KAMBLE3 IN OKEOOff.
From a Kansas paper we quote
the following letter descriptive of
Albany and Oregon. It was writ
ten by Dr. J. M. Littler, brother
of J. C. Littler dentist of this city :
According to promiee, I will try
and w rite you something of this
country; this land of uromiaA!
this land of milk and honey; this
laiiuoi six months rain ami six
montlis sunshine.
I found my biother here allright
mm enjoying very goca neaitn.
ine country litre is very liue
indeed, line is in the best nart
of the famous Willamette valley.
This city is most favorably located
on the river. It has surrounding
ii yiiceii me miesi iarming coun
tries ii nas neen mv privilege to
see since 1 k-it the Sunflower
State, liiere is no boom here.
luaeeti mere nas been a steady
growth, not commensurate with
the growth of the surrounding
country. This city is one of the
oldest in the state and is an old-
tashioned town, much like the
cities of the east a few years aco.
From California to Oregon is in
very many respects a transforma
tion... Whereas, in California.
vegetation bad taken ion somber
appearance indicating that-fuM
maturity had been attained, in
Oregon the vegetation is fresh and
green, indicating the newness of
spring, and life is bounding and
tuil iji every respect.
Now, what are the inducements
this country have to offer? la the
lirst place this is the county seat
of one of the best counties "in the
state ; is located on the Willamette
river, where there is a good lin
of steamboats constantly plying
between here and Portland.
Secondly, the city has ample water
power to run all t lie factories, that
will be required for several years.
The water for the power is brought
in a canal fourteen miles long and
is now running a large woolen
factory; the electric light works;
waterworks; several gristmills;
planing mills; laundry, etc.
There is a Uioni for several differ
ent factories here, including a
paper mill, door and sasli factory,
etc.
Third, the city is inclose prox
imity to the timber. Now within
10 miles of Albany there are line
forests of timber, equal to any in
the country, measuring as much
in smne instances as 100,
Ot'O feet to the acre. The Oregon
I'aeilic K. K. is building a road to
this timber which virtually lave it
at the feet of the people of'Albany.
Again, the railroads that enter
litre are a great thing for this city.
The Oregon Pacific will soon buiid
a trans-continental line across the
t lie Mate anti connect with some
of the eastern trunk lines. This
will undoubtedley lie one if the
best, if not tiie best line of railway
in the state, connecting the city
on the one hand with deep water
at Yaijuina Bay on the Pacific sea
board, and with the ureat East.
In a few months Albany will have
a direct outlet to tbo sea at Astoria,
as the work oi building this -oad
is now progressing tinely, thus
giving her three t.ntlets to the sea,
to wit : Yaquina, Astoria, and
