"WILLAMETTE FAEMER: PORTLAND, OREGON, SETEMBER 22, 1882, BOAKD OF TRADE. Annual Address of President Macleay and Re port! of Officers. Boatd called to order at 7:30, President Macleay in the chair, with a larpe attendance present. Minutes of the last meeting read by the secretary and approved by the board. Hon. M. C. George eccupici a scat at the right of the president. President Macleay read the following AX.NCAL ADDRESS: Gentlemen of the Board of Trade: With the completion of another year, it becomes my duty to review the various events which have marked the advance of onr community in wealth and prosperity during that period. Our means of internal transportation have been greatly extended. The lines of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company have been completed from the Cascades to The Dalles, in the face of engineering difficul ties of seemingly insurmountable magnitude. The line from this city to tho Cascades Js also being l.ipidly bailtj and we may confi dently expect that by January 1, 1883, we may be able to ship freight without breaking bulk, from Portland to Riparia, W. T., on the Snake river, a distance of 300 miles, and to some point beyond Pendleton, Oregon, both on the lines of the 0. R. & N. Co., whilst the Northern Pacific Railroad expects to reach Missoula, Montana, a distance of 614 mi es from Portland by the same date. The ooean going fleet of the Oregon Rail way and Navigation Company has been in creased during the last year, by the addition of the magnificent iron steamship, the Queen of tho Pacific, ot 3,000 tons register, thus comnletincr a line of four first-class ocean steamers of 10,323 tons burden, plying be tween Portland and San Francisco for the ex. elusive carriage of explosive and combustible freight. The progress of the Northern Pacific Rail road has been marked by indomitable energy, patient industry and celerity of construction. The road is now' complete to Rock.lsland, in Montana territory, about 500 miles from Port land, working from this end, whilst from the eastward it has reached tho crossing of the Yellowstone river, opposite Billings.Montana, leaving an uncompleted gap of about 650 miles only. From present indications the road will be finished and opened for trans-continental travel about the oloae of 1883. As concerns terminal facilities, and conven iences for commerce at this port, much pro gress has been made during the last twelve months. Private enterprise has erected sev eral new wharves and warehouses, while the extensivo terminal facilities, and the new dry dock of the O. R. & N. Co., are of sufficient importanoe to demand a detailed description in the report of the secret try of the Board. The extension of the Oregon and California Railroad southward, is making satisfactory progress. The road is in operation to Myrtle Creek, 220 miles south of Portland; and it is expected that track will be laid to upper Cow Creek, 50 miles further, by the end of the year. The company has a large construction force in the field, and unless the winter sea son should prove unfavorable, grading will be pushed forward into the Rogue River Valley. The necessity for heavy rock work and long tunnels in the monntains, prevents any exact estimate of the date of final completion of the road; its officers hope, however, that they may successfully terminate their labors and give us through connection with San Francis co by the close of 1883. The extension of the railroads is already opening new markets for our jobbers, chief of which is that of western Montana. During 'last August I accompanied a delegation of Portland merchants to Missoula, in that ter ritory, our object being to form the acquaint ance of the business men of that place and to endeavor to establish relations with them which should secure to Oregon a portion of their trade. We were cordially received by the merchants and capitalists of Missonla, and were assured that it was their desire to trade with us, and that upon the completion of the Northern Pacific Railroad to their town, a portion of their purchases would be made in this market. Already several orders haye been received by some of our leading houses, and I believe that heavy shipments will here after be made to Missoula, Butte, Deer Lodge and Helena. In view of the alarming decrease of the run of salmon in the Columbia river, I deem it of imperative necessity that immediate action should be taken, either by the general govern ment or the State of Oregon, looking to the artificial propagation of this valuable food fish. Tho salmon in the river m ere noticeably less in number this year than last, and whilst the example of the Sacramento river shows that artifical propagation may be confidently relied on to keep up and even increase the supply, it also shows that it takes some years for th -young fish to attain maturity and enable us to reap the benefits of artificial propagation. During last winter the Oregon and Wash ington Fish Propogation Company tendered their hatchery on the Columbia eiver to the United States, provided the Government would carry it on. Their own funds were ex hausted, hence the offer. If the Government will not do the work, I believe the Legislature of the State should take it up. The importance of the salmon in dustry to the State of Oregon; may be seen from the following figures: The catch of 1881 amounted to 550,000 cases, worth in first hands, 2,"50,000. There are invested in canneries and their appliances upon the Co lumbia, $2,000,000 of capital. The fishing season huts four montbs, during which there are omoloyed about 7500 men, n hose wages aggregate Sl.aTO.OOO. The general Govern ment receives in duties on tin plate, lead, etc., F used in packing the fish, about $40,000 annu ally. ! The importance of preserving such an in- dustry is paramount, and I hope that our pub- lie men may appreciate the gravity of the sit 'uation, and make proper provision for the protection and propagation of the salmon. A well drawn and practiced law to prevent the indiscriminate slaughter of salmon by fish- wheels and other murderous devices is also urgently needed. The length of tho fishing season should also bo regulated by law; the times of tho year when fishing is prohibited and the duration of the weekly close times should- bo so clearly nnd unequivocally ex pressed as to afford no room for misunder standing, and rondcr the labors of the State s attorneys in securing the conviction of tho violators of the law less arduous than at pres ent. The Legislature of Washington Terri tory should also pass law s exactly similar to those of Oregon, thus preventing the law breakers of one community seeking safety by flight into the jurisdiction of the other. Tho agricultural interests of the-State have been healthy and prosperous. j largo acre age has been brought under cultivation, and farming lands have been in demand at better prices than havo heretofore prevailed. Tho great increase in immigration has at tracted wide-spread attention ; a steady stream of incoming passengers haing arrived at this port during the past season at" the rate of 150 souls per"deim. There is also a large immi gration overland, estimated as being equal to 40 per cent, of that arriving by sea. These immigrants are of the most desirable class, generally bringing more or less capital with them. Numerous small towns are springing up all over Oregon and Washington Territory, whilst those already established are rapidly increasing in size and importance. During the past season tonnago suitable for carrying our grain to Europe came freely to hand in such quantities and at such times as suited the demands of our shippers. Rates of freight were extremely high until about January 1, 1882, at which time a decline com menced which continued until about June 1, 1882, when very moderate rates were charged. The average rate was somewhat higher than last year, the price of wheat being also high er, in consequonce of an improved European demand. Our rich lands and never-fading crops com bine to make Oregon an essentially agricul tural community. Nevertheless, manufac tures have not been neglected. The older es tablishments of the State have increased their product in nearly every instance from 10 to 30 per cent. Flour milling is receiving greater attention. Old mills are being extended, new ones built, and much foreign capital is being invested in this direction. With our abund ant water power and fine wheat there would seem to be no practical limit to the extension of our milling facilities. The experience of other markets having de monstrated the wisdom of exportine manu factured product, rather than raw material. The substitution of flour for wheat, in outgo ing cargoes,'will redound to the profit and ad vantage of our State. As the Secretary's repors will contain ac curate reviews of the wheat crop, the wool clip and the salmon pack of the past season, I shall not detain you with any remarks upon these principal sources of our wealth. It is to be hoped that the labors of the United States Tariff Commission, now in ses sion, may bo productive of some good. In a country as vast as the United States, with the conflicting interests of its various sections, there is no subject which demands more pro found statesmanship than tho proper adjust ment of customs duties. The present tariff operates with peculiar hardship upon Oregon and Washington. The high duty upon steel rails adds vastly to the cost of railroad con struction, while that upon grain bags dimin ishes largely the profits of our farmers. The duty upon those articles, which are necessary to the continued prosperity of an agricultural community like ours, should be removed, whilst the deficiency in the revenue thereby arising should be made up by increas ing those upon articles of luxury. The growing importance of shipbuilding upon Puget Sound, Coos Bav and the Colum bia river also admonishes us that Congressional action in this direction is imperatively needed iu tosier mis inuusuy anu to restore our mer chant marine to the place it formerlv nccu. pied. Our commerce should be relieved from excessive taxation, and the duties upon all materials that enter into the construction of sail or steam vessels should be abolished. The cot of building vessels in the United States is only about 10 per cent, greater than iu England, and were we relieved from exces. sive taxation and onerous duties I doubt not we could compete with that country for the carrying trade of the world. The commerce of our port has suffered, and ship-owners have hecomo greatly dissatisfied, by rtason of the obscurity of our legislation upon pilotage and towage, and the linking together by law of these two subjects, an anomaly not presented at any other port in the known world. Pilotage is a matter to be regulated by the State. Tow age should always be left to private enter prise and the natural effects of competition. Acting upon these opinions, the Board has had prepared by the best legal talent of our community, a clear, thorough and practical bill, regulating pilotage and entirely ignoring tow are. This bill is to be submitted to the Legitlature now in session, and it is of vital importance that all classes of our citizens, and especially those in the rural districts, should do all in their power to ensure it hmmsb The farmers are specially interested, as a suit able pilot law will undoubtedly tend to reduce freights, and by so doing, correspondingly en hance the value of wheat. There is no subject of greater interest, to work of moie vital importance to the commer cial interests of tho entire Stato of Oregon, than the improvement of the river channels from Portland to the sea. The geteral government has made certain small appropriations for the purpose, but no comprehensive plan has been inaugurated no systematic work has been done. During the year last past the Board appro priated all its available surplus funds, which, together with a liberal amount subscribed by the merchants atd capitalist of Portland, were judiciously expebded by Captain Charles F. Powell, United States Kngineer, in deep emng the channel at tit. Helens and in dredg ing on the Columbia bar. The amount how. ever, whilst Urge, considering the source from whence it came, was by no means enough to do more than effect a very temporary change for the b.tter. The examples of Glasgow, Montreal, Philadelphia, Baltimore and other cities show that local funds must be relied on to accompliih such improvements as axe needed in our case. Those to be benefited by the change are those who must effect it. In our caie the people of the whole State aro inter ested. Jivery nusnei oi wneat exported over the bar pays an excess of freight money more than proportioned to the dangers and difficul ties ol the passage. Whatever tends to lower freights, to attraot shipping and to remove tho impediments to commerce, in tho same measure increases the value of the crop and raises the prices paid by tho shipper to the farmer. It is for this reason that I believe tho time has now como for the Legislature of tho State of Oregon to grapple with this prob lem and to provide liberal means for its solu tion. I believe that the funds of the State can be expended upon no more worthy object than this, which by increasing the value of our products, attracting foreign cipital and immigration, would greitlyadd to tho taxable resources of the State, returning to itj treasury ten fold the amount expended. In this connection it will be proper to refer to tho remarkable success of the Oicgon Rail .way and Navigation Company in dredging St. Helen's bar at their own expense with the propeller Walla Walla. This lino steamer was tak,ii to the bar and made fast by anchors. Water ballast was then pumped in unt 1 her stem was Miuk to tho ri er's bed, when l.er propellor was started with a velocity sufficient to have duven her ahead, had she lwen free, at the rate of ten miles an hour. The scouring action thus produced was such that in three days she had cut a channel clean through St. Helen's bar, 1,000 feet long, 100 f ,-et wide and 22 feet deep. This result will prove of incalculable benefit to us, aud it is confidently expected that no grain ship will be obliged to lighter during the coming season, In tho above work 18,000 cubic yards of sand were removed, at a cost of about eight cents per yard. During November last the Board addressed a petition to the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, praying him to place our representative, the Hon. M. C. George, upon the Committee of Commerce of the House. You are to be congratulated that we are successful in this matter, and that Mr. George was placed upon the committee, an honor never before extended to a newiy elected member of Congress. The progress of this Board during the year has been extremely gratifying to its officers and members. There has been a large increase in the membership, which includes all branches ot trade, uur rooms nave oeen surtarjiy ana tastefully furnished, and we at last have a place of meeting to which we can. point with pride, and in whi:h wo can receive commercial visitors in a manner to reflect no discredit upon us. In conclusion, allow me to thank the various officers and members of committees of the Board for the courtesy and able co-operation which 1 have received at their hands. Donald Macleay, President. secretary's report. From the report of the Secretary we learn that on Sept. 12, 1SS1, the membership ot the Board wis.. 18 Duilnff the 3 ear there were added to membership,, 137 Died 1 Resigned 3 Dropped from roll 6 Membership at date 260 Then followed a long and interesting ac count of the new dry dock being built by the O. R. & N. Co., and other important matters pertaining to the vast improvements being made in and around our city. He stated that the wool clip of 1882 exceeded that of 1881 zo per cent. The Assistant Secretary appended the fol lowing interesting statistics : Number of passengers carried on the ocean division of the O. R. &. Co. during the year ending Juneau, IBS 'A 35,705. Of these passengers, 13,619 more arrived in Portland than were taken away. During the year ending August 31, 1882, 289 vessels with aggregate tonnage of 411,091 arrived at Portland, and 283 vessels with a tonnage of 400.762 sailed from this port. The foreign exports of wheat were 2,864,289 centals, valued at 54,735,31. The foreign exports of flour were 373,387 brrrels, valued at $1,785,208. The receipts of flour by the O. R. & N. Co, were 197,624 barrels. The shipments of flour by the 0. R. tc N. Co. were 89,043 barrels. The number of buildings erected in the city was about 4UU, ac a cost ot i,ouu,uw. The transactions in real estate in Multno mah county amounted during the year to $5,266,258 13. Tho price of wheat delivered on the wharf ranged from $1 55 to $1 68 per cental. The salmon pack of 1882 aggregated oau.soi cases, worth in nrst bands, $2,813,510 30. The post-sffice in Portland was so efficiently conducted as to return a net profit to the government ot 530. 450 VZ lor the year ending June au, issz. The internal revenue paid in the State of uregon to tne general government during the same period amounted to ssy.wrc 17. The total assessed value of property of all Kinds in Multnomah county, less indebted ness, was $13,903,205. The benefits of the Board are universally acknowledged, and it has compiled much val uable information and statistics. Hon M. 0. George addressed tho Board, thanking the President for his kind mention, and paying a glowing tribute to the yet unde veloped resources of Oregon. His remarks were received with enthusiastic cheers. When the election of officers for tho ensu ing year was announced in order, the Board, upon motion, voted unanimously to retain the old officers during the second term. They are as follows : President, Donald Macleay; First Vice-President, C. H. Dodd; Second Vice- President, P. 0. Schuyler; Secretary, F. K. Arnold; Assistant-Secretary, B. I, Cohen, Training Horns. If it is desirable to straighten a horn, you may frequently scrape with a piece of glass, or a knife, the hollow side, which will cause it to grow faster on that side; but in that case it must not be scraped deeply, for then it be comes weaker on that side, and will be turned towards tho weaker ude. Some scrape the side towards which they wish to turn the horn quite thin, and then scrape the opposite side just enough to make it grow faster, and that will turn it towards the thinly scraped side. If you wish to turn a horn up, scrape on the under side just enough to make it grow faster on that side. A very barbarous way to turn a horn is sometimes practiced by searing with a hot iron on the side towards which the horn is to be turned. This prevents the growth of horn on that side, and the growth upon the other side turns the horn. The horns may lie polished oy rubbing them with fine sand-paper, and then with pumice stone, and oiling them. But this artificial manipu at ion of horns is seldom necessary. The horns of well-fed cattle will generally grow in comely shape if let alone. The hair is sometimes oiled to give it a glossy appearance, but the best gloss is put upon the hair by rich and appropriate feeding. Nature, under proper conditions, doca this work best. Ex. jfotk. The Check Rein. There has been much humanitarian senti mentalism of late with reference to discarding the check rein altogether, as an instrument of torturo to tho horse. In a quasi scientific comment, it is said that tho check rein works in opposition to the muscles and vertebra of the .ieck and withers, and that the evident relief of the horse when tho check is re moved, by his dropping tho head quite low to the ground, is evident proof of its decided cruelty. This proof is true in tho case of tho draft horse, and the horse devoted to slow work, including light-harness business, and coach hordes; but when applied to the swift road, and the swifter turf horse, it may bo en tirely deceptive. For instanco : Many fast horses aro heavier fore-handed than balanced action requires This is manifested in the constant forging of tho hind feet against tho front ones nt every Btcp. 1 no norso fore handed is so heavy that the fore limbs and feet cannot sustain tho weight of carcass nnd the momentum with sufficient celirityto keep out of the way of tho stroke of tho hind limbs. Tho result is, the disagreeable forging that mars the excellence of many capital road horse. If the check is drawn tighter, so that the head and neck aro raised higher, and the excess of forehanded weight is thereby thrown further back towards the coupling, then the fore feet and limbs are instantly re lieved of tlit-ir excess of burden, while tho hind ones are correspondingly taxed. By this simplo method, balance is restored to the body, forging is prevented, and the notion bo comes a greater pleasure, both to tho horso and to the driver. The restraint of tho check rein is more than compensated for by the as sistauco it renders to the horso when called upon for great speed. Oil Cake Meal for Horses. But very few know anything of the value of oil-cake meal for horses. Its use in fitting fine bred cattle has long been common, and its val ue fully appreciated. The same can bo said of swine, for no other feed will cauo a pig to gain anit put him in show condition so speed ily, ss oil-cake meal, giving him a glossiness of coat not obtainable so well in nnv other way. What oil c ike will do for cattle and pigs, it will do equally as well for horses. A horse appearing to be bound up, as this term is understood in the stable, can, by the uso of this feed, be relieved of this condition as promptly as by turning out to grass, involving none of the contingencies which attend the latter, tho full strength and vigor being main tained in the meantime. Nothing so quickly improves tho coat of the horse as the uso of a little oil cake incorporated with his feed, while turning out to grass in sun nnd rain fades nnd roughens the hair in a week's time. In addition to this, oil cake loosens the bow els, the degree to which this is done being en tirely under control, while the effect from a run on grass is largely a matter of chance. Stock Journal. Milking Qualities in the Beef Breeds of Cattle. Putting on one side all the advantages which have accrued to tho breeders of Short horn cattle by what in America is called tho "boom," which has helped the breed along, there is still the fact that when farmers want to rear their stock by hand, and make part of the return in dairy ptoduce, there has not yet been found the equal of the Short-horn for that purpose. Several breeds, under different circumstances, could be made into better beef, but they won't give milk at the same time; and several breeds, under similar circum stances, would give more milk, but they can't be made into good beef, and aro consequently useless to feed out when barren or to rear as steers. The Short-horn can be roared out of the pail, bred on arable land, will give a fair amount of good milk and can be fed easily in stall during winter into a salable carcass of second-rate beef. Now I want to know where another breed is to be found that "will do likewise, and do it as well. Tillamook. A correspondent writes as follows, concern ing Tillamook Bay, in the Ortgonian: We found, to our surprise, that the coasting steamer Ona, Charles Yarneberg, master, was making regular trips to Tillamook every two weeks, so we just stepped on board the craft, and in place of two days' travel by rail and stage over the Coast range, took a pleasant lit tle sea voyage of about seven hours, and were landed at Lincoln, some sixteen miles from the mouth of the bay. After crossing the bar, which was very smooth, we first landed at Garibaldi, at the mouth of the bay, to discharge some freight there. We fonnd a very pleassnt little village, the inhabitants busily engaged in catching salmon and salting them. We ran up the bsy about 1J miles and stopped at Lienenwebcr k Co. 'a cannery. There we saw salmon by the hundreds, and a ranncry in full blast. The company has quite a large storo of general merchandise with a good warehouse, wharves, etc, This company has exponded about $50, 000 at this point, and while there wo learned that a company had just bought grounds and intend building a large steam lumbering mill, which will be completed this fall. After discharging somo freight at this point we started for Lincoln, the county seat, and also at the head of navigation. This is about twelve miles distant from the last named place. We had a tory pleasant trip up the bay, which is a beautiful sheet of water, bounded on three sides with the most beauti ful mountain scenery. These mountains aro covered witli a dense forest of the finest lum bering timber. There are five rivers that put into this hay, tho months of which we passed in goitg up the bay, which abound in fiah.of various kinds. We arrived at Lincoln at noon. There we found a very flourishing little town, which seemed to be all alivo with business. Wo also had the pleasure ot seeing the Minnie Miller, a new steamer just built by G. W. Miller Sc Son, for the bay trade, mado her trial trip, which was a success. Everything presents a very different aspect to what it did one year ago. '1 here aro two steamers making regular trips oviry two eeks tho Ona and the Gen. Miles, and one schooner, the Alpha. Tb farmers seem to be busy and doing well, The land in this country is very rich, and the time is not far distant when the pro. duce of this county will be seen in large quan tities in our markets. Tho citizens of Lincoln and vicinity have raised money, and are at work clearing the snags and trees out of the river that leads up to Lincoln, and aro doing a good work, as our steamer found it much easier to get to that place this time, they hav ing deepened tho channel in many instances, aud removed all sunken snigs. Wo learned wbilo here that Mr. J. L. Story is fixing up incorporation papers for tl.e Forest Grove and Tillamook wagon road, which will bo soon in course of construction. This will give an eisy aud good mountain road into this valley, and so we find everything moving right along. In a short timo this is destined to bo one of tho richest vallcjs in the State, and we think men who aro coming into this valley and investing in'land, as many aro do ing, aro acting wisely. 00NQUER0R OF ALL KIDNEY DISEASES.
