DEAR SIR:.As our steamers are going
up very light now, we are in need Of freight
for ballast, and on that account will agree
to take your corn from the R. r, station at
Santa Anna to San Francisco, via our
steamers from wilmington, every five
days, for S2.75 per 1000 pounds.
This rate is until further notice. Will
thank you to let me know when you made
your last shipment for this season.
Very truly,
ID. MCCLELLAN, Agent.
Due notice will be given through
the papers here Of the commence
ment and close Of the shipping sea-
son, 80 that our farmers need not
take the trouble nor the expense
of notifying the Steamship Com
pany Of that fact. In the next
place the farmers are not SO poor a.
to expect or ask any shipping COM
pany to ship their ballast Stree
Of charge, az they would virtually
do In case they accepted the above
offer, for the charges of the railroad
from here to Wilmington alone is
$2.75 per ton. Again, the farmers
here have . steamer for which they
furnish freight for balastl at fair
living figures. II any time,
however, there should be more
ballast than the farmers steamer
can carry they would not object to
-furn;shing the Steamship Com
pany with some "ballast"
Of which they seem to
stand SO much in need. We be-
lieve that business men should be
patronized so long as they conduct
their affairs ON business principles
and when they fail to do that they
should be held up to the public in
their true light. If the steamer
Newport were to stop running i'm
mediately "fuIther notice. from
the 8. 8. Co. would be given forth
with. The object Of this imm ense-
ly magnanimous offer of the
Steamship Company is to crush
the Newport. If that should be |
accomplished all magnanimity
you'd cease and the farmers would
seempslled to submit to the ex-
brilliant rates charged before the |
Iewport was put on the line.-l
