ASTORIA. OEEGON:
TUESDAY.
..MAY 21. 1889.
A TRUE NOBLEMAN.
O-s- Christmas, 1888, George "W.
Childs, of tho Philadelphia Ledger,
crowned his maDy acts of generosity
by distributingJithe princely snm of
40,000 among the various employes
of his establishment.
One of these employees, an assist
ant editor, found in his pay envelope,
besides his usual salary, a crisp, new
S300 note. This man was amazed. It
was a great temptation to put that
S390 in his pocket, for he was a poor
man with a large family on his hand3.
But he thought the cashier had made
a mistake, and with a face pale and
resolute he fought off tho tempter and
presented himself "at the cashiers
window, the pretty new bill in his
hand.
"A mistake has been made; this bill
does not belong to me," he said.
"You had better go see Mr. Childs,"
responded the cashier.
So into the private office of Mr.
Childs walked the assistant editor.
"This is all right," said Mr Childs,
merely a little Christmas gift, you
know. After you have been here you
will understand it better." .
But Mr. Childs," gasped tho editor,
"I've worked for you only six weeks,
and this is a greater sum of money
than I ever owned at one time in my
life. I can't take it. My short ser
vice is not sufficient to .make it right
that I should take it."
'"You are a member of our family,"
said Mr. Childs, and the timo you
have been here does not make any
difference. Just you take that bill
and get out on Chestnut street and
buy some Christmas, presents with it
as quick as you know how."
Wealth in tho hands of such a man
is truly a blessing, and certainly no
one but a misanthrope can grudge him
its enjoyment His name will be
honored by future generations, and his
life pointed to as an example worthy
of emulation, while tho "marble shafts"
to the memories of those who amassed
fortunes only for selfish aims will serve
as reminders that they cover the re
mains of men as bloodless as the mon
uments which bear their names.

This remedv is becemim: so wel
known and so nopular as to need no
special mention. All who have used

praise. A purer medicine does not ex-

At a meeting of the chamber of
commerce yesterday evening the iu
formation was learned that the sen
atorial committee would bo down here

returning would meet the citizens, and
would subsequently go to Kalama.
and take the tram there for Tacoma.
A large map of the United States
was presented by E. A. Noyes
This map is made by the
Union Pacific I?ailroad Co., and
shows their lines, and the map has
Astoria on it in big black letters very
plain to see.
The report of the committee ap
pointed to prepare an advertisement
of the city for tho lorllicomiiij; O. It.
& N. edition, was received, and on mo
tion accepted, nnd tho secretary in
fracted to send the same to Portland
for publication in the aforesaid pam
phlet.
Then the chamber -adjourned to

PILOTAGE AND TOWAGE.
Tha Hew LawEegarding These Matters.
Which is Supposed to Take Effect To-Day.
The O. E. & N. Co. has issne1 lin
following circular:
The O. E. & N. Co. hereby announ
ces the following rates for towage and
pilotage of vessels from tho spa to
Portland and return, and guarantees
that same shall not be increased for a
period of two years from May 21, 1889,
the date upon which the law becomes
effective:
Total charges for pilotage and tow
age from the sea, or from Astoria to
Portland and return, taking effect May
21,1889. Vessels not exceeding 800
tons register, $450; over 800 tons to
1,200 tons, 500; over 1,200 tons to 1,600
tons,S550; over 1,600 tons to 2,100
tons, SG00; over 2,100 tons, special;
use of tug's hawsers, 20 each way;
lighterage upon grain and its products
from Portland to Astoria. 50c Der ton
of 2000 lbs.; lighterage upon other
rreignt, fci per ton, weight or measure
ment company's option; moving a
vessel in port, S10.
The above rates are obtainable onlv
upon the express condition that ves
sels are towed by tug and tow boats
owned bythis company and piloted
by pilots in its employ.
.The existing pilotage laws of "Wash
ington territory authorize the follow
ing compensation for piloting vessels
between tho sea and Asteria:
Eight dollars per foot for the first
twelve feet draught, and S10 per foot
for each additional foot or fraction
thereof; and for piloting a vessel on
the Columbia river between Astoria
and Portland, SI per foot draught
The "Washington territory law fur
ther provides for half compulsory
pilotage. A pilot holding a branch
from the "Washington territory pilot
commissioners, upon speaking a vessel
can demand half pilotage, as per above
rates, whether his services be accepted
or not. Attention is also directed to
section 7 of the Oregon law herein in-
c jrporated, which fully sets forth the
compensation authorized by this state
for the pilotage of vessels between the
sea and Astoria.
It will be observed that section 9 of
the law referred to provides that half
pilotage only will be compulsory in
tho case of bar pilotage when the
services of Oregon pilots are rejected
after having spoken a vessel. Ship
masters may reject the services of riv
er pilots without incurring compul
sory pilotage.
Masters of vessels accepting the
services of pilots holding a branch
from the state of Uregon or Washing
ton territory will be compelled to pay
such pilots their regular fee, as pre
scribed by law, in addition to the rates
of this company.
it will be seen, therefore, that m ac
cepting service of this company, the
following reductions will be made
from the charges now in effect: Ves
sels not exceeding 1,000 tons register,
$100; vessels not exceeding 1,200 tons
register, 150; vessels not exceeding
1,800 tons register, S500; vessels not
exceeding 2,000 tons register, 8550;
vessels not exceeding 2,100 tons regis
ter, $600. No charge will be made for
off-shore towage or demurrage when
this company's tugs and pilots are em
ployed. "When other than O. E. & N. com
pany pilots are employed ships will be
subject to a charge of 10 per mile
for distances more than ten miles off
shore, and S3 Tier hour demurrage
when this company's boats are delayed
through fault of such pilot, and double
lighterage rates will be charged by
this company to ships not towed by
its tugs or towboats.
In order to avoid any complications
and excessive charges, masters should
be plainly instructed to avoid as far
as practicable being spoken by pilots
not on board or connected with the
tugs or towboats of the Oregon Bail-
way & Navigation company, and
when spoken by pilots not in this
company s employ, their services can
be rejected and the vessel be com
pelled to pay one-half pilotage only.
Pilots in this company's employ will
bear a letter of identity of the follow
ing form;
Omr.ot Railway &. Navigation Coxmziy,')
On ice op Port Captaix, v
POETLASD, OB. 18S9. J
To Whom It Hay Cencern: Tho
bearer, Mr. ,is a duly licensed pi
lot under the laws of the state of
Oregon, and holds a proper branch
from the pilot commissioners of said
state, and is employed by and working
under the instructions of this com
pany. , Port Captain
For the purpose of identification,
tho tucs of this company will fly the
O. B. & N. Co.'s flag (a cut of which is
given in tho circular,) and will be
found cruisinc off shore dnrinc the
hours of daylight, each provided with
a competent pilot employed by the
conpany. such pilot will board all
vessels spoken, take charge, and re
main with the same until anchored at
Astoria.
The above is supposed to co into
effect to-day; the question now comes
up as to its constitutionality, and
what will bo tho existing stato of
affairs until tho board of pilot com
missioners again meet on the 10th of
next month, and what they will do
when they do meet
The Astobian is authentically in
formed that the O. E. & N. company
has now under consideration tho mat
ter of employing the Oregon state
pilots on the schooner Oov. Moody, to
cruise outside the bar, the pilots to be
paid a stated salary.
Tho question of maintenance of the
schooner is between the U. JK. ic JS.
Co., and the board of trade of Port
land. It is considered a matter of
probability that either will undertake
and assure her maintenance prob
ably the latter organization.
