The undersigned respectfully dosires to inform
Mastors of vesai-ls entering tUe port of Astoria
that there actually exist such as real livutteve

obliged to travel a hundred miles up the river to
find one. and in the end be compelled to take the
man particularly pointed oat to them by the Port
land rinc w aether agreeable to the Captain or uot,
take him he mubt. I remarked they were com
pelled to take the man puiuted out to them and I
repeat it: for, the bhipm.-.&tefij once inthe saucto

tiently to bubmit to the one man concern.
It is a well known fact that stevedore Dills con
stitute one of the piincipal itei:& of ships billb in
.ail commercial perts: but under the present sys
tematic arrangements of the Portland nnj; mana
gers, the Captains opiniou on tiiat subject, there,
is never called into qnostioa or consulted, evory
precaution being studiously taken, and every
avenue to approach the Captain on that subject
by outsiders being zealously guarded b the toters
and wire-pullers of the nug leaves no alternatives,
but. fortns Captain submissively to accept the
conditions iieiu out uy wit-iu.
But 1 will here take tne.ibcrly tosUite, for the
special benefit of ship Masters, and 1 am able to
prove my asertion, tUat 1 can save to any ship
Captain or owner tue tound sum of three hun
