COMMENCEMENT RAY t Is described in the directory for the Coast Survey of the IT. S. as follows : "The general direction of the bay 13 E. by S.S., with a length of three or f jur miles, a width of two miles, and a great depth of water up to the line of the extensive mud flat at its head, which is backed by marsh. It was named by Vancouver in 1792, who thought it the entrance to some ex tensive arm of the inlet, on account of the low country beyond. The har bor is very well protected, but the water is so deep that it may be term ed in justice, the poorest harbor on the Sound, But the influence of the 'land ring" is all-powerful, and se cured the location on account of land interests. , Now, the question comes home to every Oregonian, what is likely to be the result of this terminus location, ou the commerce and prosperity of "our State ? "While we have no desire to be styled a croaker or faultfinder, we must utter our convictions, and idve the cou rse of reasoning leading thereto. The grand Columbia rolls on to the ocean, passing in its course our im mediate border and giving an outlet to all our surplus, and a free highway to all nations. It is the line policy of every State to cultivate direct inter course with all( peoples, and to hold. the point of exchange within its own 1 -borders, if practicable. Suppose the " exports of a State are two million dol lars annually, the disbursements from the shipping required to move that amount, are equal to about fifteen per cent of the gross sum, at the port of departure. This per ccntage, finds its ;wav into all the avenues of trade and busines, and builds up the State. The opening of Railroad communica tion between the Columbia river aiid Juget Sound means Vie divergence of 'this'largc interest from Oregonports "to the ports of Puget Sound. How is thisto be accomplished?" 'All admit that large vessels can move freight on long voyages at a much less rate than smaller ones. It is pro-' "posed to carry wheat and other Ofe- jgon products from Kalama to Tacoma for one dollar and xi half per ton, (less than one half its real cost) in; order to secure the carrying trade in large ships from Puget Sound, thus building up a commercial city at our expense. This explains the selection of a point so far south on the sound for the first cutting of salt water. 'The real cost of transportation on wheat per rail frpm Portland to .Ta coma, with complete connections, will be about fifteen cents per bushel, but in Order to divert the trade, aha while the local business of the road is so limited, the Company will reduce rates to the figure named above, that i, $1.50 per ton. Estimating the dif ference in carriage by large and small vessels, at seventeen cents per bushel and deducting 4 cents for railroad freight, there is remaining 12 cents per bushel in favor of Tacoma as against Portland. This is no. doubt the view of the railroad builders, and .'this the resuit they hope to attain ! Witt Oregonmibmit to it f We-hv the Oregon, crops as cheaply, there from, as from Tacoma or Puget Sound. Ttesponsible parties stand ready to enter into a co'n tract to move the entire grain 'crop of 'Oregon from Portland to Astoria" for one dollar per ton, or three cents per bushel. Then we have our grain at the "sea-side for a less cost than it can be placedrat uthe Terminus11 j and Oregon Teaps the benefit of the disbursement' from shipping. Let us hot be deceived by the plausibilities of railroad build ers but look the gift horse in the mouth, and then reject it as a. burd en, rather than accept it as a mark of kindly friendship. Portland has greater interests at stake in this movement than we on the lower Columbia, and the produc ing classes more than either. Then let us work not as strangers and enemies but as intelligent fellow citi zens, and by this means Oregon's com merce centers in the Columbia river. niIIGKATIOX.

Immigration to -the United States, instead of diminishingi is rapidly in creasing, and this- year promises to be unusally large so mucli so that much feeling is exhibited on the part of the countries from which the ac cession to our population comes. They may -as well reconcile themselves, for opposition -will only tend to has ten and give force to fche tide which Jias set in. Nine thousand arrived last week, making, according to cor rect statistics; 141,866 since January 1, 1873. It is estimated that the total im migration to America for the present year will amount to 400,000 souls. These immigrants are, mostly .Gei man and Irish, the number of these nationalities being about equally di Tided. Then, there is a large per centage of Swedes and Norwegians. The others are of almost every na tionality. Nine-tenths of these im migrants, immediately on arriving, set out for the West, wliere they are soon in possession of good, comforta ble homes, and w'here there is room for millions of the same sort. It will be-seen from the above exhibit that the emigration from the shores of Europe is such as to command consid erable attention and interest; then why should not Oregon avail herself of so admirable an opportunity to populate her Vaqant lands and thus add to her 'wealth and prosperity? We liave men of capital who, if they have the enterprise, cannokbe ignor ant of the benefits which they would themselves derive by encouraging immigration. To do this it is only necessary to establish a Board of Im migration, composed of live, energet ic jnen, secure a reduction of fare for immigrants from the Atlantic ports to Astoria that men of moderate means may be enabled to reach our State, and the result will be all that can be desired. But we can hardly expect it. . The cost of bringing his iamily here would secure Jor the im migrant a home in the Great West, and there1 he must needs stop, while we must content ourselves with the ".Heathen Chinee." ) .
