home PRODUCTION AND NIANUFAcTo-
RIES.
The people of Oregon have been here
fofore peculiarly unfortunate in being
compelled to patronize foreign manu-
factories for almost every article or
Implement of machinery used by them;
but with proper management there is
10 longer any necessity for this con-
stant outpouring Of our money toenrich
foreign markets. Our State is checker
ca by the finesbstreams for water pow
ef in the world; our forests will afford
timber of every sort required; our
mines afford metals of almost every
lind, while skilled laborers are daily
hooking into our State in search of en-
ployment. With these ready aux
illiaries every community in the State
should have one or more manufacture
ing establishments in operation.-
There should be tanneries, oil mills,
Woolen mills, iron mills, foundries,
wagon factories, meat packing and
curing houses, glue factories, candle
factories, sugar factories, broom facto-
RES, lime kilns plaster mills, potteries,
manufactories for canned fruits and
Vegetables of all kinds, woodenware,
cooperage and all kinds of agricultural
Implements from garden rake to a
threshing machine. With these facto-
lies the money which we now send
nway would remain among us and
would constitute perpetual home
Ejaculation.
Of course these things cannot all be
Brought about at once; but we can
Commence by patronizing those in
dtitutions that are already struggling
into existence among US. Let us en-
courage them, and others will come in
good time. Let us buy all we can
from our own mechanics, and keep the
money here. If we have not as yet
large manufactures we can at least
carry out the principle on small scale.
IT will tell in our favor, and will more
readily solve the problem of "hard
times" and scarcity of money than all
other measures that can possibly be
resorted to.
Now, farmers and citizens generally,
DON'T read this and forget it in q day;
but remember it, and when you go to
the town or village to do your trading
inquire for Oregon made articles, and
buy them if they are to be had. Buy
home made wagons, plows, castings,
etc, etc., and thus keep your money
here where you will see it again.
A SPLENDID AFFAIR.-The festival

their finely cultured instruments, and
the festal board was spread with all
that the most eXacting OF fastidious

most charming grace, and by their
lavish and impartial smiles caused the
numerous guests to fairly rain coin in
to their yawning Golfers IVhen they
have another of these gorgeous affairs
