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.
Eighteen thousand persons emigrated.
