DECLINE OF IMMIdKATlOX.
At the present time it is said that
tliuru nro seventy thousand peoplo out
of work .in the city of New York, and
the hard times existing generally
through the country cnue a great de
cline everywhere for skilled labor, and
asaconsequenco of this state of things
tens of thousands of skilled laborers are
returning to Europe to (hid work. At
the same time there is a startling do
cllno in immigration. In fifty years
nearly ten milliom foreigners have em
mlgrated to the United States, and
this heavy tide of immigration coming
from abroad lias given America the
necessary population to build up new
regions and add to tho greatness of all
our institutions.
It is singular to realize that in many
respects tho inducements for emigra
tion to America are lessening, and that
the conditions are oven fo reversed
that many are returning to Europe to
seek fields of labor there. One of tho
reasons for this state of tilings is to bo
found in tho improved condition of the
working clashes in Nio old countries.
As tho years pass, tho influence of
American institutions Is felt in Europe
to increase tho wages of labor there
and Improve tho condition of tho work
ing people, so as to prevent too great
emigration to tho New World. It is no
disadvantage to our manufacturing in
terests that such is tho case, for at the
old rates of labor our industries re
quired an unnatural amount of protec
tion, by means of tho tariff, to enable
manufacturers to compoto at all with
those of the Old World.
At tho present time the inducements
held out to tho ordinary emigrant nro
greatly decreased, because most of
these coino hero to seek a homestead
on our wild lands, and at present these
lands arc only to be found in the far
West, and are in great part held and
owned by monster corporations who of
fer them nt spcculdtivo prices. To emi
grate to the West at tho present time
is to pass a thousand miles westward,
across the continent, farther than was
required to obtain a good homestead on
wild lands twenty years ago. At this
time there is both less inducement to
come to America and less Inducement
to leave European countries than ever
before, but wo nro strong and numer
ous enough now to occupy and defend
tho Continent, and it is moro for our
interest that labor shall be well reward
ed in other countries, than that it
should bo driven to our shores.

Christian Gratitude.
fvnopjUof Iter P. 8. Knight' fcrmon, delivered

"To the generous mind
The heaviest debt is that of gratitude."
Franklin.
"What can I pay theo for this noble usage,
Kutgratelul praise! bo heaven ltselfl pld."
Howe.
"A grateful mind
By o Ing owes not, but mill pays, at once
Indebted and discharged."
Milton.
"I am debtor both to the Greeks and to the
Barbarians; both to the wise and the unwise."-
liul (Uom., 1:U).
This saying of tbo Apostle Paul is a pecu
liarly honest acknowledgment of indebted
ness. On this day of State and National
Thanksgiving we will do woll if we stifle-his
words to shape our meditations. We may
Inquire briefly, first, as to the scope of this in
dedtednew. lie felt himself to be indebted to Greeks,
barbarians, learned and unlearned. These
were geueral expressions by which he meant
to indicate that he felt indebted tooverybody.
He folt under something more than philan
thropic obligations to all classes of poople, In
all tribes and nations; to those of Rome
whom he had never seen, as well as to those
of Grooco where be had founded churches,
and those of Judea among whom he had
spent his youth.
We may consider, secondly, the nature of
this indeblcdnecs. It was plainly and simply
a debt of gratitude. It was not money that
he owed, nor service. Yet it was that which
might include both, and means Infinitely
more than either. It was Love the coin of
the heart, the currency of heaven; love
springing Irom gratitude and spending itself
wherever It Is noeded most. Paul fe)t for
some reason that be oural such love as this to
all the world. In response to-It he was will
ing to suffer bonds and imprisonment, "to
preach tho gospel to those at Rome," or to
suffer tho perils of travel by land and sea.
We may inquire, thirtltif, what were- the
ground of this imlebleUnetif Why did Paul
feel that he owed the world so inuohf Toe
Greeks laughed him to scorn;, the Romans
Imprisoned him; the Jews accused him; tbe
barbarians mobbed him. In every city bonds
and a mictions awaited hlrm Yet In the
midst of all he boro upon his heart the- bar
den of this thought, "I am debtor to-Greeks,
Romans, Jews, barbarians, to all men."' And
in a true sense I believe Paul felt his- great
debt to be one of gratitude. Christ hadseved
him. This was the thought that made-hls
whole-life an inspiration ot burning wwds
and burning deeds. His love for the Muster
must needs 11 tul expression. In love for aaen,
for this was the distinguishing characteristic
of Christ's own love. And this, by th way,
Is the highest form of gratitude a gratitude
that spends Itself on oeoondary objecto; that
failing to find tho benefactor lu, ponxu, be
stows its tbuuk offering whore It is. aot ex
pected. There is something more touuhinLn King
itavid searching out and bestow ing.Ai.vord on

transfei tho debt !i!ch he owed) his Master
to the credit of tuaeo whom. hls-liAsster died to
save. It Is a pr jiutple forevev in harmoay
with tho Gospel that the gratitude we feci to
wards Him should spend Itself in deeds and
words of lovo te wards the objects ot His care
and mercy.
In apply Inn the doctrine tbns evolved from
this text tootuselvos, we may remark; First,
we have the same giwral reasons for thank
fulnoss aud gratitude to the Olverof all good
us Paul the Apostle. We have theuo, in faot,
in greater measure than he. He detnled him
self many things that we count necessary to
happiness. We have also the same special
reasons, for gratitude. Christ la, or should
bo, to us personally all that he was to him.
lie nud His salvation are worth as much to
day as they wore lu Paul's day worth as
much to you and mo as thoy were to him.
"Wo may remark, secondly, that the world
Is at, uide, as diverse, as sinful and as needy
now as It wits when Paul's heart was burden
cd with auxloty fur Its salvation. If we do
not feel tho bit i ifcii as he felt It, It Is simply
evidence that wo do not appreciate as ho did
tho Inestimable gift of God. Aud we may re
mark, ,fmifi, that our obligations of grati
tude and thaukfuluess bind us to the needy,
the sull'ering aud tho sinful, as those of the
Apostle bound him.
It Is not to our credit that we do not feel
the drawing of these bonds as he felt then).
Thoro arc good, reasons why wo should feel
them oven moio. We might reasonably ex
pect to see Christian enterprise and sympa
thy more Intense lu this fast age than In
those times when men made their longest
journeys on foot, on camels and in row boats.
The railways that cross continents, the
steamships that plow the broadest expanse
ot ocean, and the telegraphs that bring the
Orient aud Oocldeut withlu hailing diatanoe
of each other, should ouly serve to give detln
iteuesa aud Intensity to the varied forms of
benevolence and Christian activity. The fact
that we read in our dally papers dispatches
from Persia lesa than Ave days old, giving
aooouuta of a famine that U depopulating
thickly settled regions, la a striking evidence
of modem enterprise and of our willingness
to pay for news, But the fact that the trem
bllug wires bear back to the hlatorlo East few
worda of sympathy, few promises of aid, la a
sad evidence of tnoral dearth la the Savored
lands of the West corresponding to the dearth
of bread In the lesa favored East. And If we
bear without heading, la some substantial
and. honest wax, the cry that comae to us
from Kansas and Iowa from Uom of our
own kindred whoa narraaU bava baas con
sumed by an Egyptian plague, at whose cot
tage doors tho winter winds and the wolf of
famine howl in dismal concert what is it
but a sad evidence that the rich harvests of
our fruitful valleys have not produced in us
a corresponding wealth of gratitude and
thuukfuluesst
On the contrary Is it not true that a spirit
of feWUhness, conceit and grumbling Is fast
taklog possession of us ?' And not only for
the sake of others, but for our own sakes, we
need to think of these things. Sooneror later
God will bring our outer and inner lives into
harmony. If we persist Instarvlngonrsouls,
sooner or later he will starve "ur bodies. If
our hearts are barren, our lands will become
like them. If we by our example bpqueath
a sordid discontented spirit to our children,
and they to theirs, a doznn generations may
dismantle these groen hills and make these
valleys as unfruitful as the plains of Persia.
These results will f llow Buch a spirit not as
direct acts of punishment from God, but as
inevitable results. One sin leads to another.
Moral blindness leads to every foro of blind
ness. They who will not care ior weir nign
er interests, will finally fail to care lor the
lower. They who "rob God," In the end in
evitably rob themselves.

The river Is about sixty yards- wide; deep
aud still, with a gently flbwlng- currant to

maples, alder, willow, and the beautiful and
fragrant myrtle bends its green, head and
reaches down Its loug arms lovingly, aa if
to clasp in its embrace the gently flowing
river and lave its glistmitng foliage in the
chrystal wa'ers. The myrtle Is one of the

Far away upon the.opposlte shore ardiup,.
and down the river as- tr as the eye oould

the dark gmean fir eavwed hills in hhe dis
tance. Any WillatoeUe man wouSdt bava
pronouncsdi the river a line one, and, if it
had been prairie, owucd that this valley was
one of the most beautiful on earth. But kite
trees imsst be destroyed before tie soil can
be cultivated, and the processor destruction
require some patience, perseverance, and
back-bone; and the average Oregonian U not
always-the man for the emergency.
Four miles, further up the river I landed at
Coq utile city ,a village of a dozsn or so houses,
a Hour mill and a store or two. The place is
on a raised point af land, is. a neat, pleasant
ly situated place; and seems to be doing con
siderable business. Here Is the tertnlnuB of
the Cunningham Crock, Wagon Koad, which
Intersects tho Coos Day Wagon Road, at
Morris' pluco ten miles from the Hay. Co
quillo City is vow the principle business
center of the Coqullle Valley, and evidently
has a future before it.
From this point I continued up tho river
on horseback, over a break ueck trail, being
promised auothor flue view ot the valley
whou I got ou top of "llurnod Mouutali."
Hut when I got there the valley was so filled
with smoke from tiros In the clearings that
the vltw was entirely obsoured. I continued
on to tlio forks of the river, about fifteen
miles (by water) from Coqullle City. From
here are wagou roads up either fork of the
stream, and at their lunction has bsen built a
good substantial bridge. This portion of the
valley Is pretty woll settled up, and the older
residents have their placoa well improved
and are comfortal ly fixed.
Time uot permitting me to go farther in
this direction, I sought refuge for the night
with an old farmer, a fine sample of the
genius "Old Oregonlan," one who believes in
the future of the Coqullle valley and uses bis
brain aud muscle accordingly. And on the
morrow I returned to Coqullle City,
Pulling a heavy skiff backwards down a
river of which you know dotblug, but want
to see everything, becomes In time, not only
somewhat mouotonoua, but the constant ef
fort of looking ovey your shoulder to sea
ahead, becomes trylug to the muscles of the
neck. So. wlahlug to seethe loner part of
the river, and finding a man, who was going
within a few miles of Ibe sea, for lumber, I
took first oabln passage on board bis flat
boat and we atartad with the tide at alz
o'clock p. x. A my dutlea war limited
to steering, I bad a good opportunity of
looking about, which I Improved until dark
ness and a sea fog closed In upon us, and the
bracelng sea breeze over did the thing, until
it became uncomfortably cold. Bat we must
get all we could of the tide, the mn said, and'
we kppt on. There Is nothing like a good
turn at a heavy pair of oars to moderate the
rigors of the climate, and your correspondent
was presently comfortable again. We pro
ceeded thus until eleven o'clock, when the
tide having turned, we tied up of our boat
to the shoie, gathered a lot of dry grass and
weeds which we placed In the bottom of the
boat, and spreading our blankets lay down
In our boots, with a boat sail over to keep off'
the dew.

sofly laping waves, lulled us at last to slum

Waking at peep of day, it was pleasant to
reflect that I was not taking this trip fbr
pleasure. No, I was traveling to Bee the coun
try, and the satisfaction of a duty well per
formed; although at the- expense of some
disagreeable hardships was my recompense
of reward. Then It Is nob pleasant for one-to
perceive, after It Is too lato that he has most
egregiously missed'it, aud as a pleasure trip,
this one would- hare beer a decided failure.
The recollection of it now-, is not unpleasant,
but the-reallty was decidedly rough.
The-tide was-running out, and we cast
loose our shore fastenings, and proceeded on
cur way. The morning was chily, andia
heavy, damp fog covered the river like a
path Through this uninviting canopy we
floated' down, tugging at our oars, cold and
hungry to woldshness. But aa the sun ;ese
over, the forest, his beams dispelled the-fog
audi lighted up the river scenery and tbe
spirits of the voyagers.
The river widens considerably to wards., lis
mouth; the banks become lower and In
places along the shore are stretches of mud
Cat, co verul with water at high tide. Occa
sionally a.solltary crane was seen perched
high upoa a tree, or wading sedately along
tbe edge of a mud Cat. Numerous flocks of
ducks ware coasting, serenely alougt the
shore, and-tbe salmon;, which were jusieom

other mining towns, and all that now re
mains is Mr. Adam Pershbarkerstore. We
did not go balow this place, but after mak
ing a few purchases, returned up tbe river
four miles- to Paul's mill. This company
have a large saw mill, run by water power.
Also planers, and other machinery to fit

Here we took lu ourcargand commenced
our return tourney, floating upon the pulse
wave of this great artery of the worlds cir
culation. Daylight gave, opportunity for ob
servation; tbe river is larger here than above
but loses more of Its .piiet beauty. Kver
and anon we pass the house of a settler
whose children are playiug In the sunshine,
or see the cows browsing by the riverside, or
the plt;s hunting for myrtle uuu under
the trees. Wo hear the ringing axe
of the sturdy Immigrant, see the smoke as
cend from his clearing, aud by thwso tokens
recognize tbe march of civilizitiou and the
building up of a commonwealth. Utrj, in
these woods, ou this lonely shore, the hardy
and adventurous planter builds his rude roof
to shelter his family, trusting in his stout
heart and brawny arm to win from the re
sources with which nature has surrounded
him, maintalnance for his loved ones and
comfort for his declining years. Though his
cabin Is rude and his fare homely, and he
lacks tho polish of the metropolitan citizen,
his integrity and open-beartedness la prover
bial, and bis hospitality unbounded. He wel
comes tbe toll-worn traveler to rest beneath
his bumble roof aud share his social meal,
and although be accepts pecuniary recom
pense when tendered him, tbe unfortunately
impecunious axe never turned unrelieved
from bis door.
Steadily we progressed and reached tbe city
again without incident, and were in prime
condition to 6DJoy a nigbt'a repose.
I have seen the Coqullle river at least the
principal portion of It; I have also seen the
swift Allegany, tbe much vaunted Ohio, tbe
upper Mississippi (the Father of Waters), the
sparkling Des Moines aud the muddy Mis
souri, tbe Platte, tbe Sweetwater, Green river,
Bear river, and so on, still traveling west
ward, to tbe rushing and plunging Snake
river and the mighty Columbia. I have lived
upon the banks, and sailed upon the waters
of ibe beautiful Willamette, and with the rec
ollection of all these streams before me, am
prepared to say that no more beautiful stream
of water ever ran over dirt than this "river of
the west," the OoqaUls. And I em equally
.Impressed with to belief that this valley
wilt, at no distant day, be recognized as ona
of tbe important parts of tbe State of Oregon.
Its natural resources and advantages must of
necessity make It so, if the residents will do
their part.
Here is a country peculiarly adapted to
four of the great industries of the world: A
mild f qulable and healthy climate; a fertile
soil, where grass is green all summer, and
winter. too, with abundant mountain range,
make It admiralty suited for stock raising or
dairying. Then there are inexhaustible mines
of coal and forests of timber, with splendid
water transportation; only tbe bsrat tbe riv
er's month prevents the entrance of vessels
sufficiently large to carry away these pro
ducts with profit. This defect will, however,
be remedied in time. Congress-wilt andonbt
ly see the utility of 'appropriating money to
open the mouth of this river, that this pent
up wealth may find-a market. In thladiree
tton Southern Oregon will events-ally Snd
an outlet, and a large araountof the travel
and commerce of'the State will come this
way. The trade of Coos county is now al
most exclusively with California, and tbe
State of Oregon loses many a dollar which is
legitimately hers, for lack of'rallroad'coa- ,
munlcatlon with the coast at this point.
