Letter from Oregon.

Messrs. Editors.
1t is no exaggeration to say that
there are at this time no less than
one thousand dwelling houses to let in
this city and East Portland. The
words "To let" are posted up all over
town. Why are there so many va
cant houses? The reason is that
there is nothing here for workingmen
to do. People who come TO Portland
can't stay, because they can't find en-
ployment. Even those who seek en-
ployment here at common labor sell
dom get it, and for skilled labor, out
side of few carpenters and bricklay-
ers employed on the limited number of
buildings in course of erection, there
is positively no chance. For every
job there are dozen men waiting.
Men can't stay when there is no work
to be had. Families can't live in
place where there is no way of earn
ing living. There is nothing to at
tract labor, ard in consequence the
population can't grow. There are no
factories here to attract buyers, but
the country is full of natural resour-
ces of all kinds. Here are the raw
materials of almost every leading in
dustry. But it doesn't suit the Ore
gon temperament to use them. Prof
its are thought to be too remote, as
the Indians here in early days would
not plant potatoes; or if they did
plant, would dig them up within a
week and eat them, saying that the
new crop was long way off and they
couldn't afford to wait and take the
risk. If man builds a house here he
wants to get the whole cost out of the
first years rent. The capitalists will
not invest in any enterprise where
they cannot see cent per cent the first
year, nor will they allow outside capt.
tai to come in if they can prevent it.
An iron manufacturing company was
organized, but it has fallen through.
1t seems to have settled down in a
freeze out game, a common result of
undertakings in Oregon. Works to
reduce the ores of Idaho were talked
of, but the projectors don't see GER
tainty of doubling their money the
first year, and so they hold back.
With any kind of management and
moderate capital, tanneries would be
very successful, but cent per cent pre-
sents too many attractions. One
thing, however, may be noted, the
country is getting too poor to pay in
terest on money. 1t may in time
lead to the thought that something
else can be done with money than lend
it on note and mortgage.
Portland will never prosper until
she becomes a market. When she
can get rid of the Jew and Scotch
money lender and supply their places
with manufactures which will employ
men, she will become a market for the
produce of the country. At present,
the farmer, in his slip-shod, careless
way, raises wheat, because it is the
only thing that requires little skill to
produce and the only thing he can
sell. Thousands of tons of fruit rot
on the ground; there are no fruit can
neries. Hogs will not bring three
cents per pound, because there is not
1 pork packing establishment in the

WASHED AND UNwAsHED WOOL
A Lewiston wooden goods manufacture
er say: "There is mistake in sup
posing that wool ready to weave costs
the manufacturer but little, because
the feeces- as they come from the
farm sell for only twenty cents pei
pound. Here is hundred pounds OIL
Maine feeces. How much do you
suppose it will weigh after it has been
secured and washed and put through
this water? Well, / shall not have
over forty-fve pounds of wool tc
show for my hundred-the rest of il
will be dirSsin the bottom of-the river"
The manufacturers Australian WOO
costs him nearly double what was paiG
for the domestic article, yet as it is
fine and clean he was satisfied with
the price, 1t is good wool, not dirt
that is required in making cloth, such
as we all like to buy in coats and pan
falcons.

The Commissioner of Pensions is
doing a good work in the revision OF
the pension list. A large number of
persons have been found who were
no longer entitled to pensions, as in
case of widows who re-marry, and
occasionally a man has been found
who was drawing a large pension on
the credit of a dead man. This is
a good work but only half done
when the frauds are cut off. They
should be given the full measure OF
the penalty provided in such cases.

Farm Notes.

Don't be harsh with the restless
COWS while flies are so bad.
1t Is stated that there are $4,000
boxes of cheese stored in New York
City. 1t is also estimated that Mon
treal has 10000 and that there are
9o,Ooo west of Toronto in Canada.
The milk from fresh COW should
not be mingled with that of the 9TH
ers TOO soon. The milk from fresh
COW is not in proper condition for hui
man consumption until it is free from
ropiness.
f. Z. Grant of East Concord, has
Jersey cow that in one week in June
ON grass alone, gave 231 pounds of
milk, yielding nineteen pounds and
nine ounces OF superior grade Of
butter; about eleven and three-fourths
pounds of milk yields a pound of
butter.
Sir j. B. Lawes says he does not
think the quality of cows milk is
affected by the amount of water she
drinks, but is of the opinion that thin
ana sloppy feeds may have the effect
of reducing the quality of the milk.
DIR. Volecker is of the same opinion.
When a cheese which has been
much sailed and kept dry is washed
several times in soft water and then
laid in cloth moistened with wine or
vinegar it gradually loses its sadness,
and if it be a rich cheese. from beino
hard and dry it becomes soft and mel
low.
Dairying may not be more profta-
BILE in some sections than regular farm
ing, but supposing such to be true,
yet the farm that is devoted to dairy
ing will annually become richer in fer
tility and larger crops grown every
year, which explains why those farm
ers who make dairying specially
gradually become wealthy while others
fail.

OUR ENEMIEs.-It has been often as
serted that our enemies are productive
of greater good to us than our friends.
Their sensorious remarks cause us to
look inward and see ourselves as others
see us, but this theory must be accepted
with some degree of allowance. Doubt
less it may have salutary effect on
some persons but how much greater in
fluencefor good have the kinds words
of a real friend who seeks our good and
tenderly points out our faults. Those
so hardened that they are not influenced
by kindness may be given over as ire
deemable. They are fit subjects for
the penitentiary.
