T'VAUi.T.See'y. For Hie Oregon Spectator. " Onr story in good until another is told." Mil. Kditoii I discover in your worthy little pnpor, tho Spectator, some complaints in regard to tho price of wheat, goods, &c. ; and the idea of a man wanting a pair of pantaloons with only one leg, nounds rather qunre. Now, Mr. I'Mitor, what is the true .state of affair in Oregon, as it regards prices, produce, &c. 7 Why, Sir, just about so, so far as my knowledge goes. I notice that the man who grows wheat in Oregon is well provided with every thing comfortable ; ho has plenty of good clothes, a barn well stored with grain, and good credit ; and a bout his farm you will sec cows, horses, ox- en, lings, and himself attending to his busi ness, probably whistling Yankee Doodle, or hamming over some tune that will lead you to belinvo that he is happy, or that his mind is employed. He has but little to say about politics, and is glad he came to Oregon, and says never was r. new country o blessed as this ; a man can have, and docs have means, who will work, and work or no work, ho has good health. Now, Mr. Editor, there ure others who havo not been long here, what is their situulion ? Why, Sir, they are on their claims, hard at work, in good spirits. If he is a?i industrious man, and his neigh, bors know it, if he has no means, they step forward and offer to him nil he requires, or more than he expected, to go on with his work ; and must we leave out the merchants in this country ? no sir, without wc wish to state what is not so. But lately, it is not such a common thing to give credit as formerly, but even at this time there is more of it giv. en than in any part of the States that 1 am acquainted with. It is with much regret that I hear so much complaint about the merchant, particularly by those who have but little or nothing to soil, and likely to, after receiving a pretty Inrge credit. I came to this country before any of the merchants commenced business, save the Hudson's Bay Company, and have dealt with all mora or loss. I do not hesitate in saying that, to. gcther, they have trusted out to the people of Oregon one hundred thousand dollars, and that, too, boforo there was any way to col. lect the same by law, but took our word for our several accounts, until such time as we could pay ; nor do I know of any merchant who has pressed any ono of us, although wo could havo paid them before wo did, but with great patience have waited and said nothing. Those who have taken our wheat, from what I can sco, do not wish to take any more, and nomo will not. As a matter of course, it must follow that they cannot sell it to pay them for their trouble, and to force upon a merchant what the does not want, is much easier done in Oregon than any place I know of. Mr. Editor, I am not in favor of sending a delegato to the States with a petition for merchants particularly, to do a losing busi ness; but should thoy come, which in all conscience I hope they may, Jet us try to encourage them all we can, and that too without grumbling ; and not fly in their faces at all points for wanting to do what is natural for every man to do, and what we ourselves do every day of our lives to get what we can for what we have to noil. So far tho merchants of Oregon may boaRt, that they havo done much ior this community. Can wo do the same hy them 1 1 ask every can did mm who knows anything of business. i FlFTV-KOUR PoRTr.
