In the early days the settlers in the
west encouraged and hailed the emigrant
because of the fact that he made one
more consumer for the products of the
nil. for which there was but a very lim
ited local market. In contrast with that
condition of affairs we find Oregon today
hailing and encouraging emmigration upon
very different grounds. More laborers
are required that the soil may yield its
full harvest and that the demands of far
away markets may be supplied. It has
been brot about by the transportation of
facilities which have entirely removed the
necessity of depending upon local markets
by making accessible to the farmers o
Oregon, the markets in every country on
the globe.

OREGON
It has always been che happy fortune
of the United States to have a border
population that was constantly uneasy to
reach a farther front' wilder land and a
freer life. Civilization crossed the conti
nent at a rapid pace, and Oregon was
conquered in about forty years. In all
the vast campaign from east to west
here is the most signal victory, the swift
est, the most complete, the most brilliant
achievment. The saving of Oregon to the
United States is an exceedingly painful
record in human annals. Among the
chapters of human tragedies, this is one
of the most tragic. For the United
States and Great Brittain to write and
sign the article that gave us Oregon, re
quired fifty-four years, two months and
six days. No two policies come more in
contradiction, one fostering ail tastes and
habits of the natives, and the other de
manding a total change in the modes and
grades of life. One policy was to propa
gate wilderness and beaver, and Indiar.s
and half-breeds to catch them; t le other
civilization is in its highest type and thn ft
On the one hand, it was beaver and Indians
and wilderness for a huge corporation.
and so many pounds sterling dividends;
on the other it was settlement, domestic
animals, civilization and national wealth.
The Erglish had their own way from
1670. when the fur company was char
tered, till 1834. when they met ourj
missionaries in the valley of the Columbia, i
This region, the original Oregon of the
treaty of 1846. is larger than there New
England, and in most respects for human ;
homes and national wealth, it is na'urally
superior to New England. There is
scarcely a grain, fruit, vegetable, grass,
tree, plant, or flower that grows in the
United States or in Europe, but some
portion of the soil of Oregon will raise to
perfection with fair cultivation.
After this the American girl who
marries a title must understand right at
the start that it will be useless for her
to expect any sympathy.
