Lumber Rate
Annoy Them
All Points on Southern Pacific
and O. R. & N. Steamers
are Affected

Local millmen are very much dis
turbed because OF a new lumber rate
that has just been put into effect out
Of this city. The rate shows big In
crease over former rates. and millmen
aver II will play havoc with their busi-
ness In the fruit districts OF California
The new rate affects all points on the
Southern Pacific and applies as we'll on
the O.. r. & ". steamers running 70
California. The old rate on box shocks
was $3.50 by water and $4i0 by rail out
Of Astoria, but the new rate. which
became effective August 20, Ia $3.50 by
water and So by rail. .
Corresponding increase has been
made In the rate on lumber sent out
by rail. The old rate on-dressed lumber
was 50 per ton, or about 50 per thous-
and feet. II has been increased to t5
The increase on rough lumber is even
greater. being about 50.
The new rate applies to Portland as
well as to Astoria, but the Oregon me-
tropolis enjoys some distinct advant-
ages Those points to which Astoria
ships most Of its product are now prac-
tically cut on, the rate to MarysvilI.
for instance, being 81 higher from AS
toria than from Portland. The rate is
81 greater from Portland to Los An
geles than from Astoria, BUT local firms
do little shipping to that point.
I The milimen OF this city are not at
all disposed to take the worst Of mat
ters and II IL whispered around that
they will take steps to run an inde-
pendent steamer out of astoria. An As
torian man who interviewed some Of
the local millmen yesterday was told
that plans for the future were not yet
In shape to be divulged. but was as
sured that the matter would not be
passed up without fight.

To Improve
Lower Harbor
Major Lansftt Makes Reply to
Chamber Relative to Channel
Deepening

At last nights meeting OF the Cham
Der Of Commerce reply was read from
Major Langfitt with reference to deep
enlng the harbor just below the city.
The Chambers recommendation Was TO
the effect that the greatest need Of
dredging was In the anchorage between
buoys and 8, or that expanse OF water
from Smith point to Flavel. At the
present time the depth there ~ not
sufficient TO accommodate large vessels
at extremely low water, and Major
Langhtt was requested to have the
dredge Ladd work there whenever pos
sible.
In his reply he states that he is uri-
willingly forced 10 state that II viii be
Impossible to use the Ladd at that part
Of the harbor. The dredge is kept busy.
he says, securing out the ship channel
above Astoria. and the opinion is ex-
pressed ha lille
pressed that little could be accomplish
cd In the few odd days that the Ladd
might be available for the purpose rec
ommended by the Chamber.
The letter Is concluded with the sug-
gestion that perhaps the big dredge,
Grant, now under preparation for work
at the mouth OF the Columbia. may be
utilized to deepen the harbor below the
city.
The Chamber Ii not at all disposed to
let the matter rest, and further cores
pondence will take place with the gov
ernment officials.
Recently the Chamber instructed
Secretary Higgins to nddress letters to
the members Of the Oregon congress
aional delegation, asking them TO use
their influence with the secretary OF
war In securing a relocation Of the
harbor line. Last evening favorable
reply was received from Congressman
Williamson. Similar replies have also
been received from Messrs. Fulton,
Mitchell and Hermann. A copy OF the
resolution was forwarded to the secre-
tary OF war. but no answer has yet been
received from him. The Chamber Is
anxious 10 have d commission appoint
ed to examine Into the matter.
A proposal was received from J. r.
Lever, Of Eureka. Cal, for the erection
here OF woolen mill. Mr.. Lever says
he understands the people OF Astoria
are desirous OF securing an enterprise
OF this character and believes he has
the min that win fill the bill. The plant
is new, he says. and he will locate here
provided a stock company is formed
locally. and $4,000 In cash is subscribed
for stock. an additional 5000 to be
subscribed in lumber. The matter was
referred to the manufactures commit
ties.
The matter OF the erection Of a mon
ument at the site OF Fort Clatsop was
given considerable attention. B. Van
Dusen, Astoria's representative on the
fair beard, stated that he had brought
up the subject, but that nothing OF
definite nature had transpired. Presi-
lent Welch. Of the Chamber. had talk
ed with President Scott, OF the fair
board. and the latter seemed impressed
