after leaving hot Kansas City and trav-
cling through Kansas, New Mexico I'd
Arizona, the everlasting green Of Oregon
was delightfully."- refreshing. Crops are
good IN California, but | have found
them exceptionally fine in Oregon From
what can see and hear this will be the
most prosperous year in this state. Your
popu alton is not great. crops are enor-
mons aud prices are good. This is the
place for settlers to come. People are
obliged 10 jump from Iowa 10 the Pacific
coast nowadays. and il had money to
invest | would plant il here. The natn-
raj increase in population here in the
next lev years will make fortunes and
build up the state at a surprising rate.
People don't know yet what you have
here. Sure crops, fine climate. and in
the finest river and ratural harbor in the
country are trump cards can tell you
thst Ihe thonsaadS of Christ an Endeaver
