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.

mencement of Qithlamenj; bay is the

-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

The channel is'often crooked, and dim
wit' of navigation, ,and the' bar, at the
mouth of the "Willamette river is subject
to Annual deposts of pediment from back
water of the Columbia. -
We find that the carrying trade of
)regpiiis now chiefly, done by vessels of
light draft and small capacity. hI .

Or,a dividend of 19 per cent, on cost of
the larger ship as against 5 per cent on
that of the tmaller Or, to reduce both to
5 per cent., the 3,000 ton ship will carry
wheat to Liverpool for over a third less
than the 1,000 ton vesql; that is 29 cents
against 45 cents per bushel. 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

Again, deep sea vessels never like to
leave the salt water. 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,

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..
