"We are happy to greet the Oregon Gkaxgek, a neatly printed, well filled, forty-column weekly sheet, hailing irom Albany Oregon, the center of the grain producing ami of this partly developed region. Its fin-t appearance, under the careful editorial management of Mr. A. S. fiercer, gives token of the new era now so auspiciously dawning over Oregon. "We can bay nothing that will introduce lie Granger to the favorable notice of our readers better than the following, cull ed from its pages : SALUTATORY. In this the first issue of the Oregon Granger, in accordance with long estab lished custom, will be expected an intro ductory article. "We might say a good deal in the way of promises for the future, and incentives of the present. Hut in our shoit but somewhat varied experience, results have always been the guide to criticism, and upon these rise ana fall the barometer of public opinion. Therefore to the contents of our paper we refer all for the pledge they seek, only guaranteing fidelity to the following causes: 1st. In ternal improvement in its fullest meaning. : 2d. Home manufactures. Hd. Unity : and concentration of labor. 4th. A full j-bowing up of the resources of the State, and encouragement of an industrious em igration. The Granger will be the working man's friend, under all circumstance.-, and against all combination. The accomplihedment of favorable results in these several departments being our aim, we enter cheerfully upon the work, be lieving that in pioportion to our merits will be meted out the j list rewards of suc cessful labor. "WHY WE LOCATED IN ALBANY. A newspaper devoted to the promotion of agriculture and the mechanic arts nat urally seeks a location where ready com munication can be had with those engaged in such pursuits. Linn county is in the fullest meaning of the term, an Agricultural County. There is larger per centage of iarming land in this, than iu any other county in the State, and a greater number of farmers' in a given area. The resources of this county, from an ag ricultural point alone, are suflicient to sustain and build up a business center at Albany, of no small importance. But when we call to mind the fact of its cen tral location, commanding largely the trade of several adjoining counties, the combined railroad and steamboat transportation facilities, the magnificent water power at hand and so easily con trolled, we can but admit that right hore on the banks of the beautiful "YVallamet, at no distant day, will rise the busy mart of exchange, and the man ufacturing center for such implements as are required in the cultivation of the soil. No point in the State offers greater induce ments to the mechanic or manufacturer Of small means, and we feel assured that such opportunitias will soon be embraced. IIOME MANUFACTURES. Oregon should be a Manufacturing State The reasons why are obvious. Her great distance for all the manufacturing centers, places a heavy tax in the way of transpor tation upon all wares imported. Again, for the same reason, the time consumed in transit runs up a large inter-r-t account, and percentage of exchange. She has unlimited and available water power, as well as cheap and abundant j'uel for steam purposes. Her capacity for varied productions of raw material in be yond question. The diversity of trade, and emplojTment of home labor not only :etaiiis the ciiculating medium at home, but creates a home market for all the Lome products of the State. "We have no means of determining the exact amount of money sent out or the btate annually, lor such things as we could, with little effort, make at home, but no one will doubt the statement that the aggregate w millions. In mler to show the full importance of home manufactures to the State, we pro-po.-to publish a series of article?, giving as nearly as may be, n correct statement of the import of all the leading articles consumed in the State. To thi end we invite correspofidene from all parts of the State, giving detailed accounts of the fa cilities for particular manufacturing enter prises. BOOTS AND RIIOES. There are one hundred thousand persons who drar their supplies by way of the Columbia river. A low average consump tion would be, say ten dollars for boots :ind shoe alone. Oregon produces nearly or quite, hides enough to supply all this demand for manufactured leather, but instead of tanning, currying and working up into iorm for wear, they are shipped to San Francisco, thence to New York, and f om there into the. tan-bark region of the "nterior, to be made ready for shipment to B -ston, where they or made into boots and shoes, and rehired to us for sale. Then ,ve pay freight eight thousand miles, and i isu a ice tor twelve months, and eastern ribor for manufacturing, besides from four to six prolits, or commissions on the money invested. And all this when we have the finest quality of tan bark in endless quantity, and every needful facility for making leather cheap, and of the best kind. The coat counties of the State are one vast wilderness of hemlock, and no where can be found a more inviting field for enter prise than here, in the building up of the tanning interest. The coast hemlock is of a very suprior quality, so much so that the leather made at Astoria has acquired a reputation iu the e&et, &ud tfottou is win wsftbt 0?-'jrmnmmAiidii'Vwmiiom ' .'4cr ' consumer. Let men of means look care fully after this interest, and check the outporing of our coin. OUR BRUSn LANDS. There are thousands of acres of -brush land in Oregon, that are lying idle, not even producing pasturage that will pay handsomely for clearing and cultivating. A few days since in conversation with a party living near Ilubbard station, Mar ion county, we were informed of a case in point. Fifteen acres of fir brush land, cleared by contract, ana seeaea to wheat without plowing, simply "brushing," yielded a crop that paid for clearing, seed ing and harvesting, and gave a net profit I of six dollars per acre. As long as we have such records before us, and thousands of acres of similar brush lands m the foot hills at merely nominal rate, let us not fail to encourage the industrious seeker of i homes to come among us. LET US IIAYE HATS. Seldom, indeed, are the people of Oregon called upon to pray for rain. 13ut at this time the universal cry in Polk and Benton counties, and several other localities, is, "let us have rain." The ground is in pretty fair condition to plow, but there is no water in the "Wallamet for Steam boating purposes, and the warehouses on its margin still groan with their burden of wheat. But the worst groan escapes from the owners thereof, who arc rich in grain, but poor in twenty dollars pieces. A good rain will flood the country with coin, uu. less wheat declines. Give us rain. RIYER TRANSPORTATION. Rrdical changes are imminent. J. D. Biles, of the Oregon Steamship Co., was in this city a few days since, arranging for wheat freights as aoon as the river raises, and Col. Joseph Teal "is here to look after the interest of the "W. R.T. Co. Col. T. informs us that the new boat his Company are building, is intended to run direct to Astoria, from points on the Upper TTallamef. This boat will be ready for service in about twenty days. Iler capac ity is 400 tons. She will take on bay 250 tons at Albany or Corvallis, and after reaching Poitland, tranfer from their Yamhill boat 150 tons, and proceed to Astoria with the full load of 400 tons. This arrangement begins to look as if Oregon farmers were on the right track. God speed the day that brings slack-water navigation from the Columbia river to Eugene City. Then will Oregon be her self. That da' i nearer by, "than many suppose. , Church Xollees, Grace Church, (Prot. Episcopal) Rev.
