MAGNIFICENT EXHIBIT.
Wo woro at Portland on Saturday
last, nnd bhw, at tlio Lund Dopurtmcnt
of the Oregon nnd California' Railroad
Company, a vory flno collection of ce
reals, craBses, and other agricultural
products of Western Oregon, which ro
fleets Meat credit on tho State of Or
egon nnd on tho wlo liberality of the
.Railroad Company, as well as on tho
cnorey and forethought of Mr. BciiuImj,
scent of tho Company's hind, who has
liiviriml and carried out tho idea of
gathering a good exhibit or our pro
ducts, to bo shown at tho Industrial
Exposition of California that com
mences lit Han I'runclsco August 7th,
and continues one month. Tho collec
tion combines many varieties of wheat,
nts, barley, rye, native grasses that
form of themselves a beautiful collec
tion, and cultivated grasses that show
to tho greatest advantage tho quality
of our toll. Homo of tho specimens
were lllerally of enormous growth.
Wheat, rye, and oats, from boven to
eight feet high; timothy, tho same;
orchard grass and clover over six feet,
and red top, English blue grass, rye
grass, JIutlman'sgrass, nnd n number
of other varieties wo cannot namo from
inomoiy, thai nro in proportion. Wo
know of other varieties of cereals nnd
many of grasses still tocomeand though
tho utenmor which left yesterday enr
oled itway 11 remarkable collection it is
Hud to say that tho ensuing steamor
will greatly augment It both as to qual
ity and variety. Thoro nro scores of
articles worthy of particular mention,
but. lhoy have beon packed with great
est enro nnd sont away, nnd tho oven
iug train of Saturday brought down
many more that will hnvo to follow on
tho noxt steamer. Tho Railroad Com
pany Is dcslrlous to hnvo contributions
continue, as it Is tho intention to rotnln
at tho Portland ofllco a good exhibit,
besides making that at San Francisco
as comploto as possible
ItosldoR coroals and graasos in pro
fusion, thoro aro good specimens of
wool. Mr. Joseph Hamilton, of Linn
comity, furnishes a card of specimens
from his flock of graded Cotswolds,
averaging six lbs., nnd selling for 01
conl per lb. W. J. Horron, of Salem,
has n card of Bum pi on of mohair comb
ing wools, and flno Merino, that shows
splendidly. Mr. M. Wllklns, of Iiiuio
couuty. will furnish samples of his
Dow Oxfordshlres that took tho Con
tenuiul medal, nnd it la to bo liaped
Unit others will still contribute to mako
a showing in a department wherein
Oregon ho especially excels. Thero
was ouo splendid bunch of tall timo
thy, with one head l!i Inches long,
which wo saw there, but unfortunately
cannot remember tho namo of tho con
tributor. Tho wheat oxhiblted wirs occasional
ly remnrkablo fram particular causes.
J). Jeflerson, of Salom, sent a good art
icle of whlto wheat raised on laud tieu
trplmml or inrrour,Bowod on burned
atumplnnd and brushed Into tli cashes.
The Hold ought to average thirty bush
la per acre. O. W. Hunt, of Waldo
Hills, has n sheaf of white winter
wheat from ground cultivated twenty
six yean continuously without cfiauyii
0 (.. Hon. Bamuul Drown, of
French Prairie, sends n sheaf of wheat
from ground that was tlrst cultivated
by tho Hudson Hay Co's men in I820,
and has been cultivated right along 48
ytur$ out oCA, and Is good yet. TIkmu
, itpecimeus lllmtrato tho strength of the
oil and capacity of tho Slate. Wo
hoard an ontlinsliwtlo gentium in de
clare his belief that this was tho great
est collection of cereals and grasses ever
mado since ngrlculturoeominenced on
tho earth, ami we conversed with a visi
tor from Nebraska who Mild that alter
eelng this exhibit ho didn't earn to go
up tho valley prospecting, but would go
back and bring his family as hoou as
possible this was the country for him.

Hundreds of copies of tho Willam
ette Farmer go direct to Eastern
subscribers, and many of tho thousands
who receive tho paper in Oregon have
Jrienda'at th'o East who Intend coming
to Oregon. To all these, wo would
commend attontion to the advertise
ment of the Oregon Steamship Compa
ny conbernlng the building of a flue
steamer for tho Columbia river trade,
that will bo completed nnd lenvo New
York noxt winter, taking. passengers
from that placo to Portland at a reason
able and oven low figure. The steam
or referred to will bo vory largo and
commodious, and passengers can bo
mado very comfortable -Many will
doubtless bo pleased 'to mako a sea
voyngo under such pleasant circum
stances, and, as tho prico will be rea
sonable nnd the two months required
for tho voyage will come in winter and
passago around Capo Horn bo mado at
tho timo of tho Antarctic Summer, tho
voyago will bo robbod of many of its
discomforts. It will probably suit
many to mako such a voyago, and 'tho
moderation of tho terms makes it ceo
nomical to do so. Thero is abundant
timo for nil those interested to secure
passago nnd prepare for tho journey.
Early spring, when tho new steamer
will arrive, is tho best lime for immi
gration to reach Oregon, nnd for all
those who live near tho Atlantic coast
this seems to bo a favorable opportuni
ty. Tho now steamer is qtilto largo nnd
of heavy burden, and shows tho Inten
tion of the railroad nnd steamship com
pany to fully satisfy tho wants of our
trade by providing steamers of capaci
ty to convey tho multitude of passen
gers that flock towards Oregon and
give them excellent us well us ample
accommodation, nnd also to provide
sufllciont tonnage for tho increasing
trade between tho Columbia river and
Han Francisco.
How Men Prospor in Oregon.
Energy, good Judgment nnd econo
my lire elements of siiccosh In all conn
tries, but in no country moro than Or
egon. It is as a gonoral rulo truo that
a man needs somo monoy in hand to
mako good progress hero, as ho does
olsowhero, but wo can call to mind
numerous Instances wboro mon who a
few years ago woro rontlng farms aro
now l&nd-ownora, prosperous and com
fortable. Throe brothers who 11 fow
yearn aga woro renting farms nro now
largo 1 Innd-ownors and perhaps worth
$75,000 botwoon thorn. Frio ids of ours
who nro now among tho most prosper
ous farmers of nnothor county woro
four or llvo years ago renters of land
noar Salom. Another gontloman, a
man of robust frame, good pluck and
goodjudgmont, gives us his history as
follows: eight years ago ho purchased
forty acres of land and was unable to
pay for It all, and now ho owns over
'225 acres in 0110 of tho best farming
regions of this valley, worth $10 an
acre, lias $3,000 worth of grain to har
vest, at present prices, and monoy in
his purse to harvest it with.
Such results as these show that suc
cess Is tho normal condition of an Or
ogon farmer, nnd if ho does not reallxe
It ho must either bo badly situated in
somo respect unablo to bring his soil
into cultivation, or remote from mar
kets, Wiion traveling through differ
out parts of this valley, of late, wo
found many comfortable and somo ev
on elegant homes In every nolghlxir
hood. Fow of these men brought
much means hero but their prosperity
comes as tho reward of years of judi
cious lubr.
Wealth exists in overy form of mat
ter and every change of place. The
m ill Is dlsapM)intiug tho expectations of
tho most sangu'no by producing with
unwearied succession, showing ex
hatiitlos wealth. Mr. 8.1ml. Drown,
of Gervals, shows wheat from 11 Held
that was llrst tilled by tho employees
of the II u 1 son Ray company, in 1820,
lllty-one years, and has beon cultivated
since then forty-eight years out of the
0 fly-one.
Tho present year, desplto much very
indifferent farming, nflVrs a mast won-
deriul harvest, that will bo equal to if
not superior to any previous harvest
known in tho country. It is siarce
liosilblo that we shall not enjoy very
decided pnnporlty,greator than can be
H iimed by any other portion of the
Union, and very likely not equalled
any where else.
While many thrive, nnd most at
leat do well, here us elsewhere there
Is mom Air Improvement. Many farms
lack enro and attention, wild (Kits tow.
crnbovo and seem to swallow up Ileitis
of growing wheat; different weeds
IMllnto the will, and it is evident the
farmer id IndiUoreut to consequences do
long as the soil will give him somo
kind of support as roward for indiffer
ent culture.
Good farmers and poor farmers live
Bido by side and tho facts can bo rend
and understood by any passer by, The
men who meet success such as we
have told about are aotive, pushing
nnd economical persons, who use good
Judgment in farming, and there is no
profession or trade where skill nnd ox
perionco pass for rnoro than in tho pro
duction of tho many articles necessary
to supply tho wants of man.
