Thi. item of news We copy from late
Oregon paper. -Four factories are already
in operation in that State, all doing well.
What should this teach us
A few months ago our people all at once
appeared to awaken from their lcthargy.
We were to have factory-that was do
cided upon; the "wind-work" was done,
and that, too, thoroughly; the only thing
wanted was a practical man to head the
enterprise he is finally found, but 10 ! and
behold the ardor ofthe people is abated,
and the project suffers another collapse.
We sometimes wonder if ourpeople ever
think of the immutablc laws which govern
cause and effect; ifthey ever observe what
is going on around them, in Our sister
States and Territories, and the means
that have led to such successful results
and placed them upon basis Of perma-
nent prosperity. If they have not, they
should do so now, and profit from exam
pie. We want a little enterprise, to set
the ball of progress in motion. We have
no mineral resources, comparatively, this
side the mountains, to bring us into notice
and draw hither the enterprise Of the hardy
miner. We have not the same element
Of strength. to give US start, which Cal
ifornia had, that gave her mo mentum
placing her in advance of older States !;
but we have all the elements which pro-
mote and sustain permanent growth.
We have resources at our command that
ore not of doubtful utility, and to the de-
velopment of these We should turn our at
tention. We need few live men in our
midst-men of moderate capital, and what
is far better, practical expericnce-men
who do not owe their success in lite to
luck, thrust upon them-men who are not
tortured with fears when they invest a few
dollars that they may not from the outset
bring in the two per cent. as regularly
a. the months roll around. If we
wish the country to fill up, we must
make it attractive, aud open branches of
business in which all may engage. One
would certainly be unwise to remove
from q comfortable home to a country
where no lucrative pursuits are open to the
hand Of industry.
If 1--WE had built the much talked-of wool.
on factory five years ago. We would be now
just five years ahead of what We are on
the road to prosperity. We care nothing
fe Tie mere matter Of dollars and cents
involved in it, cost. or the profits it will
put in the pockets Of its owners; they are
ziAiag when eoupafed with the prrma-
ssney and stability impaired to ever,
