Iu conversation with n prominent real estate man of this city, yester day, the writer was informed that within the past three months fully 400 men from points in the east have visited Salem with the primary object of seeking homes. Of this number a good minority have made purchases of lands, etc., iu Marion county, and had it not been for the spirit of opposition that pervades the breasts of a large number of our citizens, a much larger number would have been added to our popu lation, during that space of time, than we are able to chronicle at present. Surprising as it may seem, a large number of persons who represent wealth In the city, use every opportunity to give the city, country, and climate a black eye, and, sad to relate, they do not always stick as close to tho truth as would be expected of people of their standing iu life. For instance, a few days since a gentleman conic here from the east, with money, and n determination to buy property, and to make his home here; he had virtually purchased his proposed new home, when to the astonishment of everybody who heard of the case, a gentleman whoso interests would seem to prompt him to do his best to induce -immigrants to come here, and to make this their home, asked: "What in tho world do you want to stop any where about Snlem for? It Is the deadest town you over saw, and oven if you were to raise anything on your farm you could not sell it. Why if a man brings as many as ten dozen eggs to town,, he gluts tho market with half of them, and has to take the other five dozen home with him again." Now a great many of the residents of this city would be surprised to hear tho employment in which this man is engaged, and they would likely feel very indignant at him, and so they should. At least this gentleman should stick to the truth in his assertions about thisountry, and ho knows that tho tale he told this gentleman was very far from the truth. But this person is not alone In his open abuse of Oregon to strangers, and none of thoso who do this sort of ','mal-adwrtising" worry very much about sticking to facts in their statements. A number of men who have made all they have and some of them have amassed pretty fair fortunes in this city during their several years of residence here and who have made their homes here since tho memory of the man runs no' to tho contrary, go farther out of tlieir way to tell new-comers that all the h'story and description of the city, and county contained in tho pamphlets published by tho board of trade Is "unreliable and untruthful." That Oregon Is tho worst place in the world for a man to come to; and all such stuif as that they throw at every person that comes here, and falls In their way. Of course it is our nnstortuno mat tnose wno should take tho deepest intorofct in the welfare of tho city, and could do so much for the advancement of tho material interests of our city, should make it their business, instead of trying to help It forward, to keep it from growing and improving. The board of trade has leen mak ing a strong ofl'ort to iuduce immi gration to eomo here, and is succeed ing very well; hut after that organiza tion succeeds in attracting attention to our town, tho combined efforts of our citizens, and especially of our business men should lie directed to keep the immigrant ami home seeker here and in showing him whoro and how to make a living. If it Is such a poor town in which to make a living, the writer would like to know how those wealthy persons, who luwl nothing when they came here, became so well fixed with the Koodsof this world. The writer says without tear of successful oon- tradii tlou, that Haiem oners wore chances for investment Unlay, in vest men ts whioh will yield large returns from the start, than any other town on the coast. Also that a runner, a newcomer with fair means to make a start, can do as well or bett.T with ton, fifty or a hundred iwn- f land h. re, than any where el.- in the I'lilted Ktate. The writer wulis with interi-xt to see who will dare attempt to refute thU statement. There are two r llilee reul entute agent-lea in the ity ul- that are duiug good work iu aUviiUfcUrf our city and surrounding country, hut there are a large uuuiU-r of jieople, j the lands and nronertv of whom thoso real estate ngouta are trying to make valuable by increasing the resident population, who would "snow them under", clear out of sight, if they ould, rnd they would even go to the extreme of legislating them clear out of existence if that were possible, simply In a spirit of opposition to any sort of enterprise. This idea is wrong. These real es tato agencies, even, represent enter prise and business, and add to the number of residents in our town. A large number of real estate agencies, all delus: a irood business in a town do not signify, as a great many narrow idea peopte imagine, that everybody wants to sell and leave ; on the contrary they show that there is a healthy demand for the property of the town. Ileal es tate dealers tli not depend on resi dent population to buy of tliein. That class knows all about the prop erty, and purchase direct. But a new comer arrives and he wants to see several places before he buys. Uninterested citizens are not going to put themselves out to drive the new comer all over the country to see this farm, or that. Yet tills is what the ie.il estate man does, and at no one's expense, other than his own. The real cs'ato man says: "Conic and see, whether you buy or not." Tho real estate agent takes the trouble to show a visitor all the points of interest in a city, and gets liim in the notion to buy a home, or iuwst in prop city; tho man jroos down tho street to make the acquaintance of tho business men of Ids soon to bo adopted home, and is t.dd that "we don't want you here; there is hardly enough bread and butter here, with the tuual CO per cent profit of course, to feed ourselves, let alone you. Got out, or the baker will have to put an extra pone, at 6 cents a pone, iu the oven for you; get out, or the grocer will have to increase his stock of sugar to supply the in creased demand; if you buy property here, the sherifi will have to hunt you up to collect the taxes which arc very low, at that," and "sich." "How long, Oh Lord, lww long!" The Joukxai. is pained to liavo to make such a statement as this, and send it abroad to the world; but it sees no other way of letting the many people who do take an interest in our city's welfare, know how their efforts are being stabbed in the back by prominent capitalists, and narrow gauge business men. Wc will never be free of these enemies to progress, until the fool killer makes his round through Salem; but the enterprising ones can see the necessity of working the harder. o IKSONU.S. Col. T. C.
