ASTORIA, OREGON:
"WEDNESDAY....' MAT 2. 18S3
En Passant.
An article in the Orejonian of
the 30th ult., entitled "Mr. Villard
and Portland," makes the. excel
lent point that something more
than railroads are needed to make
a great city: that a commercial
center depends more upon water
ways than railways. It instances
Indianapolis, which, despite its
being a "great railroad center," is
far behind Chicago which occu
pies a commanding situation on
Lake Michigan. "Why," says
the Oregonian, "is San Francisco
a greater city than its neighbor,
Sacramento? It is because it is
on deep water, and if all the rail
roads in America should terminate
at Sacramento, it would still be
secondary." Just so. Our con
temporary states the fact exactly
as it exists. The article goes on
to speak of other shipping points.
It says: "Our wheat and salmon
must always be sent away by
ships, and we cannot load a ship
on Puget Sound without playing
into the hands of a rival city."
This is also true, but the implica
tion is not warranted. Why ig
nore the natural "shipping point"
for the great Columbia basin?
We assume that the Orcgo
nian intends being just as
well as generous, and that in
discussing a subject of such im
portance it rises in thought be
yond the Willamette. It speaks
of sending wheat away in ships.
The Astoriax has demonstrated
plainly and positively that wheat
can be shipped cheaper from As
toria the natural shipping point
for the Columbia basin, than
from Portland. Denial of this in
no way affects the validity of the
fact. Our Portland contemporary
speaks of shipping salmon, as
though it were a doubtful project,
and one that Portland must with
many regrets let go to other
points. We need but remind the
Oregonian of a fact that it oi
course knows already; that salmon
is constantly shipped from Astoria,
and not from Portland. A refer
ence to our files shows that dung
last season there cleared from the
Columbia river, foreign-bound,
salmon-laden, the WarilvcJc.JSdwin
Reed) Glengarry ,Langrigg Ifall,
Eliocll, Jan. tf. Bain, Wallace
town, Wolfe, Annie Johnson and
others. In all over 330,000 cases
of sal men left here for England.
The number of cases loaded at As
toria come very near aggregating
the same figure. So that the fact
that salmon "must always be sent
away by ships" need not consti
tute one of the cares of life in the
pleasant inland city on the Wil
lamette. The Orcgonian is eminently
correct in calling the attention of
Portlanditps to tho fact that the
bars in the Columbia should be
improved; their improvement is of
vital importance to Portland. But
the communities of the lower Co
lumbia which The Astokian rep
resents, object to the tacit as
sumption that, Portland is all that
is worth mentioning in discussing
a matter that affects the interest
of us all.
Portland is nearer the producers
of the northwest than any other
possible port can be. And that
settles the matter of the shipping
point. Oregonian.
This is "a little more than kin
and less than kind." It is brief
and sententious. Its brevity con
stitutes its only merit. "While the
verbiage of the above brochure is
susceptible to a variety of con
structions, yet we presume it is the
intention of the writer to convey
his idea that Portland by reason of
its situation has "the call" over
any other shipping point in Ore
gon or Washington Territory;
present or prospective. Without
going into details, at present, it
need but be said that our Astoria
chamber of commerce demon
strated last season that the entire
cargo of deep water ships could
be put on board cheaper at Asto
ria than to be partially loaded at
Portland. So much for the pres
ent state of affairs. In the event
of the completion of the road from
Forest Grove, it would become a
question very easy of solution as
whether it would be cheaper to
ship Willamette wheat to Astoria
there to be loaded, or to carry it
first to Portland, there to be
stowed and loaded and unloaded
and handled and finally rehandled
at Astoria to the great loss of theJ
"producers of the northwest."
The Oregon Short Line, accord
ing to Sidney Dillon "will go to
tide water." There is no intention
says the Nez Perce News to stop
at Baker City and the recent
agreement with the 0. R. & N.
Co., does not prevent extending
the road; there are now parties of
surveyors on Snake and Burnt
rivers, and this force will be
augmented as the season ad
vances. "A monument is proposed to
Peter ooper's memory." Peter
Cooper built his own monument,
and the good healthful influence
of the Cooper Institute will per
petuate the name and fame of that
good old man better than the
grandest monument that was ever
built.
