A SUGGESTION OR TWO.

l
A SUGGESTION OR TWO.
We take from the Yaquina Post
an article on the subject of establish
ing manufactures and the building
up of a place. We sincerely ask our
people to read this carefully and con-
|sider the same with the view of ap-
plying what is therein said in regard
TO the building up of woolen fac
tory and bringing a good water ditch
into Corvallis and the establishment
OF other improvements throughout
the county. A county improves in
proportion TO the eXertion of her
people to establish valuable and per-
manent improvements. The estab-
lishment Of manufactures is univer-
sally conceded TO afford the most
permanent prosperity to any people.
There is no place on the coast that is
any better adapted to manufactures
than Corvallis and the remainder. OF
Benton county. On this subject
the Post says
ga community or country that pro-
duces. nothing preys upon itself, and
viii. sooner or later, play out; therefore
every community must be a produ-
Ger to the extent, at least, of self
preservation. One Of the efficient
means in building up and making a
community solid, is the establish
ment and maintenance of manufac-
turies in it's midst. The establish
ment of one useful industry attracts
others. The first beginnings may be
small and even insignificant. but with
perseverance, industry and economy
the output increases from month to
month, is expanded and enlarged
until it eventually assumes magnif-
cent proportions Capital is soon
attracted, and other useful enterprises
are easily inaugurated and, as rule,
upon much larger scale than the
pioneer industry. These are facts
that can be attested in the experience
of any observant man.
Here on the Bay opportunities are
quite numerous for the establishment
ct manufactures and Industries that
would soon prove profitable invest
mentss to the undertakers. Ifcapital
is lacking at first, go Slow; make
beginning, determined to succeed;
be industrious and economical; keep
out Of debt; be at your place Of bus
mess during business hours, and do
not fritter away your time in idle
gossip, dissipation, or in cursing the
country or your "luck"--fortune fav-
ors the man Of energy. industry and
pluck, especially in new and grow
ing country.
We believe that some mechanic
who understands the manufacture OF
household furniture, ETC., is indus
trious and obliging, and DESTROYS of
pushing his way in the world, could
do well here on the Bay. So with
many other enterprises that might
n,
coal interests here that ought to- be
developed. that would return bushels
of coin to those who controlled them.
There are many other inviting
fields~to real 'sget up and git" bust
mess men on the Bay and in it's
vicinity, which will be occupied scon-
er or later, because they are so ap-
parent that they are certain to at-i
tract the attention of the observant
man, and they will be gebbled up in |
the twinkl,ng Of an eye. OF course
we are not speaking of eent-per-cent
men, or lazy idlers who are waiting,
like Micawber, for something to turn
up, but ofmen-of real manhood and |
hhrd, practical common sense, who
ire not afraid and have the will to
abor for the attainment of a COM
Detence.. These are the kind of MEN |
needed at Yaquina Bay, and we COR
lially invite such TO come and view /
he land" .-.-
