AN ALBANIAN ON HIS TRAVELS
We have received a letter from Allen
Parker, dated at New York, May 20,
which contains some information Of
nublic interest. He says he found the
crops very short in California; the
farmers were cutting the grain crops
for hay in most places. In Santa Clara
and Sacramento Valleys was too short
to even NOW. In Iowa he found the
spring very backward, and plowing for
corn had just commenced. The spring
season in the Western States is at least
four weeks behind Oregon. He says:
nBefore went to Oregon | imagined
Ohio was the finest country that ever
lived in, but after coming back here 1t
looks neither natural or inviting. The
manners and customs of the people
are so different from our own Orego-
mans that do not think could ever
again become accustomed to them.
They imagine that people in Oregon
are not civilized, and great many ap
parently intelligent persons have no
idea where Oregon is situated. had
friend introduce me to wealthy
farmer in Ohio as person from Ore
gon, and the old man scratched his
head and thoughtfulIy and medita-
lively answered: 20, yes, my son went
through one corner of Oregon when he
went to Colorado" l told him
thought he went clear around Oregon.
He said he ''guessed he did, for Color
ado was long way off,"
M Parker sailed from New York |
for Liverpool on the 9th of May, and
has doubtless arrived there before this.
PERSONAL. Mr.. Burnham, agent
for the North Pacific Mutual Life AS
ISOLATION, is in the city canvassing our
people and we call the attention of our
readers to it, knowing as we do that 1t
+ is one Of the best Life Insurance Com
panys on the continent. The incorpo-
rators are Oregon men; the directors
and mapagers are residents of the
State, and there is the pleasing fact be-
sides that it is altogether home in
stitution, gotten up to benefit our own
people. There can be ne Toss to those
who insure with this company, and its
manner of issuing policies by which
each policy holder becomes member
of the Association, provides for prompt
payments of insurance at the death of
the insured. Then the terms for poll
cies are more reasonable than those of
any other company in existence; and
it is a system by which there is square
paying for value received. We notice |
some of our most prominent citizens
have taken out policies In this Com
pany.
INfPRoWNa.-The soda business
which has been conducted by A. Car
others & Co., in this city for year or
80 has increased so much that they
have been compelled to sci! their
old generator and will in a few
days receive magnificent new
one which will have capacity to gen
crate gas sufficient to charge from 800
to $50 dozen bottles. They have also
disposed of their old dispenser and will
in few days receive one which will
eclipse any other In the State. Besides
dispensing soda the same as the other,
1t will furnish three other drinks
Peruvian beer, ginger ale and mineral
water. All these improvements 60 to
show that the firm are building up
vNrr flourishing and lucrative busi-
ne4s-one which will be of great bene-
fit to themselves and en- honor to the
city.
OBSERVE IT.-Pleasure seekers can
find no better or more enticing summer
resort than Yaquina Bay. For two or
three seasons we have recreated and re-
juvenated our coporeal substance by a
few weeks sojolrn at this seaside re-
sort, and we would like to do the same
every summer. Mr.. Dixon. as will be
seen by his advertisement, runs the
stage line, tri-weekly between Corval-
lis and the Bay, and is one Of the most
careful, prompt and popular public
conveyon we ever knew. Don't for
get him when you want to go to Va
quina.
