Ore., Oct. C, 1WKJ. To the Editor "I notice the Oregonian has broken out again with an editorial 'A Lesson in River Porta. and to bolster up the lesson, coes away back to the times of the Roman Empire, when the Ro mans in their galleys pulled up the river Thames to the City of London, and entrenched themselves in what was then a trading center and is now the capital city of England. "The editor get down his 'Statistics of Trade,' and gives an account of the imports and exports of London. Liver pool, New York, Hamburg, Antwerp, Marseilles, Calcutta and Bom hay and because Liverpool has been increasing in shipping faster than London, there fore London is planning to provide accommodation for docking nuxlern steamers, etc., etc., (all of which, of course, i very interesting and Inst rue tive to students of ancient and mod era history, and suggests to the thoughtful reader the reasons why, and how centers of population were former- established). . "This was evidently not the reason for writing the editorial, however, as appears from the concluding few line. in which he advlei his readers, that the Columbia river bar. is the only se rious drawback to Portland, as a sea port, and makes light of the matter of dredging the 100 miles of river from Astoria to Portland. "Ships are loaded only to the depth that is safe on the bar, 24 op 25 feet. Up and down the river, however, be- tween Astoria and Portland, they could be loaded deeper than that, ete.. etc. . "It seema to ma that not many moons ago I saw a Teasel loading the lat of her cargo in Astoria, from a lighter towed down from Portlandand again. very shortly aco. a large steamer bumped so hard on the bottom, coming down the river from, Portland, thnt the captain would not go to sea until an examination by a diver, and report by experts a to her condition and sea worthiness were had. I would respect fully suggest to the Oregonian that they mHzzle the man who writes thH class of articles, and that he be given an assignment on the farmers' col umn, and tell them to the hop-pickers, not to old sailors. I fail to see the benefit all such stuff is likely to do to Portland, or the Columbia river; they remind me of the boy, whistling as he was going through the graveyard, to keep his courage up. 'Cut it out,' Mr. Oregonian, and get down to "brass tucks'; as one of yoiir citizens said lately, in regard to some such matter. "You are not doing justice to yourself nor to the City of Portland, for the reason, that you know better and a very large majority of your citizens do not know, and take what you say as be ing so, and are thereby lulled into a false security; while the shipping and commerce that could, by concentrated and well directed efforts, be held on the river, and increased, is slipping away, gradually but surely U Bugct Sound ports. "S0SCRJBER.' AT THE STAR TKKATER. Yesterday eiternoon a good sized house witnessed the matinee perform ance of "The Allen Homestead," which had its last presentation in this city by the Swain company. Hitherto, mat inees have never proved very popular in this city, but the advent of the Swain companyhag resulted in attract ing excellent attendance, due, no doubt, to the fact that the offerings on these occasions is always the first of the week's success The evening perform ance of "Esmeralda" drew a good Sat urday night house, Thig afternoon for matinee and tonight the bill at the Star will be "Esmeralda," changing to morrow night to the gTcat romance of southern life in ante-bellum days, "The Octoroon," beyond a question one of the greatest and mot powerful plays of this kind ever" written.
