SHIPPERS' SENTIMENTS.
The following extracts show the senti
ments ot Inland Empire . shippers with
respect to the Regulator line and the
river ronte. The names of the writers
are purposely omitted, as it is part and
parcel of the policy" of the "system"
to "punish a shipper" when they find
out that such .shipper has attempted to
protect his personal Bank account by
practicing the economy of shipping by
the cheirpest route. This is a strict vio
lation of U. P. R. rules: They want all
the money for the freight that the goods
will stand,, for the ."system." These
commeuts read as follows:
No. 1 says: "They (the U. P. B. Co.)
don't seem to like us to ship this way,
but we are not married to them. It
pays to ship via your line, even though
handicapped by portage and transfer."
No. 2. says: "They hold our goods
from one to two weeks, in order to force
us to snip all rail."
No. 3 says: "Their latest dodge in to
hold our goods, to compel us- to ship
through them ; hut we - order ahead.
They threaten to reduce our service, if
our merchants patronize your line. It
is a matter of dollars and cents to us.
"We have saved nearly $200.00 by ship
ping through you. They can drive us
farther away, but never nearer, by-their
present methods. "
No. 4 nays : "We can assure you that
we are highly pleased with our first deal
with your company. The goods came
througu in tine shape, and we are gainers
by several dollais through water trans
portation." No. 5 says: "We have saved over
nine dollars on one shipment of dry
goods." The list auight be Indefinitely ex
tended ; hut the above is sufficient to
show the. increased and wide spread
sentiment of Inland Empire shippers,
respecting the advantages accruing to
business by the use or the facilities af
forded the public by utilizing the steam
ers of The Dalles, Portland and Astoria
'Navigation company ; and the slate
jiortage railway ; on the Columbia river,
between this city and Portland. A sen
timent which is selt'-iuipuseil, from pecu
niary motives, and which is even more
richly deserving of recognition than the
bestowals of patronage attest. It .was
not expected, by the projectors of the
Regulator Line, that they wsAild amass
a fortune by their investments, hut they
have the proud satisfaction of knowing
that they have coni'eried permanent
betieJlUi upon the commerce of the Inland
Km pil e, and it is satisfying to them to
realize that their efforts have been
measurably appreciated, and they can
look hopeful y to the future lor a proper
regaru f tiieir enterprise when the pub
lic generally fully understand the situa
tion. The tullnees of this understand
ing is coming; surely and certainly;
even though it be tardy in some
quarters.
It appears to be necessary for the
country press to take a hand in the
mortgage tax question, and indebted
ness clause of our assessment laws, and
decide the matter, as Ihe Portland
-chamber of couiinerce have done
nothing but quarrel over the subject,
and it an assemblyman wanted any
slight it would be very dim, coming from
that source. Thb Ohbonicxk voices
public expression in this division of the
i state when it says the people are almost
. a unit in favor of the repeal of both
clauses. If the interior press will take
Mhe subject up and discuss it from the
popular standpoint, it will not be diffi-;
cult for the average legislator to under
stand that the people are heartily sick
and tired of permitting Portland influ
ences to provide themselves with a law
suited to per.-onal conveniences for
. avoiding the payment of their just pro
portion of the st te taxes, which the un
sophisticated and honest plebian is
afraid to adopt for fear of getting a term
. in the penitentiary for perjury. This is
Just about the long and short of it, and
The Chhonjci.k so plainly stated the
matter when the board of equalization
was in The Dalles, that Mr. Wingate. a
member of the board, admitted the
truthfulness of the prop- sition.
It is perhaps nothing more than right
t6 give the Portland chamber of com
jnerce . credit for honest intentions in
their effort to present the facts in regard
to fees of sheriffs and clerks, in such
manner as to cause the repeal of existing
laws and substitute one providing suit
able salaries forsnch officials, and turn
ing all fees into the county treasuries.
The lesson of economy tanght by the
Washington state and county salary
system, which by the way, was the main
object of attack from the democracy dur
ing the recent campaign, bad a very
desirable effect' in educating the people
of Washington, to..the beauty. of the
system, and has also .had a tendency to
open the eyes of. the Oregou'press to the
''ma extravagance." -'of the present
