An Oregon Letter.
Eugene Oregon June 17 '94.
Editor Bulletin:
I am travelling1 in Oregon and
knowing all the Brown county peo-
ple read The Bulletin and think
ing information about this "country
might prove interesting I ask for
space in your columns. I left
Brownwood April -9th and arrived
in San Francisco the 15th. Was
delayed there three days waiting
for steamer but in the mean time
visited the Midwinter Fair Gold-
en Gate Park and Cliff House and
learned what I could about the
great? 'western metropolis. On
board the steamer Columbia I
le'arned something of sea-sickness
and I don't care for any more les-
sons. Nothing but salt water an
occasional whale porpoise or sea
lion and a very unsettled stomach
to pass away the time.
The climate of Oregon west of
the mountains is mild neither too
hot or too cold- but entirely too
damp rains continually from Sep
tember to April still raining here.
The result is much catarrh asth
ma and rheumatism though in
other respects health is . good.
Wheat oats potatoes and hay are
the chief products. Wheat aver-
ages 18 to 22 bushels; oats 25 to
30; potatoes 150 to 300 bushels;
hay 1 to 2 tons. Corn does not
mature or keep well. Hops yield
1500 pounds per acre cost to pro-
duce S cents per acre market
price 8 to 20 cents.
Fruits such as apples pears
prunes plums and cherries are
grown in large quantities and are
of good quality and bring fairly
good prices though the market is
now dull. Vegetables all grow
well but prices are very low.-
Water is plentiful and good well
can be had at 25 feet. People are
friendly and sociable. Lands are
very high in price though I have
not seen but two farmers who did
not want to sell most farmers are
in debt and some are being sold
out under mortgage. Lands of
good quality cost from $15 to $150
per acre. Mountain lands are very
rough and snow covered. If a man
can get here with $4000 or $5000
he can easily make a good living
but it is no place for. a poor man
for work is scarce rents are. high
and on account of the rain can only
work half the year. Crops never
fail to make. Rains are gentle
and accompanied bv but little
wind or lightning. This is a can
did opinion of this country ob
tained by association with farmers.
Brown county people can accept it
for what it may be worth to them.
