new charge and carefully studying
her qualities as a "liner." The Rose
City left San Francisco on her last
voyage up, three-quarters of an hour
behind the fine steamship Roanoke,
bound for this port. By wireless
communication between the vessels
en route, it was found at the end of
the first 200 miles, the R. C. was 65
miles further up the coast, and she,
docked here just 131 hours ahead of
Captain Dunham's "pet." Allowing
seven hour for the Roanoke's call at
the port of Eureka, thi gave the
Roue City a practical gain of seven
and one-quarter hour over her friend
and handsome rival.

COLD STORAGE RATES
ADVANCED .
THIRTEEN AND ONE-THIRD
PER CENT INCREASE ON
CARLOAD SHIPMENTS OF
PICKLED FI8H HENCE TO
THE EAST-WILL BE RESISTED.
There is a bit of discord prevalent
in the cold-storage element of the
fishing industry as it exists in As
toria, due to the announcement that
Western Transcontinental Association
has apprised the shippers and export
ers, here that in the very near future
the freight rate on carload lot of
pickled fish, hence to the East, will
be increased in the following ratio:
"When shipped in common box
cars, 85 cent per hundred pound."
"When shipped in refrigerator cars,
100 cents per hundred pounds."
This word has come to the big
plants here and hereabout, direct
from F. H. Fogarty, A, G. P. A. of
the Northern Pacific Railway, at
Seattle, and is based upon "verbal
authorizations" given that official by
the Western Transcontinental Asso
ciation aforesaid.
Our heaviest exporters here do not
take at all kindly to the raw advance
of 10 cents per hundred over the
rates that have prevailed for so long,
and will protest vigorously and unan
imously against its application. To
them it looks very much like cinch
ing them up for the local rate hence
to Portland, and even the layman
takes the same unfriendly view of the
matter. This is strenuously denied,
however, by the railway people, who
claim that the advance extends to
the Puget Sound shipping points as
well; and this is being looked into by
the men next in interest here.
No good reason is assigned by Mr.
Fogarty for the advance, and his
statements in this relation are taken
somewhat in the light of "feelers" to
determine the temper wherewith such
a raw increase will be taken by these
men who ship thousands of tons of
such produce out of here yearly. The
matter will be investigated and con
tended against to the bitter end.
