FRIDAY
Delighted with Oregon

Judge r. F. Ayers. OF Louisiana. No..
and q boyhooi acquaintance OF Judge
Burnett, OF Corvallis. came TO Portland a
few weeks ago with his family with the
intention OF making ,ha, city HIS future
home. He writes to his home paper
thus:
"Our opportunities for observations Of
Oregon, It's climate, soil, inducements 10
homesecper, eis-. are os n Necessity linn
tied by reason oi our short stay here. and
whatever impressions we may have re-
ceived may lie given subject 10 change,
however.
"0ur honest opinion is that Oregon,
already great state, Is destined to some
day take first rank among the galaxy of
the great states oi this union. and this
some day We do NOT think or believe TO
be in the remote future, either. The in
ducements il offers 10 homeseeker in gen.
ersl and 10 farmers in particular. are not
equaled by an other state or territory,
climate and soil considered. The re-
sources OF this state are simply wonder
full. We are delighted with everything
wc have seen concerning this state, and
are IN love with i already. The people
everywhere have given Us kindly greet
ing and extended 10 us n cordial welcome.
In conclusion, le; me say we think we
have made no mistake in coming out
here, and IS We feel at present, could no;
be induced TO return to our old home.
Our only regret is that We did no; come
when We were . years younger.
