The ratine Northwest
We lalco the following descriptive
arliclo of the W illomctte Vanr-r, from
a corresponJnnco in the Springfield Re
publican of a recent issue:
Walla WalIa, W. T., i
Novemlicr f3, 1882. f
The two great natural sources of
wealth upon which the civilization and
prosperous development of the Tacific
Northwest are to be based are its rich
agricultural lands and its vast forests
full of valuable timber. The open
country that lies between the mountain
ranges, and naturally first attracts set
tiers, varies widely in degree of fertil
ity. Tlio best of it is bolieved to equal
in productiveness any agricultural land
On tlio continent and tho great body of
it is susceptible of profitable cultiva
tion. It is peculiarly adapted, from
the nature of its constituents, to wheat
growing, and thai is now and will be
for years to come, if not always, the
leading industry of the country. The
forests cover the mountains and in
parts of the country, particularly in
central and western Washington, sweep
down to and over the lower lands in
denso masses. The Cascade Moun
tains, a prolongation of tho Sierra Ne
vada chain of Colifornia, extend north
through Oregon and Washington at an
average distance of 110 miles frem the
ocean, cutting the country into two
grand divisions, which are in most ro
specta totally unlike. The Columbia
river, flowing south by a winding course
into eastern Washington from itt first
sources m liritli Columbia, turns
sharply to the west, 200 miles below
the boundary line, and rolls on its way
in uiajestio power toward the Pacific,
cleaving the Cascade range in twain
and forming tho boundary between
Washington and Oregon. Thoro are
thus two great natural divisional lines
through tlio country, crossing each rjthcr
at right angle
On tho western side of the Cascade
mountains the valley of the Willamette
river in Oregon is the mcst Inviting
agricultural section and was tlio. first
part of the country to be popdlatod.
It is sometimes called the Eden of Ore
gon, so generously does it yield increase
to the husbandman and so beautiful are
its natural features. It is about 125
miles in length, Portland lying at its
northern end and Eugene- City at its
southern, and has an average width of
40 miles. The roast ran go of moun
tains separates it from tho sea, bdt its
climate is influenced by the soft; damp
west winds that blow from the ocean
and the warm currents' of tho Pacific
that sweep up against this northwest
coast, The winter is a prolonged rainy
season, during which the average and
pretty even toinperrtture is alout 48
degrees. The summers are compara
tively dry, but cool. The nights, even
in mid summer, would lie called cold
v si
in Massachusetts, and the averago sum
mer toinperaturo does not exceed 67
degrees. The valley is well watered
by a great number of tributary streams,
which ilow into the Willamette from
the Cascade mountains on the east and
the coast range on tho west Tlie
character of the country is remarkable.
Much of the land, especially on the
lower levels, is prairie, but the prairies
are intersected or separated one from
another, by wide timber belts and the
foot hills of both mountain ranges are
genersHy wooded. Tho pfairics make
the most beautiful and (ertilo farms
imaginable and the timW lands where
over stripped of their trees and planted
are found most equally productive.
Tho toil is a dark, deep loam contain
ing a large amount of vegetable mold
and resting on a clay sub-soil. In the
liottoui-lands near the streams there
are rich deposits of alluvium. All the
cereals are rtist-d in the valley with the
exception of Indian corn, for -which
the summer nights are too cold. Wheat
develops to perfection, and tho berry of
the Willamette valley wheat is widely
famous for its full, plamp form, and
produces flour of exceeding whiteness,
which is highly rated in the Liverpool
market The teed is commonly plant
ed in the fall and the yield per acre
rangf from 20 to 30 bushels, with air
occasional harvest running tfp to 40.
There are farms in tlie vnlli-y where
wheat has lnn rai.il on the same
land continuously fct 40 yeiir's without
$2.50 per year IN ADVANCE
1 Jl LJL
the least bit of fertilization, whicK are
still producing 20 bushels to the acre.
Hop-growing Is an important interest
and has been very profitable this sea
son. Most of tho fruits and vegetables
aro raised with marked success, though
the more delicate varieties do better
oast of the mountains. Apples, prunes,
plums and cherries attain a rare degree
of perfection, but grapes and poachej
are raised only with careful attention; .
As the Willamette valley has now;
been settled for over 40 years, and, so
far as population was; concerned, has
constituted about all there was of Ore?
gon until recently, the prairie lands are
practically all taken up, and the farms
aro held frem 820 up to $100 per acre!
There aro still, however, considerable
tracts of tinlbor land, tho property of
the Oregon and California railroad com
pany, which aro olTored at low rates,
and will make excellent farms when
cleared. The consumption of wood in
the country is now so large that it
would seem as if the trees roust of
themselves more than pay the cost of
clearing. The business of farming is
so comparatively easy in the valley that
the farmers drift into careless and
wasteful methods and lose a largo pro
portion of the revenue that they might
otherwiso save. Indeed, they exhibit
a surprising lack of that valuable New
England virtue, thrift. Scattered along
the river between Portland and Eu
gene are frequont prosperous towns and
villages, of which, the most important
aro Oregon City and Suluni, Tho lat
ter is the capital of tho State and is a
place of 4000 or 5000 population, slow
and sUatljf, but rich as ah agricultural
center should be and well furnished
with good public buildings, including i
handsome state-house, Oregoti City ii
locdtod by a fall in the Willamette
river, enjoys therefore an excollont nat
ural water-power, and is the chief man
ufacturing center of the State, besides
being the oldest town in the country;
Its interests are mainly flour and woolen
goods.
SoUth of the Willamotto valley and
west of the mountains are two other
principal valleys, ti c ifmpqua and the
Rogue, whose riven, f 'd by numberless"
tributaries, flow v. ri through the
coast iimuntainH tho Pacific, Al
though not so renin. My fertile as the
Willamette valley, t! j t intain much
excellent a;r' Cultural kii-l and are yet
but spiirw lied. H ii thought by ,
those fin i' :,'.i (!. ountry that
these sou.. y4 aro to bocome
largely clown..! to tlio culture of the
grape, to which their climate is better
adapted than that of the northern coun
ties of tho State.
Imporl iJuiici
It looks as though we were on the
eve of important reductions iif import
duties, says tho San Franciscd journal
of Commerce, at least such is the gen
eral public sentiment on the matter;
The increase of the free1 list and the
abolition of duplex drities seems to be
what is most stronuously demanded.
Of course until some definite plan is
laid liefore Congress there can be but
little coranfent. A reduction of taxa
tion is on all hands allowed to be de
sirable; but the change should le ap-'
plied only where it cannot injure an
home industry. It is true that many
of the corporations of the East have,
by their sdfithness and oppression of
labcr and their monopoly, disgusted tho'
people, but no blow should bo dealt in'
mere anger. When there aro duties
on raw material and manufactured art
icles, both can be reduced without in
jury to any interest or the duty on
the raw material can be ataolutely
abolished. In many cases it is desir
able to admit raw material duty free.
Some of the great cotton, iron and steel
mills of the East need to be reminded .
that they must deal equitably with their
employes and with the public, or the
pruning knife will take their direction. .
The proposed abolition of the duty,
on sugar and the granting a bounty t6
home growers is a step in the right di
rection. It will save the people at
least forty million dollars a year and
do away with the howl that has been
raised against the Hawaiian treaty on
this coast, as it will not then have a
leg left to stand on.
The railroad from Sumner to Coquillo
City will be surveyed in a week or two,
And if the riehts of way can b se-
j cured peaceably, work will be cbm
' menced early in the spring."
