THE PILOTAGE QUESTION.
Bringing Wheat to Tide Water at Astoria.

February 9th, 1889.
EDITOR AsToRIAN:
The hue and cry raised against the
pilots of the bar and river, looks as
if it might be the old cry of "stop
thief" raised by the railroads, COM
mission merchants of Portland and
their subsidized sheets, to attract at
tention from the exorbitant charges
of the said railroads and commission
merchants. We have long heard it
asserted by the railroads and the peo-
pie and journals of Portland that
wheat could be hauled down along
the valley of the Columbia much
cheaper than across the Cascade
mountains to the Sound. Now if
that is true, and it has never been
successfully contradicted, the legisla-
ture ought to compel the railroads to
haul wheat at such rates as will per-
NIT it to be landed at tide water at
Astoria as cheap as at tide water on
Puget sound. If this is done it will
do away with the necessity OF Grip
pling so important branch of the
public service as the pilot service;
and to that end would suggest that
our chamber of commerce take action
in that direction and request the leg
islature to take such steps; otherwise
members who are unfamiliar with the
subjectwill imagine that the evil lies
wholly in the pilot charges. i is to
the interest of the o. r. & \. CO. to
make them think so. and i. is making
a desperate effort to do so.
Formerly the OreqORiQR, the mer-
chants and the shippers Of Portland,
and many others, believed that the
pilotage and towage systems should
be carried on separately on the bar
1t was tried and has proved a success.
Formerly, however, the tugs were
controlled at Astoria, but now at
Portland. 1t looks as if whatever
was to the interest of a Portlander
is all right, no matter how much the
people in other portions are wronged,
nor how much :the public service is
crippled.
When Mr.. Holcomb proposed to
the pilots that If they would give the
tugs forty per cent. of their gross
earnings he would see that the legis-
lature did not interfere with the pres
ent law, it was evident he did not
consider the pilotage exorbitant; the
pilots refused to accept his PROPOSE
tion, and therefore the o. R. & n. Co.
and the Orego71iGn are trying to
make the legislature see a great
wrong in the present pilotage system.
Possibly Mr.. Holcomb owns the Ore
gon Legislature, but 1 don't believe
he does.
When Mr.. Cookingham, speaking
for the o. R. & N. Co., said that un-
less these charges were reduced the
company would have to build to the
Sound, he admitted that the company
could haul down the Columbia and
across to the Sound and compete
with the Northern Pacific railroad.
Now, if that is true, it is also true
that they can afford TO haul or ship
to Astoria for much less, sfor the rea-
son that it is one hundred miles near
er. Then towage and pilotage from
Astoria to Portland and back could
be saved. True, Portland would not
be the seaport of Oregon, but that's
not important to the state.

A NEYsPAPER's REPonr.

CHICAGO, Feb. 6.--The Tribune re-
Gently sent a reporter to Victoria, 3.
c., and this morning it devotes an
entire page to his report OF the con-
dition of affairs there. The report
deals at length with smuggling oper-
ations across the border, and declares
that the United States is cheated ont
OF millions of dollars revenue every
year, by organized bands of opium
smugglers; also that many federal
customs officials on the border are
corrupted by them, while others are
so stupid as to be useless.
The correspondent further de-
clares the laws against Chinese
immigration to be hagrantly violated
under the very noses Of federal Off
cials. Chinese women in herds are
smuggled across the border and sold
into slavery in the United States.
In general it is asserted that the peo-
pie of the United States have not the
slightest conception OF the brazen
lawlessness that exists on the north
ern frontier.

IT is a curious thought, says The
Forum for January, that all the huge
value of traffic, production, distr1bu-
ton, and conversation, has for its end
and objective point the supply of
each inhabitant with a few feet of
boards over his head, sustained by
bricks or timber; about ten pounds
Of wool, sixteen pounds of cotton con-
verted into clothing, barrel Of flour,
and 200 or 300 pounds of meat each
year; and a little sugar, a glass of
beer, about five pounds Of solid or
liquid food per day; these consti-
tuting the necessaries Of life. Some
one has said that life would not be
worth living except for its luxuries,
and that time would not be worth
having except for the hours that could
be saved for leisure. How much of
luxury and how much of leisure can
the average man get out of what 80 to
50 cents day will buy for his shelter,
food and clothing?

II the Republican nomination for Governor
in New-Jersey is a barren honor, as some DEM
oclats profess to believe what was the mean
ing of the enthusiasm and earnestness that
were the dominant notes of the convention AT
Trenton yesterday? And why was there such
an interesting and animated contest for the
poor place of party leader? The New-Jersey
Republicans have entered on the campaign with
a determination to win and with well ground
ed belief that they can win. General Grub
is an able and popular man, with fine war
record. and with a rare combination of quail
tiles that tell powerfully in candidates favor
lie will make an earnest canvass bringing out
every Republican vote and winning not few
from the Democracy. The platform gives I'M
qualified approval to Republican principles ana
the Republican Administration. 1t makes a
scathing arraignment of Democratic incom-
potency and jobbery in the Legislature. 1t in
dorses ballot reform and compulsory education.
and pledges the party to rational legislation
