We are of those who believe that Oregon is rich, in all that goes to make up a first class State, and that nil that'isTeauired, to usher in a degree of extreme prosperity the.pjacjngj CKl"SUS m u ijusiwuti iaj labors The closo upon, (if not 'm'6m than) forty huridred(thousand' Inwiels of'heaf of a tine grade,' beside oats, barley, etc. And yet the State i not .developed to a-, tenth part pfjts wheat l aising capacity There are 'wnet' 'lands bordering, andtribtltaVy'to the Columbia river, in Oregon ind W(bbincton,uni-' cient to produce annually, beyQn.ty-tiv5 1 minions ousneisj orenougn.w ioaa eiguir ihipbtoija thousandtons each working day of the year.

Trie'fjuestion then is' to so order bur conditions that .wheat s-hall be wdfth'as' much' at tide water in Oregon,, as it Is in uaiiiornm, ana weuien nave suincient stimulous to induce the opor-ing'up of all availible wheat land in the State, and" the consenuentpeqpleing of the State in a cor responding ratio. -J The question is now shall this be'ddner AVe maintain that it is a simple problem. AYestaitout with the statement that a cargo df wheat, fcay iii'ty thousand "bushels at Astoria, is worth as much afloat, as the same. quantity of wfyeat Is woith in San Fi-anci-co, afloat, for 'export to any maket south of the equa tor, or on the western shore of the Pacific oceau. That which is reouired is the pla'cing of the Oregon grain at Astoria, where the' larger elass of carriers can al ways c6mc,'and fjie givingtf hat infor mation to the vliip p wners of the1 world. 13ut we must break un the ' riresent ar rangement of dragging yes-ijelb over the mud-to 'Portland, and avoid the delays' incident thereto. The report says; The water, front of Astoria l vary in c fromaouarterof a mile to a mile in widtli aiibrds 'over -six miles of secure anchorage for the largest classed vessels', in from ix to twelve fathoms of water. !No storms have ret visited the -harbor that effected .any damage to shipping riding nt anchor- in the bay or, lying at the wharf.-- Should the deniands of commerce re 'quire about five consecutive miles of do'efc aer may" 'be cheaply constructed' from the, river' b!ink to the edge of the channel, 'piiiig being, nee'essary but ar -short dis tanceat any giyten point.

Or, to reduce .both to 5 per cent., the 3,000 ton ship will cany 'wheat to "Liverpool for over a third less than the 1,000 toil vessel; that is, 20 center against 45 cents per bushel. AqUI to this the cost as above figured, incidental to delays and'river expenses of 4 cents per bushel, audit gives a net gain of 20 cents per bushel in i'avor of Astoria as an ex porting harbor, and the employment of such vessels as- can safely cross the bar, over the present arrangement of Portland and small vessels. 'Twenty cents per bushel on the estimated crop of .the State for 1873, viz: 5,000,000 bushels, gives the snug little bum of $l;000,000that theJarm cr should have'for his labor. The 'above iigures are 4all4, substantially correct, .and teil their own story.
