Astoria, tue State of Oregon, and Washington Territory. Editor Astemax: I wish to state truths in the in terest of the producing classes: not in the shape of a general grunt against corporations or large amounts of inoney focalized for public improvements, for 1 am an advocate of hurrying up machine hhops, mills, factories, and all other improvements. Astoria has advantages as a sea- j port town over all others from 1 Sitka to San Diego. She is situ- j ated about fifteen miles from the ocean, with deep water from the i bar to the docks sufficiently deep to float the largest ships known to commerce, with a completely land locked harbor, with perfect anchor- age, and room for the Siaif of the t commerce of the world. tency, dr.tnkness or wilfulness, Five miles above Astoria, on the i and the man that says to the con Columbia river, i.s the noted "Hog's jtrary, simply tries to shield himself Back" that helps to make the Port-! or his friends. The tug service at land people get up their back; j which makes them want to send rionn 'Pliritrcrv.i Li1.- in Liin I F 111 !

Willamette rivers that are fast be-J coming each more formidable than the "Hog's Back," which, if dredged this year, will need the same thing done the next year j fore, which give more concentrated ! labor than anv other industry on this coast. "We have no tornado to destroy our piling lor wharves. Piling driven at Astoria will last indefinitely. Piling driren in Astoria twenty-five years ago is as sound to-day as when driven. The June freshets in the Columbia river kills barnacles and all other salt water insects, and that is the reason piling driven on Clatsop i spit will be an everlasting break- water: as much so as if made of . . .1 stone, and the cost of doing it a mere trifle for all time to come. Astoria is the place for grain , elerators. It is not now a ques tion which is the best way to han dle grain for the producer as well as the transportation company. The farmer can own two or three dozen of two bushel seamless cot- ton sacks, and can haul his grain to the nearest depot, railroad or j river in those sacks, and there the grain can go into an elevator. His sacks are put back into his wagon and he returns home for another load; and so on ad infinitum for ten eoa secutive harvests, and his first trifling outlay for sacks is all there is iii all that time for handling his grain to market. But farmer, how is it with you now? Until Yillard gets his roads down to Astoria you must expect to be under the ex pense of wear and tear of sacks and shortage on wheat and sacks, before your wheat ever reaches a ship. But you can soon begiu to see day. As soon as the railroad reaches Astoria then large jrrain elevators will be constructed ut Astoria, and at all your nearest depots, for shipment of grain. To j illustrate: When a car is loaded at Albany, Oregon City or "Walla "Walla in bulk the tram can travel day and night until it reaches deep water at Astoria, where the grain will go into an elevator to be ready to go on board of a proper wheat carrying ship, which should be a 5000 ton steamer, that will go with the constaut'increasesl shoal-! Government. It is evident that quest of an anxious pa n ent, wtlh'or your rest by a imck child suneringMiniys. ino- of both rivers.

Puget Sound cannot compete rrith the mouth of the Columbia river as a shipping point. Why? Because the Sound has no commu nication to the interior except by railroHds, when they are built, and then that road has impractical grades for heavy freighting. There are at this tfnie, and have been for thirty-three years, more vessels lost in the Sound and going to the Sound, from causes that cannot be removed, than there have been coming into the Columbia. There has not been one single itnr.K1 lu t lcx .-.utll nC till I W3V 1 imt il nio U1UULII -& wn- .
