500 miles Of coast line is indented with
many good harbors, beautiful bays and
delightful beaches and summer re-
sorts. While in the eastern states IL
is principally the millionaires who can
afford to spend their summers at the
ocean, in Oregon any family Of moder.
ate means can enjoy this luxury on the
beautiful beaches. Your readers have
all heard OF our great timber wealth
and undeveloped mineral resources. We
are about second or third as a gold
producing state, and our mountains are
rich in attractions for the prospector,
and our country Is overrun with timber
land locators. Western Oregon has
just as fine dairy region as any part
Of your state, with this difference: We
have no freezing in winter, and require
no ice in summer. In addition to gen
eral farming, cattle and swine raising,
we have in Oregon many big money
crops that produce annually more
wealth per capita from the soil than
probably any state in the Union.
What shall l say of the glorious eli.
mate, the wonderful soil, the products,
the excellent water, abundant forests

try, and we do not live on climate and
tourists. Our climate is about the same
as that of west England. The ever
green and indigenous forests mingle
on our hills, and in our valleys the
laurel, mistletoe and rhodendrons, as
they do in Virginia. The English and
black walnut thrive equally. We have
fine public schools, and good hunting
and fishing We have good roads and
good roadsters. We have railroads and
steamboat lines and rapidly extending
systems of trolley cars. The steam
boats are run summer and winter on
our rivers, and our sawmills load YES
sells that go to South Africa and South
America. We are on the verge of the
Orient, and our country will undergo
a remarkable expansion. l could tell
of other industries, but have enumer
ated enough to disclose to any reason
able man that our country has a re-
markable variety and untold possibili.
ties for future development. The young
man who is not permanently located in
business, the man who is renting
farm, the man with a few hundred
or many thousands Of ready money
who cannot come into new country
like this and catch on to something
that will make him contented and
prosperous, wouldn't accomplish much
anywhere. have never tried to coax
any of my friends out Of their com
Portable surroundings, and am not try
ing TO do 80 now. But as we are going
to have great exposition at Portland
next year in honor Of the centennial
of the discovery Of this country by
Lewis and Clark, who blazed the way
for civilization, under the direction Of
President Jefferson, feel warranted
in recommending them to investigate

cific coast 1 would take pleasure in
answering questions or giving special
information to your readers on any
in which they may be interest

passes but trainloads of tourists ar
rive from the east, and Oregon is des-
tined TO be the center Of the greatest
movement Of this decade.
Our state led all the rest in disposition
Of public lands the past year. Our
city, which is the Sapital Of the state,
is growing in every direction. Our un-
limited water powers are fast coming
into requistion. Our commerce is rap
idly extending into the Orient Ships
loaded with products Of our farms and
sawmills for Asia, South Africa and
South America. We have a trade with
Alaska along nearly 5000 miles of coast
line. Deep sea shipping makes con.
slant demand for our fruits, meat and
dairy products. Our people are wide
awake to their opportunities. While
we shall not have as big fair as the

failure and rally Of noted financial
home, adds:
I'VE congratulate all persons con-
cerned, and we take occasion TO say
that II has been demonstrated in this
instance that kindness and cOnsidera-
ton sometimes yield better returns in
the world OF finance and trade than
cruelty and choking. "Have patience
with me and / will repay thee all" is
always the prayer Of the honest debt
OF, and creditors will find as rule
that such compassion is good business,
