ASTORIA. OREGON:
THUKSDAY NOVEMBER 21. 1889.
A FLOURING MILL.
Go down to "Wilson & Fisher's, or
Thompson & Boss's, or the O. R. & N.
dock, to-day, or any other day, and
you will see large lots of flour arriving
from the interior; hundreds of barrels,
to feed the fifteen thousand people
whose market of supplies is Astoria.
You will see during the day a dozen
little boats loading with chopped or
ground feed for the various logging,
lumber and other outlying camps.
All the money paid to the interior
manufacturers for thi3 most necessary
article could, under a better economic
system, be kept in Astoria. It is for
Astoriaus to say whether it shall or
not. '
Several years ago in one of our
commercial discussions with the Ore
gonian, we proved that, irrespective
of other tolls, wheat could be brought
from Portland to this city, for 33
(thirty-eight) cents a ton. It was
proved by a sworn affidavit from the
secretary of the Astoria Transporta
tion company, that it had been done
and by accompanying figures, show
ing all the details, and that no loss
had been incurred in so carrying it,
allowing for and including every pos
sible item of expense.
The Astohiax argued from this un
disputed fact that a flouring mill
would pay. Irrespective of any rail
road, a flour mill, rightly run, would.
pay tneu, and would pay now. And
when the advent of the railroad is
taken into consideration, the profit
able nature of such an enterprise sug
gests itself still more strongly.
"We are now assured of speedy rail-
jroad connection with the "West Side.
Chose who have given this matter any
itteution cannot have failed to note
two important aud favorable facts:
the best wheat comes from the West
pide,aud there is no mill of any consid
erable dimensions on the "West Side.
?rom the We3t Side will naturally
tame the chief supply of wheat for the
Lstoria flour mill.
Tiie Astorian is of the opinion that
Ike plant suggested 125 bbls. a dav
-is too insignificant to deserve seri-
us discussion. A mill should be
uilt; it would be a profitable enter
rise; that is, we believe, agreed on all
ides; but, in our opinion, nothing less
mu a 5UU barrel a day mill should
e thought of; and a thousand barrels
day wonld be none too much.
If a man is going to pack salmon,
saw lumber, or print newspapers,
sell peanuts, it will cost him as
lucli to put in a big plant as a little
ie; probably a little more; but when
has liis plant in he can do some-
Ling with it
We doubt if a practical mill man
ould care to take hold of n flouring
till of so small a dailv canacitv as
25 barrels; while we are confident
lat a mill of a much larger capacity
rould pay a very good percentage on
ie amount invested. In this case,
ie costly experience of others would
found a profitable study, unless it
ere desired to learn the same facts
y personal exoenence instead of nor
mal observation.
Such a mill as we suggest wouldn't
st 125,000, nor half that amount;
could be built and eaniDned for
i0,000, at the outside, and would
ive or should have a daily capacity
! from 750 to 1,000 barrels.
To make the mill crreatlv nrof-
ple, it will not do to depend
lely on the local trade: flour must
exported, and in such quantities
it vessels may be chartered. To
jarter a vessel to advantage, the mill
st be the original chartering party,
id not be obliged to depend on the
mmodation afforded by an oppor-
lity to finish.
Che time is ripa aud opportunity
rorable, for the building of a flour-
mill in this city. We send thou-
Iids of dollars away, that under bet-
economic conditions could and
luld be kept here. Such a drain
Mtates against the healthy growth of
Y community and in this as in other
Itances the drain of monev awav
us is totally unnecessary.
?here need be no trouble about Be
ing a site; we have sites enough
mills and factories, and an eligible
ition for the Astoria flour mill can-
kbtless be secured.
UR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
ireat praise is due 6ur chamber
commerce for the manv imnrove-
its and matters of public import-
le that it has aided and accom-
Ihed. The list of achievements is a
and worthy one. The good re-
of its public labors are to be
on every hand. But it is with
ibers of commerce, and similar
ies, as it is with individuals; they
lot rest content with past achieve-
its, and point to laurels won, but
It continue and not grow weary in
doing. It iB for that commercial
to rise to the requirements of the
snt; and in this regard-it may be
that while oratory is a potent aid
ition, it is not all that is required.
: is essential to all undertakings,
and small, and a due amount of
requisite.
kere are, however, occasions when
ie to stop talking, and playing
:ers, and either take hold, or let
IxaEEssMAN Eeed's record on'the
I and harbor bill in the past con-
3, it is believed, -will defeat him
ke gpeakeofetp.
VERY HIGH TONED.
The Pacific coast chamber of com
merce organized in San Francisco,
last Tuesday. The San Francisco
chamber of commerce and delegation
has, however, seen fit to withdraw be
ing too high toned and exclusive to
Buffer contamination with ordinary
every-day people from other parts of
the coast.
These kid-glove gentry are very
near sighted, and need toning down.
Yesterday's San Francisco Ex
amine!' gives them a needed reproof;
it says:
"The Pacific coast chamber of com
merce is deliberating without the San
Francisco delegates, who have with
drawn in accordance with the instruc
tion of the local chambers.
We have never been able to
understand the reason for the
refusal of our merchants to co
operate with other mercantile bodies
of the coast, and Captain Merry's ex
planation leaves' us more in the dark
tljan ever. The San Francisco Cham
ber of commerce, in Captain Merry's
mind, seems to be a sort of mercantile
"400," and its chief end in life is to
keep itself fittingly exclusive. It
would rather not get congressional
action for the benefit of our steam
ship lines, our harbor and our de
fenses than to get them at the cost of
associating with people with whom
it could not consistently co-operate.
It dreads the San Franoisco bricklayer
more than a subsidized Canadian cor
poration. If that is the spirit of our
merchants, they may well claim to
be conservatives, but they have not
reached their ideal yet. The mummies
of Thebes are more conservative
still."
Meanwhile the coast conference goes
on while the home delegation sullenly
hold aloof.
Harmony in such matters is neces
sary, and the snobbish action of the
San Francisco chamber of commerce
is in every way to be regretted.
A man named Nicely is to be hanged
in Pennsylvania. Evidently that is
not the way he has behaved himself.
TirE Brazilians seem to have caught
the big pedro.
