THE OTHER SIDE.
We give in-full a letter written
to the Oregonian, in answer to the
letter which was written here by
English shipmasters last Novem
ber, and sent to the Liverpool Mer
cury for publication.
The manifesto of Captain Jones,
of the ship Derbyshire; Captain
Westland, ship Strathblanc; Cap
tain Bubb, ship Fernglen; Captain
Crompton, bark Tait Sing; Cap
tain Alexander, bark Mary Low;
Captain Livingston, bark Lanark
shire, and Captain Morgan of ship
Charles "VVorsley, of Nov. 1, which
was published in the Liverpool
Mercury and the Now York Mari
time Register and in your own
columns under date of Nov. 5,
1881, needs refutation, which can
be done by items. I copy froin
saiu letter:
the pout ok fobtl..vi, obeuox.
Portland, Or., Nov. 1, 1 831.
Gentlemen. For the future
guidance of ship-owners and mas
ters coming to this port, we re
quest you to be kind enough to in
sert this letter in your paper. Be-
ing interested in the shipping
world, it iehooves us to state that
the exorbitant charges at this port
surpass any that have ever before
como to our notice. We will
allow that freights at the present
time are very good. But, to coun
teract this, the danger connected
with the bar, the pilotage and
steam expenses up the river, aie
such that they literally swallow all
the profits.
Because of pilot rates which are
fixed by State law and bar towage
rates fixed by caprico, charges in
this regard to Portland arc higher
than they should be, and in conse
quence, and with the chances of
lighterage from Portland to Asto
ria, ship-owners have been able to
obtain ah excess of five shillings
per ton for freight above San Fran
cisco rates. By reference to your
disbursement accounts of the ship
Merwamjee Framjee, in my pos
session, two for San Francisco
loading and two for Portland by
setting the items of towage, pilot
age, lining, surveying, hauling
ballast, stevedorage, consul fees,
water, lighterage and wharfage
parallel to each other, which items
stand in natural contrast and are
the only ones in a ship's disburse
ment account as between these
two ports by which to tost of the
relative difference of cost we find
that one trip to San Francisco cost
this ship $1 79 per ton of carrying
capacity, the other, $1 70 per ton;
one trip to Portland, $2 31 per ton,
the other 82 03 per ton. Bv this
it may be seen that though this
vessel is of a class the worst de
signed for business in the Colum
bia, drawing twenty-two feet load
ed, there is a relative difference of
but Is. Gd. per ton, whereas the
owners recoup by exacting fivo
shillings. Wo also have in hand
the disbursement accounts of a
ship whose carriage .was but
twenty-five tons less than the one
above referred to (cleared in Octo
ber) in which the items above seg
gregated make $2 03 per ton, one
of 1250 tons carriage at 1 64 per
ton, and one of 106C tons at $1 74
per ton.
These veritable items of con
trasted expenditure sufficiently re
fute the absurd statement closing
the quotation given.
There are many charges, we re
gret to state, which are well known
to the inhabitants of this town to
be an imposition. We will men
tion one, that. of wharfage at Asto
ria, the wharf belonging to a Port
land company, who also receive
pay for all the -lightering.
Because the owners of wharves
at Astoria, who would have no
other source of rovenuo from them,
if wharfage were not charged
choose to exact a find pro quo for
services renderedat their wharves
for lightered cargo, -we think a dis
interested reader will naturally
conclude there can be no griev
ance in this. The growl is occa
sioned by the fact that no where
else in the world, perhaps, than
here ut Portland, is no charge
made against ships for wharfage;
and thee disgruntled captains are
disgusted because it is not free at
Astoria, too, and seek to implicate
us for the wharf regulations of the
port of Astoria.
The jealousy that exists between
Portland and Astoria is such that
only small portions of cargo are
sent down and that at lonjr inter
vals, to any vessel loading at the
latter port.
This foolish accusation arose
from the fact that thp ship Derby
shire was chartered by tho Salem
flouring mills to load a cargo of
flour at Astoria. Tho Salern mills,
not having tho flour ground ready
for immediate shipment, sent the
flour forward at their convenience
as manufactured, by reason of
which most of the ship's lay days
were consumed, and the captain
could only look at this ordinary ex
perience as founded on jealousy
between Portland and Astoria.
Another very serious matter is
that vessels consigned to Portland,
with only a very ordinary draught,
cannot b'e 'completely loaded there,
and even then arc frequently stuck
in going down on the river banks,
the steamer charges still continu
ing at tho rate of 8 per hour for
dotcntion. o have known a caso
in which, under these unjust rules,
a master had to nay as much as
1,740 for extra lighterage and
. . .; . , I
detention.
It is known in shipping -circles
the world over that there is more
or less lighterage for deep draught
ships between Portland and As
toria. All the disbursement ac
counts above quoted contain items
covering this charge, and in the
62 21 per ton average of tho dis
bursement account of tho Mer
wanjeo Framjee is an item O. R.
& N. Co. when aground, 174.
So that her vicissitudes were quite
as great as an average of the most
unfortunate. The case referred to
in the quotation, was that of the
Tait Sing, whose pilot grounded
her out of the channel, for which
his commission was taken from
him. Tho O. R. & N. Co. were
obliged to provide lighters and
steamers for sovoral days to relieve
the ship from its predicament.
They made an extra chargo for 3J
days detention, for which they
charged only 150, and for taking
169 tons from ship to float her,
and carrying to Astoria inclusive
of wharfage, $210 95, making a
total of $300 90 for "extras' in
stead oi the $1,740 above referred
to.
This accusation grew out of an
unfounded rumor which reached
Capt. Crompton at Astoria, that
extra charges on his ship for
grounding were over 1,740, which
he made much of there, until in
formed of its falsity when he apol
ogized to tho representatives of
the O. It. & N. Co., and expressed
himself as well satisfied with their
reasonable charges, which indeed
they woro. The total charge for
lighterage of tho Tait Sing, inclus
ive of the items for detention re
ferred to, was 61,023 75.
In connection with this matter
it may not be amiss to say that the
O. R. & N. Co. have only had oo-
casion to tax three other ships this
fall for extra lijjhterajre or deten
tion, the extra charges in these
cases aggregating S224.
"We will further state that, to
strangers, opposition hero in the
nver towage appears to bo very
strong, but with a little personal
observation it is not difficult to sen
how the two parties engaged in it
join hand in hand.
Of all the charges against Port
land the aboyo has less foundation
in faot than any other. "We have
it from reliable authority that tow- j
ajre averages much hisher from
San Francisco to and from Yailejo.
Benicia or Port Costa than from
Portland to and from Astoria, and
all the ships chartered to San
Francisco have a clause in the
charter party which may send any
of them to the above ports at the
ship's expense without extra piy.
With regard to approaching As
toria bar, there has been great
neglect on tho part of the authori
ties in not making known to tlm
shipping world the new lights that
have been erected. The lifeboat
authorities also would do well to
try and afford to keep more than
one man. We have lately seen
a case in which a wholo ship's
crew nearly perished, soldiers be
ing the only volunteers of tho life
boat. . Vessels are fiequently de
tained here for a length of time
owing to the unwarrantable prac
tice of kidnapping the seamen im- (
mediately ou the vessels arrival.
This is more properly an arraign
ment of the United States Govern
ment than of the poit of Portland.
In conclusion I would say that
while I admit that pilotage and
bar towage is much too high, that
it is the studied determination of
the mercantile community to gain
from our state legislature a reduc
tion in the rates which tho law
now prescribes. When the legis
lature next convenes, tint body
will be apprised of the true state
of affairs and an oijraimed effort
will be made to reduce pilot char
ges at least one-half. It is also a
,, ., i f
tact well Known mat oecause oi
the stupidity of some nno in au
thority tho Government failed this
fall to operate the dredger on tho
shallow bars in the Columbia by
means of which we were left in an
unfortunate predicament; but the
determination of tho- taxpayers .of
Portland to vote a fund to do this
work, if the Government fails, will
do away with one grievance, and
it will bo safe to count that any
lighterage below nineteen feet
draught will, fr om the first of next
j September, be obviated.
In the matter of stevedorage,
wharfage, water cost, lining and
surveyor's fees, this port is cheaper
than San Francisco; also provis
ions, stores, and ship's general
equipments are cheaper. The
stevedores of Now York and Phila
delphia charged the various rail
road iron ships in port from 20 to
25 cents more per ton to put tho
iron into thpm than our stovedores
charge for getting it out. Our
lighterage and water is free, and
our surveyor charges $5 below the
rate he' is allowed by custom
Lumber for lining is necessarily
cheaper here than anywhere; so
that we do not hazard much in
claiming in these items that we
discount any port in the universe
in the matter of cheap charges.
Tho evils wo labor under wo must
oorrect. That they have beeu ex
aggerated prompts this refutation.
