Farm hands, $73 a mouth aud board.
Carpenter- $8 a day. Female domestics
$10 a week and board.
Such were the figures paid in Marion
and Linn counties in 1850, nil of which
goes to show that tho wags of the
present day were those of about 70
years ago in both counties.
One of the rarest books in the state
library and one especially prized by
Miss Cordelia Marvin, state librarian,
is the original schedules of tho .United
States census taken iu Oregon In 1850,
1800 and 1870.
These original census books were sent
to Washington, D. C, and after publi
cation, returned to the Oregou slate li
brary. For this fart of the stutc, the
records wrre made and signed by the
famous Joseph Meek, who hud so much
to do with the early history of Oregon.
In making the census of loO, under
the head of social statistics, there was
noted the various wages paid, nut only
in Marioa county but throughout the
state, showing quite a difference in the
counties of the Willamette valley.
For instance, the farm hand was paid
$7,1 a month and board i t Linn county,
but for Marion county, the ctnsus re
port of 1S30 shows he was paid only
$.'i0 a month with board thrown in.
