EutfENK City, June 8, 188a
I Lave found nowhere in 'Oregon &
more distinctly pictureupje'region than
Lane county. The pait whiter has
been an abnormal one, anil (he concur-
reitt testimony of the oldest inhabitants
in that the seawm is at least a month
Inter than usual Admitting this, and
looking around uin um the verdure
and bloom and beauty in which this
pleasant town of Eugene is emlwwered
I can eaxiiy understand the affection
which the Oregonian of the Willamette
feels for this fertile valley, and I find
no difficulty in forecasting for it a fu
ture which equals the most sanguine
prophecies of its most 'enthusiastic
friend:i. i
J have seen a great deal of Oregon
pin the twelve months I have spent
within its borders, and this letter in
addition to being descriptive of Lane
county, will assume something of the
clttiracWr of a review of the Willamette
Valley. I do not know that I can bet
ter sum up my impressions of the state,
so far as my observation has extended,
tlian by quoting a. brief .portion of an
editorial which appeared in the Bulle
tin in the year lSOD. Before quoting,
let me remark for the benefit of those
who think that it has been 'the cue of
California papers to decry and belittle
Oregon, that the SJulletui, at least, has
been a consistent evception to that rule
if, indeed, any such rule exists. The
passage to which I refer is as follows:
The fact is Oregon is just entering
vn a career of such prosperous devel
opment as marked the history of sev
eral of the Mississippi States in the de
cade following 1850. This was delayed
twenty years by the remoteness and
isolation which have Ihhhi ended at last,
and by the completion of the Pacific
Railroad and the construction of local
branches.
There is no more orderly and econ
omical State in the Union than Oregon.
All its growth has been gradual and
healthy, for while it possessed great
mineral resources it has never been de
moralized by p-et mining excitements.
Every word of this is ls true to-day'
as it was in 18G9. Thee words were
quoted ly II. K Mosely, F. It H vho
in company with Wallis Nash, (now of
Corvallis,) the representative of a
wealthy English company, made a tour
of the state to 1878, and, on his return
to England, published a book on the
resources and capacities of Oregon.
Oregon, however, will not enter upon
that career of development until the
barrier between it awl the outside
world is broken down by the pick and
shovel of the railroad builder. So im
patient liave the people become in this
matter, that Congressman Whiteaker
of this State has introduced a bill in
Congress looking to the forfeiture of
the land grant to the Oregon fc Califor
nia rail rood, south of Roseburg and
its transfer to such a company as will
at once extend the lloseburg road to a
junction with the California Aiid Ore-
son railroad
Lei us, however, return 4 ft consid
eration of Lane county, which was
formed from parte of lientou ftrtd Ump
qua counties by act of lle Territorial
Legislature of 1850-51. Thecttinty ex
tcuds from tire summit ot the Cascade
mountains on the east to th Pacific
ocean on tiie west it is anoui ho mues
wide and 108 miles in length, and com
prises an area of about 5,000 square
miles. In this area it included almost
eyery variety of soil, the valley lands,
which for the present comprise the
principal portions devoted to agricul
ture; varying from a fine, friable grav
ely loam to adol with a stiff cl.-.y sub
soil. It would be difficult to find a re
gion more outwardly attractive or more
suggestive of agricultural prosperity.
With but one exception of any note,
the Laie county farmers, for the past
thirty years, have been sure of a har
vest Last year, however, tie wheat
rusted. Many of the land renters have
sought other regions, notably Eastern
Oregon, where they, will begin life
afresh as preemptors of homestead
claimant; and if the report! which came
from that section are true, tot many
years will -laf.r rfbre act op f j
them will bless the seeming calamity
which transformed a' renter into a pro
prietor. TIIK THREE PHYSIC.a DIVISIONS CF TIIK

lift ween the Cascades and the Coast
Range the valley stretches out for
miles in width, intersected by tho Wil
lamette and fringed by groves ahd long
lines 'of maple, ash, willow, bak and
other forest trees, which mark tho
course of streams. Along the lino of
the railroad and on the river area num
ber flourishing towns. To 'the east
tho Cascade rises clothed for the most
part, with dense forest growths. It has
not been my fortune to penetrate the
deep recesses of these inviting hills,
but those who have Wen there speak
only in terms of praise of virgin forests,
mountain alive with "speckle beauties,"
thermal springs, hunting grounds
which furnish tho sportsman with his
choice of bear, elk, antelope, deer,
grouse, pheasants, mountain quail am:
other toothsome adjuncts of the Nini
rod's mess table. It is about GO miles
from Eugene City to the Uethseda Hot
Springs, a favorite summer resort, with
ice-cold trout streams near by. Such
to come extent at least, is the Cascade
division of Lano 'county. It is a timber
ahd game preserve good for a century.
TIIK '('OAST RANOE DIVISION OP LANE.
The Siuslaw Tiver, like the Yaquiua,
a tidal estuary for many mik from its
mouth, has Iteen for some 'time one of
the coast harbors touched at by the
Alex. Duncan and other steamers. The
harbors is spoken of as aft ordinarily
safe one in good weather, 'and from
what I have heard seafaring .men say
will evtujtually 1)eoomo, With govern
ment aid, an important adjunct to the
commerce of tho Pacific coast At pres
ent this coast region attractive beyond
question, and capable of the support of
a largo and prosperous population, iS
difficult of access from the interior, al
though steps are being taken by the
authorities of Lane county, looking to
the construction of a good wagon road
over the mountains to this desirable
section. The Siuslaw Valley has I am
credibly informed, an average width of
seven mile. In addition thereto, there
isLak Creek Valley and tho Wolf Creek
section, both of which are receiving
new settlers. This region abounds in
forests of yellow cedar, red, white and
yellow fir, and maple. There cau be
Ho question but that here is another
vast reserve of timlx-p. The stream
mentioned furnish more than fifty miles
of good logging ways.
80IL AND PKOMi'CTIVENERJ OF THE VAL
LEYS. Wheat is reported as yielding from
40 to 15 bushels to the acre; average
20, barley about the same; oats, an av
erage of 25 bushels; flax the cultiva
tion 'of which is increasing, an average
of 12 bushels. But little attention is
paid to corn and rye. Potatoes, Irish
and sweet, are both cultivated, the for
mer with rousing yields of best quality,
the latter showing fair returns. , Straw
lx'iries, blackberries, raspberries; cur
rants and gooseberries aro wonderfully
prolific and of the beM quality. Ap
ples, pears, cherries, apricot seem to
consider this section their natural
home.
The assessment roll shows that 2,300
acres is the largest single land holding.
There are in Lane county a number of
tracts ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 acres
listed to private owners, many undi
vided donation claims (G40 acres), and
nowhere, so far as I Could learn, any
tracts of less than 160 acres. This
seems to 1' a fixed and inevitable rule
in the Willamette Valley. From tfie
best information I call gain, $40 er
acre may be stated as the upshot price
of the best improved lands in this coun
ty, ranging from this flown to $4 per
acres. The average price is placed at
$12. Unimproved lands, including the
railroad reserves, range from $1 25 to
$2 50 per acre. About one hundred
pre-emptions and homestead claims have
been filed in the county during the past
twelve month.
From the best information I can ob
tain but littl strictly speaking agricul
tural land is open to liomeistead or pre
emption. In 1876 only seventy town
ships, or less than one halfof the super
ficial area of the county, 1 ad be n sur
veyed. The anaorveyed portion is tim-
bered land chiefly fcilly arid mountain
ous. In this portion must bo included
the Coast region, where there are still
bpportunities to procure fertile homes
in a region unsurpassed for Is-auty,
healthfulness and natural advantages.

El'UENE CITY AND 1T3 UNIVERSITY.
Eugene and its surroundings are
very lovely in their vernal dress and
residents say that when tho season of
painted leaves comes, their rock ma
ples, ash, cottonwood and willow groves
make beautiful pictures. Nestled in a
hollow, surrounded by all embracing
hills with Spencer Butte nearly two
thousand feet, dominating the southern
outlook with the Coast and Cascade
Ranges, stretching far away in rounded
outlii.es and beautiful undulations
robed with azure" in tho receding dis
tance, I know of no more attractive
scene. A pa,t,"'l 4uu,t hroods over
the whole realm, 'which is a beautiful
and this is saying a great deal, as the
San Gabriel Valley seen from the foot
hills on its eastern border in early
spring. Jiany oi i no streets are uoi-
dered on each side with the Oregon
maple. This maple forms one ot the
loveliest shade trees imaginable. A good
quality of mnplo sugar nnd syrup is
made from the sap of this tree. I do
not know how this mnplo will flourish
in the warm and dry portions of Cali
fornia away from water, but wherever
it can get water it will soon make
itself a favorite with those who desire
rapid growth, tol shade and beautiful
forma
A notable feature of this pleasant
town is its public school house, erected
at a cost of $12,000. The various
trades and professions are are well rep
resented; the municipal regulations are
strict; the churches are numerous the
Episcopal, Methodist, Baptist, Presby
terian, Cumberland Presbyterian and
Christian denominations being among
those having jiennanent pluces of wor
ship. Eugene City is the. University
town of this state. The location is a
good one, lMUiij accessible by rail from
all portions of the state. The citizens
of Lane county purchased a tract of 18
acres here, erected a $50,000 building
upon it and gave it to the State in or
der to secure the University. The
building itself has a beautiful locution
and from it windows commands in
every direction a far reaching vuta of
hill and valley. After the building
was accepted by the state Legisla
ture appropriated the sum U $20,000
to complete and furnish it and provide
