would most earnestly al them TO pause
ind-aent, AMI hear our argument ia favor Of
his new Territory, and tIic superior aIraa-
tags possessed B.. ihi. region # country
over ANY other, at present uuoccapied, Ell
iher in Oregon o. California, for tn. farmer,
mechanic or capitalist. --
The rainy SEASON /, fl enough removed
fom ia, present time, to afford all, WHO
may desire, ample opportunity to pursue
iaeir way 10 the country Oh ile Sound, and
avail themselves o. an advantageous losa-
hon.
"Coms, let us reason tg-,her" The
Willamci'oEal.ey j. already full; al lhr
fir,t, second, third and fourth rat, claims, axe
occupied, and b ing improved; and will
,ol, who have suffered the toll and priya
tons Of a two thousand miles journey, in
search Of d desirable home, cons,at to tax,
she refuse lands Of al who have arrived be-
fore you; Be assured i. you expect 10 pro
cue an eligible location in any pant Of the
Willamette, you will have 10 pay as deerly
.or it as YOU would have hal 10 pay for re-
al estate in the states from which you came.
Wei, yoa viii 20 into the Umpqua, Rogue
River or Shasta valleys. Reco.lect that
large immigration has preceded you in all
these places, who hayeseull,d cut all the
garden spots, and lsa as your Inheritance,

vhrre viii you realize the cash for what
you proiue- 10 b. sure the laborers in,
the mines will furnish good home market,
ias FAR as th-lr necessities may require, but i,
there any reasonable probabily that they
uilFcve- be able 10 consume any considera-
bic portion Of the surplus o. the thousands
Of farms which will be opened in that re-
gion And alter supplying the wants Of
nj, how will you dispose of the remainder /;
The Willamette river is at present, and
will, il al probability for the next fifty
yrFss, furnish the only outlet 10 the surplus
produce, and market for southern Oregon;
and such transportation from the Umpqua,
Shasta, &c, viii cost almost as much as
their produce will command.
We assume then, in the first place, that
those who desire 10 s.tlle adyantageously in
The Willamette, will have to pay dearly for
their locations, and in the second, that those
who purpose going into the other valleys
designated, will have 10 content themselves
with such lands as have been refused by
those in adyAnce Of them, and without an
adequate or oonvcacnl market.
In the territory north of the Columbia,
there arc lens Of thousands Of acres OF the
choicest lands unoecCpied, and awaiting the
sulduing hand of the agriculturalisl. The
Sound, the safest haTlor in the world, is
capable Of being made market, at conve-
niert intervals, along It's entire length of
.wo hundred Hiibs. The lumber trade of
tie Pacific coast, and eventually of the
Sandwich Islands, Japan and China, will
seek their supplies through Pug # Sound
The recent d coycri,s Of INN .use coal mines
convenient for shipping, Will, as soon as
they are properly opened, afford employ
meni 10 thousands, and bring 10 thc Sound

made By eosgTess for the establishment Of
dry doek, so.ns place. on the Pacific coast,
aud all must admit ihatthe Sound can urge
the slronges. claim for its erection, at some
point between Olympia and the Straits Of
San Juan de Fuca. Before The next immi-
grafton, we have every assurance 10 believe
that road will be consirucied' across the
Cascade mountains, whereby the immigrants
can come directly into our beaa,iful and
ic.tile praiFies, and still further, help in
the formation Of NEW STATE, uoIth of the
Columbia, lo.' such this Territory is destined
10 become, ih accordance with the land
