ASTORIA, OREGON:

SATURDAY Sept. 27, 1S73
CROPS ABROAD.
The harvests in Europe are gener
ally deficient. From a most trust
worthy authority, the Mark Lane
Express, Ave have " more unfavor
able reports as to wheat in England,"
which in many localities is not equal
even to the very poor yield last year,
and there are strong hints as to the
danger of sprouting in the shock
from the present occasional showers.
In Prance storms have done much
damage, and a deficiency of at least
ten to twelve per cent, 'may be
relied upon. There are accounts of
increased prices at many local sta
tions, and in Paris flour has consid
erably advanced. Old wheat has to
tally disappeared from the market,
and new is supplying its- place at
higher prices. Rye an extensive
bread crop in France, Belgium, Hol
land aud Germany, is reckoned as
very deficient and rates are rising.
In Hungary the condition of the
crops have been greatty overrated,
and the prevalence of cholera inter
fered with the work of harvesting.
In German' only an ordinary yield
is liQped for. The Express sums up
the situation abroad by saying that
" with a deficient crop, exhausted
stock, and but generally moderate
prospects in Europe, low prices seem
almost impossible next season." This
well informed journal is the organ
of the grain dealers and millers and
its judgment, if biased in any degree,
would naturally lean to the interests
of the purchaser. It may therefore
be very satisfactory- concluded that
as sellers we may take its prognosti
cations as pretty certain to be ful
filled. "We read further, touching
the foreign outlook, that the Interna
tional Corn and Seed League, recent
ly held in Vienna, with an attendance
of 1,500 xersons formed an estimate
that the Aus'ro Hungarian Empire
will exhibit less power of export than
usual say only to the extent of S00,
(100 quarters in wheat and 1,100,000
quarters in barley, whereas in a fa
vorable season Hungary alone has
over that amount.
LTon. S. I. Kimball, Capt. Fauncc
and Capt. J. "V. White of the United
States Revenue Jlarine service, who
have been in this vicinity since
Tuesday, Avith the view of making
investigations and observations for
the purpose of establishing life-saving
stations and a revenue steamer at
the mouth of the Columbia river,
leave to-day for Puget Sound. On
Thursday the steamer Varuna was
chartered for the purpose of making
the trip to Point Adams, Fort Stevens
and Cape Disappointment. They
were met here by Senator Kelly, who
with several citizens, including Gen.
John Adair, S. X Arrigoni, and A.
Van Dnsen accompanied them. After
making an inspection of the places
above mentioned they proceeded to
Knappton to view the extensive
works there, and spent the following
day in Astoria. They have had a
most delightful time to make this
trip, and we are informed incident
ally that Mr. Kimball, on reaching
Puget Sound, will telegraph to the
lion. Secretary of the Treasury rec
ommending that an appropriation be
, asked for at the next session of Con
gress to provide two life-saving sta
tions, one at Cape Disappointment
and one at Point Adams, and a rev
enue steamer. He has convince him
self of the importance of this point,
by facts obtained from the records
kept here, and comparisons of the
increase of business the past few
years of our growing commercial
prosperity. "When this report is sub
mitted, and the Secretary of "the
Treasury recommends that the ap
propriation be made, Congress will
see the necessity of voting the amount
-asked for" and the stations and steam
er will be established. .,

TILIiAaiOOK B.1&V
A Steamer Wanted fox Regular
Business.
Recently we had a very interest
ing interview with a gentleman from ,
Tillamook Bay, and it seems strange j
that such a large body of valuable 1
land as is there should so long escape i
Xmoiic nonce, immigrants coming
to Oregon in search of lands for farm
ing purposes, can find any amount of
good bottom lands in Tillamook coun
ty. There are four principal streams
putting into the bay, on any of which
there is room for a good man'- claims.
Up to within a few years Tillamook
county has been of but very little
consequence to the outside world,
or persons living there made but lit
tle or no pretentions to producing,
mdre than they would themselves
consume, for the simple reason that
they were never furnished with reli
able transportation for anything they
might produce. The length of time
consumed in making a trip with the
little schooners employed discour
aged a great many from raising any
thing for the market, but there is en
terprise in the countr, and if some
thorough going company or individ
ual were to build and put on that
trade an active little steamer of
about 150 tons burthen, we believe
the investment would pay well, not
only to the owner, but by develop
ing the recourccs of the county.
Alake this steamer a regular trading
craft at the first, and when the farm
ers and storekeepers of the bay could
not load her, let the owners or mas
ter purchase a cargo of articles most
in demand and return with things as
the people need.
This is the view taken by- the in
habitants of Tillamoek: county who
are very anxious to show their hand.
We have seen that no better butter,
cheese or vegetables, comes from
any section of Oregon than we get
from Tillamook county, and they can
raise fruit and grain of all kinds in
abundance. The people are anxious
to see a live steamboat man.
There arc now permanently loca
ted in Tillamook county about 420
persons and double the number
could find claims along the river bot
toms on good rich arable prairie and
timber tracts.
In the line of improvements in
Tillamook county during the past
year a new town has sprung up at
Kilchis Point, which promises to out
rival Lincoln, the oldest village on
the bay. This new place has a large
sawT mill recently put into operation
by V. T. Baxter, and our inform
ant states that the mill is situated
convenient to one of the finest bodies
of spruce timber that ever grew, be
sides which there are large forests of
alder and maple, and it is his opinion
that lumber, at present prices, could
be shipped to this maket at living
profits. The village of Lincoln has
two stores one occupied by Alr.Hutch
ings and the other by G. TV. Miller,
at either of which supplies of any
article that the people have to depend
upon stores for may be obtained.
"We have often referred to the
beauties and health giving qualities
of Tillamook county, especially about
the bay which abounds in finest
kind offish, clams, etc., and game in
the mountains. And in response to
the wishes of the people of that re
gion we will say that if some person
who has the requisite capital and en
terprise jto put a steamer on this
route will make a flying trip to the
bay, he can readily see for himself
the advantages here referred to.
There are two channels the entire
length of the bay, with sufficient
depth of water to float a vessel draw
ing 1G feet at low tide. Two In
dian pilots, "Tom" and "Jim," are
now trusted with the direction of
vessels in and out, at small charges.
It is hoped some person wTill look in
to this matter of a steamer for the
Tillamook trade.
