OREGON'S CJIANCJE.
From Iho Oregon Statesman.
Every indication now points to im
proved times in Oregon. 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 .
