Newspaper Page Texten t gaittj torau. ASTORIA, OREGON: THURSDAY.- .AUGUST 28. 18Si NO MONEY IN IT. Isom Launinff & Co., of the Ked Crown Flouring Mills Albany, have just bought 100,000 bushels of wheat at 60 cents per bushel. Most of the wheat was secured in Linn count'. Standard 27. A cekt a pound for wheat is not much encouragement to the "Willam ette valley or Eastern Oregon wheat raiser. Indeed it illustrates what The Astoriak has so often iterated and reiterated that the true policy of the Oregon farmer is to abandon wheat as a staple product and diver sify his crop. No man can do other wise than run behind at raising wheat to sell for sixty cenls a busheL The capital and labor that the har vested wheat requires could be put to far better use in the cultivation of mixed crops, and the land would be thereby enriched instead of becoming exhausted. "Whichever way "the Oregon wheat raiser turns he sees a depressed mar ket. In the East it would be but lit tle inducement for him to attempt to find a market, for the railroad com pany would charge him the difference between the price in Portland and in Chicago, for carrying it to the latter city. Across the sea the un fortunate conditions under which Columbia shipments are made preclude the possibility of profit Were the wheat shipped to Liver pool from Astoria, as it should be, and some day will be, the Oregon farmer would stand some show of getting something like a fair price for his wheat. The Albany miller is able to buy wheat there for a dollar a cen tal. The California wheat grower can get from $1.27 to SL33 a cental for no better au article. In writing of wheat, it must be taken into consid eration that its value throughout the world has not been so low for a pe riod of lime embracing more than a century. In 1781 wheat sold in Eng land for 40s Gd a quarter. It steadily in creased in value till in 1801 it was quo ted at the enormous price of 119s Gd a quarter. From 1781 to 18S1 it never sold below 4.0s, except one season 1851 when it touched 3Ss 6d. It is now selling in England for 37s 8d a quarter. The English quarter is 480 pounds, or eight bushels. In talking about a "quarter of wheat it may be considered as being 500 pounds, or five centals. As an English shilling is worth a fraction over 24 cents in our money, 37s 8d for a quarter of wheat would beabout7sG)d a cental or $1.03 a bushel. To carry a bushel of Oregon wheat from here to Liver pool at presont charter rates cost 3G cents, which would make the bushel of wheat arrived out cost the shipper 96 cents. The apparent margin of 12 cents would no more than pay insurance, interest and incidentals, which shows that unless the Oregon shipper figures on an advance he can't have much heart to buy wheat to ship to Liverpool, even though he buy it at sixty ceuts a bushel and send it across the sea at 47s. Gd. a ton. It is probable, however, that the Albany millers will put the 100,000 bushels in the more condensed form of flour, before sending it to Eng land. The Dalles Tiihes-Jfountaineer is informed "by a reliable person" that it is the intention of the Baker City branch of the Oregon Eailway & Nav igation road to extend it to a junc tion with the Oregon Short Line at a point near Snake river. A line has been surveyed running south of Mount Jefferson, thence through Wasco and Grant counties into Union count-. It is thought that the Or egon Short Line will seek an outlet on the coast by the route specified, now that the Northern Pacific has virtually secured control of the Ore gon Railway & Navigation Company's line and the last-named company con trols Burnt Pass. A numbeb of clerks in the Portland O. R. & N. Co.'s offices were dis charged Monday night, says the News, and it is possible more of them will go in a few days. The worst has not come yet, for it is reported that salaries of O. R. & N. employes will shortly be cut down ten per cent. By an act of the Oregon legisla ture the Oregon Pacific railroad was given exemption from taxes for twenty years, provided they completed their road by October 19, 1834. This time is rapidly approaching and there is a strong effort being made to com plete the road in time to save the ex emption. Nelson Bennett has been award ed the contract for the construction of twenty-five miles of road on the west end of the Cascade division of the Northern Pacific Railroad. The section to be constructed is from South Prairie to Green river. There were only three bidders, the Oregon Construction Company, C.B.Robin son and Bennett The cost of con struction will reach $600,000. An examination of Columbia river salmon statistics shows that from the inception of packing in 1866 to the close of the season in 18S4 (nineteen years), there have been packed 6,310, 658 cases, with a value of $34,450,000. This indicates the enormous amount of fish that has been canned from the Columbia river, and salmon can now be found in every market in the civi lized world. NEW TO-DAY. Sheriffs Sale.
