SOME WHOLESOME TRUTHS
ABOUT THE BAR. ;

. "Ailorlu, January 18, 1908.
"Kditor Aslorlam
"There is no particular reason wby I
hMild bult In' on the controversy be
tween tlie Oregunlan and you in the
uyttU'CH of towage ami pilotage on the
t'oluiubitt river bar and kiudced lub-J'-
ts; only, having plenty of spare time
oq uiy Itnii'U, and a it is alleged that
Satan And work for Idle hands,' and,
further, it being also apparent that
neither of you cm to know much about
tlw prof(slti,n, and therefore, might
bo grateful for aoiue enlightenment, I
venture a few wonl. 1
"The Attorlan.'l take it, hat no in
terest lu the sale of tho 0. It & N.
Company's Uiw boats to the Port of
Portland or anyone le, only at a mat
ter of news, when the deal shall be con
summated, ami therefore there is no
rwm for controversy nor argument on
your part. The Orcgonian, In itt effort
to build up and create publio sentiment
in Hie city of Portland to a point where
the taxpayer there will be willing to be
taxed for the purchase and operation of
bur tow boat, pilotage, or any old thing
that tnigbt be required to help out the
low foreign exorters, at the metropolis
(lnco the 0. IL & X. it utterly tired
of putting np for them), had to put up
'ft man of straw' to knock down again
by it ponderous aertion that' the
bar pilot were not In favor of Portland
and wrre, caiele and incompetent and
the 'Atoria pilot rig (whatever that
may be) doing all they ponsible could
to ruin tlte rommcrc . of the Columbia
river etc, etc. (I am informed by a
ntwiajHir man ttiat "'h a course is
eonsi.lured quite lej-itimato by the fra
ternity, and in fact, Is the handiest
course a newapaper can follow to gain
its ends a bold lie reiterated again and
again is as good, if not better than the
rstrtual truth and save a great deal of
time and bother one tulgt be puL to in
securing Die fact in the case.)
"Now the facts in tho ease are these:
The bar pilot are a body of careful,
competent eeauten and second to none
in their knowledge of the conditions of
t lie Columbia river bar; they maintain
a good schooner which cruise off tla
bur and putt pilott aboard of vessels as
they arrive in the offing, and endeavor
to 'hang on,' close In as safety will
allow until the tow boat makes its ap
pearance to tow the vessel Inside. If
the tow boat does not get outside, say
fur 12 hours afterward, the vessel with
the pilot , aboard it probably off Cape
Flattery by that time and has to work
back and hang around outside for the
tow boat; in all, say a couple of iweeks
lost to ship and pilot and much to the
disguxt of the ship master and to the
pilot at well. This happens every win
ter, and it bat happened that neither
1iip nor pilot has come back, Ship,
crew and pilot sacrificed to 'the greed
of the shipowner in having too little
ballast aboard, and, in a measure, to the
lack of promptness on the part of the
bar tow boats. v
"The 0. R, & N. Company has two
tow boats in commission at the entrance
to the Columbia river, noitherof which
it strong enough to tow a ship over the
bar at any and all times and ijtulor all
conditions. Say there are two vessels
wishing a tow1 In; the tide is running
out strong and it it late in the after
noon; the two tow boats would make
fust to one vessel and get her inside,
and if it was not too late at that time,
mirfit cast off and return for the other
vossuff but the other vessel, where is
she! lost in the haze or fog and trying
to edge off a lee shore and make herself
safe for the night; the pilot Is aboard
all night and it bound to look out for
the safety of the ship and does so. What
la needed are tow boats than ean do the
work in any tort of weather and on any
tide, and enough of them, in competi
tlon, to insure the doing-of the bui
ne. ,' r - r .
' "Of eoiusi it I understood that the
0. It. N. La been doing a big chant
abli stunt tn ttv. II,.
river commerce! mafeinif rebate and
absorbing pilotage and towage fee to
this end, andbo about done all that
may be expected of it and i insistantly
diisirwis of relief. Therefore, the people
of Portland and Multnomah are to he
Invoked to do thl charitable work by
fuming the respoiwllulity and dirw'
tioit of it all, thelp burden working the
salvation and profit of the little group
of Kngllim shipper who insist upon it
being done, no matter who' doe It.
"This is the situation 'la a nut-ihell'
to the dllnteretd onlooker.
