AN OBSERVER OBSERVES.

ASTORIA. Sept. 1s.--Editor Astorian;
! notice in your issue Of today, Sept
10Th. a local regarding the ships Gen.
ista and Orealla and that they were
detained for want OF a crew.
The facts about the orealla are that
she left Portland on the morning OF
September 18th and on reaching the
mouth OF the Willamette on that day,
was grounded. there not being sufficient
water in the river TO allow her TO pro-
ceed down the river. She was ligh-
tered some $50 tons. and then she was
iioated and towed to Astoria, arriving
here on Sunday morning. the 10Th. and
the lighterage was placed in her after
arriving at Astoria and was finished
being put in her last night. the 18th
Of September. So not until this morn
ing. the 18th. was she loaded and ready
for sea. So she was not detained UP
10 this time on account Of having no
crew.
l notice in the oregonian that Mr..
Burns. of Balfour. Guthrie & Co.. sent
cablegram to Liverpool on Saturday.
stating that the orealla was loaded
and ready for sea and was detained by
the crimps. He knew at that time
that she lacked some $50 tons Of be-
ing loaded and he knows now that she
was not loaded and ready for sea till
this morning. the 18th. So this cable
gram is misleading to the Shipowners
Association.
The Oregoniau will not. in all its
articles regarding said vessel. say one
word about her not being loaded. and
that II took her three days to so 100
miles, and that she was stuck at the
mouth Of the Willamette river and
had to be llghtered. No. not a word Of
truth why she was detained up to the
morning OF September 18th from Mr..
Burns or the oregonian. Why don't
they say something about said deten-
ton?
This is a matter Of interest to the
public. the skipper, the producer and
every one interested in the commerce
of the Columbia river, and the crimps,
as Mr. Burns calls them. are not res
ocnsible for the delay to said ship up
to this time. but might be from this
time on. but said delay is largely due
to Mr.. Burns himself. in that he is
representing the owners OF said ves-
sci and allowed her to be loaded too
deep at Portland, therefore requiring
her to be lightered after leaving there.
This is not the first case Of the kind
but often such delays are caused by
such obstinate actions in requiring the
vessels to be loaded so deep that they
cannot come down the river In the or
dinary time. You surely noticed a
few days ago IN the Oregonian where
a ship was towed from Astoria to
Portland in thirteen hours. II she can
be towed up the river in that time why
should she not be towed down the
river in the same time. for it is easier
10 come down than 1t is to go up. There
is an explanation needed somewhere,
and Mr.. Burns and the oregonian
should make known to the Shlpowners'
Association the actual truth regarding
the ship Orealla.
