Il is cheering to notice tho rapid strides thai
| our aister Pacific State is making in the lireo:
ton Of healthy and permanent prosperity.
The construction OF q trunk railroad through
her central valleys. from the Columha. to the
California line, soon to be connected With the
| Pacific railroad, both by way Of Idaho and
this State the multiplicaionof manufactures
4 and natural products the enlargement OF
hnrno commerce The groater amount Of land
under cultivation; tho growth OF towna and
demand for land, and the influx Of immigra-
tion-thcEe arc all circumstances which the
telegraph reports daily, and which make up a
record Of substantial progres0. Tho fact is
that oregon, IN common with California, Ia
lust entering on career Of such prosperous
OF tho A1lEsiseippi States in tho decade follow
1ss0; This was delayed twenty yoars by tho
remotencs1 and isolation which have been
ended at last. aud by tho completion Of tho
Pac fie Railroad and tho construction OF local
branches.
There is no moro orderly and economical
State IN tho Onion than Oregon. AL ita
growth has been gradual and healthy. for
Mll1le 1t possesses great mineral resources,
1t has never been demoralized By great mining
e1ctements. With an area larger than that
Of FennsylEania and Now York combined, half
OF which is adapted to agriculture and grazing
purposes, and the remainder valuable for its
famous timber, it has yet scarcely 120, 600 in
halitAnts,. and not over 6 per cent OF its
arabic iand1 have passed into private owner;

series OF valleys, well-watered, fertile and pic
tutcsque. 1t is great wheat State. Its ap-
ple orchards are not equalled anywhere iu tie
East, and its climate favors groatcr variety
Of products than my Of the Northern States.
It has mines Of iron and coal, ns well as Of
gold, silver, copper and lead.
Such State is good one to advertise; and
VIC are glad to know that the Board OF Statis-
tics, Immigration, and Labor Exchange Of
Portland is advertising it in very honest and
effective way. The publication Of pamphlet
Of aixty-tuo pages, treating conprehensireIy
OF tie State as an agricultural and commercial
region, and giving succint information about
its climate, people, markets, price of lnud,
wages, cost and routes Of travel, industrics,
resources and improvements, is work in the
right direction. It il evident that California
stimulating emigration westward the gain Of
one " Ill be measurably the gain Of tho other.
The: rnilroad will aoon unite them and make
their intarests ncar1y identical.
Tho above is from the San Francisco Bulle-
lin. Oregon unqucstionably has tho agricultural,
the commercial and tho mineral resources to
make her one Of the most prosperous States
in tho Union her climate ia most inviting,
and her scenery is in some respects superior
even to that Of California. Persons who would
