OREGON
The great, new and flourishing State of Oregon offers to the immi- grant more substantial inducements for settlement than any of the Eastern States, and to ignorance of its vast resources, the productive quality of its soil, and its mild, delightful climate, may be attributed the fact that so much of its area is still without cultivation. It is being rapidly filled up now, and a decade hence the value of its land and products will have more than doubled.
WASHINGTON TERRITORY
Lying next to Oregon, is also one of the most prolific sections in the Great Northwest, and it is a matter of no small significance that its yield of Wheat, Barley, Flax and Hops for 1885 was nearly double what it was in 1884, and that the products brought a much higher price.
Oregon and Washington are the only two sections in the United States which produced full crops for 1885. See Government statistics.
It Will Pay Every Progressive Farmer
To examine into the advantages of Oregon and Washington, and even if you have no thought of changing your home you should write to one of the undersigned for information, as you should not be ignorant · of what this section can produce.

VAC
ACATION is a cessation of work, and a diver
rests the body and afloat, we cut loose
sion of the mind into new and pleasant channels While it may seem like idleness to loll around at the seashore, the country farm or among the mountains, it is a repairing and oiling of the machin- ery, necessary to the better accomplishment of work. If you can find rest and recreation during the sultry months, you gain thereby. A water trip best quiets the nerves, diverts the mind. We leave carping cares behind as soon as and drift away from worries and anxieties of office, study, work- shop and household, are interested in the changing scenes and in the enjoyment of solid comfort, float lazily and dream. We revel in the freedom, the dolce far niente, the pure, bracing air, the beauties of sky and sea, watch with fascination the leaping spray at the steamer's bow, fall to noting the ever-changing billows, and enter into projects for amuse- ment started by others, or, originate them ourselves with the zest of a child.
On board a steamer we live a new, novel and fresh life, such as is never experienced on land. To those who enjoy great Nature's work, we would say:
Mackinac Island is among the grandest and most romantic of spots. Visitors are voluble with story and legend of every bold cliff and cave and fallen rock around the island, and many a pencil, brush and camera are brought to bear on the wonders found. Every section of the country sends visitors annually. The invalid is attracted by the wonderful purity of the atmosphere, the climate being noted as a sanitarium for hay fever and bronchial affections. Great numbers visit this region to escape from or get relief of these maladies; many experience an improvement on entering Lake Huron. No other resort possesses such entertaining features. The surrounding country offers endless attractions to the adventurous. Gamey fish lurk in all the inland lakes and rivers with which the State of Michigan abounds. Its forests are the hiding places of furred and feathered creatures, which afford fine sport.
Mackinac Island is reached by the Detroit and Cleveland Steam Navigation Company, by the pleasant lake route, with a splendid line of palatial iron steamers, the largest, swiftest and most luxurious on fresh water, forming the only comfortable route to this island resort. These floating palaces were recently built especially for the summer tourists' travel. The forward and after 'saloons, in mahogany and walnut respectively, are magnificently appointed and tastefully decorated, and their elegant rooms and parlors are replete with modern improvements. The lower saloons are devoted to dining halls, which entirely separate the culinary departments from the main saloons, a desirable feature only possible on these large side-wheel steamers. Their bill of fare, which is equal to that of any first-class hotel, includes all the luxuries of the season, and the price charged barely meets the outlay. Berths are in rooms, an upper, single width, and a lower, double width, in each, are fur- nished with wire and hair mattrasses and Pullman blankets. These steamers have water tight compartments, and their feathering paddles give unusual speed, without jar or noise. This water trip cannot be excelled anywhere, and the round trip affords a daylight view of all the route. No more comfortable place can be found outside of one's own home in which to spend the sultry days, than on board these splendidly appointed steamers. The changing scenes and fresh, bracing air, will benefit many who vainly seek relief at physicians' hands. and physicians urgently recommend this particular trip.

These steamers stop at the island both ways, giving those who wish to return on the same trip, from four to six hours in which to view the curiosities and wonders, or, you can return by one of them every thirty-six hours. Tickets for transportation can be procured from any ticket agent. Round trip tickets are good for the season. The round trip occu- pies four and one-half days from Cleveland, or two and three-quarters days from Detroit. The few landings made en route are just sufficient to interest without being tediou's. Some of your neighbors have certainly made this trip.
Enquire about it.
The Cost from Cleveland-This item has received our thoughtful consideration, and is the least possible to insure complete comfort, tickets covering transportation being only $5.50 one way, or $9.00 round trip; (half fare for children between five and twelve years of age.) Meals are 50 cents each; the same for children over three years old; under that age, 25 cents, and for the first table. The running time, Cleveland to Mackinac, includes five meals at 50 cents each, or $2.50 each way. Some passengers bring their own lunch. An upper berth of single width is $2.00, a lower berth of double width $3.00. Each room will accom. modate three persons, by two occupying the lower berth. Put the items together, say for

This delightful trip by water of 940 miles in the round trip, occupies 4} days, costing only $17.00 to $19.00, or about $4.00 per day. You cannot go anywhere and compass so much enjoyment and solid comfort by the way. By rail you reach Mackinac a few hours earlier possibly, which is all that can be said in its favor, and is of the least consequence when seeking, pleasure, rest and recreation. it is certainly hot and dusty, you are cramped for room, and the little strength you start with is likely to be used up, especially is this the case with ladies and children. A summer trip should be planned to get all the quiet and fresh air possible. Why do you leave home at all? Simply to reverse the excitement of business cares, the bustle, hurry and rush. Such complete relief is only found by taking a water trip, the scenery is varied and attractive, and there is ample time for a good look at every interesting object. One way by steamer would be better than all rail. The outside expenses by rail will pay the cost by water. Have you taken this view of the matter?
Steamers City of Detroit and City of Cleveland, which form the Lake Erie Division with a nightly service (Sundays excepted) leave Cleveland at 8.30 o'clock, arrive at Detroit the following morning at 5.30 o'clock. Returning, leave Detroit at 10.00 o'clock, arrive Cleve- land 5.30 o'clock, standard time. The fare between the two cities is $2.25 single trip, which is one-half of rail fare, or $4.00 round trip. Upper berths are $1.00, lower berths, $1.50. Among the advanced steps taken by this Company is that of not including the cost of berths in the ticket fare, which happily disposes of the vexatious question, how to best care for the comfort of our patrons. Commercial travelers, usually confined to the hot, dusty, noisy rail car, avail themselves of the charming quiet, cool, fresh air and the luxury of a full night's rest afforded by this night line by water.
Passengers can time it to make close connections at Detroit with steamers City of Mackinac and City of Alpena, which form the Lake Huron Division and leave every Wednes- day and Friday mornings at 9 o'clock, Monday and Saturday nights at 10.00 o'clock for Mackinac and principal Lake Huron ports. The quickest trip and closest connection is made by taking Steamer City of Cleveland Tuesday or Thursday evening from Cleveland. Break- last on board before changing steamers.

This delightful trip from Detroit to Mackinac by water, a distance of 740 miles in the round trip, occupying 24 days, costing only $12.50 to $13.50, or about $4.25 per day, is within the reach of a large number who make a practice of leaving home for a short time during the summer months.
It is not expensive by steamer.
These steamers being side-wheelers and large, afford the utmost comfort.
Parties who intend taking the Wednesday or Friday morning steamer, and arrive in Detroit Tuesday or Thursday evening, will be accommodated with rooms for those nights without extra charge, if applied for early in the evening at the General Passenger office.
Probably no one Feature excites as much temporary curiosity in the mind of the newly arrived resorter as the hotel which is to become his temporary abode. At Mackinac he is conversant with its principal features even before reaching the dock, as the splendid caravansary which shelters most of the visitors at this most fashionable of all northern resorts, is its most prominent object as observed from the deck of an approaching steamer, and can be studied from several miles distant. "The Grand" is located on a bluff at the western end of the island, 200 feet above the lake, and faces the Straits of Mackinac. But partially completed for the season of 1887, it has since assumed the proportions contemplated by the original plans, and now represents an invested capital of $300,000 .. Its present season commences June 13th, and ends Oct. Ist. The rates, with but few exceptions, will be $3.00 to $4.00 per day.
"The Grand " is 650 feet in length and five stories in height, surmounted by a tall, commanding tower. Its architecture is of the "Old Colonial" style, the distinctive feature being a colonnaded portico, upon which the windows of every floor open. This portico is 22 to 32 feet wide, and extends the whole length of the house. The interior is well arranged and fully equal to every demand of the most fastidious taste. The lower floor is occupied exclusively by the dining hall, drawing room and private parlors, with the large rotunda office in the center. The dining hall is a mammoth apartment, capable of seating 600 people. It occupies the space of two stories, its vaulted ceiling being 27 feet overhead. The guest rooms are large, light and airy and sufficient in number to accommodate 1,000 persons. Each front suite is provided with a private balcony, a novelty peculiar to "The Grand." The hotel is lighted by gas and electricity, heated by steam, and provided with elevator and electric call and fire alarm bells. It is also supplied with barber shop, bath rooms, steam laundry and a first-class livery. A metro- politan orchestra is in attendance during the entire season. The grounds have been made very attractive and a casino constructed for indoor sports. The hotel is under the management of Mr. John O. Plank, lessee.
