The oheap home teekera' rates on
all railroads terminating in the west
went into effect on March 1, and the
flood of immigration into Oregon has
commenced. No. 1 was run ia two
sections yesU-rduy morning. On the
first seotion were 15 immigrant oars
all filled with people seeking homes io
Oregon. Some half drzea got off at
tbia point and will took over Grande
Ronde Valley. On the second section
were about 10 cars of home seekers,
and a number from this train also
stopped off in La Grande.
Oregon )ust now is the Mecca of
the rent laden farmers of the older
slates of the East who are endeavor
ing to better their condition.
The yonoii men (or whom there
seems to be uo opening in the over
crowded East are also looking to Ore
gon and other western states, for a
place in whioh to establish themselves
in business and the professions
Almost every dav will witness the
arrival of those who are ready to giasp
at opportunities and waut to estab
lish permanent homes, aud there is
no reason why La Grande oannot get
her share of tbe influx of borne build
ers.
But La Grande baa a part to per
form. Tbe city should bo made at
tractive. First impressions are often
lasting and the hnmeseeker should
be made to feel as soon as be gets off
the traiu that "Here is tbe plaie I
have been looking for."
