NJ P. Stein, who has large grain warehouse
business at Stockton, arrived at the Baldwin
yesterday. He complains that the transporta-
ton companies carrying grain down to Port
Costa and San Francisco are discriminating
against Stockton. The Valley road, he says,
has recently published its freight tariff, show
ing that by an arrangement with the water
transportation company grain brought from,
points along the railroad may be carried on
to Port Costa or to San Francisco for an adj
ditional charge of so cents q ton. But the
same transportation company charges 60 cents
ton for grain shipped from Stockton to Port
Costa, though that port is nearer to Stockton
by forty miles than is San Francisco.
Commodore Howison, commander at Mare
Island Navy-yard, has been making the Occi-
dental his headquarters during the last few
days while he has been experimenting the
preparations aboard the Oregon, on which he
will hoist his flag this forenoon at IL O'Clock
and read the commanding officers address,
containing the stereotyped orders from the
Secretary of the Navy. The great battle-ship
viii remain here for some time receiving
finishing touches and her complete crew,
which viii, consist OF 437 enlisted men, 80 to
30 officers and naval cadets. So far
the Oregon has no sailing orders and has not
been assigned 10 any squadron, but there
is ample time for that, as it requires many
weeks to fit up big 10 ,000-ton vessel.
