Vancouver is a good place to meet
this class of people. They go on board
the steamer for Japan, carrying their
crops. They cannot converse without
one any more than the Ohio boy could
stand at the head Of his class after an
enemy had removed the knothole in the
floor which the top boy used TO stick his
great American toe in while be con-
sidered.
As we 90 northward we miss the pep
per tree. the camphor tree, the baobob
tree, the eucalyptus tre9 and the family
tree. Oregon has few tropical plants,
but is a conservative State. 1t never
had a boom, but rather a steady, health
full growth.
The mossback has been all the time
reproached by the younger and more
progressive business man. In Roseburg
a Maine man said that unless the moss
back cemetry showed more enterprise
the ice crop around Bath, Mo-, would
soon be worth more than the entire pro-
ducts of southern Oregon"
Still he may have been a peSsimist,
Oregon, however, is undoubtedly a re-
markably good State as regards re-
sources, but q slight shower continuing
from the last of August TO May l keeps
a great many people indoors. The pat
ter of the raindrop on the roof is a feat
ure Of life on the Pacific coast, and es-
pecially of Oregon and the sound. Peo-
pie have a more aquatic appearance, and
their bills are longer, especially at
hotels.
Portland is one of the most stable
cities of the west and is growing rapid
ly. That is, il is a healthy growth, OF
course-nothing in the nature OF a boom.
She has a good hotel, which she did not
have when I visited her eight years ago
under the able management of a dram
atIc impresario and mule sheer OF Walla
Walla.
An interesting feature of the younger
towns is the board Of trade.

crate body 1t marks an era in our civili-
