In referring to the beneficial efec Is Of tD- '"ise
immigration, the Statesman has the following chez.
ing language The effect OF the ingress Of so many
thousands into Oregon, is visible everywhere, from
one end Of the valley to the other giving air OF
life and business to city which we have never be-
fore witnessed; We observe, too the effect the i'm

Oregon-has worked like charm upon those crusty
disciples OF Zimmerman Their faces look smiling;
their wardrobe is now carefully looked after; and
their wrinkles and burrows are smoOthed down to
bland faces. We are disposed to think on the whole
that if this state Of improvement continues that Ore

second to that in the Sates-we will continue to hope
to at any rate.
NORTH oREGoN--puaEr's SOUND.
The Olympiam is warmly urging the importance
of division of Oregon Territory, and appeals ener-
geticay to the inhabitants to attend the convention
called for the 25th November at Monticello to take
the question into consideration Speaking Of the
The The Columbia river forming our proposed bounda
ry the south and east up to the fOrtynin para
lei of north latitude would include within our iuris
dicton the beautiful and fertile valley of the Walla
the far-lamed and magnificent Selfish or Flat Head
country, east of the Cascade Mountains, which, tOge
Their with the country the west side Of those noun
tains would constitute sufficient scope Of territory
to form State admirably circumscrbed, and Of very
desirable dimensions. With the Pacific ocean on our
west the British on our north and the great
Columbia river as aforesaid, what stronger natural
| boundaries arc necessary to mark Just claim for
independent territorial existence, and future State
sovercigntyI Pugct's Sound, the great commercial
thoroughfare for Northern Oregon, and the several

! ocean, 1.-THE Chickeeles, Duwamsh, Snohomish, &c.,
draining our entire interior, furnish ac les unsur-
passed by any region Of country In the world for the
safe, cheap, and speedy shipment Of all articles OF
produce manufacture our people may ever have to
dispose Of and which may be demanded by TO
reign market.
The immigration of the present year are vending
their way into Northern Oregon at slow but steady
pace, and which, no doubt, will be increased ten
fold as soon as the rains The vacant houses
in all our towns are being tenanted, and we con-
stany hear OF the occupation OF CLAIMS the erecuon
of houses, and preparations in progress for putting
in crops for the coming year. This is very lmpor-
tant Too much land cannot be put into immediate
cultivation to supply the future wants OF our terri
tory.
10 those unacquainted with the character of our
climate says the last Olyn,pian-in the Willamette
Valley as well in the States-who wish to profit by
statement Of facts would remark, that the rainy
season commences variously from the middle of Oc-
tober to the middle of November, and continues I'M
iii the middle Of March or first Of April, the grass
maintaining its verdure throughout the winter II u
can be so called. From the time OF the first Amerl-
can settlement made here up to the present. the mer-
curry in Fahrenheit's thermometer has but once been
as low as fifteen degrees-the general average for the
winter months being from twenty-five to forty fotlr
degrees. Ice here has never been known to exceed
an inch in thickness, or snow to remain on the
ground at any one time longer than fortyeight
hours. So much for the bugbear about our winters
AS for providing provender for stock, our farm
ers never think Of such thing, and their cattle
are as fat, summer and winter, as those tnat are
stallfea ~ accyy or the States. The Hudson lsy
Company own from ten to fifteen thousand head OF
cattle ae sheep which from year to year nave pa osel
unattended and unprovded for aiording as delicious
