job was awarded the news the callow youth who presides in the journal sanctum called up the oreman loreman of thip paper and made some silly protestations as to cut prices etc lie ha was told over the chow that thecly the city q arp and nd will bear witness as to whether or not the price was cut evidently ho he prefers not to got get the facts but simply simpli follow the silly bent of his imagination and wall wail before the public every time he falesta falls fall sta to got get business business us iness the city fathers are arc not P I 1 responsible for the inability of the manager

portland oregon for or the purpose of looking over the country with wita a view of 0 purchasing a farm farin everything he saw was beautiful vast pine forests covered the plain where the husbandman in had not made a grass was green moss covered the trunks and branches of the trees and everything else even to the stones the warm ocean current tempered the elli climate nate so that it was delightful to live in and the first impression was here is a ai ideal spot in in which to locate co te upon investigation invest gatIOn some interest ng lacta facts were developed in the first place the price of land was almost two and three hundred dollars an acro acre for laud land that was covered with great pine stumps or the trees tre emse aver was mas almost enough ough 1 to 0 dia discourage the investigator at the outset land that was already cleared was held at a much higher figure very naturally upon examining the soil it was discovered that the loam was not very deep and fertilizer must be used in profusion or tho the crops will not be a success imagine tho astonishment of this toils individual when he learned that abat the 60 fertilizer was imported from utah in the shape shape of land plaster manufactured at nepi nephi fr from ra various substances and sent way up into oregon to enrich the the soil in order that it might tie be made mace to produce they cannot produce sufficient of the ordinary fertilizer evidently to supply the demands so importation por tation of the manufactured article has to bo be resorted but by reason of the tempered climate and excess

settlers are flocking to oregon ana aal portland is booming the boosters boasters bo in that section have waged a systematic campaign of advertising which is now bringing results colonists husli rush through utah and idaho passing up all the th splendid opportunities that are laying out doors here in fit their eagerness ta to reach orgon oregon of which they have havo heard so much they they have never heard much about abou utah except adverse criticism and like the sage sake of old they do not believe anything good can como come out of her having purchased through tickets they their do not
