ALftKRT ENT.LR, CIKhNCE ENOLE. Admlnlstraton f iheEstate of Samuel 1. .ti i J . 4 . . ii, ... , Mlchlg n. Editor, Oregon City Courier; Can I interest you in a letter frotn Michigan ? It ie a much older state than Oregon, with the exception of the Northern part it is thickly settled, but that part al though the soil is not of the most invit ing character, is fast going into the hands of actual settlers. The upper peninsula is noted for its wealth of iron and copper; the lower peninsula for its coal and salt and its ex tensive agricultural resources. We have many fine educational institutions, the University of Michigan ranking first. We have fifteen eugar factories in the state, but we are short of help to grow enough beets to run them up to their full capacity. The Western border along Lake Michigan is called the fruit belt. Here most of the peaches and small fruits are grown for the markets, also apples, plums and pears. Fruit is grown to some extent all over the state, Our soil varies from a heavy clay and some h'rtk sand to a light sand; ot the latter we have plenty in all parts of the state but with cure most canbe made productive. Wheat, oats, corn and hay are the staple crops, alihouah the soil is well adapted to other grains as well as a variety of vegetables. Lumbering here is a thing of the past. The pine is near ly all cut and the html wood will soon be as scarce as thu pine, outside of the coal and roppt-r mining industry. The daysol making big foi tune in Michigan have gone by unlets it should be by means of Ibe sugar factories. There is some money for the farmers in e ugar beets could they net their help at a reasonable price. Boys and girls from 12 to 16 years old are paid from $1 to 1.50 per day in the beet culture and wages on the farm ranges from $18 to $22 per month. Grain, hay and meats are about the same price as in Oregon; butter and eggs are 4 to C cents lower. Our winters are long with generally two months of surging cold weather, but of late years very little snow falls. We always ex pect from four to six weeks of rain mix ed with snow in the fall, and the spring opens up with about the same kind of weather for about the same length of time. Our summers are usualy hot and often very dry, last summer being a rare exception. I am very much interested in Oregon, having a sister, Mrs. W. 0, Williams, a native of Michigan, residing near your city. I am always pleased to learn of everything favoring the prosperity of your beautiful city that appears to me strong, healthy, vigorous and growing. I beliet e the Willamette valley to be a very grand region ol country and one of the most fertile spots to be found in any part of our broad land. Besides Oregon lias within her border! a very large area af agricultural land that is of almost wonderful fertility and productiveness. My information comes from men of character that have traveled in Oregon. The state is well located for commerce. I beleive there is a great amount of wealth stored in those ranges of iiioun- tains that energy and enterprise will in time reveal would say with all the re sources now in si'ht there is a grand future in waiting, for Oregon, I would say to the good people of the state never part tvitn your bomes to locate in a sec tiogs of country you believe to be more favored, not even Michigan, and should any ol my neighbors or friends that have a desire to change their location, oy leaving Michigan and there are many that do, from what i have learned. I have been getting a few Oregon papers of late, I find their editors up-to-date, rhey are helping to deelop the resources of the state. They are helping the towns and cities where their papers are published and show a lite ary tal ent equal to any in the country. I read the advertisements of your business men with ink-rest. They all seem to to have a good budineus intellect. Judg ing trum the moral and intellectual diameter of the people and the natural reources of the country, I believe that the fuiute propects of Oregon is most ndtteiu.g. Yours Truly, 3. W. i'BI.TON. The Benefit of Chargi. We are like house plants: We need a chanvHol soil now and then tube replant, ed. New scene, ne experiences, new Hmounilings a change of climate, dry air instead of moisture, sunshint in place of cloud. This Is sometimes es sential to health. There are condition! near at h nd that are better than Europe can offer. Take a month or two in Cali fornia. Plant yourself for a time where there are no irritations, where the hotel is beyond criticism, the landscape pleas ing, where warm sunny weather invites to walks and drives. Pure and dry air, and the lncreaseased electric influences of sunshiae are vastly helpful. You can make this trip at very little expense, and enjoy a ride over the scen ic Siskiyou and Shasta mountains, which, at this time of the year with their snow covered peaks, are, surpassed for their grandeur.
