In yesterdays oregonIan appeared an
article on the necessity OF che passage of
ths MackAy pIlOtAge bill, now pending be-
fore the legislature. The article closes
With the following paragraph:
The passage OF the Mackay bill will re-
move from the Columbia river the stigma
that we drain shlpmasterS OF every cent
that Il is possible to get out ot them. II
will improve the reputation of the r'ver
abroad and at home. and lead TO more
cordial relations between pilots. shlpmas-
tiers and exporters. II is a long step In
ths right direction. The entire state de-
mands the enactment OF the bill into law;
and well Il may. for the real beneficiary
Of wise pllo,age laws Is the farmer. and
the real sufferer by excessive fees is the
farmer. Tor any unnecessary expense in
this line comes out Of the price Of our
export produce.
This has been the contention Of the As
tOrian ever since the agitation for the
common point al Astoria commenced. but
the oregonian and the o. R & y. organs
sf the Inland Empire refused to admit 1T.
The elementary fact os she whole discus
sion is that the farmer Is compelled TO
pay the entire expense OF taking vessels
to Portland. Pilotage. towags and other
expenses come out OF the pockets Of the
producers. and will continue to do so
as long as Astoria is denied the common
point. The oregonian sums the matter
up uriefiy in the above statement Just
30 long as ships are taken to Portland to
receive their eargoes-a condition neees-
sary until Astoria is made a common
pOlnt-iust 50 lOns. win the farmer have
10 pay for the absolutely unnecessary
work q dragging ships 100 miles inland.
The cost Of taking ships TO Portland to
load IS estimated by good authority at
3 cents for every ton OF grain that Is
handled. This must be paid by tho
farmer. The result is that the wheat
growers OF the Inland Empire will lose
S1OOoOOO on this years crop alone. With
a common point at Astoria, this vast
amount could be saved TO the producer.
The construction OF q railroad TO the sea-
port OF Oregon has done away with the
necessity Of towing ships up the Columbia
10 load. and It is only right that the
farmer should reap the benefit Of the op-
portunity thus afforded for an Increase
In the price OF his wheat. This state
ment OF the oregonian is an admission
Of the whole Astoria contention, and il
a conclusive argument for the establish.
ment Of the common point at Astoria.

JUDGE GRAY AND THE EAST ORE
CONAN.

Some time ago Judge Gray addressed a
letter to the East oregonian on the sub
iec; OF the Astoria common point con-
troversy In order TO insure It's insertion
IN that paper, the letter was enclosed 70
Judge Martin, Of Pendleton. with the re-
quest that he see that 1t was published.
The letter was as follows:
ASTORIA. Or. Sept ls. lS9S.-To the Ed
Ror.-The beginning Of the recent con-
troversy in regard TO the purposes Of the
citizens Of Astoria originated with a reg
Blar correspondent of the Oregonian and
was sent to that paper in response to d.
rect orders from its manager. Hardly
person in Astoria at that time approved
the sentiments expressed. or the manner
Of launching them. Developments since
that time have by the action OF the o.
r. & y. Company In refusing the just
claim q the common roint rate on lumber,
which 1t is claimed was dictated by
prominent business men Of Portland,
caused a feeling Of resentment and de-
termination TO rebel against such injus-
tiee. II Is thought that the managers OF
the oregonian became frightened at the
wind and blum Of the interviewer, and at
the instigation Of the o. r. & n. Company
and the wheat pool Of Portland, built "a
man Of straw" in assuming 10 De the
friend of the producers OF Oregon and
Washington. By distorting It's own, and
the Astor!an's statements, 1t has led some
intelligent persons to believe that the
people OF Astoria and the newspapers Of
this city oppose the improvement Of the
Columbia and Willamette rivers. Every
good citizen Of Astoria, assure you,
looks forward even more anxiously than
you, to the day when steamers and barges
loaded with lumber. wood, fish, salt, coal
and so forth will daily leave the wharves
OF Astoria for Eugene, Lewiston and all
the way ports returning loaded with
wheat, -four, wool, cattle. ores, granite
and fruit or all kinds. Until this can be
done, neither eastern. southern nor west
ern Oregon can be fully developed. AS
porians desire now, and always have
worked faithfully for the improvements
Of the rivers and harbors Of our state: TO
permanently improve the mouth of the
Columbia river, so that the largest ships
and cheapest carriers could enter TIE
The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1898-10-02
One paragraph OF the comments on
Judge Gray's letter was as follows:

Judge Gray's letter was as follows;
Untn the truth Of these assertions is
proven Astoria Is iujurinS herself by Try
ing TO pull other interests down In order
that she may pull her own up. There Is
no sentiment about the people who raise
handle and sell wheat All things being
equal. they prefer 70 continue their rela-
iions with Portland. When Astoria is IN
position to pay more for wheat than can
be obtained for Il az Portland she will get
the business and not before. II Is sim
ply silly seihshness to attempt to howl"
the railroad company into delivering
wheat at Astoria. az a loss TO Itself. for
no other reason than 10 benefit Astoria

fOr wheat.
The Astoriau is not surprised that the
o. r. & y. press bureau does not like 10
hear a howl on this subject from AS
tor.a. Doubtless o. r. & y. officials and
their subsidized tools and agents are un-
easy about the disclosures made during
the present discussion Of the facts relat-
ing to the freight and common point ques-
ton. We do not blame them for feeling
bored" by Astorla's CONTINUED reit, radon
Of these facts for the information Of in
land producers. The Astorian has to in
form them. however. that our auger has
hardly got started. Only comparatively
small number have yet united in the
howl" that Is proving so distressing in
certain quarters but from letters now be-
ing received in Astoria from points in
eastern Oregon. there will be perfect
chorus Of howls going up shortly over
the o. r. & " Company's determinations
against the inland producers: dlscrimln-
alton which has made possible the ac-
cumulation Of fortunes by the Portland

price Of wheat in California and Oregon.
