many mile throngh rain and mud to

on account ot stormy weather he baa not
been able to accomplish nil that be de

do present, is almost entirely from per-1
tonal observation, and we have endeav-1
ortd to avoid all exaggeration ot tbmgs
pertaining to onr county's history, and
to preeout them in their true and natural
colors. Many iu writing Oregon history
make extravagnnt observation, nnd give
highly exaggerated aooonnla of her soil
and productions, Oregon noeda only to
be represented tn her true oolors, aud she
then will stand tha peer of any state in
th Union. 8 lie has the climate and soil
comparable with tbe moat favored dimes
on earth, and in natural beauty nnd
ptaturesqiteness ot scenery, she outrivals
all competitors.
If nature decked out (lus tar-oft region
In robes of natural beauty nnsurpumed
by those of any other land, she was still
mora liberal in bestowing npon it a be

a benveuly olime, for the ardent raj s of
the summer sun i ever tempered by
the sephvr that blow over from the tepid
water of the western wave, and the icy
fangs of winter are deadened by the
warmth-bearing currents.
