ALBANY, OREGON, MAY 11, 1877".
AXSWh'RS TO COTtliESroXSEXTS.
A gentleman writing from Hampton',
Iowa; under date of April 24th, pro
pounds a number of questions with re
gard to this city, Linn conuty, etc.,
stating that a great number of citizens
of that section desire to emigrate to Or
egon, and therefore are anxious to ac
quire information as to the most desira
b'o location. We shall attempt to an
swer each question as propounded, very
briefly, however, as our space in limited.
Taking up the questious ir. rotation, the
first is :
. "lbany population, school? ,church
es, etc."
Albany has - a . population of over
3,000. We have a fine large College,
with a corps of able teachers ; three
good district school houses, employing a
number of first grade teachers, besides a
number ot private schools, aU of which
are well atteuded. We have seven
church edifices, to-wit : IJaptist, Pres
byterian (IT. P,), Congregational, Meth
odist, Episcopal, Evangelical and South
ern Meho4sT.''l Ee "Christiau Church
may erect an edifice during the Snni
iher. There is also the Young People's
Christian Association, which has rooms
iu a fine new brick, where meetings are
to be held regularly in the future.
"The price ot land improved and
unimproved."
Land varies in price according to
quality and location. Laud in the im
mediate vicinity of the city is held as
high, generally, as similarly situated
lands, in the Eastern States, say from
$25 to $50 per act e. We do not be
lieve there is any real good land in the
.Willamette Valley that can be bought
at Government prices. Prairie land
generally commands from $10 an acre
upwards, while heavily timbered lands
(generally rplendid wheat land when
cleared) can bo obtained at a lower fig
ure. There is no vacant land in the
Willamette Valley that is at all valua
ble now. The day for cheap land
has gone by in this valley ; and while
there are still numerous bargains to be
obtained in farming lauds, improved
and unimproved, tho prices asked for
the lands will appear large to Eastern
people generally. You can come here
and purchase land that will produce the
finest wheat, and other small grains, in
the world, the crops cevetjiail from any
cause whatever, but no grain land can
be purchased at Government prices.
"What kind of climate'?"
; Salubrious -neither extremely warm
nor xtremely coid. We have little or
, no dhow for sleighriding or ice on which
to skalo 'during the Winter in the val
ley. The Winter is generally more or
oss rainy, while Summer and Fall turns
out. the finest weather in the world it
can't be beat anywhere with just
fenough raiu to mature tho growing
crops.
"How is the fruit?"
Pretty well, thank you, especially ap
ples, in the production of which Oregon
stands at the top ot tho heap, the big
" red apples of Oregon taking the premi
I urn over the world. Pears, plums,
cherries, etc., are produced in unlimited
measure, and for size and flavor can not
be excelled anywhere. Peaches are not
a "dead sure thing" in the valley, but
grow and flourish in Southern and
Eastern Oregon. Grapes, currants,
gooseberries, strawberries, blackberries,
etc., are prudaced in abundance and of
the best quality ,
"What is the yield of wheat per acre?
Can corn be grown there ?"
The general average is probably 22
bushels per acre, although a good many
of our writers put it much higher.- It
is uo uncommon thing to hear of wheat-
fields 'lot fifty and one hundred acres
turniDg;oat 25 basbels per acre, while
30 to .45 bushels are often reported
Corn not only can be but is produced
here every .year, in small quantities.
However there are better countries for
the production of corn than the Wil.
lamctto Valley. -
"What are the wages of mechanics?"
Carpenters, $3 per day ; painters $2A;
plasterers,- $4 j masons, $5 ; farm hands
about SI per day. There is no better
country than Oregon lor the man with
small capital, while the mail with the
necessary muscle and will to labor, will
get ahead in time.
fTwo nations strictly bankrupt Lave
commenced a war in which failure ot
credit must bring defeat to either," is
the way the N, Y. Tribune comments
n the war now raging between Russia
and Tuskey Therefore it is that Has
ftia proposes to take Immediate measures
to "put down" those speculators who
p-opose to "shave" her money fifty per
ccut. ','''' '-- -'.:.-
THE WAR JX J A PAX.
Very little attention has been paid to
the rebellion in Japan which has been
raging for some time. One reason for
this is the Mikado has forbidden or dis
couraged the transmission of any news
with regard to the progress of the fight.
The insurgents occupy but a small por
tion of territory, yet after several months
the Government torcas have been una
ble to dislodge them. The greater por
tion of the country is quiet, yet there
seems to le an undercurrent ot dissatis
faction that may break out eventually
into open revolt. Larze numbers of
Government troops have been killed,
and the number ot wounded exceeds
the capacity of the army hospitals to
care for, and appeals have been made
for the organization of Volunteer Sani
tary. The Mikado may not be in dan
ger, but the situation causes a feeling of
uneasiness. Tho Mikado has inaugu
rated a liberal and enlightened policy
in Japan, and we should be sorry to see
him go to the wall. .
Tho Jacksonville Times reports unu
sual religions interest in that section,
many conversions to the various church
es being made. Last Sunday several
recruits to the Baptist church were im
mersed in Rogue river, near Thomas
Chavner's new 'bridge, in the presence
of a large assembly. Rev. M. A. Wil
liams also received a nnmbcr ot ladies
into his church a few days ago, while
other creeds report accessions to their
ranks.
II. K. S. Meyer, who committed sui
cide at Walla Walla a tew days since,
left this note : "I have no friends only
those who are hungry after my money,
and I have no more money. I am bet

bation bv simply letting them seek their

that this is written, that the respectable
members of society may not be duped and
unwillingly insulted. ISelah.
