emigrants were healthy. 1t was said
that trappers, who lived in filth, with ma

country. People who 60 there would
enjoy reasonable prospect of living to
mature age in the healthy and energetic
exercise of their physical powers. He.
believed it to be a fact that the climate
of Oregon impaired an energy to mans
/ physical system, which enabled the mind
to enjoy life, in the full meaning Of the
term-the counterpart of the influence of
| the climate east the mountains upon
the physical and moral energies of man.
/ Sd. The climate IS mild. The facts
in this case we're generally known. In
summer the heat was not oppressive, and
the nights were agreeably cool. The
labors ofthe farmer were not impeded by
/ the frosts or SHOWS, of winter. Scarcely
was the ground ever covered with snow
10 last more than day, or the earth
frozen to the depth of more than half an
| inch.
Sd. No stall feeding of stockis neces-
sary. The cattle fatten quite as fast, or
faster, on the wild nutritious grasses in
winter, than they would do on fodder or
grain. No better beef can be found than
that of the Willamette valley. Horses
fed on the grasses in winter, can do and
i perform the hardest service. Sheep
flourish well upon it all seasons of the
year. This is proved by the fact that ma
ny ofthe ewes have lambs twice in twelve
months,

age and over, or widow, is entitled 70 $40
acres of land. Considering that the Wal
lamette valley must soon be settled by a
hardy, intelligent and enterprsing people
that it must be the granery for a most ex,
tensive regioa--such an amount of land,
well selected and improved, will in a few
years be a handsome estate TO any indi,

! 1t has been said that Congress would
not confirm the grants Of lands made by
the Oregon government. The lecturer
said, Congress or no Congress, these
grants would be sustained. The pioneers
who cross the mountains and open the
road to Oregon and suffer ali the priya-
tons of settling the country, richly deserve
this boon; and those pioneers will sustain
their rights. 1t was the interest of the
people here to do justice to the population
of Oregon, and he felt no apprehension of
! wrong fromthis quarter. s
i The young man or the old man, or the
widow who, reaches Oregon with means
to open and improve farm, and does so
securing to himself or herself640 acres
i of land--is RICH!
+ But there were disadvantages in the
settlement of new countries. Among
them might be counted the want Of schools
mills, merchants, markets, money, &C.
disadvantages known to the settlers few
cry new country, They are felt in Ore
egon, but they are disappearing as rapid
ly as in any newly settled country. In
suffering these deprivations and incon-
veniences for short period, there was
one great redeeming fact to be consid-
ered--the emigrant is likely TO enjoy
good health.
