In tji.ifirstt issue of the Astokiax we
pubii-hed a report from a committee to
the Astoria Chamber of Commerce, on
shiwingatftmnTc'dn
forborne days believing. the ijrjjiaUoA
therein tptjfortii tj) bof" vital impaftanc

"We now propose to republish the leaning
points of sai&'report with jsuch-jadditions
as seems to us meet and continue the same
as an editorial, for the ;reasou that there
these truths, nnd" rhpir rmariner upon the
fut-renoFsour jjreat State.' We are of
those who believe that Oregon is rich, in
all that goes to make up a first class State,
and that nil that'isTeauired, to usher in a
degree of extreme prosperity the.pjacjngj

of a'Tafir reui-n for labo'fv,'"'ifi tlieway of

Trie'fjuestion then is' to so order bur
conditions that .wheat s-hall be wdfth'as'
much' at tide water in Oregon,, as it Is in
uaiiiornm, ana weuien nave suincient
stimulous to induce the opor-ing'up of all
availible wheat land in the State, and" the
consenuentpeqpleing of the State in a cor
responding ratio. -J The question is now
shall this be'ddner AVe maintain that it
is a simple problem. AYestaitout with
the statement that a cargo df wheat, fcay
iii'ty thousand "bushels at Astoria, is worth
as much afloat, as the same. quantity of
wfyeat Is woith in San Fi-anci-co, afloat,
for 'export to any maket south of the equa
tor, or on the western shore of the Pacific
oceau. That which is reouired is the
pla'cing of the Oregon grain at Astoria,
where the' larger elass of carriers can al
ways c6mc,'and fjie givingtf hat infor
mation to the vliip p wners of the1 world.
13ut we must break un the ' riresent ar
rangement of dragging yes-ijelb over the
mud-to 'Portland, and avoid the delays'
incident thereto. The report says;
The water, front of Astoria l vary in c
fromaouarterof a mile to a mile in widtli
aiibrds 'over -six miles of secure anchorage
for the largest classed vessels', in from ix to
twelve fathoms of water. !No storms have
ret visited the -harbor that effected .any
damage to shipping riding nt anchor- in
the bay or, lying at the wharf.--
Should the deniands of commerce re
'quire about five consecutive miles of do'efc
aer may" 'be cheaply constructed' from the,
river' b!ink to the edge of the channel,
'piiiig being, nee'essary but ar -short dis

Or, a dividend of 19 per cent, on cost of
the larger ship as against 5 per cent.1 on
that of the biualler. Or, to reduce .both to
5 per cent., the 3,000 ton ship will cany
'wheat to "Liverpool for over a third less
than the 1,000 toil vessel; that is, 20 center
against 45 cents per bushel. AqUI to this
the cost as above figured, incidental to
delays and'river expenses of 4 cents per
bushel, audit gives a net gain of 20 cents
per bushel in i'avor of Astoria as an ex
porting harbor, and the employment of
such vessels as- can safely cross the bar,
over the present arrangement of Portland
and small vessels. 'Twenty cents per
bushel on the estimated crop of .the State
for 1873, viz: 5,000,000 bushels, gives the
snug little bum of $l;000,000that theJarm
cr should have'for his labor. The 'above
iigures are 4all4, substantially correct, .and
teil their own story.
It may be said-thafc several large vessels
have loaded at .Portland, but the Custom
House records 'show that of4 the twenty
vessels na'riied below, comprising 'all the
vessels of any size that? have .sly led ."fiom.
