TO THM ritONT,
Lpbonon is wide awake and nil aglow
with the brwte nf p rosperity. AVe are
informed that all of ourcnrpenters and
mechanics are engaged in Home build
iK. The sound of the hammer in
hc-urd in every direction, and the buoy
whirl of activity ia resounding iu every
corner. Lots are selling rapidly; not
much for fwcuktion as for building,
and there have been rapid salea and
J rue profits in the laat week. Our
VwiJL awake tanker, J. M. Italaton,
taught of Mrs. Welsh sixteen acres for
seventy dollars per acre and Bold the
. same In lew than five days to U. T.
Cotton for f 100 per acre. Mr. Cotton
tolls us that one year ago he could
have bought the same land for $30 per
acre. Ho It goes. The same keen eye

one mile from t iwn, his farm for $371)0,

it to Frank Moist for $4,300. There is

opportunities for investment than Leb

day scan advance of what the proper-

CHINESE LABOR..
Editor Express: I saw In your
paper of April 5 a hit at the 8. 1'. K.R.
for employing Chinese laborers on the
railroad as section hands taken from
the Pilot). Now it is very plain that
, the 8. P. Co. do not hire Chinamen be-
. cau.se they work for less than white
iuen, but because tlioy are more trusty
and are always at their pl. They
never go off on a drunken spree, but
look well to the work they have to do.
jT'l nave talked with the section boss-
and they say that they eannot de-
3end on white men. But there is a
.'class of narrow eyed, small brained,
ieaa snoumereu men, wno are always
praying the old prayer of " Lord bless
me and my wife, etc." The Pilot
peakn as though white men could not
pet work because of the Chinamen
taking their place from them. Now
lie knows, and you know, and I know
that there ia not a whlt man In the
country that is willing to work and
wants work but what can get it- There
are none of them, poorer than I, and
tuathave to depend more upon their
days work for a living than I, and I
ant not afraid to compete with the
Mongolian. The white men who are
without work are those who, if you
would offer them $10 a day and noth
nig iouo uuiaii in your parlor on a
oft cushioned chair and eat chicken
.alad and eream cake, would not take
the job for more than one meal. Their
profession is to ride on car brake
t3US and bear from ilnar in dnnr fur
.'living. Forsachmen I have a
&ereign contempt. Craw in your
. eiuows, ineuuH, ana give other men a
. chance with yourselves.
F.W.Pabkeb.
We are glad lhat F. W. P. has so
much sympathy for the Mongolian,
for in tills day of exclusion acta and os
tracision of the poor heathen, that
somebody should take his part, " but
as for me and my house," we will take
the white man first, U&L and all time.

OREOON LETTER.
LltBANO.v, On., Feb.
Mr. i;ator I saw a piece in your
paper from B. C. Main of Sodavllle, Or.
I will Just say that I have known
Main from the cradle up. I have Just
wm from hfa house, pleased to find
him improving in health, I will try
and explain a few ideas that Main dont
know. No man can come here and
know as much about th country as
Mains claims to know, in so short a
time. First, Mains has not been five
miles fiom Bodavillo since he came
here. Becoud, Sodavllle at the foot of
a mauntain and is a summer resort, is
the famous soda springs and it is as
rocky a place as you will find in the
country and lie thinks that he has
seen all of tho valley. Mains is not to
blatnsforhfc opinion, but I will bet
him $20 he has not been on the Will
amette river since he has been here.
He said that the grass dried up in July
and they had to feed until spring.
Notuensc. The grass here dries up in
August, but stock does well until
Christmas. How does that strike you
fellow farmers? My neighbor sold 100
head of cattle the other day fed from
this washy grass, Mains calls it, for
three centa per pound they were nice
fat cattle and had never eaten two tons
of hay in their lives. I have lived in
Madison county teu years, and I have
been here in Oregon three years. I am
well known in your town, perhaps too
well. Mains said in his letter that the
price of land ranged from $35 to $70 an
acre. He can buy fine farms from $20
to $30 per acre, near town, and possess
ing other advantages. Mains says
that long feeding makes butter 40 and
60 cents per pound; here is where he is
off", business men, lumber men, work
shops and foreign deuiaad takes all of
the butter and cause the high prices,
Mains had better travel over the valley
and take a view of the country and
may be he would see something besides
setting and doing nothing, as he is
right about fulling in Hodaville for they
ate to lazy to scratch their own head,
for I saw a man give another two bits
to scratch his head, but this does not
speak bad for the country. I have tried
mygtdf to get Mains to go to Albauy,
20 miles distance to see a fine business
place, but he said it was too far, it
weald cost him one dollar to make the
trip. I would say to Mains I have 30
head of cattle and they have not eaten
two tons of bay this winter, and some
of them will make good beef. Men
need not come out to Web-foot think
ing they will find fine government
land with fine houses and orchards, like
some think, for it is not here. Win.
Avery came here and tried to get him
to buy a timber-claim which would
have cost him $000, but he thought it
too much. Now the property is worth
$1,400 cash. The erection of a saw mill
on the creek near ly and the discovery
of a fourteen-foot vein of coal one mile
distant is wbut caused it to raise in
value, so you see it takes a pretty smart
man to discover the resources of Oregon
in four niontlis. As for not seeing
cattle sale since he has been here, is
because they don't buy cattle at Soda
ville. If he had cattle to sell or want
ed to buy, he could find all he could
pay for, and as for no trading going on
bless his heart every body is a trader
Mr. Editor I don't know aa I ever
fawyou, nor don't care If I never do, if
you will just print this for me, as I am
anaturalized Web-foot, and ifyou come

you on good trout and buck meat.
JSow, gentlemen, If ymi want as fine
a climate as you ver lived in, a id as
fine soil as you ever tilled, and as line a
fruit country as ever you saw, and as
fi nc water as you ever drank, and as fine
timber as grows, come out to Web-foot
and bring three or four thousand in
stead of three or four hundred dollars,
and if you don't find Just what you
wantcall on Mr. Cyrus, Lebanon, Ore
gon, and if he don't fix you I will set
them up.
Mr. Editor, T will quit, and If this is
published I will feel proud, as this is my A. R. Cybcs.
