ASTORIA. OREGON:
TUESDAY
.AUGUST SO. 1887
CAUGHT AGAIN.
In an effort to get out of the false
hood it tried to palm off as truth the
Portland Journal of Commerce of
the 27th wriggles and twists through
a column and a quarter of editorial
space and tries to claw off in an effort
to be funny.
It won't do. Every one on the
river knows you put your foot in it
and the fact is too patent It is some
times said that "a lie well stuck to is
as good as the truth." Not in this
case. Had you owned up when
caught at it you would deserve Borne
meroy from the great court of final
appeal public opinion. As it is you
deserve further crucifixion.
In the column and a quarter of at
tempted answer to The Astokian
thoreis just one definite statement
By a curious coincidence this one
definite statement in a sea of slush is
a,liejust, as plain, gross and palpable
as the preceding one in the issue of
the 20th. Here is the morsel Talk-1
ing of the Merom, our mendacious
contemporary says:
The sum of $750 ia the advertised
charge for bar towage upon a vessel of
her size.
The facts are in direct opposition to
the statement Probably so much
the worse for the facts in the estima
tion of the Journal of Commerce.
Following is an exact transcript of
the last towage schedule issued:
To Ship Owners, Captains and (hose in
terested in the Commerce of the Colum
bia River:
We hereby give notice that the -schedule
of towage charges in and out over
the Columbia river bar, under agreement
between the owners of the tug boats
Pioneer, Astoria and Columbia, has been
extended to cover vessels of a larger reg
ister than heretofore; and that from and
after this date towage will be charged by
the above-named boats in acoordanoe
with the following
SCHEDULE:
For vessels of the inward
undermentioned outw'bd.
register tonnage. Load'd Bal'st.
Not exceeding 800 9150 $150 $150
800 to 1000 200 175 175
1000 to 1200 225 200 200
1200 to 1400 .275 225 250
1400 to 1CO0 300 250 300
1C00 to 1800 375 321 350
1800 to 3000 425 375 400
Pilotage, when performed by the pilots
from the tug boats above named, will be
charged until further notioe at the rate
of 45 per foot each way, in and out.
Vessels coming into the river seeking,
and leaving without finding business,
will be charged pilotage as above, and
only one rate of towage for service both
ways.
For giving orders to Tessels off the
bar, the charge will be $100.

Geo. Fulyel,
For Owners Astoria and Columbia.
Pobtxand, Oregon, June 22, 188G.
The tonnage of the Merom is 1,153
tons. A glance at the above will
show that she comes under the class
from 1,000 to 1,200. She was leaded:
hence the charge was $225 inward
and $200 outward, or $125; the item
for towage in and out over the bar,
in the bill which the master of the
Merom signed, was for $425.
Thus we nail lie No. 2. If there
was anything else in the Journal of
Commerce's article of the 27th to
answer, it would be answered here
and now. But there isn't
The Journal of Commerce will
please note that we don't maunder
through column after column of
space. A direct statement is made;
then comes the proof as a clincher.
In the above The Astobian quotes
the exact words of the Journal of
Commerce. Then it says the state
ment is a lie. Then it proves it.
And then it quits, and turns its atten
tion to worthier subjects.
Those who have wandered among
the Booties, and gazed upon the
summits of the great snowy range be
fore the sunhad climbed high enough
to turn the crystal rivers into silver
and light up the plains with glory,
have seen in the dim light of the
dawning day the white peaks sudden
ly gleaming as though the gates of
the other world had opened and a
flood of the radiance from within had
been permitted to fall on the snow;
so high up that the footseps of man
and the dust of the world have
never been able to contaminate
it This glittering appearance is
called by the Indians "Idaho," and
the nearest the English language can
express it is "the gem of the moun
tains," with which name the territory
seems to have been justly endowed.
If Capt. Beecher, of Port Town
send, is innocent of the charges made
and pressed against him by the San
Francisco Chronicle (and he is en
titled to the benefit of the doubt), he
ought to be able to recover about
$40,000 in a libel suit against that in
fluential journal He cannot afford to
ignore them. There is too much pre
cision and alleged detail about the
charges to admit of silence.
The Boom Strnck the Town.
Says the Pigweed Banner: "The
fore end of a mighty big real estate
boom seems to have struok this town.
Old man Daggett sold a corner lot
yesterday for forty-two dollars, five
of it cash down. Dud Dillon is put
ting up a new henhouse and a new
back gate. Sam Shockley has traded
his place on the avenue for Zach
Hill's team of black mules. Zed
Greenough is painting his fence, and
the widow Peevy is putting fly
screens all over her. house. Cap.
Taylor sold a lot on B street yester
day for a hundred dollars to a com
pany going into the chicken indus
try, iieepthe ball a-rolnng.
