We had the pleasure of meeting Mr.
Nicholas Blazer, a gentleman of much
wealth who has come from Columbus
Neb., for the purpose of making Oregon
hi sfuture home. In conversation with
him we learn he is very much pleased with
what he has seen of the country and
climate. Our grass fed beef and mutton
are a marvel of surprise to him, as well
as all our products. He informs us the
people east are looking towards Oregon
with longing eyes, as the Mecca of the
west.
Who says Oregon is not wonderful
country, especially its climate? We saw
on the Congregational church pulpit, yes
terday, a beautiful boquet of roses,-Jac-
quiminot, Safrona and Mad Raduts,-
which were plucked from the bushes out
of doors in one of our citizens residence
grounds, they reminded us of springtime
when every thing is clad in robes of
beauty. Just think of it, in latitude
40 degrees and SO seconds and the mer-
curry go degrees above zero on December
2lst; while in the eastern states, old
Boreas and the fierce wintry storms are
stilling lifes blood. Who would not live
in Oregon?
