LAW,
at
A haatsome Compliment.
The Editor of the Portland. Chris-
tian Adwcufc has lately paid the
North Yamhill reigon a visit in
the prosecution of his Pastoral duties,
and on hi« retam thus speaks of
that
beautiful
section
of
Country, through his paper ; 5 ;
“ Leaviog tho fir brush and fern all
behind, we found a rich, undulating
and beautiful prairie, The farms are
large and well improved, The crops
of wheat; grass and oats «re -growing
finley, and there are unmistakable evi
dences oft enterprise and thrift on eve
ry hand. The fencing is most excellent,
the orchards large and flourishing, the
barns capacious with something in
them, the .cattle, horses, sheep and
hogs numerous and of superior quality.
The only objection of a serious char
acter; that we can offer, is the farms
are too large. Men own too much of
mother earth. And though well fen
ced and pretty well worked, yet it ia-a
miBiortuoe to bavOtoo much.
B., P. and 8., whom we visited, own
respectively about one thousand, twelve
hundred, and two thousand acres of
most valuable lands j - Fur grain and
stock-growing we have neen but little
to equal and nothing to surpass North
Yambill any where on the Pacific
coast."--
We will merely add our testimony
to the superior merits of that portion
of our County, by saying tbat the
Courier is by far better sustained in
North Yamhill Precinct, than it is in
any other precinct in the County, save
Lafayette and Dayton. This of-itself
is an unmistakable index to the enter
prise of a people anywhere.
