Oregon.
Within the past week, according
to W. G. Ide, manager of the land
settlement work of the Portland
and state chambers, more than a
thousand letters have been sent to
middlewestern farmers who wrote
during the past year that they in­
tended to come to Oregon but who
have not since reported migrating
to this state. Practically 100 per
cent return is being received in
reply to this follow-up caiqpaign,
with enthusiastic responses pouring
in daily bringing reassurance of the
continued interest of the prospects
in Oregon.
“We shall never be
satisfied until we have a farm in
Oregon,” is a frequent assertion of
these future Oregonians who are
biding their time until their af­
fairs in the mid-west can be set­
tled so as to enable them to come
west.
Not unusual in the mass of let­
ters received is one containing the
names of a dozen farmers in Col­
orado all of whom desire literature
and information on Oregon and who
intend to come here.
One. of the most gratifying fea­
tures of the work, according to Mr.
Ide, is the fact that through select­
ive methods of correspondence and
elimination of undesirable prospects
the average investment of newcom­
ers has been raised to $7000 where­
as earlier in the campaign the avail­
able capital averaged $4000.
