Edoeki City, Or., Aug 30, 1380-Spooial I writ yon from tha heart of ' the one green etatcx of this great Union. This is the Emerlamt land. The hill and ' valleys of Oregon are forever gresn. When I tailed up' the Clydo for the first time, leaving Ireland on my rif.ht hand, I wrote home that I had fouud a little fragment ot Oregon floating off the coast of Scotland. Contrast this perpetual green with the dull, old-gold yellow of California, and yon find both very beautiful. The gold brings out tha green, and the green makes the gold still more glorious and aplendid. Here are the continuous woods; Her. rolls the Oregon. And this Emerald land waa then, when Bryant wrote of it, tha remote land the ultima thule as it still is to soma extent. This la tha most remote part of onr conti nent. Oregon may feci a bit hart when we ay this. Rat still it it the troth!' This is the only geographical or no political division of our union tvhivh has' no railroad termin. ous. True, we have a road piercing tha cen ter and ao pasting on over tha great moun tains that divide ul from California the last liuks ! tha great iteel belt of tho states, of which I have' spoken before. Dut Oregon has no direct railroad leading to any plaoa at all, like all oar other state aud territories. And that is why Oregon i especially a good and .i DESIRABLE PLACE TOR BETTLERfl. This young aud strong and healthy state has not been, tramplud oyer lika other .states that are so easily reached. Tha result is Und haa not advanced so far in price as in other plants. Rich and arable lands' ready for the plow are cheaper here to-day than in other place in tha union, except, perhaps, on the rich levels of cane aud cotton bottoms ot Louisaua. i; t ' ; Alb tire mountains bore', unlike in Califor nia, Arizona and New Mexico, are heavily timbered, and all tha valtcy are little emer ald pabehea of prairie. No land, save maybe in the older parts of Illinois, was So entirely prepared for the plow by nature as this Oregon wt froin'tha first Oregon is splintered by the hikrras And she is entirely different in climate and general characteristics as you cau well say. In fact for a whole generation . the crest Willamette (pronounged Willamit) was to all intents and purpose the entire State of Ora tion. . Hut to, tbt east of this' unit valley and gloaming 'river lio tha Oregon Sierras. And to the east ot the long and lofty reach of the Oregnu sierras, with its splendid snow1 piaks all in a row, reaches a vast aud fertile country. Plus Eastern Oregon is not greea at all. It is uot timbered, a rule. It it a high, treeless mid windy world, set apart by itself, and until recently was the Ably home of thai cowboy with itiliumerabl herds. , Rut ot lata it has been found to be as fertile as aliy land in Oregon.' And now these vast barren plains, fenced a by' the sand and sage brush to the cut and the Oregon sierra, on the west, are being converted iuto boundless fields of wheat( like the onle arid plain of California. Of course yon fanoy that all this Und is, and always hat- been, a quiet pastoral land, celebrating peace 'and plenty in it broad corn Held and under it dark aud wonderous fir trees. My friend, Oregon was front, tha first the most WARLtKlt AND rKI.LI0K.HK5T Part ot this coutltfbnt. She conies' honestly by Ifer regard for). Hhetidsn's old military qnsrtcrs. Tha ladiso 'wars of' California were as nothing compared to the war of Oregon, siven the first.' The Oregon Indians were, with few exceptions, tha most terri ble men in battle to ba found amongst all the tribe. They were of a much braver and nobler stvOk than those .'ot California, and died as a rule in the field of tattle.' ; Have 1 nob told you toore how this Or, gon, when-neglected by the United States, met under the-., trees, formed a government) made lawa, declared war, coined hur own morej' out of her own gold, maintained ber army in tha field and pafd' her own men out ot her own money coined by her own black smiths out of gold dug from W own soil! Well, bear it in mind, and do not forget it all, for it is all important and all trur. These gold coin had a sheaf ot wheat on on aide and a beaver on tha other, thu showing the fertility ot tha soil and the industry ot tha people. Tha coin had no alloy of either steel or copper, like the legal coin of tha federal government, and were io worth mora than the legal coins, aud hove.' keen mostly melted ap, but still a few may be found. Of course, Ors-go knew that under" 'the 'consti tution no state could coin money. Cat Ore gon Was sot a State' She wa not even very etontly claimed by tha United State at I territory. Rot ber loyalty, 'at much a any. thing else in meeting under tha tree and de. c'.ariutf herself apart of the .United States, saved ber to tha American people.' And so; with a history behind her, you mutt not blame her for .looking witha bit ot vanity on the old home of Phil Cheridan, for Ore. gon wa bom on a battle field. But my present letter is Irora this spot, Eugen City, where my father settled down nearly forty years ago, and where I have done more hard work with the hand which pen these lines than any other man I kuow of worked lika a man w hile stili a lad Take your map aud trace straight west to the sea from this town. It it a short ride from .Eugene City to the Pacific ocean." But all tht year th route, and tha tea bank a well, ha remained au unknown land: Th reason it th high black mountain that lift up and hang almost over tha sea ara entirely ioaocessibld. '' No horse, 'much leu a vehicle, can cfost tha densely timbered and sombre sea Walls, Yet on little tream haa made )ts way to' the sea here through ft tangled aud impenetrable maasof vine maple, myrtle, cedar, and indeed, all aorta of juu gle, in which the sportive bear likea to make) entirely hi own habitation. Naturally ona would think that the fishermen or the few old seamen drifting up and down the ocean would have found this Oregon seaport are this; and maybe they hsve aHer a fashion. But no one seamed to take any interest ita it before, aud I never heard ot it' till now, although I wat raited right hore almost in the sound ot the breakers' that roll iu and awaken the hush ot tho dohscly wooded shore. I regrst that I have hot yet been able to visit thit new and entirely unknown teapwt at Oregon,' v The climate of Oregon can have iriy hearty endorsement) and ' not entirely because ' I spent si many industrious year here, but partly because this itate ttaud leooud on tha mortality litt pt all states or places on the face ot tha earth And I assert aa au indie, putihle fact that wore it uot tor the low ami vicious life which ha bcon imported and planted alaug the lino ' ot the Ciheries and port and tht mouth of , the great river ami other like placet, the' health of thia itate Would stand the first in tho world and lead the list iu tha low rate of mortality. " And thit, I think, it tayicg about 'all that neod be said about tha climate ot Oregon tha land ot eternal vtnlure and roaring rivV ers. Yes, It does rain here, and, the spor tive Califoruians lung ago '' ' CALLED Va WEUrOOT,H f And fnsisteii that it was a natural neoessil that, we should all in time be webfooted ill order to get about And , every . now and then soma new and aspiring Mark Twain will rise up aud set a paragraph afloat to the effect that some forty or ks babie have been born hit teuton with webfoetin Oregon, Hu so long is w stand at th head, or eveu next to the (toad ot the list lor solid, good health, all these sorry little pleasantries are harmless. I tell you frankly you will have to go far, all the way to Greenland iu fact, to lind such rosy faces as yon find here iu dear, delici.us, emerald Oregon, . Not long ago I wa shown the "Grant house, at an old fort iu California) but here., in Oregon ynu ara shown tba "Sheridan, home, with , much just pride, for here it was that Gon. Sheridan lint won bis spurt in war after loaving, West IJolut, Aud if I remember rightly, I saw , In in still here after the great ojvjl war1 was mt under way. But he disappeared, like a strojjg .and. confident swimmer plunging into tho troublnd waves; only to resppear lusty and full ot lit ami, action on the other shore. And from that date forward, as all know, he ha been si oonspictout figure in history. But hi old quarters nere iu uregou are nciu in grea reverence. . ... V. F.
