Southern Oregon. TUK PKOPLK CLIMATE, RESOURCES ETC.,' Editor Ekterpuise: I would era e th privilege of a little space in die columns of your valuable paper to an swer the many inquiries touching Southern Oregon. This section of country that is to Bay, that part of the coast drained by the Umpqua, the Coot, the Coquille and the Roijue riven is but little known, and teems to attra:t the attention at present of prospective emigrants. The topography of this country is diversified by mountains, hills and val leys. The country is sparcely inhabi ted, the towns small, and the settle ments have poor inter communication, requiring often a change of convey ance by land or water in going a dis tance of twenty miles. During the years that uatitornia ana norwiern Oregon have moved in the race of progress with giant strides, Southern Oregon has crept, infant-like, without having tried or cared to assume the firm and erect tearing of manhood. When wo come to inquire into the causes of this apparent apathy we shall see nothing that will surprise, but on the contrary, it will appear as natural as placid waters in a still at mosphere. For, many long years the settler of the wilderness has been iso lated from the rest of mankind. Oceans, inaccessible rivers and im passable mountain barriers have made him contemp'ate his situation with upine indifference, and to consider the effort to make things otherwise than they are far greater than the question able benefits he might reap from a more advanced state of civilization. Social, political, educational questions don't trouble him in the least. They are thincs that have a name and their name is vanity. Of far greater importance to him is whether Satur day or Sunday should be hallowed, whelher baptism by sprinkling or im mersion is the acceptable thing, w he til er the Code or the Bible shculd be the - law of the land. In his domestic conomy he is a patriarch. He loves Lis wife and hjs children; these are the world to him; and, when they dip. he peoples heaven with them. An honest manj will not contract a debt which he has reason to believe he cannot pay. He will not ask for credit with dis honest intentions. Surrounded as he is by immense resources for the accu mulation of wealth, he limits his ex ertions to the tilling of a few acres; keeps two or three cows and their in crease; a dozen hens; some hogs. I said "keep" no, they run wild in the woods; ho looks for them with his gun when they are wanted, and exchanges the carcass for such commodities as he may need at -the village store. But the day is dawning when all this will be a thing of the past. Al ready the newly arrived immigrant is usurping the territory of the earlier settler. Land is being cleared; saw mills and shipyards are to be met with at convenient points; towns are laid out to accommodate 50,000 inhabitants; railroads are talked of one is survey ed; river bars are receiving Govern Kent appropriations, and San Fran cisco capitalists are building steamers of light draught in order to secure the traffic of this vast region. The land is of two distinct kinds the hill land and the river bo" torn. The hill land bears a growth of the finest timber in the world. Timber is inexhaustible. A quarter section will show many million feet of timber in the tree. Much of this timber is ac cessible by waterway to the mill. It is ot the most valuable kinds. There is the fir, commonly called "Oregon pine," which for ship-building has no equal. It is strong, fres from knots and dur able. There is the cedar (white and red), good for house building; also pruce. This land, when cleared, is w6rthless for agricultural purpose. The stumps nearly cover the ground, and, where the forest monarchs have fallen by reason of old age, and tow ering stature, they have upturned mouuds of earth that make the surface bs uneven as the ruins of an ancient city. The soil, however, can be made productive by a high state of cultiva tion, but this is not thought worth the labor at present. The river bottoms are well adapted to general farming. They aro com paratively easily cleared. Here we ee a growth of vine maple, ash and myrtle. "When cleared and ditch drains cut through it is the most pro ductive land I have ever seen. It is not even surpassed by the Missouri bottoms. For grass it beats the world. White clover and red top are indigen ous. It will yield forty bushels and upwards to the acre. As to potatoes I dare not name the figure. Beef and mutton are equal in flavor to that of England. It is the habitat of poultry hens, if fid, will lay all the year round. Ducks and j;eese, of the do mestic breeds, are right at home here. As for fruit, iu good aeusnns, it can be had, the buyer picking it, at a nomi nal price, The climate of this section of Ore gon resembles that of the whole north ern coait it is healthful. Epidemics are unknown. The prevalent moist ure, however, is not favorable to per sons subject to rheumatism or paraly sis. It rains a good deal in Winter, but not so muck-as is popularly be; lieved. It is a warm and sti 1 rain, and the number of sun shiny days in Winter exceed the number of rainy days. In my opinion, Summer is more unpleasant than -Winter. The sun frum May to October is never seen in the eastern horizon. It rises jnvari ably in a fog. which is only dispelled by the sea breeze four hours after sunrise. Then the sky assumes a se rene blue, and the atmosphere is fresh, cool and invigorating. To those of mr friends asking the question, "Shall I go therel-' I can only answer according to my knowl edge ot their mean?; their occupation and their temperament. To the miner, I would say, if you hare a job, stick to it, for not everywhere on this mundane jplicre will you find the wages' for la bor that you do on the old Comstock lode. The wages for labor in South ern Oregon are low compared with the Comstock standard. Coal miners get $1 12 per ton extracted most of the coal mines are shut down at present. Mill hands get $2 to 2 50 per diem, and board themselves "board is worth $15 per month. Loggers at logging camps get from $50 to 70 per month and board. Shipwrights get 3 per day. A mechanic's day is ten hours, all others eleven hours. For farm hands their is neither supply nor'de mand. To the merchant I would say: If you are doing well enough here bo con tented with that. Mercantile business is overdone everywhere. It is a mania of the period for a man with $2,000 or 53,000 capital to rush into merchandising. Better, by far, to go into stock, wheat, wool or butter mak ing, for of these commodities one can never glut the market. The river bot tom lands alluded to above, unim proved, can be purchased of second hands at from 5 to 20 per acre, and tracts can yet be found subject to homestead entry. Rising with the lark and by hard work and hard tack one can, in a few years, tnakn himself a competence. To the professional man let me say that he should, in his trigrations, be governed by the amount of brain he posseses. Great money centers re quire brain, and can pay for it. This part of Oregon has but little money. Nevertheless, a modicum of talent can make a living just that and nothing more. Respectfully, Webfoot.
