We take it in good part ttiat "Ob lerrtr" liaa jumped into the breach ate by the miscalculation of this paper k its treatment yesterday of the dis tances from the Inland Empire wheat points to Astoria and other seaports on the Tipper coast, and publish bis letter gladly in the hope it may correct an nnintentional conception of the fine table furnished us in this behalf. He ays: "In your editorial in todays paper, figures that explain you stats that 'Astoria is but a fraction over 30 miles further from the present shipping points erf the Inland Empire than any of the Bound porta, etc. -An the contrary ASTOlUA ia NEAR ER to the several Inland Empire ship ping points, from 70 to 93 miles, than k" Seattle, either by the O. R. N. or North. Bank roads, making a shorter ftanl for the railroads and furthermore, fa 135 miles nearer the ocean than is Seattle, all of which is in favor of As toria as a seaport, both from the stand point of the railroads and the towing oropaniea shorter distance to haul and a shorter tow. "There have been much talk and a great deal of iwriting on this subject. t -different time, but the 'hour and the man had not arrived and no defi nite action has ever been taken. I Veliev e that the hour and the man have bow arrived, and that the railroads oan very shortly utilise the downgrade or water level haul and with facilities for shiDoiiur. where their disbursements will be less than at any seaport in the world which would mean lower charter rates. Astoria will then take her place (which her neerlesa position justifies) as the s onljj first-etaas deep-water seaport in the State of Oregon. "OBSERVER." ANXIETY FOR USER. NEW YORK, Dec, 19. Some anxiety U felt over the non-arrival of the new French liner Florida which sailed from Havre for New York, November 30. The ships should have arrived in New York not later than December 15. The Florida is of 6500 tone net, and does not carry a wireless apparatus, which may ac count for the delay in hearing arora here. The agents of the line are con vinced that the ship hss only met witn hesd winds and expect i. to arrive to day. SWALLOWED NEEDLES. KTXC YORK. Dec. 19.
