The proprietor of a lumber mill in nlarinosa county has exam- ined carefully a tract of one thousand acres of this pine, 'where the trees ranee from three to twelve teet in diameter, and generally rise from one hundred to one hundred and twenty-five feet to the first limb. A belt of this timber extends at least three hundred miles parallel to the coast no part of it above or below u certain altitude. The remoteness of these forests renders their use im practicable at present, but the trees are reserved for the wants of future generations.

( To be continued ) GANGJ?JLOWS. As the age in which wc live demands j)rofrcss in Farming Implements as well as in all other branches of indus try, we have determined to enter exten siveltf tipoii the manufacture of the celebrated FFeil Gang -Plow! Better known in Oregon as the WOL GA MO T PL 0 W, Th is Plow com . bines all the desirable point of a per fect implement, being simple in con st ruction, cheap, durable, and of light, draft. The only Premiums which icere awarded io Gang Plows at the great Implement trial at Malloon, Sept. 4, lSb'G. by the Slule Agricultural $oci ctij of Illinois, were awarded to this Plow. The following is an extract from the Report of the Commissioner of Agriculture, for the year 1S0G, and may be found on page 21G of that re port : "The Gang Plow made by J. C. Pfeil, Arenzville, Cass county Illinois, is received with no little favor in the west. Almost in credible stories arc told of its excellence and efficiency in plowing the prairie fields of Illinois and other States. " The depth of the furrow is regulated by the crank-axle, which is so arranged that the ploughs can be driven deeper or shal lower at ihe pleasure of the driver, when the team is moving.by menus of the lever. Wa also manufacture sulkey plows for small boys, or infirm persons who are unable o manage a team of three or four horses. 1'S gang or sulkey plow, will cut a fur row from ? to 10 inches ce:p., The coti-.'ttee who tested the draught of this plow with a dynamometer state, that it ran lighter by 140 poni:'5s,than other l.lows when l imning at the sam .Hepth, and held by the plowman while ou foot.'' 35- With (his Plow one man can do more tcork than two men can do tC'lh walking Plows, and the same amount of team. Hence, it will be. seen that it will more than pay for itself in one season's plowing. t$?In addition to the above, John IF. lewis will also manvfacturc the WEB-FOOT GANG PLOW!

ESSf 2fow, the Partners of Oregon are invited to give the Oregon City Manufactory a trial.
