THE ATOHI
ASTOEIA, OEEGOX: k'
I. C. IKELXSB t ErtltoV.
SATURDAY J-clt 26, 1873
THE XEIULEM YALIEY.
"Ve mentioned that a few days ago
Air. S. G. Caudle, with a party of
three young men from St. Helens had
reache1 Astoria overland on horse
back, on their way to Tillamook
county. The -trip was proposed far
the purpose of exploring the country,
and Mr. Caudle informs us that the
region is very much hotter than he
expected to find. Indeed, he is of
the opinion that there is some of the
finest land there that can be found
anywhere on the Pacific coast. At
our request he wrote a brief outline
of his observations, from which it
will be seen the Nehalem Talley is a
locality worthy of more attention.
3Ir. Caudle says :
" We struck the Xehalem in Co
lumbia county some distance below
what is known as the mouth of Rock
Creek, and have traveled down the
valley a distance of thirty miles or
more, keeping as near as practicable
in the valley all the time. I had
visited the upper settlement on the
" Nehalem at different times before,
and had heard much about the val
ley, but I had no conception of its
extent, neither could 1 conceive of
the vast richness of the soil. It cer
tainly is unsurpassed by anything on
the Pacific coast. I believe the gen
eral opinion concerning the Kehalem
is such as I entertained myself:
that it is generally a canyon. Such
however is not the fact. There is
but a short portion of it that a good
farm can not be located either on one
hide or the other of the river; and
many places the valley is wide. An
other idea is that it is heavily tira
t bered. 2uw there is heavy timber
' in places certainly, but the greater
portion of the desirable land is cov
ered with vine maple, alder, or salm
on Drush; and if parties who are in
search of homes, and wish to live by
cultivating the soil, would go in
there, and slash down this brush,
burn it off, and sow their seed in the
ashes, verily the Scripture would be
fulfilled, for it would "produce an
hundred lorn." .Tames going in
now, however, would meet with dif
ficulties, for tliere is no trail up the
'fiver except what we made coming
down, and as Jordan is supposed to be
a " rough road to travel," we chris
tened this trail "Jordan." How
ever, after the existence of such a
body of land is generally known, par
tiesVill go there and settle, and they
will have roads; and I predict the
time is not far oil when that will be
the best ijortion of northwestern
Oregon."
THE PRESENT MANNER OF
SHIPPING OUR PRODUCTS.
The Jflesults that will Follow if the
Present Manner of Shipping ihc
Products of Oregon i-i not changed.
As a general rule vessels chartered
to come to Portland, Oregon, for car
goes are required to agree to wait
thirty lay days after reaching their
destination. This is .to allow the
shippers time to collect "their differ
ent lots of grain from the different
localities in the State this including
hVe'davs average time consumed in
irping up and down tho river waiting
for tides. Pogs and other delays
make.thirtj'-iive days, which is near
the time occupied by each grain ves
::J
sel .after entering -the Columbia river
.until she is readv for sea. As near as
- - -
we. can learn the same, class of ships
are delayed from 10 to 13 days in San
JTran cisco discharging frciglit or bal-
- , .lastand taking in cargoes of grain,
Jifay h'ftqen days, this leaves .us twen-
" mi & davs aa s oss time. At $100 per
. '.4.u d;iy demurrage is 2,0QDj or when al-
, fel lowing so many lay days it is added

mi ecargo of. 1,000 tons, to be charged di-

this amount, but would say that, in
-x.
.a i i
our opinion, based upon tho diffor
"Vi
tit will amount to'fullvas much as the
cost of lightering the grain to this
point in proper steamers or barges.
As a general rule, in order to char
ter ships to go to Portland), the ship
pers have agreed to pay all lighter
age, over and above the price agreed
per ton to Liverpool, (or our grain
market,) consequently the producer
has been compelled to pay this
amount twice, the shipper, of course,,
estimating lighterage when he pur
chases the grain, deducts that amount
from the price he offers in the mar
ket. Thus you can see only another
small part of the reason why wheat is
quoted so much higher in San Fran
cisco than in Portland.
If this same policy is continued
the result is inevitable, that shipping
will be driven from the Columbia
river to Paget Sound, and for the
time being, the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company may carry grain
at rates that will induce shippers to
send their grain that way, but when
once established, gradually increase
the rates, as only such monopolies
can do, and by making the Columbia
river bar the great bug beat'j frighten
all the larger class of ships away from
our river, and compel our noble State
to 7e tributary to an insignificant ter
ritory that to-day has not enough
acres of arrablc land within her bor
der to supply products for ' her own
consumption.
Producers and citizens of Oregon !
now is the time to check this great
evil, before it has secured such a
grasj) that you cannot sliakk it off.
Join with Astoria, not to destroy or
pull down Portland or any other city
in our own State, but to protect our
own interests and build up commerce
within her borders, and a sea port
that is accessible by water to almost
every farmer in Oregon.
This can be done br proper en
couragement to the Astoria Farmers'
Company, or any other companj' who
contemplate erecting largo wharves
or warehouses for storing grain at
this point, where the largest class of
slii)S can come, discharge freight or
ballast, and take in cargo in from ten
to fifteen davs time, and be off on
I her way. The interest for twenty
; days, on a cargo of 40,000 bushels, at
yu cents per ousnei, ob,uuu, at l perh
cent, j is $-2,400 a snug little sum
that has not been included, and as
the cry is that ships are scarce, save
this time and use steamboats or barges
built in Oregon, by Oreganians, of
Oregon lumber, and run by men whdJ
live in Oregon, have families to sup
port, and spend their money in Ore
gon i to bring the grain to tkenv By
having your grain here, and for sale
by the cargo, when the commission
merchant receives a dispatch to pur
chase a cargo of grain at a given price,
he will give you from five to ten
cents more per bushel than he will
for smaller lots, as he can estimate at
once exactly what he can afford to
pay, ana docs not send Ins agents
or middle men around through the
country to buy wheat, paying
them
live cents per bushel for doing what
is in reality an injury to yourselves,
for by disposing of your grain to
them you place it where they can
handle it just as they please, (or the
different transportation companies
can bring the pressure to bear so that
they can handle the agents,) and the
more complicated they can make it
appear to the farmerthe less price
he will sell for.
To avoid this, make arrangements
through the officers of your different
granges or clubs with tho 'railroads
and steamboats, or any responsible
party that will bring your grain, (or A
a part of it as an experiment,) direct
here, without drayage, wharfage,4
.wastage, &c.. and your profit and 'loss
account wilL be more satisfactory,
and' you will see the benefits to .be
gained by the producers and con
sumers of Oregon.
