THE COMING PEOPLE.
The tide of immigration is already
setting in from the East : a tide that
promises to culminate in a regular wave,
Two causes have combined to cause this
one the failure of crops in some of the
western states; the other the fact,
which Is becoming tolerably well known
in the East, that in Oregon the crops
never fail, and want and suffering are
unknown. This stream . of incomers
should be somewhat controlled by the
people already here. Efforts should be
made to divide it up, and to this end
the fullest information should be given
concerning the different parts of the
state, so that the newcomer could suit
himself, and select that portion of the
state for a home best suited to his ideas.
This, in such states as Illinois, Iowa,
and the other prairie states, would not
be necessary, because there is little dif
ference between the different sections of
those states. Here it is a necessity, be
cause with our vast area, our mount'
ains and valleys, our watered Will am
ette and our dryer hills and rolling
plains of Eastern Oregon, our magnifi
cent mountain range, dividing the state
and giving us a variety of climate, and
consequently of products, make it im
possible to convey any idea of any one
section of the state by a description of
any other part.
Our resources are unlimited. The
vast forests of magnificent fir, pine
cedar and hemlock offer opportunities
to the millmen and lumbermen. The
coast-counties, and those bordering on
the lower Columbia, furnish unequaled
facilities for the dairyman. The Colum
bia, and other streams that flow to the
sea, contain mines of wealth in the fish
ing industries. The Willamette valley
yields cereals as no other place on earth
The plains of Eastern Oregon, with
their succulent grasses, furnish pasture
for vast herds of sheep and cattle, and
yield abundant crops of wheat. The
section along the middle Columbia, and
notably Wasco county, is the home of
'. the apple, the pear, the prune, and all
same fruits. Southern Oregon produces
the small fruits in profusion, and at the
same time yields from the earth an
abundance of gold. Baker, Union
Grant, Wallowa, and the counties along
the eastern border, are famed for
their wonderful mines, that are only yet
in a stage of development. Harney
Malheur, Crook and the interior counties
send countless numbers of fat beeves and
sheep to market, and wool in quantities
that run up into the millions of pounds
And besides these there are hundreds of
things that are possible. In the last
named counties, for instance, the whole
attention is turned to stock, because the
distance from market precludes farming
except in such limited form as will eup
ply the local'market.
The industries of Oregon are hardly
begun to be developed, they are hardly
named yet, and many that will event
nally add to her wealth, have not yet
been even thought of. With all these
varied pursuits to choose from, the im
migrant would easily select, but he must
be told where to go. A million peopl
can be distributed throughout the state
and all would find homes and create
their own employment, if a little knowl
edge is given them as to where to go,
This should be furnished, and the stream
of immigration divided up into a thous
and smaller streams at this end of the
route, -as it was at the other in gathering
itself for the trip across the continent,
- A little care and attention will accom
plish this,- and Oregon will get a portion
of that stream which has heretofore been
emptied into our sister state to the
north. Wasco county can absorb 50,000
of them and ha?e room for five times
that many more and give every.one of
them a home. Shall we make an effort
to get them, or shall we sit idle and see
the stream flow by?

Charges Against the Former
Whisky
Trust Directors.
Chicago, March 25. A sensational re-
port was submitted to Receiver McNulta,
of the whisky trust, today by experts,
who for a month have been examining
the books of the Greenhut management,
Charges of juggling accounts, doctoring
books and similar work, are made, and
the report asserts that former directors
and officers, by - disposing of stock to
themselves, have left a discrepancy of
$1,924,120. The report states that 34,'
682 shares were sold by officers and di
rectors to themselves at. 45 cents on the
dollar, and consequently almost $2,000,
000 is due from them to stockholders of
the Distilling & Cattle Feeding Com
pany.
General McNulta has called a confer
ence of the interested parties to consider
the matter. There is little doubt but
the experts' report ' will result in a hot
light between the present management
and the Greenhut people.
