Tliry are more naturally allies of lha ao-callod "Fort land ring"," whilo wo aru owned by tho pro ducer nnd know that our sucress lii.i in heojiiiig them well jioslod and commanding their confldoneo.

Tlio recent attach of tho loading journal of Oregon on the 1'AltMKii, were at attomjit to ridicnlo tho inforcatiou wo have given pro lucors. They havo a right to know tint good Walla Walla or llastern, Oregon wheat is worth more, by - els. a bushil than N. 1 Oallfornia wheat in thoICngllshnmrki't; and thoy havo a right to know that Oregon Valley wheat U of a sujiciior quality in tho, Knglish market to C'alifornh wheat, and worth S ct.i, a buihel more because it makes whiter lloiir; they havo a right to also know tint with three to fivo ihillintti iliflercnco hi freight agaiust ui, goad valley wheat should bo worth 2 ct. abiiil.el moro on tho whirf at Tortland than No. 1 California wheat 11 worth mi tho wharf m Haa Francisco. Vu Hliowod, too, thit with t'.iono facts unduritood it was evident that Oregon and V,iUn-;tt-ii producers had nalircd tivo to ten (tuta a liuilal Idi for thoir whet thin bad bicu paid to (Uliforuia jiroduccrs, and wo thinlc thcto ligurei aro entirely within Iho mark. Tho attempt of tho Oregonian to abuse tn for furnishing tlitso figures, aud to ridicnlo and distort what it could not deny, lu-edj no aiidwcr from hk, for ovcry man must seo that kiich conduct cau only oxcito contempt from iutellicont readers and injure its own stand ing. Its course illustrates, better than our argument, tho necessity that productrn shall Iiavo an organ they cau depend on and bo Iieve in, whose sympathies aro with produc tion moro than with trade. Our intention had been to show that shipping will be much more plentiful in a few weeks, because .hip owners seem to bo concealing tho fact that many vessels aro on tho way; also, within a fw weeks, wo may look for a firmer market for wheat, whenever winter tkall eloso the lakes and tho canals of the United State, as well as tho Ilaltic ports, and no shut ofT the chance of shipment. Our contemporary thinks our efforts worthy of nbuio aud low attempt at ridicule, but in this it merely ahows to the world that it is not in sympathy with production and furnishes proof to the producer that ho,!iccds a reliable journal of his own. Tho Oregoniau accuses us of egotism. To tills we reply that the fact that our valley wheat is worth more in Kugland than Califor nia wheat, would ueicr havo been known to jiroduccrs of Oregon if it had not been told them in our columns. That paper denied the truth of our assertions as lately as last win ter.but the I'mimec. had mado it known for yjars beforn. The Oregonun never gave ijuotatijiu of orders from Livcrj-ool for shipment hero until long after tho F.ir.MEl:, then published at Salem, made them known, and then it gave figures for California wheat, and not for Ore gon, which was always woithmore. Further more, that paper has not for threo months just ghou KuglUh quotations for Oregon wheat, but all its figures havo been for Cali fornia wheat, wonm 3 CTU A nUiilIRL IKS'. What was that but an attempt to defraud the producers of Oregon of 5 cts. a buthel? If not that, it was gross stujiidity, which is oven worse. Simple arithmatio proves us to be correct in every jiarticular. We offered, last week, to provo the correctness of our figures by any resjwctable merchant of this city the Oregoaian could name. What is true of nlicrvt is also trito of wool and ovcry other produit. Tho bmincM of production needs protection. Tho producer needs to bo informed in a reliable manner ot all that relate i to vatuo of products, and whilo wo havo not tho kind of auity and rg otism wo aro accused of, wo believe that wo jiosacss the ability, and know that wo jioshoh tho will and desire, to mako this journil use ful to jiroditccri of the northwest in uvery par. ticuhr. Our ability is in a incisure restrict ed by our means but as jntronago increases wo K.ia'l use it to widi.ii our sphere of ttwful norr.. VH Ar 0iH A KAHE 1 Klevon yeara ago, thU coming winter, tho WiM.AMKTrrs l'.MtJinu was Martrd, and at tint timo farming operations in Oregon wero confined ihiclly to this valley. The great eajnhilitios of tho "Upper Country," ai tho widoexjunso Kast of tho Cascado tango wai called, wero not dreamed of, ami even I U vast jMiturcs wuro tint well grazed. Tlio shores of Vugct Sound were all in forest and the jiroduatlveoess that is now realised thcro wai not c en in its infancy. Tho hills and val ley of tho Umjiijua wero epacp walk?, and tho inimhcrlcM nooks and valleys that mo iiow being settled in ovqry dircotion wore ly in,; In nbsoluto and unbroken wijdcrucss. When tho paper jiasscd, throo years later, into jiroscnt bauds, rn felt that the nr.maw.is nut oxjiansivo aud expressive enough, but it had been bestowed ujtou it in its infancy and if the country developed it would Mill ha pas oihlo for this journil to be its chronicler and tho advouato aud friend of all it.i diversified intcratts and difiennt loc.tlitlei. Tiila wo havo cudeavored to do. To-day tho F.tmiuit is no moro tho exponent and ndvocato of the Willamette valley than it n nf tho I'alouso country, tho Wall i Walla or Umatilla al leys, or nny other portion of Oregon and Washington, W boar in mind, equally, tho lutorcsta of all parts, recording all matters of intcrcat from Iliitish Columbia to! tho Cali fornia line, and doing our licst to mako tho good jKiiuti of all manifest, and to allow tho resources and tho progress of every portion of tho I'.icilis Xoithwefit. Those who road tno I'mimhi mukt recog i.i 'o tint such is the case. Wo are deter. mined to work fur Orogoti and Washington alike, for tho upper country and tho weaiorn valleys, for the coast country, tho xoiithoru counties and Fuget Sound. Wo aro i.'dncod to u.akc thnso remnrks because wo know that Jomo peoplu object to tho n.i'.uo. If wo showed a narrow jiurj-oso such ohjectien might bo just, but wo assure the pcojdo who livoca'-tof tl.o Mountain! that, whilo wo in tend to do all proper honor to thu Willamette valloy, wo alo pnip3o to idai'.ify tliii jour m'. with Ilasttrn Oivgnn and Washington, and do full justku to all that ir.lerests or bencfitd thorn.

That they do ao geusrally wo aro certain, and tho knowledge inspire) us with moro earnestness to accomplish all that is joihlo for our read ers and make this journal moro useful to them thin ever. This journal ocMipim a place in pubh.' oti ination possojstd by uu othir, bocaujM it is neither jiartisan or sctarian, aud ao cannot have class enemies, and it labors for tho gen eral advancement and prosperity of tho class who Jewess more sterling worth and have or should havo more intlueuce than any other. It is pleaiantcr to mako a journal in tho interest of agriculture than in any other interest, aud as tho join pii and our friends increase in number and tho evidences of jiopularity and appreciation are more and moro evident we realize that tho growth and prosjierity nf this region, which is almost entirely dejendent ujoii agriculture, will sooiigno us means to mako tho 1'm:mxi;..ioc ond to nj other Orcgou journal, Tliera is only one way for us to attain tin position we aim at and that is for our friends to astist us by making efforts in each neigh borhood to increase our circulation. It is by this menus wo hao continually grown iu cir culation. To send canvassers into the field entails mors expenw than profit, besidu tho uncertainty that thoy are responsible, so wo endeavor to mako it an object for jeraons in every locality to interest themselves for us. Our club rates are that for any jterson who will send us four new subscribers aud $J03 wo will send one number free, sud the ap jiroich of tie now year is a good time to j-ut this in operation.
