The valley is composed mainly of level or (lightly rolling, fertile prairie, bordered next to the mountain's with low foot hill", covered with ram an! sent teriug oak, pine, fir, maple, Uor au:l other varieties of timber. Each rivi r and r.rerk flowing thrnucli the vttllry is fr!ngnl with a tarrow atrip of tiniW, consisting of fir, hiaple, balm, aeh, aider, cidar, cts. The BiouuUiii raiic on tliu sotilli, west and east are heavily timbered with forests of rir, pine, fcedar. hemlock, sprnro and other varieties of giant growth. Beaidea the valley land, which never full to produce abundant crop of wheat, cats, barley, rye and other cereal, M well M vegetable and fruit of nearly every variety, there is a good deal of aplen did farming land along the riven and smaller Water ours ci in the mountains, ami in the loot hill are ninny tliunaauds of acre of Valuable land bvlungini tn the government or the railroad. The scenery, viewed from almost any point in the valley, ia grand And lieantiful. On the east, is een the blu range of Caacado mountaina, with their enow covered summits loomum up in Die instance iniummcrand winter alike; on the south, the Calapooy mountain", their foot liilla covered with oak and tlioir aumniita with evergreen; and on the west the heavily tim bered Coaat mountains. The valley ia green with verduro duiiug the winter, wiiile the mountains art covered with now almoat to their base. Lane county baa an area of 2,500,000 acres, of which about one fourth ia level prairie and three-fourths timber and mouutaiu land. About 1,500,1X10 acres are surveyed, and 1,000,000 acres, in the timber and mountaina, are unaiirvcyed. Only 370, 000 acres are now settled by a population of 12,000 or 1.1,000. Land can bo purchased in the bills and in the littlo valleys in the mountains at $1 ."") to $2. T0 and t") per acre, end choice inwovtrt fnrimng land in the 'uiey at ten, twenty, thirty and, mar town, at forty and fifty dollars per acre, according to location and the value, of improvements. The oportuiiitirs for farming, stock rait ing, lmnboring and manufacturing are great. Ten times tho present population would not settle the couuty as thickly as many pnrta of the country along tho Atlantic const and in the Mississippi valley, Splendid water power fur manufacturing exists along ncttly nil the streams. The gross valuation of property in 1882 was .",g.1J,9S4. In addi tion to the staplo crops of wheat, oat), po tatoes, vegetables, etc., of which the yield is targe every year, Lane county produced and old, in 1882 about $100,000 worth of Imps.

Ho soon an tho nominations were cloned wo were given a rest and heard nothing ,tuore of hm illness, but we read of him as leading attorney in numerous import ant lawsuits, when ho seemed in the full possesion of a vigorous intellect. As the time for nominations is op proaching tho old stories of his enfee bled health ore being relmthed by the Republican press. A New York spec ial to the Chicago pipers is made to say that "he (Tilden) cannot lift either hand to his mouth, Loth arms being paralyzed. He lias to be fed and his food literally shoved into him. hen he goes out lie has to be supported by two attendants. Ho is liable to fall down dead at any lime. Is it because their sins are cqunl to that of Delshnzzar (hut they are made to qnufoi beforo the old man, or ia . it remorse for defrauding h'un out of his right to the oilke to which the people had elected hinit Re it as it may, their doom is equally as certain and emphatic ns th.i handwriting on the wall.
