35 "VTILLA-METTE FAEMEE. 5 i high rates of chnrtcrnge, towage, pi lotage, etc N v The only tourco of "relief tliat now h dlscernable, isa licalty competition on the river; wo do not desire oppo sition, because that means strife for the mastery, and one or the other must fcoon withdraw, and tho ship per pays tho bill. But If this now company carries out tho schedule of prices that Is now printed, thoro will bo nothing to complain of, but the danger 1 that tho old line will como as low, if not lower, and all will pat ronize tho old lino; consequently the new lino will be compelled to with draw, and then wo will bo In as bad a flx as before. I am told that tho old company has said they will never run a boat through the locks, and If tfiey do not, they certainly cannot (.arry freight as cheap as tho Willam ette River Transportation Company. F.VKMKIt. A Few Plalo Words. ' Editor Willamette Farmer: As I am at this tlmo giving my at tention to farming and breeding stock, I read with much interest tho discussions of farmers in their diirer eut Clubs, and I attended one In my locality in which I was reiuoled to take part and become a member. I declined to Join, and gave as myrea on that 1 would wait until I could .certain by their actions what course they wore- going to pursue. If they were going to try to make two spears cf grass grow whero only ono had grown, also to ascertain how to carry tho most slock on their pastures, and tho management of stock and best breeders compared with common stock. The most important feature, as I look upon It, has not as yet boon brought before tho clubs, and that Is pasturing stock in winter after it bo comes very wet. I think there 1 more wasto than farmers are awaro of, and the loss since I have In en In Oregon in riming slock on wet grouds and in burning straw, I have nodoubt amounts to millions. .Such discus-t-iuu as will bilng forth practical re sults will not only bo very Interest lug, but very p roll table, lint to meet and dcuounco trading men, and call them speculators, and say they wero forming rings and laying plans to i-teal your property In tho lattor courheofaclub,Icould not join them, considering tho time would not only be wasted, but It would work a ser ous injury to Oregon. Wo want to oneourago trading men to como among us, mid for one, I desire to give them encouragement. 1 havo been one amongst you, and am well known by reputation, and as 1 havo laid down that and retired on ono of my farms, four miles from Salem, I ask you to take this in all klinlncs fiom me, as thoso hard words of " rings," "combinations to Meal," Ac, aro not meant for me, as I am I hope retired, and hope to remain on my farm with my llttlo family, and again no oi some ocneni to you as a breeder of good stock, and In Intro ducing tho best grasses and studying the best mode or farming. Farmers of Oregon, I wish your best interest", and would like to talk with you every ono personally, but that cannot be. But, if desired, I will wrlto a few articles, and bring somo points before the clubs for their discussion. You all know I am not (i practical farmer, but it is admitted that I have somo knowledge in rais ing stock, as I raised tho best and heaviest bullock on this coast, also tlfty of tho best cattle ever taken to Victoria, it Is said, by 200 IK per head, and my hogs have been much noted. With theso recommenda tions, I ask admittance; and after ad inlttuuco wo will have somo plain family talk about thoso speculators, and warehouses, and lings, and boll Jng tho rts A.c. As 1 havo for a number of years been a speculator, I can jj'ivo you somo facts, and urn thluKlng of giving you my method d curing meats, which bus had so uiuch reputation.
