C7 he gaitjf Jftetorian. ASTORIA. OREGON: THCnSDAY. ..DECrMnER 18 1RS4 NO MORE SPECIAL COXTIiACTS. C. M. Wickeb, Commissioner of the Chicago Freight Bureau, has is sued the following impoilsnt circu lar to merchants and shippers: The following is particularly im portant to such members of this association as are already doing husiness "with or desire to reach the Pacific coast, but have been prevent ed from doing so by the discrimina tion against this point and in favor of the Atlantic seaboard points. As yet the details are not complete, and we are only able to advise you that the Pacific roads and their eastern connections have acceded to onr re quest, and will, on and after Jcnnary 1, make the rates from Chicago about 13 per cent less than any public or private rates it may be found expedi ent to make from Atlantic seaboard points. Full particulars as to the rates from this point will be given as soon as it is definitely known tvbnl rates the railroad lines may find nec essary to make from New York as against steamships, clipper ships and other competition at that point. The following rates have been pro posed and in all probability will be adopted as the rates from New York to Pacific coast peints: Firfet, $3: second, Si; third. S3; fourth, $2.7c; fifth, S2.D1; sixth. $2.23; seventh, $2: eighth, SL73; ninth, $1.59; tenth, $1.25. If these rates are adopted, the agreement provides that the rates from Chicago shall ba about 13 per cant, less, the saras percentage to apply on any tariff of special, indi vidual, or commodity rates that ma be made at variance from tho above. The traflio covered by this arrange ment includes all shipments of what soever nature from Chicago to San Francisco, Sacramento, Maiysville. Stockton, San Jose, Oakland and Los Angeles, Cal., Portland and Astoria, Or., Tacoma and Seattle, W. T., and all points taking these rates. Ship ments from the above-named Pacific coast points to Chicago will ba made on tho basis of about 85 per cent, of any tariff of special, individual, or commodity rates that may be made from those points to New York. This arrangement, eminently jnst and fair, has been acceded to only after many months of patient waiting and pro testing against the present injustice, and only upon the representation on our part that with this basis estab lished we could largely increase oui shipments to and from California. Western Oregon and Washington territory. That those ho have not been di rectly interested in this tariff and those who we hop3 will now avail themselves of these favorable rales as compared with New York and other seaboard mannf cturiug and distrib uting points, may be advised, allow us to say that although our printed tariff has be en less than that from New York, there has existed and still exists a most complete and elaborate private or individual rate, much low er than the public tariff, the provis ions of which compel us to pay full New York rat33 on 233 oat of 333 ar ticles 8hp?3l from the east to the Pacific coast. Tais uujusi tariff will be abrog ifc3l on Dioembar 3Ut. We trust our msrc'aaats and espec ially our manufacturers will not fail in tho futura any more than thev have in the pigt, to make good their reputation for pushing their wares- and products to the territory indicat ed, as we aie no longer handicapped by rates and contracts made for the purpose of compelling tho Pacific coast consignees to purchase in the East to the detriment-of this market. We shall be no longer hampered by special contracts from eastern cities that do not apply from this point and we earnestly hope our members and other Chicago houses will avail them selves of this arrangement and secure a good and valuable portion of the Pacific coast trade. Okic?. five of tho thirty-eight states report no votes for the St. John tick et. Its aggregate vote in the coun try was 148,277. The apparent vote for the Butler ticket was 12S,518, but owing to the fusions in seven states, it is impossible to ascertain the real strength of the "People's party." In Michigan the Butler elector who ran separately received 41,390 votes. The total Bepublican vote in the country at large this year is 4,795,272; in 1830, 4,449,053; increase, 316,219. The to tal Democratic .vote this year is 4,811,221; in 1830, 4,4-12,035; in crease, 369,189. The net Dem ocratic gain is 23,301. The pop ular vote as will be observed, is al , most as evenly divided as it was in 1880. The largest Democratic major ity is that of Texas, 93,333; the largest JBepublioan majority is that of Penn "sjlTMue, 81,019. The annual report on tho life sav ing service shows that the disasters to vessels within the field of station operations for the last year have amounted to 327. On these vessels were 4,253 persons, of whom 4,237 were saved, and only 1G lost. The number of shipwrecked persons suc cored was 532, to whom 1,319 days' re lief were afforded. The estimated value of the vessels involved in these disasters was S7,075,975, and that of their cargoes $5,451,050, maki ig the total valus of the property imperiled $10,530,023; of this amount $9,090,134 was saved, and $1,439,891 lost The number of vessels totally lost was 64. There were 102 casualties to smaller crafts, such as sailboats, row-boats, etc, on which were 179 persons, 175 of whom were saved and 4 lost. Recently two young men of Youngstown. Ohio, wi:h $2,000, went to New Orleans, their intention being to purchase the exclusive beer privi lege on the Exposition grounds. Ihey called on the manager, stated th ir business, and asked what the privilege was worth. "Well," re sponded the manager, "I have just refused $65,000 for it from one party because I thought it was too low. If you have S100.000 to invest you can secure the privilege of selling beer to the thirsty thousands who will attend the exposition, otherwise yon can take a walk." They walked out and took a drink. A London bank has recently at tracted SDine altoution by its practic al encouragement of the Malthusian doctrine. Having decided that it was inexpedient for clerks employed in the bank to marry on insufficient means, the board resolved, "As a general rule, but subject to any ex ceptional circumstances which may induce the board to dispense with such rule, that in future, if any mem ber of the staff, whose income is less than 150 a year, shall marry, he shall be disqualified from continuing in the bank's services, and will ac cordingly be required to retire from it" C. P. Huntington is the only rail way manager in the world who con trols a railway reaching across a con tinent. His road extends from Hanir ton Eoads to Memphis, and from New Orleans to San Francisco, making practically a complete transconti nental line. He also owns a steam ship line from New York to Norfolk and Now Orleans. No profit, says the Los Angeles, Cal. Express, can result from pre dicting hard times and business pros tration. The belter way is for every man to do what he can to put life ind energy into business. If all will do this there will be no depression that will injure anybody. It is estimated that 100,000,000 salmon eggs will be placed in the rivers of Maino for hatching this season. The capital invested in national banks was increased abont 815,000,000 dnring the year ended September 30, 18S4. Out of Italy's 29,000,000 inhabit ants, only 1,000,000 subscribe to newspapers. Kentucey has more navigable river front than any other state in the Union. Tite railway mail service costs the government nearly $19,000,000 a year Maud S. weighs 915 pounds, and goes barefoot all winter. Cubistmas and New Year fall on Thursday this time.
