CTjyy "" wg "T',F'Hrf,ir" CJ CBCS4& -S-iVJ-'5--1 $C SlH SMOOTH. ASTORIA. OREGON: TUESDAY AUGUST 23. 18S7 SPEAK FOR YOURSELF. Thoro is no uso blinkinj? the fact that even -with onr rivor at its host, Paget sound can and will offer superior in ducements to shipping. Portland Jour nal of Commerce Br what authority, pray, do you presume to speak? We emphatically protest against your assumption that because vessels decline to have the copper dragged off in an attempt to get to Portland, therefore, you have a Titrht in talk for the whole river. This is impertinence on your part "Even with our river at its best" Paget sound can't and won't "offer superior inducements to shipping." It can and will and doe3 offer superior in ducements to Portland, but it is just like your impudence to assume, ex cathedra, that Portland is the one only place. Of course it would be Portland's policy to have matters so arranged that no vessel could enter the Columbia that could not go to Portland, but Portland's policy in this regard is a perpetual quarrel with the Creator, with the usual result in strifes of that nature. Puget sound can offer no superior inducements to Astoria as a shipping point, and we beseech our Portland boomer of Tacoma in the Journal of Commerce office not to forget it In the meantime in your moans and re grets speak for yourself and don't at tempt to include Astoria in your dis mal complaint SHOULD BE ACCURATE. Now that the usual fall shipping begins, our Portland contemporaries will have the usual fall editorials. All Tiie Astorian asks is that you " tote fair Betsy." It is with regret that we notice in the Portland Journal of Commerce of the 20th inst, the fol lowing statement in a column edito rial regarding Portland's tribulatiens: $750 for towing a ship liko the Merom in and ont over the bar is much too high, considering the other charges and the low freight rates obtainable. Now, while this does not specifically say that the charge for towing the Merom was 750, yet any one reading the article would, obviously, have the idea that such a charge had been made. That is, unless he knew differ ently. As a matter of fact the charge for towage of the Heroin in and out over the bar was 3125. The attention of the Journal of Commerce is gently directed to the editorial necessity of accuracy in state ments or implications which it wishes to have believed. EASILY OBVIATED. The Portland Journal of Com merce of the 20th has an article on the difficulties besetting an attempt to make a seaport out of an inland city, and after making divers and sun dry complaints about existing geo graphical circumstances, for which the Almighty is alone responsible, it says: The river towage up and down on a ship like the Merom costs about $500. This itself is serious enough to awaken some modifying action justifie'd by the circumstances, but when to this is added n chargo of $800 for lighterage, the ship has an almost unbearable burden con fronting her in coming to our port. In addition to this, the bad state of the river now involves the use of more than one tow-boat, and there is only one good tow-boat working the river at the present time. It is indeed a grave matter, but 6no that can be happily and easily over come. All this terrible towage and lighterage, etc., can be obviated by loading and unloading vessels at As toria, the natural seaport of Oregon, and thus avoiding the tortuous shal lows between here and Portland, and the rocks and fogs of that terrible north coast In noticing common errors respect ing tho weather, Prof. Cleveland Abbe, the distinguished meteorolo gist, urges attention to these facts: That, while the moon might be ex pected to influence our weather, scien tific evidence shows that it does not; that there is no sound reason for be lieving that sun-spots have any appre ciable effect in producing storms or other local changes; that animal in stinct ranks greatly below human in telligence as a guide to future weather; that the indications fur nished by plants are due to the hydro scopic condition of the air, as are also other "signs," and are less delicate and trustworthy than the accurate in strumental tests of meteorologists; that electricity and ozone do not produce the effects often ascribed to them; that thunder storms do not cool the air, but the cool inrush results, like the storm, from the rise of hot air, at least in many cases; that it has not yet been proven that the removal of forests and the extension of railroads and telegraphs have influenced our climate; that the weather is materially the same as in old fashioned times, scientific records disproving the faulty recollections of the oldest inhabitant; and that severe storms are no more liable to occur at the date of the equinoxes or on cer tain days of the week or month than at other times. The lien law of this state provides, among other things, that any boat or vessel used in navigating the waters of the state shall be subject to a lieu for all debts due to persons by virtue of a contract with the owner or agent thereof "on account of labor done or materials furnished by mechanics, tradesmen or others, in the building, repairing, fitting and furnishing or equipping such boat or vessel, or on account of stores or supplies furnished for the use thereof." Judge Deady, of the United States circuit court for the district of Oregon, held in the re cent case of the city of Salem, that the phrase "or others" used in the act did not include a bank with which the owner of a steamboat kept an ac count, and which paid the checks of the latter drawn in favor of third per sons in payment of materials fur nished for the boat The phrase, the court said, was only applicable to other persons in the same category or calling as mechanics or tradesmen. Tiie Verdict Unanimous. W. D. Suit, Druggist Eippus I ml., testifies: "I can recommend Electric Bitters as the very best remedy. Every bottle sold has given relief in every case. One man took six bottles, and was cured of Rheumatism of 10 years' standing." Abraham Hare, drnggist, Bt'llville, Ohio, affirms: "The best selling medi cine I have ever handled in my J0 ypai.s' experience, is Electric Hitters." Thou sands of otliers have added their testi mony, so that the verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters do cure diseases of the Liver, Kidneys or Blood. Only a halfdollarabottleat W. E.
