scarcely any branches for the Drst 100 feet,

brief, but correct description of the extent

'The forests of Oregon, which stretch,
without much Interruption, through wldlb
or forty or llfly miles bordering on tho
Toast, consist chiefly of evergrcur. Or.
snrucc, pitch pine, cedar and hemlock. Ma
pie, aider, ash, myrtle, and a few other va.
rletlcs or declduoua trees occur along the
bottoms adjacent tho liters, Ac. While pine
and oalt occur in the interior 5 110 walnut or
chestnut are found I1UI10 Territory."
"Thcsif forests extend, with a character
somewhat varied by tho broken aspect of
the serrated surface, through tho coast rango
or syttem of mountains; beyond which tor
a space varying Irora 3u to Ou miles In width,
to the cascade range, and extending north
and south through the hole territory about
230 mils, exist wlda spread prairies, ver
dant hills and vales, faultless lawns, divided
occasionally by rugged mountain chains;
and Interspersed, hero and there, with 'copse,
dlnglo and glen.' "
