The recent abuses of the pilotage
system ut the Columbia river bar has
greatly exasperated the merchants and
exporters of Portland. The outrage
ous neglect Of the shipping interests
by the pilots at the mouth Of the

to the Nrk lime Erwess:
Judging from present appearances
the area under Wheat in 1873 will

condition. rs may be seen by the in
Vulnerable horse tracks left In almost
every field, and now standing full O
