Paul Schu'ze Interviewed.
san Francisco, March 20.-In an
interview witt Paul Schulze, he
stated that since his arrival from
Portland, he had been gratiiied to
ltain that considerable interest was
manifested i'll connection with the
advan 'emeDt Of the northwest. In
conversation with prominent citizens
of this city, he was assured that the
liyelle>t interest was taken IN all that
referred to the growth of the country
and that III several individual cases
this Interest had been productive of
numerous prospective investments.
As an example of the fact that the
Resources Of the northwest are at
tracing attention III commercial
centerS, he stated that within a few
days he has been waited upon by re-
>ponsihle parties who desired to
establish agencies for the sale of
lands Ill Oregon and Washington
Territory. Prominent farmers from
C"lusa county, which is the largest
grain producing section III California,
haC slgnltied their intention OF i,nmi-
grating to the latter place, and with
this object III view had purchased
SIX sections of land, and entered
into arrangements for the purchase
OF six additional sections. They pro-
posed improving the property so
acquired during the coulng summer,
and would leave no etl'Jrt uutried to
make the investment remunerative
in an artistic and financial sense.
The reason assi gned for this remark
able interest in northwestern lands,
is the failure of rain i'll California to
insure a prospect of fair crops.
Farmers generally are not disposed
to GLOW the opportunity of lettering
themselves to pass unnoticed, aud
consequently have taken every
means to provide against future
droughts by immigrating where
crops are reasonably certain. The
same interest is manifested in other
Industries, as exemplitied 10y the
action of the numbering interests,
which draw their supply principally
from Washington Territory. He
recently received intelligence that
quite number of prominent lumber
men from Wisconsin desired to
locate in northern timber districts,
and had already taken steps toward
immigrating there during the coming
summer. Local capitalists entertain
the most favorable opinion of the
real estate market of northern lands,
particularly so in regard to land
situated in the vicinity of Spokane
Falls, Seattle, and other points Oh
the Northern Pacific. The couple
ton of the railroad was regarded as
promoting the commercial develop
ment of the entire coast, of increas-
ing exchange of products for the
reason that whatever Immigration is
directed to the coast redouuded to
the benefit of The several Pacific
States, and, therefore Oregon is as
much interested ill the settlement of
California as people of this State.
In this respect the interests of these
two States are identical. In his
opinion, citizens of San Francisco
must leave aside their provincial
views as to the prosperity of the
whole coast. Instituting a oompari-
son as between advantages offered by
the respective States, he said that
Oregon and Washington possessed
material inducements which should
direct the course of prospective set
tiers nOrthward. Lands were easily
available at much more reduced
figures than could be found in Cali
fornia, with perfect titles and assured
crops. Another important consider
alton Is that new investments in
Oregon and Washington Territory
do not call for such an outlay of
capital. Their immense diversity of
resources were also seductive points
for attention of immigrants. The
difficulty of locating or even pur-
chasing available tracts of land in
California, without the usual dis
couraging feature of contested Mex
lean grants, made the country IN.
popular with immigrants. The Gull
ture of the grape i'll California was
truly an immense interest, in which
personally he had great faith.
