Disappointment, and mil be launch
ed in about six weeks. The craft is
thirty feet in length.
City Finances. The annual state
ment of the City Recorder of city fi
naccs up to the close of the last fiscal
year shows a small indebtedness.
At this time however the city is out
of debt.

Stock Raising. The mild Winter
climate of this part of Oregon, and
the fact that grass remains green'
the whole year through makes Clat
sop an excellent county for stock rais
ing; and wool .grown in this region
is of a superior quality, owing to our
cool Summers, warm Winters and
continued green feed for sheep.

considerable currency interior con

at the" Seaside ree :may -say- that
better fare can be had, at prices rul

in the rumor that babes are charged.

and see for yourself.
Arrived. The bark ftival Captain
Clements, and the American shipf
Confidence both arrived Saturday af
ternoon. The former with a full
cargo of assorted merchandise for
Astoria and Portland, and the latter
in ballast to load with wheat for the
outward voyage. The Confidence
sailed in, and the Rival came in
tow ol the tusc Astoria. Tnev were
both taken up the river leaving here
Sunday in tow of the Astoria.
Daily Boat. The fine steamer
Annie Stewart arrived here last
Saturday in jcommand of &ptJ Hoyt,
Upshur, Purser, and left yesterday
morning on the iirst daily arrange
ment trip..Th'e Dixie Thompson
Capt. Babbage, Dan. O' Neil Purser,
arrived last evening-, and will return
to Portland this"' morning. With
these steamers no line could be bet
ter equipped. The Annie Stewart
is a fast boat of large capacity, and
would be considered a favorite al
most anywhere. Her appearance
her was the signal for demonstrations J Knlijma beacon
of welcome on the part of all our
people, ancl we trust the company
may never have cause to regret the
action that places Astoria in daily
communication with the business
of Portland. When this trade so in
creases as to require two or three
palatial steamers plying daily and
nightly as between the old and new
commercial centers of York State,
Albany and New Yor:, we$hope to
be "able to refer with pleasure to the
inauguration of the daily line July 14,

the Columbia, river compete with San
Prancisco in the Eastern markets.
At the present time if one or two large
vessels anive here with foreign import,
the market becomes overstocked. Cur
own4 consumption is not sufficient for all?
and we have no outlet for the remainder.
With connection East equal to San Eran

markets outride for the surplus.
Wc do not now import direct all ! the
foreign goods consumed in our Stato, nor
will we ever until there are such outlets' af

Some houses are importing direct, hut
the fact of their not supplying the market

in shipping to a limited market. " Q.

Concerning- Grain Shipment?.
AsTonn, July 14, 1S7.?.
Editor Asteriax:
The farmers of Oregon are very desir
ous of devising some means which will
enable them to realize as' much per bushel
for grain as do the farmers of California.
It U argued that wheat should command
as much at Oregon's seaport an at San
Francisco, and that the caiv-c of iknot do
ing Kis tho location of that seaport.
"We yiU admit that the mouth of the
Columbia i iver is a hotter place'for the sea
port than themouth of tho "Wallamet riv
er, hut it is not enough hotter to cover the
difference in' the prices of wheat here and
at San Francisco.
The advantage of Atoria over Portland,
according to the lepoit in your paper, iaJ
four cents per bushel.
The American ship Confidence, just ar
rived in ballast from San Francisco, to
carry grain to Europe, estimates the addi
tional expense of coming heie at 5,000.
She will carry about i;i00tbns, a differ
ence therefore, iii round numbers, of four
dollars per ton, or twelve cents per bushel
in favor of San Francisco, and against
Portland; or eight cents per bushel against
Atoria.
Except that by such vessels going di
rectly foreign from here, Oregon's poit
will be made known in other lands, would
it not be bettor to give this extra $4 per ton
to our coasters to carry the -wheat to San
Franoisco for export, than to giv6 it to for
eign vessels, owned in foreign countries,
of even to' American vessels belonging to
the Atlantic coast? Very few vessels
owned on this coast are engaged in tho for
eign trade, particularly to Em ope. Would1
it ilot be bettor to give the 4 per ton to the
Oregon Steamship Company's boats to
expend on the railroads of our State than
to foreign vessels to carry away and do
posit in the banks of the old country.
Oregon should he tributary to no State,
but equal. Horea poit should have, and
by nature has, all things considered, ad
vantages for shipping equal to San Fran
cisco or Pugct Sound. But it devolves
upon her inhabitants toaftbid her sea port
the facilities furnished by the improvement
and devolopement of a countoy. f
In oi der that wh(at for expoi t ma' bring
as high a price in Oregon a in San Fian
cisco, our foiign tiade must bo dirqpttp
and f o. Under like circumstances, a ves
sel can come fiom Liverpool to the Colum
bia river as cheaply as to San Fiancisco,
but it cannot come hither by tho way of
San Fi ancisco as cheaply, nor can it come
directly hither jn ballast and cany out
grain as. cheaply as it could go to San
Fiancisco with cargo and tako away the
same amount of grain.
Aforo business and trade in this State are
necessary tp bring vessels heie diuctwith
cargoe. . r
One way to increase the trade is to fill
the State. with immigrants till eveiy quar
ter section of available land supports a

tako the liberty to say that thore may perhaps
havo boon somo bad management in the buci
ncss of tho Boad, but, if there has been, it ha
not bcven through the carelessness or negligence
of the Chairman. Every "Warrant that ha
beon sold was sold'by and with tho advice and
consont of tho Board. Thero has boon no do-
tontion through tho negligonco of the Chair
man, nor has there been any money belongingv

has boon appropriated by tho Hoard. In, f,iC
