V &!- C) i gto jgnxis Q&lmxmx, ASTORIA Oct. G. IS77 OREGON'S CHANGE. Prom the 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 Bon. G. W. Colby, the champion Gransrer 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 asa State possessing vast natural resources and offering belter inducements to set tlers than any other, of the States or Territories, "of the United States. Sympathizing with California in her unfavorable prospects lor crops lor the coming harvest, yet her misfor tune has had the effect 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 Siate; 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 ,l 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 and muscle. One of the first things that should command attention, in such a way as to insure success, is railroad communication with the rest of the world. Thousands of emigrants are kept from coming to our state by rea son of ihe 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 busi n ess ge n e ral 1 y as w e 1 1 . On r state can never become permanently 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 resourses. 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 prosperity, 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 bined efforts alone can secure the 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. Encouiiage Strangers. The fol lowing excerpt from the Statesman is worthy of reproduction. The word- ap ply to Astoria, ns well as "Walla Walla. The States-man say: "When strangers come here with means and propose to en gage in business, encourage them in all possible ways. If they cesire a lot for building purpose, sell it to them nt n reasonable rate. If they wish to establish a manufacturing enterprise, and require yater power, don'ta-k them three times as much a the privilege is worth. If you do the chance is tnat they will seek some other locality, and leave you with unpro ductive property on your hands. Owing to want of foresight the woolen mill- were driven to Dayton, and in the end have been the means of building 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 ol a mill site from Jesse Day, and built their factory at a town thai then only had an existence on paper. The surest way to build up a town is to deal lilerally with fctrangers. In the eai !y settlement ol the northwest coa-t, Orego'i-city Imd the lead and promi-ed t In the chief town in the country. 11 I'diT.-, o town lofei taking advantage o tu s, held their property at exuavagiu liuro. The result was the location o a town named Portland, and Qrcmn the old. po'try l, innme: . speculators were left out in Jj i' begets like, and if a selfish cl Ofegon-city, it may ptove t ii .tv towns. " Welcome the htrasigei w . i your gale." is an old in-juiM-no i. i ie w" dom of which is just as apiai:i no.v a when Grst uttered. Let Us w.-Um ne ?..v comers, aid them in se curi'iji loi..:on-. and in all suitable ways mak'ihcm ;eel thai we are joined with them in the bonda oi a com mo-1 hu .njamly." The love of life, the desire for health and passion for wealth, are three of the strongest laws that operate in the breast of the human family. "Wherever life can be most prolonged, health best secured, and wealth most easily acquired, there the tide of emigration and population is as Mire to flow as the needle points to the north pole. It is the growing knowledge that all this is true of Oregon that is caus ing it to nttract so much public attention and draw so many farmers, emigrants, tourists and capitalists to come and enjoy and profit br them.
