Many Women Travel Alone.

A surprising feature of the influx of
new citizens is the number of women
and older girls who travel alone. Some
of them are seeking work in Portland
and the larger towns of the state.
Others expect to secure employment as
school teachers. Quite few, however,
express the intention of taking up
homestead land in the open portions
of the state and of living ii out" as
required by law. Some of them say
that they may engage in farming If
necessary.
The class of tourists as noted by all
passenger agents is far above the av-
erage this year. Nearly all seem to
have some means. This class intend
to buy lands where they are cheap.
A proportion of single men who
want to come west and grow up with
the country" is included among the
travellers, as usual.

.COLONIST RUSH BEGINS
ADVANCE GUARD OF 1900 REACH
ED OREGON LAST TUESDAY.
Most of the Immigrants Come From
Points In the Middle
West.

The advance guard Of the spring
colonist rush to Oregon has already
arrived.
1t is estimated that fully 1900 set
tiers and homeseekers arrived in the
state Tuesday. Many did not travel all
the way to Portland. Those who were
ticketed to points in Eastern Oregon
left the trains at the stations most
convenient to their respective destina-3
tions.
Every line operating into Portland
carried several tourist coaches on ev-
cry train. Extra trains were operated
over the O.-W. r. & NJ, Great North
ern and Northern Pacific. Later many
of the regular trains were run in two
sections. The Soo-Spokane train Of
the Canadian Pacific arrived with
trainload of Canadian settlers.
Iowans to Take Up Homes.
Most of the recent arrivals are from
points in the Middle West. One band
of farmers from points in Central Iowa
came in advance of their families and
will proceed at once to Central Ore
gon to take up homes. As soon as
they become settled they will send for
their wives and children.
Among the new arrivals also are
great number of clerks and young men
whose health has broken down under
the strain of business and confinement
in the Eastern cities and who will seek
new life and prosperity on the orch
ards and farms of this state. Central
Oregon seems to be the destination of
most of this class.
A woman with five children was
among the passengers on train that
entered the North Bank station yester-
day. She said that her husband died
while they lived on small farm in
Illinois, and that she had to sell the
place to pay the debts and other ex-
penses. With the remaining money
she bought tickets for Oregon and ex-
poets to embark again in agricultural
pursuits on land that is cheaper. Her
Oldest child is boy II years old. The
youngest is a girl of years. With the
aid of her sons and daughters she ex-
poets soon to be on the road to a
living.
