At the same time two men aud their families oue from tho Willamette and the other from California camped in the samo place. The heads of the two families fell into conversation and the Orogouian asked tho Californiau whither ho was bound. "I'm trying to find a country," replied tho Cali fornia mail, "where it rains. I've been dried out in California." "Where are you going?" The Oro gouian aaid; "I'm looking for 1 country where It doesn't rain etor unity. " "There were two men eeek ing practically tho same kind of cli mate," continued Mr. Wilcox, "but each went to the opposite extreme, whereas they botli might have found what they were looking for right here in your beautiful valley."
