4 Payipg Rusiness.

1t is noticed that Portland almost
daily receives large shipments OF
butter and eggs from the east.
Monday she received five tons of
butter and l32, 600 eggs from Iowa.
With butter at 40 cents n roll = lbs)
and eggs 80 and 35 cents dozen, it
is no wonder the eastern people
hurry their surplus here. The true
wonder is why do not more people
go into this very remunerativc
business. There is much money to
be made in the dairy and hennery
business in Oregon, for on ten acres
an industrious man with small
capital and in a short time can ac-
cunplish wonders.

SANPLE LETTER AND REPLY.
BURnErrE, Kan, Sept. 10, 'SS.

BURpErTE, Kan, Sept. 10, IS.
Ed. CAPITAL JoURNAL;-Ther,
are several parties in this neighbor
hood who desire to 20 to Oregon
but the great trouble with farmers il
to dispose of their stock. There i,
really no sale for it here. Kindly
inform us in regard to the prices o
work horses, milch cows, etc., as we
are dcsirous to know if it will pay
to ship them from here. We read
the CAPITAL JOURNAL and il
makes our mouths water to read o.
the wonderful fruits of Oregon.
Respectfully,
II. j.
This means of making our reply
Is taken, i'm the hope that it may
reach the eye of anyone else who
may desire information of like
character. Answering in a general
way, the usual expenses of living
are about the same ms in the eastern
states, perhaps tritie higher.
Oregon's own productions, which
are consumed at home, are as cheap
as elsewhere. House rents are low,
as are also farm and land rents,
Good milch cows are worth about
$50 each, and horses average 500 II
span. Cultivated soil rents for 81. 20
per acre and grain rent is one-third
of crop. We have the purest rum
ming water and plenty of timber.
tits not an uncommon occurrence in
the Willamette valley to see wheat
yield 40 and 80 bushels to the acre,
but of course the average Is much
less. 1t is worth about IS cents and
Il crop failure is never know. Oats
yield 40 and so bushcl and often
hundred, weigh 80 pounds to the
bushel and are usually worth about
80 cents. Barley, rye, corn-in fact
grows abundantly and of
the very best kind.
Come and see us and live a little
of this life as you are passing
through for the last time.

Cost Oftiie News.

Mr. Eugene NJ Camp, who hss collected the
statistics for America on this point says that the
entire cost of all news us in the papers in this
country is $40, $50 900 per year. This is curl.
ousy divided The special bureaus, which are
principally located in New York, with the right
to look over the proofs every night of some Of the
morning p.pers. cost S345, 600. This is divided
among 100 of the leading provincial papers. The
BUSINESS of the Associated Press now amounts to
81, 25000 yearly, and that of the United Press
foots up to $3.50 900. These two sums, with the
special outlay for telegraph tolls outside of the
organic ttons places the total to all the papers of
81 829,0t0 for this department. In addition to
this there are 70 be reckoned the special services
of professional correspondents in adjacent towns
and Important centres, whose sala'ieS aggregate

all the service about 81, $50, 900 per annum. In
the larger cities of the union it COSTS all the way
from $500 to g., 200 week for the working up
of local districts. Mr. Camp reckons this yearly
expense st about Sl5, 100000 This is a correct
analysis of the expense in collecting news and the
proportion in which one branch of the service is
related TO the other. There are three lines on
which the work proceeds-the gathering of news
by the local reporter, the Of the telegraph and
the special correspondent. Each method is closely
related to the other, The statement shows that
there has been great developments of iou rnalism
