Capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1893-1895, 1894-12-06

No my. The great Salt Lake valley of
Utah offers glittering inducements to
them in soil, climate and products.
Oregon must be up and doing to get
her share and keep progress with the
development Of the west. All the peo-
pie who come are not wealthy or desir
able perhaps, but that Is unavoidable.
We believe the conditions are fayo at e
to Oregon being settled up with the
best class of immigrants who come
west.
We haye investigated all the points
and conditions carefully and propUte e
to go ahead in the lines of legitimate
newspaper work to induce immigra-
ton to the Willamette valley. We
sh Ill not wait for others to organize
and act but we propose to cover the
territory completely as one small and
cheap newspaper can be made to do it.
We believe the time and condition is
favorable and The JOURNAL will be
found in the van supplying reliable in
formation to the people who are COM
| inE here to seek homes. The JOURNAL
will not go into the real estate business
nor into the booming business. But 1t
will go extensively into the business of
inducing immigration TO the best re
gion on Gods earth at a time when
hundreds of thousands are castirg
about to find home in land wi ere
they will at least not suffer for the ne
ce ,sities of life and where industry will
make good homes,
The first special edition of The JOUR-
NAL goes east saturday and 1t goes di-
rectly to those most interested in the
we terra tide of immigration. All must
see the folly of scattering newspapers
at random and among persons who
have no thought of coming west. Ore
gon has had plenty of such advertising
at the worlds fair and ia other ways.
Our aim is to get sample copies into
the hands of those who are actually
coming, or preparing to come to tie
Pacific coast. We can do this at very
low price and propose to do SO entirely
at our own expense. The JOURNAL
will trust to the merit Of its own enter
prise and the merit Of our country, to
which we seek to bring immigrants, to
recompense US fully. Increased sales
OF newspapers and increased advertis-
ing by those having lands to sell, will
defray all expense Of onr undertaking.
At least once week we shall send out
immigration editions Of from two TO
ten thousand copies at our own ex-
panse. Our NEW YEARS edition will
be especially large and attractive in
this respect. There has been a great
deal of money thrown away on adver-
tising the resources OF Oregon In news
papers and printed matter. Our sole
aim is 10 get into direct communication
with those who actually intend COM
ing TO the Pacific coast. This will be
done systematically and thoroughly
aud On an extensive scale. 10 this end
we solicit the cooperation Of all who
may be interested Ia bringing 10 Ore
gon good results out Of the condition
before US. We want your cooperation
and suggestions 10 make this cam
paign for the development Of Oregon
effective, We want every reader of
this paper 10 assist us In reaching their
friends aud aequainianoes who want
reliable information about our country,
its people and its products, send us
