Let us continue this kind o. woik. Write a personal letter to your friends in the East. Tell them of the almost limitless wealth our State has in its timber and mines, wheat and hay, cattl^ raisin g and fruit growing, and various farm products. Show them the advantages of our climate, describe to them the beauties of our scenery, urge them to take advantage of the colonist rates in effect from September 1st to October 31st from all points in the East. Get them to visit Oregon and |! see for themselves. I heard the other day of a young ; Quaker who wrote back to his father, telling him of the wonderful size of the | berries and farm products in this coun try. He told him that the bark of the Sequoia Gigantica tree was 24 inches thick. The old father wrote to him and said, 'My son, I regret that thee hath rallen into the habit of lying along, with other Westerners. You know the bark of no tree could be so thick.’ The son, upon receipt of this letter, went and got a large trunk of bark 26 inches thick. He expressed it to his father in Pennsylvania, C. O. D. It cost the old man $14 to get it out of the express office, and when he looked it over, he sat down and wrote: ‘My son John: Thee need not prove thy statements any more. It is too expen sive. We will take thee at thy word.’ Let us not be afraid of exaggerating the advantages of our State. Let us tell the truth, and let us invite in this personal way our friends to come to Oregon. It will fill up our State with the very best class of people, and give unto us citizens who love to live under Christian influences and believe in good government.” Teachers' Examination.
