A Plain View of tho Question oF Cheap
Freights and Fares.
Llltnr Willamette Fanner :
While at tlio Slato Fair ou Tuesday
I saw tho posten of the opposition
Steamship Company put up, heard the
boast ful promises of the agents of thttt
company, and tho romarhs of bystand
er., all of which led to a ttaln of thought
within my own mind, that I shall tako
tho liberty to Jot down.
Wo have cheap ocean freights ami
faros botween Portland and S.m Fran
cK'O. It is acknowledged that .Steam
ships cannot tlo tho business nt these
rates ami that comebotly Is losing mon
ey, which leads to the Inquiry, is there
any corresponding good resulting to the
public. Tho animus of tho opposition
is not by any means benevolent. It Is
simply contained In tho assertion and
throat nudo by tho California company
thnt they havo a lot of old steamers on
hand and that somebody " has got to
buy them:" which onlv means that
they will run opposition until they
forco tho Oregon Steamship Company
to buy the rotten hulks that will no
longer answer to run in thelrCalifornia
coast trade. Thero is no motivo but
sordid gain contemplated by such an
opposition and wo havo before our eyes
tho fato of tho twin of these hulks, the
steamer Paclilc, which wont down,
crushed like an egg shell, and whose
story of wreck sent u thrill of honor
through this whole community, and
through tho civilized world. It l.s
neither unkind nor unjust to say aud
bclluvo that us tho winter storms swoop
this northern coast a similar disaster is
muro-thnn liable to oct-ur to tlio OrIaabar
Aticon, los Angoioi, op. any other
steamer now owned by 'tho Califor
nia company, while tho same cannot
bo said of tin steamers used by
tho Oregon company, which has laid
up and refuses to run bettor vessels
hotter than aro now u.sed by this oppo
sition. Hut wo havo cheap faro and
freights, you say! Wo reallzo that ma
ny Oregoulans tiro visiting San Francis
co to spend money there that they
need for improvements, nnd to pay
their debts at home, nnd wo also real
lzo that hundreds of tramps, bummers,
gamblers aud good-for-nothings, aro
brought to Oregon that wo must consid
er a curse, and It is vory rjucstloimbln
if the legitimate immigration Is at all
Increased, which leaves Oregon deci
dedly loser, nnd even If tho producer
reaps a smad advantage from cheaper
freights, that docs not alter tlio propo
sition that tho producer can niways af
ford to pay tho actual cost of transport
ing ills products to markot, and mid
thoroto a safe margin for tho ship
o iVtior. It cannot bo sensibly urged by
any ono that ocean freights nnd fares
should fall below running expenses,
nnd senslblo men must recogul.o that
whenever this rival warfare is overbite
successful competitor will havo to, 'mid
.mure to put "up prices to compensate
for tlio period of loss, f;e tlm louyer it
lusts the ivorse oj' we niall be. Such
competition Is like war, that proves a
posltlvo loss, whoever gains.
It woultl bo appropriate In this con
nection to reel to tho ago and history of
thuso opposition stoamor.s, that bravo
tho storms of ocean at the bed: of
greedy owners when their ancient his
tories nnd rotten hulls make It a crime
for them to lin.attl the lives of confid
ing passengers. If tho facts needed
proof dud recital they could easily be
given, but they aro not needed. Tho
public know as well that the steamers
of tho O. S. S. company aro now and
staunch and insure saiety as much as
human skill can accomplish it
It seems to me that it will bo an ad
vautttgo to recall soma facts relating to
tho (Jorinan capitalists who own our
railroads and steumers. In tho first
place they purchased tho railroad bonds
uud wero ultimately compelled, in self-
Voliimo IX, Number H8.
I (1nfnti.n ii tti1i ii wind titwl tilt wilmufk
tUII.,V t lltltw II V Wt tlllt 'k.lll 7V7
the .steamship lino owned by Hen
llolladay. They had been heavy losers
s far by their investment In Oregon
enterprise, but they wont to work im
mediately to doeryo tho conlldenco
ami good-will of tho people of Oregon.
There has been no meddling with
our State tillitlty; no attempted corrup
tion of our legislattues, the railroad
has been conducted In n safe and in u
strictly business manner: thcstcnmshlp
line ba been transformed from tho
old hulks left by lien llolladay to now,
a No. 1, Iron steamers that mako ocean
travel safe and delightful, nnd show
conscientious tegard on tho part of tho
German owners for tlio people whoso
trade they teek. Wo know, too, that
another largo and elegant ship Is to bo
ordered ns soon as tho grand ship
.Multnomah arrives next spring, and
we see that highest consideration, both
in regard to steamships nud railroad, in
manifested, which strikes mo its unus
ual and littlo to be expected (though
much tobo desired) in this day of greet!
and corruption.
If this opposition had not enmo on
wo should havo seen tho profits of tho
Ocean tratlo used to extend tho west
side railroad (In which I, for one, havo
an ospcclnl Interest) from St. Jo6 south,
at least twenty-llvo miles bofore anoth
er full. In short: wo havo In theso
German capitalists men who identify
themselves with Oregon prosperity,
nnd wiio recognize that their Interests
nnd ours tiro uni. They llvo where
money brings only small earnings nnd
won't grumble If we pay them only
it moderate inlurosl ou capital invested.

All sensible men must recogulzo that
wo havo n great Interest in their suc
cess, and my own view of It is that
every Orogonian should, from princi
ple, give his patronage ut this time to
tho old Hue, ns u mark of respect and
good will.
In conclusion, let me call to niliitl
that at the timu this opposition started
these men charged no high rates to
speak of. Iloth ou tho railroad and on
tho ocean their charges were moderate
aud left no ground for dissatisfaction.
Had not theso Germans advanced their
money to build this road wo should
have proba'-ly had no railroad travel
through this valley to this day and
have lacked tlio development, tho pros
perity ami tho social improvement
that follows It.
All I claim is that in prosecution of
their own business cntcrprUcn the Ger
mans net reasonably and honorably by
us nud do not show tho corporate greed
so comiuou to our country, and so long
as they Identify themselves thin close
ly uud liberally with the Interests of
Oregon, I, as an Oregonlttn, propose to
identify mvr-olf with tho enterprises
they control, mi far as I may.
