The Reveille's criticism of the
Oregon Railway and Navigation
ComPany's charges for small pack
ages, is just one, the price charg'
ed by that Company being so cents
for packages, DO matter how small,
Nor how short the distance. This
is q practical prohibition of all
trade In packages SO far as the
steamers Of that line are concerned.
The Evangel makes the same
charges tor similar service. The
writer recently had a package
weighing less than 100 pounds from
Portland, brought by the latter
steamer, with $3.50 charges on 1t for
transportation, from that city to
Anacortos. The effect of such
charges simply transfers trade from
Portland to San Francisco, from
which latter place two packages,
precisely similar to the one sent
from Portland, and weighing just
double, were brought the present
week for s1.75 for the two packages
Merchants doing business IN the
cities must insist on reasonable
frcights on their goods if they ex.
pect to keep up trade with the OUT
lying communities. The fact that
the Washington and Monroe
charge only Twonty-fvs osnts for
small packages to all points on
their routes, which is reasonable
and sufficient charge, will transfer
all that trade to these boats as soon
as it becomes known; and the in
habitants of the San Juan Islands
must get the Lottie, or some other
boat to carry their freight if the
Evangel will not reduce her charg-
60 to the reasonable standard
which prevsils all over the coun>
try for similar service. Puget
Sound has the cheapest natural
highways of commerce, in her nag
nifcent waterways, to be fonnd in
the world, and there Is no reason
why people should pay double the
price charged on the railroads, for
the performance of this important
service.
