GOLDEN FUTURE
HERE FOR YOUNG
An uddresa recently rnado hisfore
tlie Vnune Men's C'lirintUu axeouia
tion of Portland by Tom Kichardxon
4a rejili'te with wiwlom and cogent
reasons why the young man should
locate in the Northwest. The area
nients adduced hy Mr. Kichardvon ure
convincing, and aro not forth as fol
lows :
Firtit of all, the mont importaut rea
son why young men and young women
shunld soik this portion of the United
States as a permanent home is on ao
count of what I believe to be the most
invigorating moderate climate any
whore in the world, 1 base this
somewhat unou my personal experi
ouoo. for when 1 came here Home 20
months ago 1 wan pretty well UUed
with mularia arid tipped the sealos at
; 133 pounds Hinoe my arrival 1 have
been 'unite bun, and have spent
great many hoars at my desk, without
the privilege of taking as ruuou out
door exercise as 1 would have liked,
still 1 now weigh a littlo over 1UU
pounds. My health approaches per
fection, mill my appetite is all that 1
conld auk. My children, who were
jitalvM of the (lull (Jotiht country,
and tvnical children of that climate,
are today as rosy-cheeked as if Ore-
eon born, and Mrs. liichurdson has
been us much bonellttod as the chil
dren and myself. Climate is the most
important Item to every man, woman
and child in selecting a permanent
home. While it Is not, by any menus,
all the difference between heaven and
perdition, the Hiblogives it first place
in describing the joys or the one ami
tho terrors of the other.
Thero is no place whore the soil
produces more bountiful returns,
whore there is a greater abundance of
pure w ter, and with uu acceptable
climate, good soil and pure water the
butt le of life is more than mill won,
Tho best minds of tho commercial
, world Hgreo that there Into be an
enormous development iu the trade
of the Paul lie, mid thero are mora op
portunities for river transportation
throughout the section of which Port
land is the metropolis than iu any
otlior portion of the Uuitod States.
The very fact that rail transportation
i limited and that tho immediate fu
ture UHSiiros tremendous activity iu
this most Important item of material
development presents to many practi
cal opportunities for young men
throughout tie Northwest that it
seems iiunocessnry to iiume them.
Pioforo heoomiug specilic, let's say
that when we mention "young men"
wo mean capable young men, young
meu of good uioruls and good courage,
young men who have confidence in
themselves and iu their city, county,
state and country, young men who
are willing to do objectiouablo work
If It is honest, while waiting for an
opportunity to get something better.
This great Pacific Northwest coun
try is the home ol the greatest availa
ble timber supply in tho world, and
that practical, hard headed, self-made
' man, James J. Hill, president of the
(Jreat Northern railroad, which is
now building Into Portland In con
nection with tho Northern Pacific,
says that from a tin III j standpoint
one acre of good timber is oqual to
, oto hundred and eighty ucrel of
wheat. That is a startling proposi
tion that the crop of timber which
(Jail gave us mi one acre of this fer
tile Northwiiht will furnish as much
freight from one crop as will n fertile
acre sown iu wheat, the woild's great
est cereal, iu m) years, and Mr. llill
lu making this stataiuuut has told the
commercial and tluuucinl world why
it Is that tho gro.it railroads are seek
ing an outlet to the Pncillo and the
Orient with a view of helping handle
this timber before the great forests of
the Northwest are devastated.
The opportunities which will come
from the introduction of electricity
to universal transportation and 'he
many factories to be built olfers to
the young man many opportunities to
accumulate millions. I have a young
friend at Nowberg, soil of a Quaker
family, who makes a good living out
of an oleoma plant in that village. It
is possible for him to make money out
of this plant because he uses every
lossiblo common-seuso eouuomv.
liming the saw dust from one of
tho saw mills for fuel, And such op
portunities as these present theiu
selves everywhere,
in Portland from February 10th,
lOUii, until November 21 l'M, there
were issued by authority of the city
government H8i building pormits.
and the month from October Ki to
November Hi beat the record, show
ing '2H7 permits or more than 10 for
every business day in tho mouth. 1
mention this especially as it followe I
immediately alter the close of the ex
position, when so many doubters had
predicted a slump, and this particular
110 days was vital to Portland for the
reason that many people throughout
the entire o.uutlry were watching her
with a groat deal moro attention than
over before.
The throe states of Oreuon. Wush
lngton ami Idaho haro about -ill per
cent greater area than the Japanese
Km pi re. and there Is about the same
proportion of waste laud In both seo-
tlons, Japan has l,"o,iHl,ltK) people,
and these three great states have not
to exceed l.OOtUiiK).
Now I uui not ijoiog to tell the
young man who expects to be a mer
chant just where he should locate,
uor nave any advice or this Kind f r
the young man who expects to en
gage in me Hanking liiiHiiiess uor
those who foil -w any of the given
trades. Hulllce it to say, that every
bran i! h of human endeavor will devel
opo proportionately here just as they
have in other sections o( advanced
modern civilisation, it will be but a
short time when the surplus money ot
this country cau't be loaned at big
rates of iutora-t, and t hen money will
be seeking investimtit in industrial
lines.
As a boy 1 lived iu tuincy, Illinois.
We had a very large wholesale trade.
There grew up such a competition,
however, beti eu Chicago, bit. Louis,
Kansas City ami other Misourl liivor
points that our trade area became re
strioted a had to light for all the
business we neuied the money en
gaged in the wholesale business did
not pay snllloient dividends we went
into muuufui tnring. 1 he present
and the immediate future will make
it necessary that we should diversify
investments to every possible extent,
throughout the Paeitlo Northwest,
and this diversillcatiou and t he growth
which must come iu all lines otrers
openings, not only for tho right kind
of young men as employes, but as
heads of the business, who will im
prove the opportunities that are pre
sented. Are you aware that cow raised
Just outisdo the city limits of Port
land proved in competition at the
World's Pair at St. Louis that she was
the greatest butter producer in this
country, and that there ure sploudid
openings in the dairy business iu all
of its departments, and that it ran be
l..,D(.,l tn in times its nresent out
nut without danger, because the
rioniilutiou is eoiiiK to grow eton fas
ter than the dairy business? This is
true with rogan to tho production
of noultry. Then there are opportu
nities in the lalsiug of horses, in the
cattle and sheep business, in many
departments of mercantile trade, whilo
the industrial field is so rich in its
iiosslbilities that to recount even
portion of them would keep me here
talking to you all night.
We feel that our fruits, and espe
cially our Himles. prunes and straw
berries, have a world-wide reputation,
but we aro lust beuinuing this branch
of industry and 60 times the r resent
production would find ready sale at
good prices. Particularly is this true
of apples, hich command an immense
foreign markets In addition to those
sold In the United States.
Irrigation Is not a speculation any
longer, and thero are many sections
of Ureuon. Washington ana luauo
where plenty of water and good pro
ductive lauds are adjacent, and there
fore available. Even with no greater
nooulation than we have at present.
the livestock interests would mnke
the production of alfalfa upon n ii.il-
lion acres profitable.
1 have not touched upon mining,
although it is by no means one ol the
small interests or tho raeino noun
west, and whilo tbore H considerable
risk In mining, as mere must ue in
all branches of Industry that occa
sionally pay enormous returns, placer
mining, an impoitant industry
throughout many sections, gives re
turns which can bo depended upon
with almost the certainty of a payroll.
Now 1 want to tay ;o yon gentle
men present, those of you who have
an intoreBt lu the luting aiod'i unris
tlau association hate an interest lu
the upbuilding of Portland and the
growth of this portion of the United
States, and you don't w..nt to induce
young men to come here who are fail
ures elsewhere. No proco s has ever
boon discovered yet that will make
the careless, improvident boy or man
u silo- ess in any country or in any
climate, though it seems necessary
that we should have a certain percen
tage of that character of people In all
communities, The dreamer who seems
to think that money grows on trees in
some foreign land is not wanted here.
J'be character of individual to wuom
distance lends enchantment to the
view would walk by a river full of sal
mon or over land o vercd by great
f orests of tlr and pine, over soil as
rich as that of our best orchards, and
wonder how In the world be could
mako a living. To this kind ot meu
there are no opportunities 1 the Pa
eitlo Northwest, and to those of you
present who entourage such people to
come here I would any that you not
only do them an injustice, but you
are treating Portland, Oregon and the
Northwest unfairly.
Not long since 1 was present at a
dinner given lu honor of William E.
Curtis, the famous correspondent,
and at that board were the actual
working newspaper men ot Portland,
the men who build the newspapers.
Mr, Curtis opened his remarks by
laying that the day of the tramp re
porter us well as tie tramp printer
was a thing of the past ; that the news
paper writer of today was not only
well dressed and an educated gentle
man, but he respected himself and
had the confidence ot the community.
lie told i us numerous experiences,
and gave us a word of advice to bis
brother workers:' lie i cooped 40
limes rather than break faith once."
And that Is just as applicable to the
men of any other avocation.
My avocation lu lire has given me
t he opportunity of becoming intimate
ly aciiuaiuted with the prominent bnt-
iuess men of many communities, and
1 am ploitbadto say that these success
ful men, with very few exceptions,
llnd their greatest pleasure iu being
ot assistance to worthy young' men,
After you gain the confidence of men
who hare made a big mark, who have
earned their spurs in finance, com
merce or the professions, they enjoy
above everything else telling you that
they picked certain young men as
winners and have had as much pleas
ure in the success of their proteges as
they derive personally from being
winners in the battle of life. Port
land is especially blessed iu this re
gard, for most of our big men not
only accept but invite the confidence
of young men, tlo uvei lu your mind
to whom I refer 1 will mention no
names.
This la not
addressed to the sensi
tive plant, which withers at the slight
est blow it is not directed to the
young man 'Who anticipates in advance
having his feullngs hurt, and wheu
he tries to seo the busy professional
or business man feels au a If rout be
cause the man can't soe him that
special hour, for the young mau with
mettle iu hlin will go agaiu. He
must, however, buvo something to
ask for, and get to the meat of the
cocoa nut at once.
Portland is full of Institutions paid
for by her citizens. You can get
money here fo" any good cause jut-t
as readily as iu any city in the United
State-', and it is a community com
posed of meu who do tti.e things
which is always ready to extend to
the right kind of a young n an a help
ing hand.
The Northwest has not as much po
etry and sentiment as the South, it
probably lacks tho reserve of the Kast,
hut good character counts for as much
here as it does anywhere on earth,
and If a newcomer expects to bai;!i
upon his prestige gained from his
family tree, he Is counting without
his host. 1 lemembor upon one cc
casioii iu Denver, a young m; :i
whose father was a distinguished na
tional character was looking for a
position ami railed up Mr. Ia id
Moflltt, the leading financier ot tl.e
Colorado metropolis. His Introduc
tion to Mr. Moflltt was a story about
his father, about his social and fum
ily connections. When he was about
half through, Mr. Moflltt stopped
hi in nod said; "Say, young man. is
tho old man outside? If he is, rlea?o
have him come in and make his own
application I'm busy. "
the united States goes ahead as a
whole with about an equal ratio of
progress, except that there are hI
ways one or two sectious which seem
to nave tho rigl t of way. Tin t proud
Hstiuction is now tho property of tl.e
Paeitlo Northwest. The next two de
cades will see untold millions of ere
atcd wealth, and there is no line of
occupation ot investment of which
the human mind can conceive, which
is not open ami will continue open,
for young men ol real worth.
In Mad finite.
Millions rush in mad chase atler
health from one extreme of faddium to
another, when, if they would only est
good food, and keep their bowels rngu
lar with Ir. King's New Life fills,
their troubles would all pass away.

WONDERFUL TALE
FROM WENATCHEE
Spirits have been getting in their
work at Wenrtchee, where fact, ro
mance and spiiitualism are so inter
woven iu a case as to be almost in
credible unless there was something
to substantiate the fact; but W. h.
liartlett and M. O. lilack have sub
stantial proof in the shape of a bottle
of gold to prove that the find they
hav made is genuine. These two
men. actinu on the advice of a spirit
ualistia medium of Portland, have
found a lo e long hidden in the
mountains, and which was discovered
nearly 60 veari bso by Mr. liartlott's
grandfather.
The liattlctt family are all spiritual
ists, and a short tine ago Mr. Part
lott's grandfather, dead for nearly 50
rears, sent word to mm tnrougn a
medium to find the mine, which would
make him independently rich, and
gave minute directions of the loca
tion. He was told to select ra. u.
lilack, a second band dealer of Wen-
atcbee, as bis companion, macs: con
sented to no and tbey made the trip.
While they will not tell the location
of the find, they eay it is nod beyond
belief and that lbs told is practically
virgin. To prove it they exhibit a
bottle filled with metal which tests
have proven to be gold.
They state it was found in rough
and mountainous region and the ledge
is of grey quartz, literally tilled with
gold. Small pieces were broken oft
and pounded up In a f ying pan
which they had with them, i rom
this they picked stiougb chunks of
gold out with their ringers to fill the
bottle. Should the ledge prove s
rich as the samples, a man could go
into tbe mountains with a mortar and
gold pan and in a week be independ
ently rich. Tbey state the trip fs
perilous now, but that in the spring
they will return and develop the find.
The find Is not as marvelous as tbe
manner iu which the mine was locat
ed. 1). E. Ingulls, Mr. liartlett '
grandfather, was a plo eer prospectcr
and in 1HoT drifted Into locution if
Wenatohee with eight others from tho
California gold fields. While alone
one day be made a find In tbe moun
tains near Wenatchee that he consid
ered tbe greatest discovery of bis life.
lo tbe members of bis family be con
fided bis secret and tbey have kept it
as an heirloom. He went into tbe
mountains one day and was murdered
by a companlon Jack Knott. Hi
body is buried up the Columbiu,
about two and onehalf miles from
Wenatchee. Last summer the medium
communicated tbe messago to Mr,
liartlett's grandfather and lilack was
selected to go along. Although the
trip was a perilous one, the directions
were so minutely given that the men
went directly to tile spot.
Another peculiar fHCt is that tbe
family thought lngals' body was bur-
ted In Southern Oregon, until a med
ium last summer told wheie the body
would be found, and upon investiga
tion the spot where ho was buried was
exactly located. Exchange.
