To tho Editor of tho Democrat, Ins !tlngfl,v Nebraska. ' ( Dear Sin I notico a copy of your paper of Hoptonibor 23(1, whicu Jinn been handed around nnd rend by a nuinbor of pcoplo here, what is so pal pably an Injustice to our community ttint I bog your indulgence for n little pace in reply. After n rcsidonco of nearly 1C years on tho Pacific Const, I um tempted for the first tfmo to writo about tho re sources of this country, I will not protend thnt Nebraska is not ono of tho gnrden spots of America, but as tljo Western slopo is undergoing n tro mendous expansion movement nnd there will bo a larger imlgrutiou to Oregon than for many years previous,! thinught somo details about our industries would Intercut liomeseekers who may bu turning their faces wostward. The Nebraska colonies already in Oregon nro very numerous. You can't say No brnskn in a crowd here, without meet ing friendly glances, nnd to wear a Ne braska button in any large gathering, means a continuous ovation and hand shaking. Bo T can say to Nebraskans if you stop oft In Oregon you nro nenr est heaven of any plaeo after leaving your own Immn, Mn holding state, county and city ofllcos nru formor No brnskans. Many of our nowsnpor men hail from your stato and I kuow of no two states (u tho Union more Intimately related by immigration ties nnd con snngutnlty than .Vebraskn and Oregon. The population of Oregon Is com prised of tho choicest immigration from the Eastern states, mostly Ameri cans. In tho past decade, wo havo re reived, n number of communities of foroignors; this ountry him soveral towus that nro mostly German, another largo settlement of Scandinavians nnd a scattering of other nationalities. 'These, elomonts nil bind together to mhke a highly prosperous community. Nerve Fag. If You Waste Your Nerve Energy, After Awhile You Will Suffer For It.

Our pselaiut will dtagnosa your caae, tell I could tnko columns of your paper to tell you about our wonderful scenery, our forests nnd mountain ranges. Largo portions of tho state aro being brought under cultivation by irrigation enterprises. Our stato has grand nnd noble rivers, finding their wny from tho mountains to the sen. Theso rivers aro ro-stocked with many vnrlulieri of salmon, forming n large part of the world's supply of this royal fish.' Our 500 milrs of coast line is indented with mnny good hnrbors, bcnutlfnl bays and delightful beaches, and sum mer resorts. Whilo in tho Eastern HtatfH It is principally the millionaires who ran a (lord to spond their Hum mers nt tho oconn, in tlregon, any family of moderate- means can enjoy this luxury on tho beautiful beachei. Your renders havo all heard of our grout timber wealth and undeveloped mineral resources. Wo nro nbout sec ond or third ns a gold-producing state, and our mountains aro rich in nttrnc tlons for tho prospector, nnd our coun try Is simply overrun with timbcrlnnd locators. Western Oregon has just ns (Ino a dairy region as any part of your state, with this dilTercHce, wo havo no freezing In winter, nnd requiro no ice in- summer. In addition to general forming, cnttlo and swlno raising, wo havo in Oregon mnny big money crops thnt produce, annually more wealth per capita from the soli than probably nny state in tho Union. What shall I say of tho glorious cli mate, tho wonderful soil, tho products, tho excellent water, abundant forosts and tho unexplored mineral wealth of this region f Your rondors would call many of my statcmtTnts fairy tales, arid I could Bpln ynras by the hour, based upon facts, that would bo classed by incredulous with tho Arnbinn Knights. I can best givo you nn iden of our undeveloped, nnd to n great ox- tent unexplored commonwealth, by saying that it is twico as big as Ne braska, having about ono-sovonth the population. Tnko with mo n birds- eyo view of tho Willamette valley, with which i happen to bo tho most familiar. There is not a finer farming region lying out of dbnrs. Tho beautiful blue Willamette river, rising in tho moun tains, tluws north into tho Columbia, ten milt'H above Portland. It takes people from tho Misslppi valley some thno to get their bearings, as tho river (lowing in tho opposito direction turns them around. Tho vnlloy is from ten to 00 miles wide, level nnd very fer tile, lying botweon tho Coast Ilunge nnd tho Cascndo mountains. We enjoy a mild murine climate, this region falling under tho influonco of tho Pa cific ocean. Our streams nro full of salmon from tho. sen nnd trout from tho mountains. Our orchards nro fain- our for their apples, pears, prunes und English waluuts, Tho finest varieties r plums reach from two to flvo times tho size they do with you, although I must admit that for high flavor und lino quality for preserves, glvo mo the wild plums of Nebrnska. All small fruits, from the strawberry to the blackberry, grow in suoh profusion thnt soiling becomes a jiroblem. Hut enn nerles nro being rapidly established, nnd our good things In this lino nro going to tho euds of the world. We grow nil tho groin crops thnt flourish hi Nebraska on n lnrgo scale, except nig corn. Hut corn is becoming rapid l.v acclimated just ns it was in North em lown nnd Minnesota. Twenty acre fields are not uncommon of early white, nud yellow dant. Corn At the great ensllago crop, being, fed Mut of liio silos is months in tho year, owlug to tho ulisonco of freezing temperature. This is nn Idonl dairying country, ns our Imtternuakers require neither ice iu summer nor artificial heat in win ter. Hut besides dairying and farm iug suoh ns you have, this region can boast of a number of big money crops, alt risen to tho magnltudo of special Industrie, Wo ship from this vicinity from four to six million dollar worth I of hops. The hopgrower produces for 9 cents a pound n finished product which he sells in advance at 22 to 25 cents a pound. Tho Burbank potato is n staple, thousands of carloads go ing from Tcxns to British Columbia, and throughout tho inter-mountain re gion. Prunes nro grown on n large scale, one firm nt Salem handling 200 carloads n season, uur nppio snip ments nro Increasing each year, few of tho choicest carloads stopping this side of New York, nnd mostly going to England. Wool nnd mohnir nro staple products. Mining nnd tho lumber in dustry nre in their infancy. Our coun ty is nt present engaged in building a wagon road into a group of mines whoso output of copper, lend and sil ver will bo simply incalculable. The forest wealth of Western Oregon hns barely had n Httlo brush trimmed oft its edges. Another big money crop is prunes. Hundreds ot cnrioaus or nncst French nnd Italian dried prunes Uro shipped nnnually. Other big money crops nro strawberries, smnll fruits, cherries, nnd Inst, but not leas, wool and mohair. Tho Angora gont thrives to perfection, and lnrgo bands of theso hardy animals nre run on rough land used to clear up brush farms, and when well handled they pay nbout 200 per cent, profit. , Now I am going to quit boasting about Oregon nnd glvo you n few ex amples of actual products that I nm personally familiar with. A fivo-acrc field of strawberries, ono nnd ono-hnlf miles east of Salem, this year, 1901, produced 800 crates that sold nt $1.25 crate, netting tho grower 85 cents. Ono hundred crates went unpicked be cause he could not hire pickers. A dairy farm of 105 acres, of less than HO acres cleared, milking 38 cows, has brought the owner $4000 iu cash for a number of years. Ills cows paid over $200 a month for cream. Ho sold :i:iS hogs in 11)02. I must tell you n lognnberry story. Seven ncres for tho first year's crop turned oft" 1523 crates that sold for $1.05 f. o. b. Another man from ono and one-third ncres sold 00 crntcs, and tho past Hummer had been very dry, cutting down tho yield nbout ono-third. I could glvo you facts about alfalfa and common roil clover, showing profit of over $50 nn ncrc, but 1 would not sturt nil your people out this wny in a bunch. I must toll you a grapo story. Wo grow all tho standard varieties, like Concord and Nignra here, and iu addition tho finest French wino grapes, which produce fro.u 000 to 800 gallon of wino per acre that sells from 40 to 50 cents per gallon, but I will not tux your patience with my further il lustrotion of tho wonderful fertility or the products of our climate. But wo havo a substantial climato and wo do not livo on our climato and tourists. Our climato is about the same as that of West England. Tho ovorgroen nnd indigeous forosts mlnglo on our hills and in our valleys tho laurel, mistletoe and rodhendendrons, ns thoy do in Virginln. Tho English nnd blnck wnb nut thrive equally. Wo havo lino pub lic sehools and good hunting nnd fish ing. Wo hnvo good roads and good roadsters. Wo havo railroads nnd stoumbout lines nnd rupidly extending systems of trolley cars. Tho steam- bouts run summer and winter on our rivers, nnd our sawmills load vessels that go to South Africa nnd South America. Wo uro on tho vorgo of the Orient nnd our country will undergo n remarkable extension. I could toll of other industries, but 1 have enumerated enough to discloso to any reasonable man that our country has a romnrka' bio vnrioty of industries and untold pog slbllities for futuro development. The young man who is not permanently lo cated iu business, tho man who is ront ing n farm, the man with a fow hun dred, or many thousands of ready money who cannot como into a now country like this und catch on to some thing thnt will mako him coutented and prosperous wouldn't nccomplisli much unywhere. I hnvo nover yet tried to conx nny of my old friends out of their comfortable, surroundings, nnd am not trying to do so now. Hut ns we nre going to havo a great exposi tion nt Portland next year In honor of tho centennial of tho discovery of this country by i Lewis nnd Clark, who blazed the way for civilization under tho direction of Prosidont Jufforson, I feel warranted in recommending them to investigate before locating elsewhere on tho Pacific Const. I would take pleasure Iu answering questions or giv ing special information to your rend ors on any matters in which they may bo interested in the West. Them is not a weok passes but truinloads of tourists arrive from tho East, and Ore gon is destined to be tho oentcr of the greatest immigration movement of this decade.

Arc We Children of Nature ? HO can but admire the beau tiful things in Nature the glory of the landscape, the trees, the meadows, the beauty of the sea and heav en I When we can admire we know that we are children of nature. The earth has nourished us through unknown ages of human existence. Is it not true that the earth supplies us with everythlnifthat we really require for existence? Wo can live on vegetables and fruifcwhlch the earth produces. We would probably be better off to-day aa a race without meat. Have you ever thought that it is probable that the earth supplied us with the means to keep our bodily vigor, our health, if we only knew it? The animals know by instinct what is good for them and will search until they find in some plant what they need for correcting iudigestion or con stipation, etc. Is it, therefore, not pos sible that there are roots and herbs sup plied by nature which will cure the diseases that afflict human kind? That is why Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., has such faith in his "Medical Discovery." Years ago, when he was in general and active practice, he found that a combi nation of certain herbs and roots made into an alterative extract, without the use of alcohol, would always put the stomach into a healthy condition, nour ish the tissues, feed the blood and nerves and put healthy tone into the whole system There are some people who can lose fat to advantage, but the loss of flesh is one of the accepted evidences ot failing health. As flesh-making processes be gin in the stomach, no naturally when thero ii.low of flesh we look first to the stomach 'for the cause. And the cause ts grierally found to be disease of the stomach and digestive and nutrive tracts, resulting in loss of nutrition and conse- auenl physical weakness. 9 - Jkt - k M. restores the lost flesh by curing dis eases of tl)e stomach and other or gans of digestion and nutrition and enabling the perfect digestion and assimilation of food from which flesh and strength are made. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery purifies the blood and en tirely eradicates the poisons that breed and feed disease. It thus aires scrofula, eczema, erysipelas, boils, pimples and other eruptions that mar and scar the skin. Pure blood is essential to good health. The weak, run -down, debilitated condition which so many people ex perience is commonly the effect of impure blood. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery not only cleanses the blood of impurities, but it in creases the activity of the blood making glands, and it enriches the body with an abundant supply of pure, rich blood. "I was nil run down, very nervous and suffered terribly from stomach trouble, which the doctors pro nounced indigestion," writes Mrs Win. Morcv. Of Marshall MIM, tir doctored for a year without perma nent relief. Was advised , by a friend to try Doctor 'y rierce a uoicieu Medical Discovery, and after the use 01 nine Dottles 1 was cured.
