The Board Of immigration.

The Portland BOARD of immigration has
Just issued circular letter in which CO.
operative action on the part OF each county
or locality is earnestly solicited The board
is not organized, nor is the money appro-
priated for the purpose of inducing immi-
grants to settle in any particular locality,
but to aid alike every part of the State.
Recognizing the necessity and efficiency
of cooperative work, the board suggests
that each county through it's commissioners,
other officials, or private citizens, organize
a local immigration society, having for its
object the issuance of printed information,
the appointment of the local agent to give
gratuitous attention to new comers, and to
whom the secretary of the board Call send
immigrants.

At the City Hall last Wednesday night
there was quite large audience to witness
the ''Ten Nights in Bar-room" played by
amateur performers from Philomath, who
came here for the special purpose of per-
forming this play. The characters were
formers. A large portion OF the audience
would have been pleased to have listened
more attentively to the performance had
they not been prevented from doing SO by
are ever present on such occasions to pre-
vent others from enjoying quiet respecta-
BILE entertainment. This hoodlum element
ranges from small boys up to some who
oughs to consider themselves large enough
and old enough to be men instead of mis-
behaved snobs who seem not to respect the
rights, pleasures or comforts of anything
else except discord, confusion, disobedlence
and disrespect to all law and order of every
kind. Many parents. who on such oeca-
sions are quietly at home by their family
freside expecting their boys are following
the ways of decency and respsctability, lit
tie think that their boys are. at some public
gathering disturbing everybody else and
acting the part of a most degraded hoodlum,
and thus taking the FIRST steps onward to.
ward the gallows or to felon's cell. Boys
who are permitted to run loose and respect
not the good advice of their parents or the
respectability and order of society have nc
respect for their parents, or other people..and
if not checked will grow up with .!isrespsct
and disobedience of the laws the country
in which they live, and from this class o.

of the low and debased order of criminals

where their hoodlum sons could not Sc.

Advertising oregon.

One would naturally suppose with all the
united and individual efforts which for
years have been so constantly and industri-
ously put forth to advertise Oregon to the
world, that this s. ought, by this time,
to be pretty well known throughout the
Atlantic, southern and western states.
But it seems, notwithstanding the conjoint
efforts of boards of trade, bureaus of infor-
nation and immigration societies. whose
principal purpose has been to scatter broad
cast tho seeds of knowledge concerning
Oregon, its climate, soil. resources, etc,
etc, the most Opaque ignorance still ap-
pears to prevail in regard to the state.
a gentleman who has just returned from
an extended trip to the east and south ex-
presses his great surprise and mingled re-
grets at the prevailing ignorance. He says
a very imperfect, and, in most instances
an incorrect impression exists about Oregon,
Its soil, geographical relations, resources,
and especially its climate. A very general
belief prevails that Oregon is dreadfully
cold place; that the snow falls to a great
depth, and the winters are very rigorous,
equal in duration to those OF the western
and northern states. This idea has been
protracted snow blockade of last winter
which were published in the eastern press
and extensively circulated
| Among eastern people Oreren appears so
very remote, so little seems to be definitely
known of it, that is talked of as if it were
little better than a semi-civilizei country
The gentleman stated the failure of tn
legislature to elect United States Senate
was the means of bringing this state int
more general notice, and to cause it to b
the subject of widespread public comment
than any other means of advertising wit
which he was acquainted. This adnitte
condition of ignorance may seem discourae
, ing to all organized efforts which are pu
forth to place Oregon before the America
people in her true and just light; but tn
labors of the State Board of Immigration
! recently organized under authority of tn
G legislature, and the equally efficient burea
o of immigration connected with the land d'
partment of the Northern Pacific railroa
, company, must soon bear abundant an
gratifying fruits. The Webfuot state ca
