Another Country Heard From.
.A Northern Pacific map, issued last
month and circulated with advertise
ments of the company, is u little worse
than the map wo mentioned the other
day. That did include Seattle, though
the city was located on a wagon road
back in the country, without rail connec
tion of any kind whatever. This map
dosen't even do that much for the town,
but leaves it oH altogether, with all three
of its railroads. All other connections of
the Northern Pacific Railroad, from Du
luth to Tacoma, "Wilkenson and Carbon
ado, aro properly placed, including even
the big company is said to be at. war.
Such cities as Tenino, Kulama and Uma
tilla stand out boldly in capital letters
cities of less than 1UU inhabitants each,
to Seattle's 10,030 while the towns of
Olequa, Oneonta, Juniper, Lind, Trent,
etc., that have yet to attain a population
of 25 souls each, aro equally distinctly
marked, though in ordinary type. Though
tho grievance hero is tho severest, by
reason of this being tho largest town and
being the terminus of at least three roads
included in tho Northern Pacific system,
Seattle has the melancholy satisfaction
of not being the only considerable town
.slighted, as neither "Astoria, Vancouver,
uor Port Townsend are to bo found upon
the map. Other companies will place us
on their maps, however, if the Northern
Pacific will not, and in exemplification

Northern Pacific railroad had reduced
the volume of that trade about 75 per

And (lie Proper Sblpplnc Point for t'olnmbla
Commerce.
The following is taken from yester
day's Oregonian:
PORTLAND OK ASTORIA.
Pobtlixd, Or., Dec. 20, 1883.
To THE EDITOB Or THE ObEGONIAN:
Notwithstanding tho universal axiom
of commerce, that "it is cheaper to bring
the ships to the produce, than to take
tho produce to the ship," The Astouian
of the Wth instant, in detailing particu
lars of shipments by the Ice King, con
siders it nec3ssary to erst one more of its
frequent slurs against Portland, assert
ing that by not coming here the said ship
had saved" the sum of $4000 in her dis
bursements, and intimating that such a
saving would be made by all vessels load
ing there instead of here. I will admit
that tho Ice King, which loaded salmon,
did save by loading at Astoria, or in other
words, she saTed by loading as near as
possible to the place of production. But
allow me to submit a true comparison be
tween tho two ports, assuming that the
Ice King loaded wheat, and taking her as
an example,
Suppose, then, she had loaded wheat at
Astoria, the cost of "taking tho wheat to
the ship' would bo approximately, say,
1700 tons, at 1 25 ."$2125 00
Insurance, jj per cent 1-J4 50
Total $2209 50
Now suppose she had come to Portland,
the expense of "bringing the ship to the
wheat'' would be, say:
Towage up and down 100 00
Pilotage up and down 115 00
Lighterage, 450 tons at $1 25 562 50
Balance against Astoria and in fa
vor of Portland 1192 00
Total 2209 50
In other words, a saving to the farmer
of about 2J-4 cents per bushel, which on
the total shipments of a good crop year
of 0,000,000 bushels would amount to
15,000 which the prodncer would lose
by taking The AsToi:t.vrs advice load
ing ships at Astoria and ignoring the
axiom wilh which I commence this letter.
From the attention now being given to
river improvement, it is certain that
when the time is ripe j he easily removed
obstacles between this city and Astoria
will be removed, so that vessels of the Ice
King clas3 can load here entirely at all
times; and this will increase the saving to
the ships by nearly tho amount allowed
for lighterage in the above statement,
thus showing on such a ship a balance
against Astoria, in favor of Portland and
the farmer, of about 3:1759.
That salmon should bo shipped from
Astoria no one will question: but when
The Astobiax talks of loading wheat, the
staple 01 tins country, at 11s wnarves,
it manifestly ignores the rules of nature,
commerce and common sense, in order to
boom the healthful little town by the sea.
Respectfully,
EXTOBTKU,
The Astoman makes no statements
that are not susceptible of direct proof.
The charterer of the lee King, and the
master of that vessol arc both hero, and
to them wo arc willing to refer the mat
ter. It is a well known fact that a ves
sol can come to Astoria, load and depart,
it far less expense and proportional
profit to her owners than by going to
Portland. To deny this argues ignor
ance on the part of "Exporter."
1'ollowing is the item to which "Ex
porter'" refers:
Tho Ice Kinn cleared from this port
yesterday with a valuable cargo for Lon
don, hue was chartered uy a. w. ixrry,
of this place. Her disbursements proper
do not aggregate above $2,000. Had she
gone to Portland the probability isarqa-
xiuiii rank uak:iji;iiu; kuu n uiir
bursements would have been at least
0.000. This illustrates the superioritv
of Astoria over interior points as a
port for ships to load and sail from, as
in the case of the Wallacctown and other
vessels that have loaded here, the great
difference m favor of Abtona.
In that wo underestimated rath
er than exaggerated the lacts, know
ing that those statements aro peculiarly
unpalatable to our friends in the interior,
and that if it wore possible to contro
vert them some clever Portland reader of
The Astoeiak would do so.
The party signing himself "Exporter"
is either an exporter or he is not. If ho
is, he knows thit his suppositional fig
ures are false, if he is not, he seeks to
create a false impression by Ins signa
ture. He raises the question himself
about loading whept at Astoria, and
having done so proceeds to charge The
Astobiax with ignoring tho rules of "nat
ure, commerce and common sense.' Let
us examine "Exporters' figures:
In the first place the Ice King, as she
lies here ready for sea, draws 21 feet 8
inches. To mention such draught as that
in connection with Portland provokes a
smile, but this is "Exporter's" own illus
tration. He figures 1,703 tons lighterage
at 1.25. "Exporter" must bo a recent
importation or ho would know that the
Astoria Transportation company offers
to transport 10,000 tons of wheat from
Portland to Astoria for C2K cents per
ton. It would have token 1,003 tons at
that figure when it owned barge No. 1,
but "Exporter and his confreres didn't
want to see that enterprise succeed, and
withheld their trade, all in the interest
of tho producer, "thus affording a saving
to the farmer," about whose welfare "Ex
porter" is so solicitous. Ho knows that
wheat can be brought from Portland here
at a profit for fifty cents a ton, and that
the fact that the O. R. &N. Co. charges
1.25 a ton is no criterion in making
statements to stand tho test of invest iga
tion. Tho next item is a palpable error.
H "Exporter' knows anything, ho is
aware that that 144.50 has no business
there: that it is a creation of his fancy.
He must know that tho rate of insurance
is governed by the class-rating of tho
vessel.
'Now, suppose," he goes blunderingly
, "that she had oome to Portland."
Now we have estimates in place of exag
geratcd statements. The tonnage and
pilotage items are so little out of the way
that it is not necessary to notice them
But "Lighterage, 450 tons at 1.25." The
Imperial is a vessel of the same build
and tonnage. Tho captain of that vessel
stated to us that his bills for lighterage
were over 1,000. Th& captain is gone to
sea, but the bills in the O. R. fc N. Co.'
office will prove the assertion. Now, an
clogy suggests that if the Imperial paid
over 1,000 for lighterage, a vessel, of the
same build and tonnage would pay the
same.
So that all through "Exporters" article
we find deliberate misstatements, exhib
iting eith er falsehood or ignorance. The
only part of it thnt savors of knowledge
of tho subject is where he concedes that
the Ice King saved money by loading at
Astoria, which is a good deal for him
He caps the mendacity by calling his far
rago of aD3ardity, ."a trne comparison
between the two ports."
It is hardly worth waileor The Abto-
HXiTX to train p its heavy artillery to de
molish "Exporter;'" wo rarely notice
these fellows, but occasionally it is well
to show such as he'that it is one thing to
talk in a newspaper and another thing to
prove. So we have taken tho trouble to
collate the following, which we trust will
prove interesting and instructive to "Ex
porter.' According to his figures he is of opin
ion that it would cost 259J0 to get
,700 tons of wheat from Portland to As
toria.
Referring to the books of the Astoria
Transportation Company, wc will - take
the -first page, being a record of the first
trip. Everyone known that tho first start
of any new enterprise shows proportion
ately poorer returns than after it gets go
ing, but, nevertheless, the first shall be
taken:
EECEIPTS.

Lo'd'gwh't. 90 93
Dis'chg do . 70 14
Towage 150 CO

Profit 209 81
It will be noticed that but 81G tons
were carried, though the bargo's capacity
was 1,103: that those 815 tons cost more
in proportion psr ton than 1,100 would;
that 150 was paid for towing with fair
profit to the towers, and that 81G tons
carriage from Portland to Astoria cost
$313.91, or lesi than cents per Ion.
There is no supposition or hearsay about
this. It is an indisputable fact.
Now we hope that ''Exporter" will con
cede to others the consistencv he claims
for himself, and suffer us to do a little
figuring. Taking a leaf from his book,
and "supposing that she had come to
Portland," we find that to load 1,700 tons
would have cost the Ice King:
Towage up and down .403
fnotaco un and down itf
Lighterage (as per Imjerial) 1000

But had she loaded at Astoria with
wheat (as she has with salmon) her ex
penses would be
Lighterage, 1700 tons 33 cents 64G
Balance against Portland and in
favor of Astoria bOU
lr5L5
In other words a saving to the farmer
of about 1J cents per bushel, which on
tho total shipments of a good crop year
of 6,000,003 bushels would amount to
75,000 which the producer would make
by taking Tnn Astohian's advice load
ing ships at Astoria, and ignoring the
specious arguments of "Exporter.'
As to tho remainder of "Exporter's"
letter, it need but be said that when "tho
timo is ripe," he and others will learn by
tho inexorable, logic of eventa that grain
will be loaded for foreign shipment at a
seaport and not on an inland rivor. Till
then "Exporter" would do well to study
his subject before he presumes to com
ment upon The Astoeian's statements.
It mav save him from farther mistake?.
