STEAMSHIP FREIGHT.-As most Of
our readers are aware, the City of Pan
anna has hitherto taken no freight from
Sound ports for san Francisco, reserv-
ing her capacity for | 900 tons Of Ma
naimo coal for the use Of the China
ships iii that line. Consequently the
Dakota has been obliged to carry all
the produce offered at Sound ports.
The fact that the big steamship Coasti-
tuition, capable of carrying 5000 tons,
should be allowed to leave here short
of freight while there are twice that
many tons Of oats and potatoes await
ing shipment. seems like injustice to
the company. But we can show that
the fault lies in the office at San Fra a.
cisco and not here. The Panama was
withdrawn from this route on the 18th
and sailed for the city of her name OH
the 18th, the same day the Dakota left
here. Had Agent Tibbals been prompt
ly notified that the Constitution was
to be sent up in her place, he could
have obtained 500 tons of oats and
barley from LaConner alone, to say
nothing of what would have been sent
from the Stillsguamish and Skagit.
Add to these the water pipe from Tum-
water. the hops from Tacoma. salmon
from Muckilteo snd the WILDLY Island
produce, usually put aboard at Port
Townsend, aud the big ship could have
had at least thousand tons Of freight.
Again. We say. the San Francisco office
has Itself to thank for the empty con-
dltion of the Constitutions hold. She
might have had thousand tons, but
it is doubtful if she gets more than three
