ASTORIA. 0BER09:
FRIDAY DECEMBER 22, 18b2
J. F. HALLVKAX.
Editor
A Growing Kecessitj.
TnE commercial column of to
day's Astoria shows that there
are twelve merchant vessels bar
bound at Baker's bay. Some of
these vessels were ready six weeks
ago; the captains chafe at the de
lay; the crews hang around with
but little to do but -watch the
storm wrack flying across the
mouth of the turbulent river, and
nothing goes on but the expense.
Each vessel lying down there this
morning represents a daily aggre
gate of 6100 cost of detention.
The detention of these vessels
thus represents a loss to the
owners so far, of 23,G00. A year
ago the Oregonian commenting
on a similar state of affairs, by
direct implication made it appear
that "what is needed is more tugs."
There is now what would appear
. to be sufficient tug service, with
. all the incentives that competition
excites to insure prompt and
speedy departure of these vessels,
but there they lie, for the simple
reason that the bar is too rough
for any tug however powerful, to
make any attempt at towing.
Hence we think it is evident to
every one not blinded by local
prejudice that it is not for lack of
towing facilities that that dozen
wheat ships lie in Baker's bay.
The figures we have given repre
sent a direct loss to the owners;
they also represent a direct loss to
all who are interested in the pros
perity of this place; they repre
sent a direct loss to every man
who owns property, to every man
who is in business, as well as to
every ono who raises :t bushel of
wheat, or digs a bushel of potatoes,
or cuts a log, or puts up a can of
salmon. It represents a direct
loss to any one who had hand or
part in the shipment of the 32G,
000 tons of exports that have been
loaded in the Columbia river since
the fiist day of January last.
If there is any other work of
greater importance in the north
x' "west than the improvement of the
hr 'Columbia river bar, we arc" jiot
. aware of its existence. If there
is any other work more impera
tively necessary, by reason of its
great and constantly growing ne
cessity, within the limits of the
American Union, we are like
wise uninformed as to what or
where it is.
To the south lies San Francisco,
with a bay that would float the
fleets of the world, and a com
paratively safe and easy entrance;
to the north isPuget Sound, using
every argument that individual
benefit or commercial gain can
suggest, to build up its ocean
tradp; between the two is the Co
lumbia, the gatoway of a greater
scope of country than either San
Francisco or the Sound can point
to, but' with an obstruction that,
unless speedily removed, must
prove of great and permanent loss
to the people that dwell in the
country that it drains.
Neither the president nor the
secretary of the interior has made
any recommendation or reference
as to the important questions in
volved in the continued with
drawal from public settlement of
over 100,000,000 acres of public
lands, withdrawn as railroad grants
and wholly unearned by the
corporations for whose benefit they
were originally made These
grants were all conditionally made,
and the terms have not been com
plied with, but these terms them
selves make it imperative for con
gress to act. "In our judgment,"
says an article in the Washing
ton Gazette, "there is a manda
tory duty resting upon congress
which" has been too long
evaded and neglected. It was
the Republican party that
first pronounced against the con
tinuance of the land grant policy.
The Ohio state convention of 1868
so declared, and the national con
r ventions of 1808, 1872 and 1876
'all adopted declarations of a simi
lar character. The failure of con
grew to act gives color, force and
oonaietency to the charge that the
railroad lobby,ismore powerful than
the people. The liandwriting is on
the waR, the people have declared
' that thejrreat monopolies shall
is J1 wore than their pound cf
ad parties and politician
taktfattd."
