Oregon Land and Life Through an Eastern Visitor
An eastern writer reports on Willamette Valley prospects, land prices from 25 to 100 per acre, hay at 8 per ton, rough lumber at six dollars per thousand feet, and a mixed landscape of timber and prairie. He notes diverse crops, a sparse foreign presence, and wages for fruit season workers around 20 dollars a month, urging cautious land buying and suggesting locals welcome Eastern newcomers.
