C33 'B THE ASTORIAN. SATURDAY... i.x3tr 19, 1873 t i .' COMMERCIAL STATISTICS i Report mtfic Harbor xind Shipping qf the' port of Aslot;iafiacts Im portant to' Vic Public At a meeting, of the Astoria Cham ber of Commerce,' libld in May last7 a committee was appointed to pre pare fctatisticsof the harbor and ship ping of the port of Astoria, for use at tic "Farmer's Convention. Following IB the report in full. Your committee to whom was referred I the matter of harbor, and shipping intelli gence, beg leave to offer the follewing: The water front of-Astoria, varying from a quarter of am'iletoamiiein width affords over sax miles of secure unehorage for the largebt clashed vessels, in from six to twelve fathoms of;Wiiter. No storms have jet vi&ited the harbor that effected any Iamage to shipping "riding at anchor in the bay, or lying at the wharf. - Should the demands of commerce re-; qiiire, ahout five consecutive mil es of dock ae may be,cheaply constructed from the river, bank to the edge of the channel, piling being 'necessary but a short dU iance at any given point. The central portion ofthe harbor is just twelve miles inside the Columbia river bar, on which there is twenty-foUr feet of water at-extreme low tide, and thirty-four at ordinary high tider After crossing the bar, ithe clepth holds still greater all the way to Astoria, so that any vessel able to cross can safely Tcnture to our docks. A6ut eixiniles abovfe Astoria, at the com mencement of Qithlamenj; bay is the iqg's iC back,a:bar some.quarter of a mile ill lUUgtU,' tVllUUU ltJUl UI WO.W3IU.L 1UW illlU -eighteen feet at high tidfc-JTJiib is the most langerouspoint-on theriver, and the most skillful pilots never attempt its, pas sage inVthe night,, either with sailorsteam. It is formed of shifting sands, deposited by the meeting ofthetwe with the arinualJ iresneis 01 me river, as amiamejt pay is ten .miles long up and down the river, and from-eeven to fourteen in width. Thus the waters of the river are so .spread out that they -lose their force, and the incoming' tiae wasnes tne loose sana mio irregular, bars that cliange their position -frpm year "to year, and make, dredging useless. Steamers are nearly always detained at Astoria, for tide to cross this bar, and Shouldjone arrive here, say at 12 M. when she would haveto -wait omtil 11 a. m. the next day, as she couldxiot ptoceed on the high tiue of thanlght. Thislar has been known for years, but as the draft of steam-1 -ere and vessels now coming into the river is greater than, formerly, the difficulties are becoming more arid more apparent. There is the following named depths of wm.er at uio pomis menuoneu at xiign .tide: .- Walker's Island.19 ftlfo'rK mile bol6w Rainier Carr'sWoodyard " " " "- above Kalama ,... '-4 "..utiui - ."

Add to AiU the cost as above figured, incidental tib delays and river expenses of 4 cents' per bushel, and it gives a net gain ot20 cents per bus-hel in favor of Astoria, as an ex porting harbor, and the employment of such, vessels as can safely cross the bar, over the present arrangement of Portland and small vessels, SSventy cents per bushel on the estimated crop of the State fdr 1878, viz: 5,000,000 bushels, gives the snug little sum of $1,000,000 that the farm er -should have for his labor. The above figures are all substantially correct, "ana tell their own story, ' It may be said that several large vessels have loaded at Portland, but the Gustqm Houie records show that of the twenty vessels named below, comprising' all the vessels of any size that have sailed from the river with wheat, from a fourth 'to over one-half of the cargo was brought? down to Astoria in steamooats and -hem put on board. And yet these records dip more. favorable to the 'city of Portland :than the facts justify, for the reason that .in a numher of .instances, two, or three hundred tons was cleared from -th Porf ,laud Custom House as being on board when i'11 'fact' it was in lighters and, stearrf ers alongside of the ship, and towed down to Astoria before beincr nlaced'tm" the ves sels .

Coasters are willing to steamboat it, but large vessels avoid steamboat grounds. In fact, the "underj writers do not allow deep sea vessels t venture from their natural element at will. - i 1 The striking of a vessel on any of thfe bars' of the river, .even if no immediate damage is discovered, is sufficient cause tb render nullimd. void the policy of insiuf ance, should she take in cargo and pro ceed to sea without being "put on the'dry dock and having her bottom examined. Should a shin be, lost under such circum stances,, not a dollar of insurance could be collected on the vessel, and if the owners were responsible, the underwriters upon the cargo would hold. them for 'the value thereof. Hence large vessels will never be-in'duced to undertake the navigation of the bars ofthe Columbia above Astoria. Now as to the safety of the Columbia river. Exact data is wanting ofthe whole number of vessels that have 'crossed the bar, -"but from certain periods during "which the data is complete, we are enabled to approximate very closely, and set the number down at an average of five hun dred a year for the, last twenty-one years, or since 1S52. The following is a com plete list of all the losses or wrecks that; have Occurred on the bar since 1852,- which year may be considered the beginning of wisdom as regards the channels, currents, &c, on or abput th&bar. Barks Iendora, and iaterrithew. lost January, 12th, 1853, came in without pilots, wind tailed after getting in, and they drifted ashore. j Bark Oriole, lost September 19th, i8e3: Brig Detroit, lost Dec. 22, 1855, on outer spit. .Going out at night. . j Bark Dodemona, lost Dec. 31st, 1856. Came In without a pilot, ran on sands six miles inside. . j Schooner "Woodpecker lostIay 10, 1861, four miles inside. i Bark Industry ,lost March 16, 1865, conn ing in without a pilot. j BarkW. B. Scranton, lost May 5th, 1867. Only eight vessels in twenty-one years'. Eight out of 10,500. One. out of 1,312, or one-thirteenth of one per cent, ofthe dip ping cominginto the river. Of this number, four were coming in without pilots. It tuther appears that nearf ly every loss during the time under reveiw, was the result, not of a rough bar, but of the wind failing after the vessel had crossed thus leaving her to drift on the sands. It also seenis that each loss of vessels coming in occurred when they were sailing against the tide, instead of with it. "' There being no tug to go to their relief, 1 1 Yttwii market tfcas ():are JirtiereJ: jm tk tl ai i knownto Maris amount, cr4ite - yi-- of course there coutd he no rescue. It is hafe to say that, had there "been a tug at handevjjry vPetthubrfar Jot on thqbar micht have beed saved. Since the placing ofthe tug Astoria upon -the bar, or pilot grounds in 1S69, there hashcen no loss, and with proper care on the part oftijpand pilotbytliereiiged, be tidne ibr manyxears to come, nieae facts" warrant is in mak ing the bold abortion, that there is no barr ed harbor known to commerce, where the percentage of loss is &o small; and few, if any, open harbors that can show so fair a record. The currents and prevailing winds are such, and the land marks so well defined, that at a time when it is un safe to crobs the bar, vessels outside can readily keep off, and wait a suitable time to enter. And there is good holding grounds but a few hundred rods inside for vessels bound out to anchor, and. select irom the sopt their own time to pass out. Less trouble is experienced from fogs at the Columbia, than either to the north or south, as they are not frequent, and are much less dense, owing, no doubt, to the presence of atrial currents, resulting from peculiar physical conformations. The channel is distinctly bouyed out, and lighted by a first class light-house on Cape Disappointment, where is established a life saving station by Government, with all the necessary facilities for rendering aid in case of accident on the bar. Gov ernment has also made an appropriation fora-lighthouse at Point Aaams, and preparations are going forward for com mencing the work at once. The commerce of Oregon has hereto fore been taxed by underwriters far abovi? tli&properjiand reasonable rate. But, ab the rate of insuarance is made un from a knowledge of the actual pro rata of losU-i muiueiu.10 a given naroor, wnen sucn. datais to behad, or guessed at from gen- umiHupresfeions, m tne aDsence oi renaoie information, there seems no good reason wjiy, if the above facts are laid before the vanousmarine underwriters of the land', the "discrimination againtt the Columhia rissijbtoxhould not he removed, and our insurance had at a fair rate, much lessq than is now imposed. Another important point gained h milking Astoria the exporting harbor, would be the employment of home capi tal in. the river tranportation, instead of foreign, or outside, aa is now done. Thb question is now never raised ahout Sandy Hook bar, at the entrance of New York harbor, "being too shallow and rough for the extensive and profitable employment of all classes of vessels, yet there is live feet more water on the Columhia river bar at high tide, than there is on Sandy Hook at a corresponding stage of water. But, to conclude, it is evidentthat the class of vessels required toItcarry the suplus pro ducts of Oregon to a " foreign market, at a price consistent with theoost of production, must stop at the mouth of the Columhia river. Thereforeifris itsimple problem of whether Oregon wftl build up and main tain a seaoort townrworihv of a eroat State, within her'owri horclers, or whether. such a place will ! -i. i on rugut Sound, or California, at an annual cost of one-fourth the agricultural wealth of the State. 5..
