The Frice of Land In Oregon.
" We find in convers'iDs with uarties
from the Eastern States, who daily visit
oar office, that the present price at which
land is held in Oregon, ia above what
they ezpeetcd to find it when they started
to this country, and some think above
its real value. Now, we are not sbt
prised at this state of things. It is jttst
what we were expecting; it is the legiti
mate result of the system of over rating
everything connected with Oregon, whieh
has been practiced for the last few years
by parties interested in getting up a large
emigration to this country, that - they
might profit thereby, regardless of the
real interests of tk rmotry. 2Jen in tbo
Atlantic States have been led to Velieve
that our best lands couU be purchased
at from $5 to 815, per acre j that plenty
of government land could be obtained in
favorable localities upon government
notes. We have wen much riober - landt '
than is found in Oregon, bmt im ear trav-
from the St. Lawrence river ! th ,
acific flssftn we have never net with-
at produced a good cro with aa
much certainty, or with so small amoant '
of labor as in the Willamette valley. Go
into the great State ef New York and see-:
a man work all Sammer (a short one, it .
is true), pulKng pigeon grass out ef : th
corn hills of a ten acre lot, with his In-,
gers, then spriokling a spoonfal or tw
f plaster or bone dost around the little-
spires of corn, to enable them to get the
start of tbe Canada thistles, and ask him "
if he had land that would bring his 29
bushels of good wheat to the acre, of

less labor tbaa he bestows on his tea or ,
fifteen acres of eorn,' whether he would.
take $30 per acre for such land. Go to- '
the same man again in the month of Jan
uary or February, at the hour of aid-
night, when he is out in the barnyard
giving his cattle a little bay to indue
them to stir about to prevent them from
terms, all of whieh they find, when they
arrive here,' to be untrue; and is it freezing, aod ask him ifhe had a farm of
strange that "they become disgusted," as such land as above described, in a climate

Patronize Home Manulactiires t
our lands ?" We think not.
. But is it true that our lands in Ore
gon aro too high ? Is it not just possible
that these gentlemen, although disap
pointed in fiuding matters just as they
expected to find them, are yet mistaken
when they say our lands are now held
above their real value ? Let us look at
tbis matter calmly a few moments, and
Bee if this be really true. Improved lands
in Linn county are now held at from $4
to $30 per acre, as per location, quality
of lands, improvements, &c. Now take a
farm which we hold for sale at $30 per
acre, containing 392 acres. This farm
would cost $11,760. 200 acres of this
farm is in cultivation, the balance, 192
acres, in pasture, orchard, &c. Now let
a man purchase this farm, put the 200
acres in wheat, and suppose it yield, 20
bushels to the acre, he would have 4,000
khat season of the year, whether he would
hint $30 per acre, with good improve-
nents, was too much for it. ; Don't you
.hink he would say , no t . We guet he
vould. No, gentlemen, our laads are
ot too high, and had you not beea mis-
ed in this matter, hut had com t Ore
gon understanding just how laud was
ating here, you would probably have
en well satisfied. But you war duK
j pointed, and that was what disgusted
pu. It was not that you really thought,
tpon serious reflection, after fairly weighi
iig all the circumstances, that land . ia
Oregon is really held above its intrinsic
tilue. An intelligent farmer has just
ft our office, whonowraising his
ienth crop ia Oregon. He says that his "
tenth crop would average ovei 20 bush
jels per acre, and that he bought a farm at
? i aa . . ' s . 1
1 per acre ana paid tor it out ex me
bushels ; then suppose he sells at 75 cts 'products of the said farm in two years,.
and had a small margin leit. ue says
further that, with wheat at $1 per bushel
he can pay for any good, farm at t&0
per acre, in three years, out of tha prod-
ucts of the farm. " He is this year "raUT"

per bushel, he will realize $3,000 for
his crop, and in four years he will have
$12,000, or $240 more than the whole
farm cost him, saying nothing about. what
the orchard, pasture, dairy, chick ery,
garden,- &o., might yield obe:: tho fami
ly expenses. But add to this calcula
tion another year, and say that it takes
five years to pay for his farm, which is
clearly a safe calculation, and is this laod
too high at $30 per acre ? We think
not. It a man can buy a good $12,000
farm and make the money to pay for it in
five years, and have the farm left, greatly
enhanced in value at the end of five
years, it seems to us he ought to be satis
fied ; and there is no vague speculation
in this calculation the thing can be
done. This is not an extravagant calcu
lation, neither is this an extraordinary
farm. ; We have several such for sale,
that a man can purchase at the price de
manded, and pay for them out of the
proceeds of the farm, . in . three to five
years, provided he bus most of the re
quired labor within himself or under his
own control ; and if wheat was to re
main at its present price, he could hire
the work done -and we do not expect
ever to see wheat as low in Albany as it
has been in years past. We were then 1
dependent entirely upon the Willamette
river as our avenue to . market, and that
controlled by a monopoly, and always at
its lowest stage of water during the latter
part of summer and early fall, so that our
wheat must necessarily go to the garner
and remain locked up, while the other
sections of the country were taking the
cream of the market. But that day has
passed.' We now have the advantage of
both river and railroad. We can now
load from one side of our spacious mills or
i storehouses into a boat, or from the op
posite "ide into the cars, and in from four
to five days Cor wheat is in San Fran
cisco, or four OT five hundred miles out
on the Pacific ocean on its way to a for
eign market, and we are no longer living
in a "hole in the ground" and forced to
go to market when it suits the river to
rise or the P.T. Company to send us a
boat. But we now go when the market
calls for us, and it suits our convenience
to respond. No, out lands are not too
high ; they are worth every dollar that
we ask for them, and in five years from
to-day they will be worth from 25 to 50
per cent, more than they are now selling
at. Make a note of this, and mark the
result: We do not pretend to say that it
is the riehnesa of our soil that renders
our lands so valuable, hut it is the pe
culiar adaptability ot the climate and soil
to the growing of wheat, oats, Has, &o.,
and entire absence of deleterious influ
ence, all of which combined enable the
farmer to to oant upon bis crop with as
much certainty as a banker count upon
the punctual paymeut of hit weU secured
ing 300 acres of wheat, with the help of
two boys able to do about men's work,
and expects to hire a few days' work in
harvest that 300 acres of wheat will o
worth $6,000 at harvest, unless wheat
materially declines. Is his land worth
$30 per acre ? He thinks it is, and
thinks be is not mistaken. But there are
plenty of good farms for sale rn Oregon
for from ten to twenty dollars per acre ;
some of whieh might suit some mea as
well as the higher priced land j and there
are still lower priced lands, upon which
a good living could be made, wi& ae
half the labor expended upon lands : in
some of the Eastern ' States. Govern
ment land is about all absorbed in tha
Willamette valley, hut there are plaees
in Oregon where excellent locations for
stock raising, wool growing, &c, may be.
