An- fclm J J. IJrowti. from which we make the following extracts : The trial of raining ostriches In the Uni ted .States Iiiih proved ho successful that the business may no longer he regarded iih 1111 exiierlment. Anil whnt in more, the time Is soon com ing when many a family living in the warmer climates of our country will have a pair or more of these magnificent birds about their home. They will serve not only as oriiu inentH, like deer in private parks, but they will be exceedingly profit able on account of their plumage. My visit yesterday to the famous ostrich farm at the town of Kenll woith, seven and a half miles from Los Angeles, allbrdcd me one of the most Interesting sights I have ever seen on the I'acille Coast. It Is sit uated ill tlm Los Fells valley, shel tered by the Santa Monica range of mountain". The natural beauty of the location and the live oaks, some of the prettiest in California constantly attract the attention of visitors, although the place was se lected solely on account of the equal temperature there, making it most favorable for the ostrich business. The farm Is owned by an English syndlcnte and Is managed by Mr. John A. Mradley, a gentleman from Australia. Ostriches were brought to California tlrst in 1HH.I from Cape Town, Africa, by Dr. Sketehley. Ho Is in the United States at the pres ent time, and the San Francisco pa pers report that he lias lately pur chased two thousand acres lu the Sacramento valley, where he has commenced an ostrich farm on a large scale. A fact which few jk'o- plc know Is that these birds are har dy ami can endure cold and fiosty weather. Wherever grass will grow the year around there they will thrive. The pirtles concerned in tins new movement think they have a great future before them. About llfty ostriches are found here in Inclosures formed by three or four rows of common boards. As the blrdseaii not jump or liy, any thing they can not step over will answer for a fence. Whllu walking about the corrals, the ostriches come up and are eager for fiMsl, but they do not make the slightest noise. They can do so, however, for at night they make 11 sort of barking which is heard at quite a distance and sometimes all over the region. The breeding birds are a very line lot. They are the very choicest specimens (hat money could pur chase. Ponm of theo male birds will weigh -7.1 iMiunils, and when stand ing on tiptoe, with head erect, will measure quite eight feet high. I was told that 1111110 were lost in bringing them across the ocean, ltcMirts of their lielng unable to stand the voyage are untrue, for not the slightest dllUculty lu that Hue Iiiih ever lieun ejqierKinced. lu one of tlm yards I saw an os trich sitting upon sixteen eggs, and in another yard a brood was liclug hatched. They are also brought out by lucuiuitorH with Miceess. One of the little ones had Uvu taken from the nest and placed outside where visitors could see It. I took It up, and uslt squirmed to get away It was as strong as it goodixcd chicken. The hen will lay from eight to eighteen egg before slttlnir: and If the eggs are removed as fast as laid ami a nest egg substituted cording to nuality and condition.

By blind folding it is quite cutty to keep him tinder control and pick the feathers without injuring him. Although viciously disposed, they beg for food mint wTiinlngly. First they toss their wings about, as if to drive oil ilies. They ikmi their mouths and follow you along the fence, reaching out their long necks. If you wait 11 little to test their im portunity they will sit down and raise their wings, sway their bodies and pound their heads from side to side. Now reward one by throwing him a big orange and lie quickly gulps 11 uiiwn wuoic. wiiiie it is retained in the neck, slowly work ing down, he will stretch his mouth with another, and so on until you can see four or five bunches where the oranges are working down his neck nt the same time.

The follqwing facts nbout Oregon and its resources we gather from published correspondence : To the new comer from the At lantic coast to the Pacific, as well as to thoe coming from the Interior of the continent, accustomed, ns they have been, to the rigors und fluctuations of 11 continental climate, the oceanic climate of Oregon will be a revelation. To the Englishman above referred to, who so passionate ly legrctted that Oregon was not a British province, there was nothing strange about It. It reminded him of the work of the gulf stream on his own island.

The getter up or a club of paid subscribers can have his choice of a city lot, a piano forte, a sewing machine, a Webster's dic tionary or a county map. As such a prize requires capital and labor, and farmers and business men have no ambition to shine as book can vassers, such oilers have slight In terest. Rut the oiler of the publish ers of tlm Capital .Iouhnai, comes homo to the business and bosom of every newspaper reader.

It is perfectly safe to say that for the hardy ami industrious of both sexes, men and women who order their lives ns seeking the best results attainable, Western Oregon, em bracing that vast region from the crest of the Coast range to the tidal shores or the sea, from the Califor nia line to the Columbia river, oilers rare Inducements. A recapitulation of the industries already established is not out of place. Fisheries, em bracing salmon for the home market and for export, llifunders, halibut, rock and lime cod, herring, smelt, oysteis, crabs, clams and a do.cn other varieties; lumber, cedar, spruce, fir, myrtle, jdder, maple and asli ; coal mining, dairying, stock raising, fanning, fruit growing, bee culture, practically all the minor in dustries afford a wide, a diversified, a profitable field of operations. Practically, moreover, soil and mine and forest and sea, so far as the in dustries which are to be created from and fostered by their iwe and development, are In a state of In fancy. There is nothing far-fetched or illusive in this statement. Where these Industries support ten human beings now, they will inevitably, in the very nature of things, support thousands In the future. In the matter of fruit growing it may be taken for an Incontroverti ble fact that applet), jiears, plums und prunes and all the berries find a thoroughly congenial homo in this coast region a reasonable distance back from the water line. This proposition was long since takeu out of the experimental stage. Not any more than any other region Is the one under consideration exempt from occasional failures, but, both for home Use and the supply of mar kets both homo and foreign, the probabilities are all In favor of profit able rewards to Intelligent industry applied to the cultivation of the soli in this direction. -THE- GREATEST BARGAINS -EVEH OFFERED IN- General Merchandise ! -BY Till Capitol Adventure Co., Opera House Corner, Salem. 8-29-dw-tf THE BEST STOCK OF STOVES IN THE CITY IS AT R.
