Eastkkn Oregon, at present, is the Mecca where nine-tenths of Oregon immigrants wander to.

Cot. First and C Sts., Portland. The Norton House, of which we give an illustration in this number, is situated on the corner of First and C streets and is owned and occupied by Mr. P. Norton. It is one of the neatest and best arranged hotels in this city, possessing all the modern improve ments and located near the railroad and steamboat landings, with street cars passing the house every five minutes, it is naturally a favorite stopping place for the traveling public. AN EXTENSIVE ESTAltMSMMENT. A VISIT TO THE LARGEST HOOK STORE IN OREGON. Perhaps no firm in this State is so often mentioned by the press, and yet so few people have any real idea what an extensive establishment J. K. Gill & Co.'s book and stationery house really is. Attracted by the magnificent lisplay in the two large plate glass windows fronting the store of this firm, we entered the salesroom and were at once taken in hand by the courteous proprietor and "shown through,' For the benefit of our readers vyc-have jot ted down a ftf-vactsr The salesrooms are elegantly fitted un with every kjurtvh improvement for the rapid transaction of business, and here the most bewildering array of books may he seen, from the diminutive toy book, which could be easily hid away under a silver halfdollar,to the pondrous and ele gantly bound family Itible. The firm makes all its importations direct from European andeastern publishing houses, and are therefore always in receipt of the very latest and at first hand prices. The blank book department i? in the rear, and here, also, the firm possess superior facilities, being in constant and direct communication with the largest manufacturers hi that line. They possess also the same advantage in line of gold pens, porteinonnaies fancy cut glass inkstands, etc. Occupying the center of the salesroom, arc long table where ill the latest cheap publication-., as well us newspapers and magazines, are stocked. Descending the elevator Into a roomy basement, we find, it tilled with case goods, such as inks, mucilage, and other heavy merchandise. Again as cending, we pass the salesroom and land on what is known as l the gallery," this is a department which has just been completed ami is really a continuation of the salesroom, being connected w ith it by an easy stairway. In the gallery ate kept the duplicates of what the salesroom contains, although the real wholesale department is still up another stairway leading to the story above. Here no one hook off kind or single dozen of any article is to be seen, Everything is by the gross ot one hun dred. The stock here is perfectly im mense, and we ventured to inquire, whether Oregon really used up so large a stock of books, stationery, porte monnaies, reticules and fancy goods in a year. This inquiry Mr. Gill met with a bland smile, and assured us that the entire stock is cleared, at least four times a year, no shelf-worn goods no old stock everything fresh ami clean. From the wholesale department a doorway leads into the Art gallery, consisting of a stock of brackets, pic tures, frames and decorating leaves. Here no article is retailed, it being es pecially designed to furnish country customers with holiday goods. It will really repay any one to spend an hour and inspect the many novelties on sale at this establishment, and country merchants can rest assured, that, for the first time in the history of Oregon, the book and stationery buyer may now purchase here on the same terms as in San Fransisco, J. K. Gill & Co. being always willing to duplicate any one's bill or price.
