OPPosTTIox TO TIE P. T. CoNPANT.--We learn
ed yesterday that il in contemplation by Mr..
Haan, lately Of Umatilla (and who vas II the en-
ploy Of the o. S. \. Company for upwards oil two
yearsl and others, 20 place line OF steamers on
the VI ilamette, in opposition to the p. 1 Compa-
n.y.. We made inquiry and learned that arrange
nlents were actively being perfected 20 carry out
the undertaking. The steamer Lewiston. very
light-draft boat, built by Mr. Perrins and anotA-
er gentleman 10 ply between Wallnla and Lewis
ton had been purchased and would be brought
down the Columbia and placed on the line be-
tween Portland and Oregon City. The engine
and machinery Of the Fannie Troup, 1.-THE elder)
which has been laid up at Vancouver for some
time, has also been purchased, and viii be over
hauled repaired and put into new boat to be
built above the falls at Oregon City. ar. Ii. has
just returned from Oak Point where he has been
to secure the - knees and other necessary tim
bers. A contract has partially been entered into
with the Willamette Iron Works for the manutae-
ture Of boiler for the new boat. ealso learned
that arrangements making for the transporta-
ton Of freight around the falls at Oregon City, and
that IS cents was the contract price. 4 trip aad
. half day will be made, leaving Portland IN the
morning, arriving at Oregon City early IN the
day, and departing for Portland, and then return
ing to Oregon City, where itWi remain over night
thus laying over at each place alternate nights
It is in contemplation toapurchase another boat
to ply between here and Oregon City. We merely
state the foregoing, without remarks, and will let
the reader judge for himself what the result viii
be. We can assure the public that such a man as
Mr. Haun exists, that he is enterprising man,
but what amount of capital he possesses We
know not. nor do We know, whether there Is
power behind the throne. 4 boiler is certainly
being made by the Willamette Iron Works for a
boat which it is alleged is to be built above the
falls at Oregon City. By waiting, We shall see
what we shall see.--PorttqHd Herald.
So it seems that there is fair prospect
that a line Of steamers will soon be placed
upon the Willamette, in opposition to the
P. 7. Company. We bid the enterprise
God d-speed. Our readers know how we
stand in relation to the oEergrown Monopoly
which the new line will oppose. We hope
every good citizen. of this, and all the ad-
joining counties, will -patronize the opposi-
zion line exclusively, uuder any and all cir
cumstances. The ?. 7. Company will prob
ably put freight down low-perhaps carry
passengers and freight for nothing but let
the public remember that they will adopt
this course, not because they love the peo.
pie at all, but to break down the new line,
and have it all their own way again. Make
new line. We are down on the p. 7. Com
pany, now and forever or, at least, until
they lower their charges very materially
The farmers and other citizens of this coun.
ty annually pay an enormous tribute to them,
and we gladly welcome any one who will
In good faith, run in opposition. Welcome
thrice welcome to the opposition line
