But the ships are not owned in the State hence Oregon's loss on WHEAT is $23 per ton. The furnishers of Stave-bolts receive about $15 per cord, and the ship $10 per cord. The ships not being owned in Oregon $10 per cord on STAVE-BOLTS are lost to the State. So, also, with FISH and LUMBER, etc., ex ported from the Columbia river, the transpor tation of which is lost to the State. Ship Owners Wanted. To save thcselargc sums to the State of Ore gon. Ships are valuable, and this State pro duces the best of lumber, spars and iron, for SHIP BUILDING. if Ship ITai'&s "Wanted. On the Columbia river, to retain at home the expenses of ship building. To build vessels near the mills, where it can be done cheaply. An Independent Steamboat Co. Is Wanted on the Columbia river and tribu taries, to carry the products of Oregon to the sea board, where deep vessels may load with dispatch. J t is reported that tho Columbia and Wal lamct (river) Steamboat Companies have an understanding, a mutual agreement, to limit their routes and preserve a monopoly. The farmers on the upper Wallamet cannot get their grain carried to the ship awaiting cargo in the Columbia river without paying two or three companies, and having tho grain re handled before reaching the ships. The boat loaded at Salem should proceed directly to the ocean vessel in Astoria harbor, below all obstructions, but instead of this she stops 12 miles below the Summer mouth, and 30 miles from the Winter mouth of the Wallamet, and passes the grain, (wharf charged,) over to an other boat of different owners to carry to the Columbia river. Farmers; Citizens of Oregon; we appeal to yon! Look to this matter of transportation! See the large sum the State is continuously deprived of, by the extravagant method of shipping which benefits only the wharves at Portland, and cm iches the steamboat compa nies. It is this kind of business that enables shippers to give 'California farmers this year Thirty-one Cents per Bushel More than tho Oregon farmer receives for his wheat. Read, reflect, understand the facts, then act for yourselves. i$38 Newspapers friendly to the best inter ests of Oregon arc requested to copy. (Signed), MANY 0REG0N1ANS.. REGULAR ASTORIA PACKETS.
