They are pouring Into the Wlllam

Boutnern Jfacino passenger department
this afternoon. In answer to a question
in regard to the disposition of the hun
dreds of homeseekers who are arriving
from the east by every overland train.
"in the last three days 486 settlers
have gone south over our lines, they
having purchased tickets at middle vest
and eastern points principally for Ore
gon. Of course, It is impossible to
say how many came only so far as Fort
land and here bought transportation to
country districts. -It is a fact, however,

this encouraging fact." ) V---
Thomas McCusker, contracting agent
of the Southern Pacific, returned this
morning from a month's leave of absence
in tho east When interviewed, he said
without qualification that the Pacific
coast is largely the subject of discussion
among thousands of dissatisfied lnhabl.
tants of the eastern, north middle and
middle states.
"I went east on a vacation," said
Mr. McCusker, "and have been in 20
different states, including Massachusetts,
and the climate that J met surprised me,
although an easterner. You know when
one returns to the oldf stamping grounds
he forgets how cold it used to be in the
winters and how bitter the blasting
winds. Having lived In Oregon for a
number of years, the comparison was
most marked.
"People would say to me all manner
of unkind things about the Oregon mist
and the like, but, having seen swamped
districts fn every state traveled from
here to the Atlantic, I took the expres
sions as jokes and called attention, to
the fact that the precipitation in the
Columbia river, country Is not as heavy
as in any northern state you can name.
Besides, the rains here are not destruc
tive, while there whole districts are
ruined annually by floods and tempests.
'So far as the desire of the majority
of the people, particularly the fairly
well-to-do farmer is concerned, you
may talk to nine out of 10, and they
will say that if they could sell they
would emigrate to the Paclflo coast."
Probably COO homeseekers arrived In
Portland today, and while many pro
ceeded to their ultimate destinations,
othess sought temporary abodes in this
city.
At the chamber of commerce Assistant
Secretary Mosesshon said that for the
last week there had not been Behalf
hour during working hours that some
stranger would not seek information
about real estate or others concerning
industrial ieatures of the city or state.
l nave naa at least zo persons in this
office at one time desiring to know the
advantages of Oregon," continued Mr.
Mosesshon, "and it is very gratifying
to know that we 'have the best of in
ducements to offer."
Real estate men report a large in
quiry for farm lands in the Willamette
valley and a number of deals of moderate
size are being worked on by the dealers.
Suburban homes come In for a large
part of the Inquiry and even Portland
business property is being sought after
by the Incomers.
MONEY IN
ALASKA
CODFISH
Ship captains who go .up 'the coast
every spring to engage In the salmon
trade say that Bristol bay Is swarm
ing with codfish, and surprise is ex
pressed that some enterprising com
pany does not inquire into the mat
ter. They state that a fortune awaits
some firm that decides to engage In
the codflshlng business off the AlaBka
coast Captain Olsen, who has spent
several seasons up north, and who in
tends to return again this spring on
the American ship Sargeant, says: .
"I have seen Bristol bay fairly swarm
ing with codfish. At times they are so
jammed together that many of them
are crowded out on to the beach and
die. I have seen hundreds of tons of
them strewn all along the shore. People
who have never been there do not real
ize the unlimited quantities of fish in
those waters.
"The Alaska cod are the finest speci
mens I ever saw. Many of them are
four and five feet in length. It would
be possible for a ship of ordinary car
rying capacity to go up there in the
spring and secure a complete cargo in
three or four months' time. Some at
tention is now being given to this mat
ter. A representatie of a Chicago fish
firm was in the city the other 'day, and
agreed to pay 3 cents a pound for all
the Alaska cod that he could procure.
At this price a 1.000-ton vessel would
carry a $60,000 cargo. When it is known
that this amount of money can be real
ized from this Industry laMtde of three
or four months It appears strange that
some local company was not organized
long ago to engage in the business.
There would be more profit in it than
In any other business enterprise on the
coast.
"I brought four barrels of cod down
with me on the trip last fall. I gave
them away to my friends, allxof whom
pronounced them to be first-class. I
would have brought more, but I only had
with me a limited 'supply of salt In
order to preserve them properly a big
quantity of salt is required. In time
I look for cod. fishing to be of a' more
important industry than salmon can
ning. ' As soon as the possibilities of
the business are thoroughly realized
there will undoubtedly be companies
operating all along the roast of Bristol
bay. Portland capitalists should In
quire into this matter and get in on the
ground floor."
