The Fairview Grange recommeuds Building a Steamer for
the Tillamook Shipping Trade.
This is a resolution passed at the Fairview Grange last week :
“Resolved, that we believe it to be for the best interest of the farmers
and merchants of this county, from Nestucca to Nehalem, to form a stock
company to build, own and run a steamboat to carry our freight out and
in. We would like to havean expression of the people of the county through
our county papers in regard to this subject. By agitating the freight ques
tion we will get at the sentiment of the community.”
