AnJ this Euiarald land Wat then,
when Bryant wrote of it, the remote
land tha ultima thula as it still is
to soma extent. This is the most re
mote part of our contitirut. Oregon
nay feel a hit hurt when we say this.
But still it is lhe truth. This is tlv
only geographical or nu political divis

railroad termiuous. True, e have a
road piercing the center and so passing
on over the great mountains that di
vide uajroui California the last links
in the great steel belt of the state.",
of which I have spoken bpfgre. But
Oregon has no direct railioad leading
o any place at all, like all our other
Ma teg and terriuriis. And that is
uhv Oregon is especially a good and

The result is 'land has not advanced

Rich and arable lands ready for the

anv other place in the union, except,
perhaps, oil the rich levels of caueand
cotton lioitonirioftouisana.
All the mountains here, unlike in
California, Aiizona, and New Mex
ico, are lieaily timbered, at-d all the

Oregon was lrom the. Oregon is
SPLIT INT i BY TnE SIERRAS.
And she is entirely different in cli
mate and general characteristics, as
)Oit can well say. Iu fact for a whole
generation the great Willamette (p ro
llout. ced Wil laui ii) was to all intents
Mid purpose the tuiira state of Ore
gon. But to the east of this noble
valley and gleaming river lies the Ore
con Siarras. And to tht east of the
long and lofty reach of the Oregon
siurrus, with its tplendid snow peaks
all iu a row, reaches a vast and fertile
country. Thia Eastern Oreguii is not
green at all. It is not timbered, as a
u!h. It is high, treelrss aud wind)
worid, set ap,trt by itself, and until
eceiitly was tliu onlv home of the
cowboys with iiiuumoiuble herds. But
of late it has been found to be as fertile
as any land iu Oregon. And now
these vast barren plains, fenced in by
the sand and sage brush to the east
and the Oregon aiarras on the west,
are being converted into boundless
Seids oE wheat, like the one arid plains
of California.
Of course you'. fancy that all this
land is, and ha alWavs been, a quite
pastoral land, celebrating peace aud
plenty iu its broad xorn fields and un
der its dark and woiiderous fir trees.
My friend, Oregon was from the first
the most
WARLIKE AND BELLIGERENT
Part of thia coutuirnt. She comes
honestly by her regnrd for Sheridan's
old military quarters. The Indian
wars of California were as nothing com
pired to the wars of Oregon, even
the first. The Orsgnn Indiins were,
with a few exception, the most ter
rible men in battle to be found
amongst all the tribsi. They were of
a much braver and nobler stock than
those of California, and died as a rule
in the field of battle.
Have I not told you before ho
-this Oregon, when neglected by the
United States, met nnder the trees,
formed a government, made laws, del
dared war, coined her own monry
out of her own gold, main
tained her army in the field and
paid her own men out of her own
money coined by her own blacksmith,
out of gold dug from her owa toil!
Well, bear it in mind, and do not for
get it all. for it is all important and
all trus. These gold coins had a sheaf
of-wheat on onejsida and a beaver on
the other.Jthui showing the fertility
, of the scil and the industy of the peo
pie. The coins had no al'oy of either
steel or copper, like the legal coins of
the federal government, and so were
worth more than the legal coins, and
have been mostly melted up, but still
a fbw may be found. Of course, Ore--co-lraBwharmlpr"tbe"conalltunoh
no' stats could coiu"nioney. But Ore
gon was not a slate. She was not
evenvery stoutly claimed byUhe Uni
ted states as a territory. But her
loyalty, as much as anything else, in
raeetiug under the trees aud declaring
herself a part of the United States,
saved to the American people. And
so, with su.h a history behind her,
you must not blame her for her look
ing with a bit of vani y on the old
home of Phil Sheridan, for Oregon
was born on a battle field.
But my present letter is from this
spot, Eugene City, where my father
settlsd down nearly forty yearn ago,
and where I have done more hard work
with the band pens these lines than any
other man I know of worked like a
man while still a lad'
Take your map and trace stright
west to the sea from this town. It is a
Khort ride from Eugene City to the
Pacific ocean. But all these years the
route, and the sea bank aswell, has re
mained in unknown land. The rea
son is the high black mountains that
lift hp and hang almost over the seu
are entirely inuccessible. No horse,
much less a vehicle, can cross the dense
ly timbered and sombre sea wall.
Yet one little stream has made its way
io the sea hre through a tangled and
inpenetrable mass of vine, inapl.
g apevines, myrtle, cedar, aud indeed,
ull sorts of jungle, in which the sport
ive bear likes to make entirely his own
habitation. Naturally Kie would
think that the fisherman oi the few
nd teamen driftiug up and down the
ocean would have found this Oregon
seaport era this; und uiiybe they -have
a.ter a fashion. But no one seemed to
tike any interest in it bhfore, and I
never heard of it till now, although I
was raised right here almost in the
sound of the breakers thai roll in aud
awaken the huh of the deusely wood
ed shore. I regret that I have not yet
been able to vi.it this new and eutirely
unknown seaport of Oregon.
The climate of Oregon can have my
hearty endursement; and not entirely
because I spent so many industrious
)-ars here, but partly because this
state stands second on the mortality
list of all states or places on the face
of the earth. And I assert as an ir.dis
putible fact that were it not for the
low an vicious life which has been
imported and planted along the line of
the fisheries and ports and the inoutb
of the great river and other like places,
the hialth of this state would stand
ttio first iu the worlJ and lead the liat
iu tho low rate of mortality.
And thii-, I think, is savin; about
all that need be said about the climate
of Oregon the land of eternal verdure
and roaring rivers. Yes, it does rain
here, aud the sportive Californians
long ago
CALLED US "'WEBFCOT,"
And .insisted that it was a natural
necessity that we should all in time be
webfooted in order to get about. And
every now and than souu new and as
piring Mirk Twain will rise up and
set a paragraph afloat to the effect
that some forty or less babies have been
born this season with webbed-feet in
Oregon. But so long as we stand at
the head, or even next to lhe head of
the list for solid good health, all these
sorry little peasantries are quite
harmless. I tell you frankly you will
have to go far, all the way to Green
land in fact, to find such rosy Lures as
you find here in dear, delicious, emer
ald Oregon.
Not long ago I was shown the
"Grant house," at an old fort it) Cali
fornia; but here in Oregon you are
shown the "Sheridan house," with
much just pride, for here it was that
Gen. Sheridan first won his Bpun in
war after leaving West Point. And
if I remember rightly, I saw him still
here after the great civil war was well
under way. But he disappeared, like
a strong and confident swimmer plung
ing into the troubled waves, only to
reappear lusty and full of life and ac
tion on tha othtr shore. And from
that date forward, as all know, he has
been a conspicuous figure in hlstcrv.
But hia old quarters here in Oregon
are held in great reverence.

asks: "Do you know of any place

"Tbt depends on what you call a
good living, S. Q G. If your stomach
wouid not revolt at plain fare, such as
poor people use, come up and stop at
our house a while. We don't live very
high, but we aim to eke out an exist
ence, as it were. Come and abide with
us, S. Q. G. Here is where the
Prince of Wales comes when he gets
wery of being apparant to the throne.
Here is where Al cotnes when he has
stood a long tiuie, first on one leg and

in twen'y minutes than a man" gener
ally lives all his whole life socked up
against a hard throne with the eagle
eye of a warning consistency on him.
It's a good place to come, S. Q. G.
Quiet but not restful; full of balm for
the wounded spirit and close up to na
ture's great North American heart.
That's the idea. Perhaps I do not size
you up accurately, S. Q. G. Yuu may
be a man who does not pnut for the
sylvan shade. Very likely you are a
seaside resortist and do not care for
pauts but I simply say to you that if you
are a worthy young man weary with
life's great battles beaten back, per
haps, aud wounded with your neck
knocked crooked like a torn-tit lhat

night, come up here into northern
Wisconsin, where the butternut gleams
in autumn sunshine and the ax-helie
has her home. Come where the sky
sky is a dark and glorious blue and ll e
town a magnificieut red. Come where
the coral cranberry nes'les iu tbe green
heat of the yielding marsh, and the
sand-hill crane stands idly on the
sedgy brim of the lonely lake through
all the long, idle day, with his bands
in the tail ockel of his tan-colored
coat, trying to remember what he did
with his handkerchief.
Come up here S. Q. G , and be ray
amanuensis. I want a man to go with
me on a little private excursion from
the Dalles of tbe St. Croix to the Sault
Sle Marie. I want him to go with me
and act as my private secretary and
carry mj canoe for me. Tbe salary
would be 8mtll the first vear, but you
would have a good deal of fun. Most
any one can have fun with me. We
would go mostly for relaxation aud to
build up, but it would be a pleasure t0
mo to watch you build yours up.
What I nead is a private secretary to
go with. me and takedown litle thtnk-
lets 'hat I may have thought. You
would have nothing to carry but the
canoe, a small tent, my gun, and a type

Deer Slaughtering. A gentleman
who has just returned from a huntiog
excursion In Southern Oregon, says(the
busines of killing deer for their skins
is still carried on there as extensively
as ever. The settlers in lhat section are
becoming disgusted with the business
but cannot do much to prevent it.
Some are afraid of having their cattle
shot if they make complaint, and
others say: "We have dune the same
thing oursphes," and have no right to
complain ofjothers. In every direction
in Coos, Curry and Jackton counties
thecampsof tliskiu huntees are
found, and around them are the car
casses nf deer rotting on the ground.
Two hunters will start out wilh a pack
horse each loaned with provisions for
two wetks, and at tho end of that time
return with their horses laden with a
hundred to a hundred and fifty deer
skins. For these they get about 50
cents each. One of the worst features
of this businpssiR that the skins are
thinner and better adapted for fine
buckskin in summer time than after the
winter coat of hair has come out and
the hide thickened, hundreds of does
are shot hofore their fawns arfyifficr .
ently grown lo take care of themselves.
There should be something done at the
next legislature to put a slop to this
slaughtering of deer. Some effective
law should be passed forbidding it.
and a commissioner or other official ap
pointed to look after the matter. Let
every member nf the legislature make
a note of this. fOresonian.
Tns First W,ddg We like
the short courtships, and in this Adam
acted like a sensible man he fell
asleep a bachelor, and awoke to 5nd
himse'f a married man. He appears
to have popped the question almost
immediately after meeting Miss Eve.
and she without flirtation or shyness,
gave him a kiss and herself. Of that
first kiss in the world we have had our
own thoughts, however, and sometimes
in. a political mood wished we were the
the man that did it. But the deed is
done, the chauce was Adam'a and he
improved it. We like the notion of
getting married in a garden. Adam's
was private. No envious aunts and
grunting grandmothers. ' The 'birds
of the Leavens were the minstrels, and
the glad skies fluns its licht on tlm
scene. One thing about the first wed
ding brings queer things to us in spite
of ita scriptural truth. Adam and
his wife were rather young to marry
some two or three days old, according
to the sagest elder; without exper
ience. Without a house, a pot, or
kettle; nothing but love aud Eden.
