To the ImmigratiOn.

To as many Of the immigration as consd-
er they have got "value received for the
s., unnghteou.ly exlortcd from themselves
and suffering families for the privilege OF
looliar at the Willamette valley, without
being able 10 procure desirable tempora'
ry abiding place, and wish 10 pursue their
way to some locality where desirable lards
can be procured without money and with
out pricc''-we would recommend them TO
move Immediately into the Nlw territory
Of northern Oregon.
From the Cascade mountains 10 the Pa
cifc ocean, and from the the Columbia riv-
er to the 4gth parallel Of north latitude,
the immigrant can scarcely 90 amiss in the
location Of a home, where, in few years.
he will have not only competency for the
present, but the groundwork firmly estab-
lished that will insure an abundance in af-
Ter life. Beautiful prairies invite bis foot
steps hither, presenting facilities for easy
cultivation, and which will afford abundance
of pasturagc for his stock, both Summer and
winter, without subjecting him 10 a six
months toll each year, in providing for their
subsistence.
As the immigrant passes up the Cowlitz,
he will find desirable claims on either side,
back from the river much of the country
abounding in valuable coal mines and excel
lent timber. Persons with families and
freight should not attempt the navigation of
this river, as we have before observed, with
out sufficient means Of transportation and
assistance.
On the road TO Olympia, and between
the Cowlitz river and the Chickeeles, there
is much valuable unoccupied country, Of
which the citizens Of Warbassport, and the
inhabitants on the road will cheerlully i'm
part all necessary information.
On the Cbickoeles river, half way be-
tween Cowlitz landing and Olympia, both
up and down, and on both sides-a distance
of seventy or eighty miles from the road
to where it empIies into Grey's harbor, there
is a most magnificent and fertile country,
with large and delightful prairics, superior
timber land, and the liver furnishing abuad,
ant and available water power. The coun-
try bordering on Cape Quenoth, and be-
tween that and Cape FIatiery, there is a
large extent Of country interpreted with
prairies, which is entirely unoccupied, and
well adapted to farming and grazing.
The valleys of our various stIeams-tbe
Scocomish, De Shules, Nesqually, Stella
COON, Puyallup, Duwamish, Snohomish,
Stellyquamish, Scarget, CoIlubbia all Offer
superior inducements for settlement and
many Of them possessing water power, unsur-
passed by any in the world. The settle
ments al Me different places throughout the
territory have heretofore progressed very
slowly, and in the immediate vicinity Of the
Cowlitz, on the Chickeeles, ,Whidby's Island,
&C., there is still plenty of vacant land.

settler speak disparagingly of our territory
in any respect, or eyince desire to change
his home here for one in the Willamette,
aad We feel quite sure that when those who
may arrive here this fall shall become COM
fortably settled, they will have as little de
sire to seek change.
The difficulties attendant upon getting
here HAVE been overcome, and CAN NOW be
sarmonnlcd much more easily, and with less
peril and suffering thar that which had to
be undergone by the old pioneers of our
territory. The immigrant can be assured
at least of one thing, if the task of joining
cur settlements is laborious and fatiguing
we have no "ton gate" on the way de
mandiug So for the privilege you may en-
joy Of [" working your passage" nor will
you ever be put to the trouble on your ar
rival of showing your ticket" or receipt
