AX OREGON TRAVELER.
lie Discusses Oregon's Situation From
an Eastern City. The Immigra
tion Question.
EDUCATIONAL BULLETIN ISSUED.
LOCAL NOTES.
Information Regarding the State
Teachers' Association to be
Held Here.
The writer is to-day In receipt of a
letter from a resident of this state
now traveling in the East, and he
takes the liberty to make several se
lections from the same.
"We stopped over one night at
Cheyenne, which we found to be a
very pretty city of about 5,000 peo
ple, I should judge, although they
claim from eight to ten thousand.
Her resources seem to be limited to
the railroad business alniostcutirely
now, and, unless they develop the
surrounding country, Cheyenne has
past its best days."
"Althouch I knew much of Den
ver and Colorado, yet, I confess, I
was not prepared to see such a city,
with so many signs of real prosper
ity as we found there. Denver cer
tainly contains 60 to GO thousand
people they claim 100,000 with ap
parent business to well sustain its
bustling, pushing, energetic, wide
awake people. There seems to be
no drones or mossbacks there, and
with a sublime faith In themselves
and their future, no enterprise seems
too vast, nor obstacle too great but
they take hold of it with a vim and
courage that challenges the admira
tion of all who come here and sec
what this people have accomplished,
and what they are doing to make
their city what it is The Metropolis
of the mountains and plains of the
Middle West. Iron foundries, ma
chine shops, manufacturing enter
prises, stores and hotels, with a
thousand other brunches of busi
ness give work and wages, bred and
butter, bills and bank accounts to
the deserving people. I long to see
tlic day when the people, the towns
and cities of Oregon will show the
stinc enterprise that has so fully de
veloped the possibilities of this great
Western city."
"In mingling with the people
with whom I have had the oppor
tunity, so far, of conversing, I And
butlfew that have anything but
vague and indefinite ideas about
Oregon. Most of them have their
minds pro-occupied by large stories,
oft and well told, of the wonders of
California and Washington, but as
to Oregon, they seem to only know
it as a country of which it is said
that 'there it rains so much, and the
sun shines so little, that moss and
mould cover the land and the peo
ple alike.'"
"By the judicious expenditure of a
few thousand dollars, Oregon could
be brought before the people of this
populous country (This letter, by
the way, was written from St. Louis,
and this may refer to all the Middle
West and Northwest), thousands,
yes tens of thousands, of whom,
having abundant capital and en-
epp'y, could bo turned to Oregon,
where they would help to develop
the mighty resources of that latent
empire of agriculture, horticulture
and mineral wealth, with Oregon's
immense capabilities and possibili
ties for manufacturing and com
mercial enterprises, that all going
hand in hand, might soon place it
in the foreground of the great and
grand Pacific slope."
"So far I have heard nothing of
Portland's oflbrts to advertise Ore
gon, sinco I left that city. IIopo
they do not Intend to bo content to
longer hide their light under a bush
el (ot parsimony), out that they will
till the long felt want of some plan
or system to reach tho people look
ing west for homes, and business."
The writer of the above is a close
observer, and a man of sufficiently
Keen business abilities, to no nuie to
As is probably Avell known, tho

sociation will convene and other
information. It is expected this
will be the most largely attended, of
any associatian yet neid in uregon
and that the greatest interest will be
taken in it.
appreciate the situation, in tho East,
fully. He Intended to do all tho
"campaign work" he could for Ore
gon, while gone, and his statement
of the caso is worth considering by
innnmigmtion boards.
Wants a Target Kange.
Col. T. C. Smith, commanding
the second rogimont, is very anxious
to secure a good targot range of
about five hundred yards near the
city somewhere, to be used by the
members of Ids command in prac
ticing tho use of tho rlile. Tho col
onel thinks somo person who has
ground that would bo available near
the city, might muko a donation to
the regiment of such a plat. The
writer thinks that the scheme of
establishing n target nuige Is a good
one, ud hopes some owner of va
cant proporty, near th city, will
all on and confer with tho Colonel
regarding the matter.
