outburst; fig ures that Mill stand as they are quoted. Icsi.it e the Oregonian or any other agency, until the Columbia bar is dredg ed deeper, or the jetty ohall do the work expected of it. The Oregonian, yesterday, in an art icle employing ten inches of its column space, uttered, and permitted the utter ance of, ton deliberate lies, and "these are they"; Lie No. t. It said (stteaking of the hour at which the Imaum crosed the bar) "the bar had only a seven-foot tide." The ship went over the bar at the very slack of an 8.2 foot tide," having left her anchorage an hour before to meet the flood at the bar. Lit No. a. It said, "just as the tide at Astoria registered eight feet, two inches, the Imaum crossed out with the government guages at tU jetty showing seven feet above lov water on the bar." This was the fact after the Imaum had been on the ocean side of the bar for an hour, and not at the time of her crossing the day yesterday, but did stop on account under her at the bar. Lie No. 3. It said, (speaking of the condition of the bar.) "that, while the bar was re ported smooth, it was, as a matter of fact, such as to prevent the dumping of rock from the jetty." 'ihe weather con ditions on the bar, when the Imaum crossed it, were ideal, only an ordinary swell moving over it and no wind. The work on the jetty was not stopped all Jay yesterday, but dis stop on account of rough water, at noon, on Thursday. Lie No. 4. It permits T. B. Wilcox to say he "thinks these pilots are nut so much timid as ignorant of actual conditions on the bar." It is co-responsible with Mr. Wilcox, for an insolent, slanderous lie; for the pilots here are neither timid nor ignorant, but hardy, fearless and capable men, who know the bar and their business well enough to have I I etty as oing yet big dug in that sin the ing It for her nruin u-ithlllt aAOfinil thfUMrht. Ikllllptl out 'its "thunder step," and the big ved the same big shipper T. B. Wil "organ" began a peal of indignant pro test that is still pealing and thunder ing and cannot be stopped, to the dis may of the musical director up in the lofty tower at Sixth and Alder streets. It opened the ball by violently attack ing the pilot association here, for dar- icox, hundreds of thousands of dollars by their pluck and knowledge. Lie No. 5 This is but a reiteration of Lie No. 4 Lie No. 6. It permits T. B. Wilcox to think an other lie, when he says "that the jetty SCHOOL ATTENDANCE SHOWS INCREASE OVER LAST YEAR On the first day of the school year about 100 pupils more than were pres ent on the first day last year registered at the various city schools and this led City Superintendent Clark to believe that the attendance the first month would be much larger than during the first month last year. He was, there fore, rather disappointed when the first monthly reiwrt was completed to find that the attendance was only 15 more than last year. It is just possible that a number of pupils have put off start ing to school until after the close of the fair and that the attendance for the next month may show a considerable in crease over last year. Superintendent Clark will leave for Portland tomorrow to look after the school exhibit and see that it is proper ly taken care of when the fair closes. Included in the exhibit are many arti cles of value to the schools and Superin tendent Clark is anxious to see that they are properly cared for at the break ing up of the fair. Following is the report submitted by Superitendent Clark for the first four weeks of school: is really accomidiahinff the end eouclit I r " after, and that when finished it will productive of all the bmhI hiked for. i- think it is entirely due to the j that the channel is being deepened, is evidenced by a 20 foot vessel p out." The jetty is not doing the woi expected of it because it is not finished it is not responsible for tse passage of a Si'O foot bessel because it is not finished. That credit belong to the government dredger, Chinook, that d a four foot channel across the lar the summer of 1904, an advantnse- will lie utterly lost if she is not permit ted to return to the service and if 1 north iettv is not built to maints the tide-sluice necessary to keei bar free. Lie No. 7. 9 It permitted Kdward Williams to ut ter another when he said "the clear! of the Imaum shows that a change needed in the bar-pilotage system shows nothing of the kind, Uie fact that the "system" got her out in safety, l proof positive of the efficacy of the scr vie and the best reason on earth its perpetustion. Lit No. tk It permits the utterance of anoth slanderous falsehood when the same K W. is allowed to say, "this tiling of 1 close corporation in pilotage makes the bsr awfully shallow sometimes, but it seems that deep-draught vessels tean be taken over if necessary." This is a lie, pure and simple, for no business statu of the pilot office can, in the remotest manner, effect the actual water-depths on the bar, ami the pilot association here is uo closer corporation than the lumber trust headed by Mr. Williams, and can not handle its stock in trade with the same celerity and disadvantage to the general public. Lie No. 9. It lied when it calls Pilot Leightoti, (even by pretended quotation) n "little bundle of nerves and skill." He is a small man, certainly, as men go, but he is a steady, faihtful capable pilot win knows his business and dues it well, and jet, withal, under his splendid care, tin linauin struck twice, and struck hard in crossing out. Lie No. 10. The Oregonian lied, by inference when it failed to publish the fact that the I man m struck the sands of the Iwr twice, and it lied when it puhli-hcd the headlines, over its column of lies, in which it s stated the "Imaum passes out upon the bosom of the Pacfjc without any difficulty whatever Ye, the lid is off. The Portland press is trying to put it on again, by publish ing a lot of alleged facts, semi -facts, and no facts. The truth is out. Port land must make the Is'st of it. The Oregonian is treating Astoria as it has : rested every other town In the state, as a lick-siuttle adjunct 10 ner pros iierity.
