PORTLAND RATE NOT THE BASIS GRAIN RATES OUT OF OREGON AND ' WASHINGTON FIXED BY THE TRANSPORTATION CONCERNS ON THE OLD, UNIVERSAL BASIS. The following deductions, made by one of Astoria's knowledgable and studious citizens, makes interesting reading, and convey a hint to the peo ole of Portland engaged in grain- shipping that may be of value to them .. . t ' - : -t .v. a as well as 10 me graiu-raisci a ui ius Inland Empire: To the Editor: An editorial in the Oregonian of the 20th tnst, entitled "Lower Rates, Not Longer Haul," is worthy of your consideration, excepting the usual "Oreeonian" kick ''at the depth of water on the Columbia river bar which is not worthy of attention. The edi torial goes on to say: "As the Seattle rate and all other Puget Sound rates are based .on the Portland, etc. "That rate reductions will be made in the near future is highly probable. and quite naturally the cost of haul ing wheat to tide water by way of Portland, will be the base on which any new rate which may be quoted will be established. But it is hardly reasonable to sup pose that the railroads will quietly grant a reduction in freight rates, if they are asked to haul wheat 100 miles farther than is necessary, with out a possibility of their receiving anything for the increased distance covered. As an outsider (not a railroad man) I quite agree with the Oregon ian, that it is not reasonable to sup pose that railroads will haul freight 100 miles, or any other - distance, further than is necessary without compensation in some manner. On this bold statement of facts, as to distance haul Portland is , therefore clearly entitled to a lower freight rate than is Seattle for instance, as Seattle is 180 miles farther to haul the freight. It costs money to operate freight trains. The Oregonian is mistaken how ever, when it says that the Portland rate has been the base for establishing the rate to Puget Sound ports. I am not a railroad freight man and do not know their basis for establish ing freight rates, unless it is, as Jay Gould said: "All the traffic will bear." From all competitive points the O. R. & N. Co. were supposed to charge the same rates to Portland, as the Northern Pacific charged to Seattle, but the facts are, that for some rea son, or reasons, the business could not be done at Portland as cheap -as at Seattle, and the O. R. & N- have been giving rebates and "absorbing charges to the Portland shippers to enable them to complete, and do dusi ness on an even footing with the Puget Sound ports, and this has been coins; on for many years. All those rebates and "absorbing" of charges by the O. R. & N. in favor of the Portland shippers, eventually came out of the pocket of the pro ducers (the farmers) of Eastern Ore eon and Washington. There is little cohesion or initiative amongst farm ers, but the business men of Portland are to blame and should have long atro awakened to the fact that the citi zens of the Inland Empire were being robbed by the repacious railroads. The direct loss to the producers of the Inland Empire during, say, the last 20 years, must have been something enormous, enough to repay the United States government for money expend ed oa. the jetty at the mouth of the Columbia, and some left over to dredge the Willamette and build a new lock at the Cascades and one at Celilo. "CITIZEN." Yesterday 'morning broke with weather which precluded the sched ule excursion of the visiting teachers to the shores of Washington and else where about Astoria's beautiful bay, so the group of 70 settled down to the prescribed program: The regular session of the Teachers' Institute was opened at 9 o'clock by song, "Holy, Holy, Holy, followed by the Lord's Prayer. Mr. Alderman began the day's work by a talk on "Oregon's School Sys tem." He discussed this, subject in his usual happy vein, and encouraged the teachers very much by his words. Dr. Sheldon followed with la talk on "Education and Superstition." The instinct in human nature for supersti tion, U recognized, Why are people superstitious? First We inherit superstition. SecondAny deep emotion leads to superstition. Third De dislike uncertainties. Fourth The law of causation. L. R. Traver followed with "Lan guage. High bchool teachers com plain that, language is not thoroughly taught in lower grades. Professor Traver'a exposition of this difficult subject was excellent. He showed how to develop the verb so that if this were thoroughly learn ed, all other parts of language and grammar would be very simple, and concluded this talk in the afternoon. In place of the long promised ex cursion and picnic, the teachers were hailed to the M. E. church where a bountiful luncheon v had been spread by the Astoria Teachers' As sociation. The after dinner speeches were greatly enjoyed by all present. At 2 p. m. the teachers returned to theegular Institute work. L. R. Alderman's talk on "Indus trial Work Without Equipment," was timely and most excellent. , The school should do for the growing child just what the best equipped home would do if it could. We should teach bovs and eirls to do whatever they do in life, as an art. Teach the things that are important so that the pupils know that they are imnortnnt: for examole. sewing for girls. He explained how sewing was introduced into the Eugene schools by the help of the Women's Club. He mad a nlea for teaching cooking in the schools, but if that is impossible, the schools should offer rewards for home cooking, by the children. The Eugene boys are making garden and learningto use tools. Prizes were offered for the best work in these things so that their interest was in- creased. Everv bov and girl should go out into life skilled in at least one thing. Dr. Sheldon concluded the after noon's work by a sketch of the "Best Liked Teacher." The necessary quali fications for a "born" teacher are: 1 Love for children. 2 A touch of egoism; that is, a desire to show others the right way. 3 A little altruism; a wish to help others. The greatest disqualifications for any teacher are: ' 1 Sarcasm. . 2 Teacher's pets 3 Variableness. 4 Irritability. The best liked teacher must have: 1 Sympathy. 2 Effectiveness. 3 Cheerfulness. 4 Aooeararice. Both the morning and after- .
