i-AK Cavitai. JoritXAi.: There
are several parties in this neighbor
hood w ho desire to go to Oregon,
but the great trouble with farmers is
to dispose of their stock. There is
really iu sale Tor It here. Kindly
inform u in regard to the prices of
work horse, milch cows, en., as we
are desirous to know if It w ill pay
to ship them from here. We rend
the C.U'itai. Joi'itXAi. and It
makes our mouths water to read oj
the wonderful fruits of Oregon.
Respectfully,
R.J.
This means of making our reply
Is tuKen, in the hope that It may
reach the eye of anyone eUe who
may desire information of a like
diameter. Answering in u general
way, the mual expenses nf living
are about the same as in the eastern
state-, perhaps a trille higher.
Oregon's own productions which
are consumed at home, are as cheap
as ol-ew here. House rents are low,
as nre alio farm and land rents,
Good milch cows aie worth about
$30 each, and horse average f 200 a
span. Cultivated soil rents for $1.75
per acre and grain rent is one-third
of crop. We have the purest run
ning water and plenty of timber.
Itis not an uncommon occurrence in
the Willamette valley to see .wheat
yield 40 nild 50 butihdls (o the acre,
but of courso tho average Is much
less. It is wortli about 75 cents and
u crop failure is never know. Oats
yield 40 and 50 bushel and often a
hundred, weigh 50 pound to the
bushel and are usually worth about
30 cents. Barley, rye, corn In fact
anything grows abundantly and of
tho very best kind.
Come and see us and live a little
of this life as you are passing
through for tho last time.
