Crop pros pects were never better and the promise of good prices is very flat tering. Prom Hon. G. AV. Colby, the champion Granger of Northern California, we learn that the tide of emigration, from the Southern partis simply immense, all headed towards Oregon. But it is not alone from California that immigrants are com ing; they are coming by the hundreds iron Eastern States. Oregon is no longer known as a county in California, but as a State possessing vast natural resources and offering better inducements to set tlers than any other, of the States or Territories, of the United States. Sj'mpathizing with California in her unfavorable prospects for crops for the coming harvest, yet her misfor tune has had the ellect to turn the tide of emigration towards Oregon where the crops never fail. Here tofore California has been enabled to hold out inducements to settle in that State; but now things have changed, not only the Eastern emigration, but also great numbers of Californiansare leaving their sun-parched homes for the land of ' occasional mists." Ore gon has natural resources for a rich and populous state, and all that is now required is development; to ac complish this it will take capital nid muscle. One of the first things 'hut should command attention, in hucJi a way as to insure success, is railroad communication with the rest of the world. Thnnsjinflfj nf innin"int or kept from coming to our state by rea son of lhe hardships and expense of getting here. It is not for this pur pose alone that railroads are needed but for the general impulse they will give business generally as well. Our state can never become nermanently prosperous while sparsely settled. Our commerce at present is to small to command any considerable attention; hence we are food for mo nopolies. With increased population comes increased business and this in vites competition, all combined pro duces a market at remurnerative prices. Now is Oregon's opportunity to move in such enterprises as will tend to develope her recourses. The tide of immigration is pouring in up on us the season has been favorable, and every indication points to better times. Then, while in the flood tide of piosperity, let enteprise and skill direct all things in the proper chan nels of continued growth and pros perity. Railroads cannot be built in a day, it takes time and means, the means are not easily obttained; com- j bined efforts alone can secure the i necessary aid; therefore, in order to accomplish anytning in that direc tion, under our present condition, ( it is necessary to concentrate. Se lect some one of the many needed routes and concentrate all efforts to accomplish the end then, with in creased powers, we may be able to take another, and so on till all that are needed have bocome accom plished facts. Encourage Strangers. The fol lowing exce: it from the Statesman is woithy of leproduction. The word- ap ply to Abtona, aa well a AValla Walla. The Statesman tay: "When t-trangers come here with means and propose toen gage in business encourage them in all nobble waj's. If they deiro a lot fur building purpose., sell it to them at a reasonable rate. If they with to a-l-iblMi a manufacturing enterprise, and require water power, don't ak them three times as much at, the privilege is worth. If you do the chance is that they will jeek tome other localit3, and leave you with unpro ductive property on your hands. Owing to want of lorcbight the woolen mills were driven to Dayton, and in the end have been the means efbuildin: up a formida ble rival to Walla Walla. The origina tors of that enterprise desired to locate here, but finding that water power could only be had at an enormous outlay, they accepted the donation oJ a mill site from Jesse Dnj and built their factory at a town Unit then only had an existence on paper. The surest way to build up a town is to deal liberally with strangers. In the early settlement of the northwest co-ist, Oregon-city had the lead and promised to b the chief town in the coi.ntry. Holders of town lots taking advantage o! this, held their property at oxtruvaqant figures. The rest. it was the. location of a town named Portland, and Oregon-city speculator were left out in the cold. Like begets like, and if a selfish po.icy killed Oregon-city, it may prove "ijui ions to other towns. " Welcome the sttanger within .your gate." is an old in junction, the wisdom or which i jut us apparent now a when first utti-red. Let Us welcome new comers, aid tln-in in se curing location, and in all Mi-table ways makethem feel that we are joined with them i in i the bonds of a comniin hu manity." 9 . .Who wants to know about the great Slate where the eipyrt equal in value ?3b per head of the entire popula turn, send $1 00 to D.
