PORTLAND TAKES IT AS USUAL STEAMER SUE H. ELMORE GOES TO METROPOLIS ON NEXT VOYAGE AND MAIN TAINS HEADQUARTER TER MINUS THERE HEREAFTER. By a clever ruse Portland takes from thit city the terminal business of the Pacific Navigation Company (otherwise, S. Elmore & Company), and when the steamer Sue H. Elmore return from her next trip to Tilla mook Bay, she will go on to the metropolis ' direct, and thereafter, wtli sail from there as her headquar ter terminal. The means resorted to in behalf of this scheme, was the steady advance in the rates, hence to Portland, on the Tillamook produce brought in here by the Sue H .Elmore; the'climax asserting itself in her owners' final decision to absorb these exorbitant, and increasing, rates, in sheer self defence, It is the old story of manipulation as against this' port, on the part of Portland; and in the matter under treatment, seems to have been a very simple ' and successful transaction. Now, that she ha captured the busi ness, it is morally certain the people of this city will hear no more howls an hub-bub about the "wretched ser vice between Astoria and Tillamook." It all be lovely and gratifying and successful, since Portland , has the business in charge; and for the sake of the Tillamookians, the people of Astoria hope it may be. The Sue H. Elmore was the only sea-going craft out of this port, or Portland either, for the matter of that, that was owned by local people, and she will be the first to sail out of Jhe metropolis with an Oregon owner. , ' DONE BY DEED.
