Astorians who have had the pleasure

.regret to learn that she was recently

and beauty were long since gone, and
.now her voice has left her. Her career
on the concert stage has been a long one

A private letter from W. J. cber,

Nov. 25th. informs, us that tlie writer is
in good health,ind anxious to do more
for Oregon than he can do. lie says
that the want of railroad facilities from
the Dalles to Ogden keeps this country
back fearfully. We quote as follows
from his letter: '"You have scarcely any
idea the vast amount of emigration Or
egon loses by them having to pass
through San Francisco, where they arc
obliged to undergo such trials as dis
courage a great many, and disgust them,
with the gentry and m ongolians of the
Pacific coast, for in San Francisco one
who docs not dress well and is in the
stock business, or some other light-fingered
occupation, is classed a "hoodlum.

chinaman or broadcloth-gentlemen are
bound to respect Consequently stran

as much as to say "not wanted." Or at
least they think they are.

The love of life, the desire for health
and paction lor wealth, are three of the
stronger laws that operate in the breast
of the human family. Whcrcvur life can
bo mobt prolonged, health bt secured,
and wealth mo.it easily acquired, there the
tide of emigration and population is as
stireto How as the needle point, to the
north pole. It is the growing knowledge
that all this is true ot Oregon that is call
ing it to attract o much public attention
and draw .o matny farmers, emigrants
tourists and capitalists to come tiadvtmiov
