WILLAMETTE FARMER. ft1; BEEF PACKING IX KA9TEUX OKEGOX. The most Important question that now arises in connection with the future of Eastern Oregon is: How can the vast herds of cattle now accumulating there become a fair source of profit to the pro ducer? The home market for beef is lim ited, there is no foreign market opened up as yet, and the resources of that vast region are paralyzed, simply because the one natural source of wealth and pros perity cannot be made available, as for meats are low and the demand very limited. Mr. Thomas Cross has frequently con versed with us on this subject, and ex pressed the opinion that the quality of the Eastern Oregon beef being -consider-ed,and the excellence of climate for pack ing and curing meats properly Improved, it would be possible to cure and pack beef (or the European market and so cre ate a demand for the growing samples of beef that seems likely to become a drug in the market, and the possession of which serves to discourage the ranch men of Eastern Oregon. Mr. Cross has considered the matter for several years and has coriesponded with parties well situated to form an ac curate opinion of the markets, but with out much encouragement. The success with which his meats have stood the voyage twice through the tropics to Liv erpool, and the admiration they com manded there, form an additional induce ment for him to turn his attention in that direction, and have induced him to make a visit to Wasco counry,tlic results of which we copy as follows from tho Mountaineer. The following is a copy of the contract that Mr. Thomas Cross and John Michel bach propose to enter into with the cat tle raisers of Eastern Oregon and Wash ington, in order to test tho question as to whether beef can bo packed and shipped from this point and compete with that put up in other countries: "We, the undersigned, do-hereby agree and bind ourselvc to deliver tins number of cattle set opposite our names to Cross mid Mlchelbach at Tho Dalles, Oregon, during the month of October, 1875. Tho consideration therefore to be 2 cents per pound net weight, and to be paid by said Cross and Michelbach when the said beef, properly packed, has been sold in tho European market aud the return of the proceeds of such sale or sales for warded or made; provided, that if said beef should spoil in transportation, or no nales be efi'ected, then the said Cross and Michelbach to be in no way bound." Mr. Thomas Cross, of Salem, well known on this coast as a successful beef and pork packer, has recently made his first visit to this upper country. He was in our city two weeks since, and has this week returned on his way back from Ochoco. He speaks in glowing terms of the advantages of Eastern Oregon, (as ho has seen it,) as a grazing country; saying that although ho had heard of it before coming, he had not rualied its vastness, nor the excellence and abundance of the bunch grass. Mr. Cross has been considering the question of a beef packing establishment in this part of the world, and judging from his views expressed to us, we think a concerted actiou on the part of our stockmen would decide nun in undertaK inir it, and in making The Dalles his point. Mr. Cross proposes something in this line: he will put up the necessary build ings, fixtures, &c, and furnish salt and barrels, aud pack ft lot, of several hun dred barrels, to throw on the market as a test of the success of the enterprise, pro vided, the community, or the stock men, will share the risk with him in furnish ing the cattle. During the conversation, a point wu mentioned that We had not thought of before, namely, the advantage of our cli mate in Its drying power, over that of Western Oregon. Beef, and pork inten ded for drying, or smoking, can be dried here in a little more than half the time required in the Willamette valley, and hence will retain its quality with les care after drying. The capacity of the proposed establish ment Is two hundred beeves a day; and this during the season, of about three months, would work, up, in round num bers 15,000 head. Since our conversation with the gentle man we have been turning the scheme over in our mind; if we had cattle, we think we would take the risk. As a community, the plan Includes, 15,000 hides to tan, 30,01)0 horns and 00,000 hoofs for glue, thousands of pounds hair, and millions of pounds of tallow. We wish it might bo realized.
