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.
