Richest Sections of the State. PORTLAND, Feb. 12. (To the I Editor of tho Telegram.) Few peo- plo understand climatic and other j conditions embraced within tho 9G, .000 square miles of tho Oregon coun : try. No need to seek Greenland's j icy mountains or India's coral strand in search of climatic variants. I Down in that neck-o-woods known j as Curry county, In tho extreme j southwestern part of the state, there exist ideal conditions for tho student ' of naturo and for easy, comfortable j lives, Going there when wintry con I dltlons arc at their worst one may better determine by comparison what i that region holds for tho prospective homeseeker. Leaving Portland on I January 3, via tho Southern Pacific Railway, we arrived at Drain, took the stage for Scottsburg, 36 miles, thence by boat down tho Umpqua 20 miles to Gardiner; thence by boat on down to tho mouth of tho river, nlno miles; thonco by stage along the weather beach 20 miles to Coos Bay; by gasollno launch soven miles to Marshfleld; by rail 20 miles to Co qulllo; to Bandon 28 miles by boat, at tho mouth of tho Coqulllo; by stage 1G miles to Langlois; to Port Orford by stage 16 miles; from Gold Beach, opposite Wedderburn, to Pis tol River by stage 13 miles; from Pis tol River to Harbor, at the mouth of the Chetco River, 25 miles; Harbor to Smith's River, Cal., 14 miles; to Crescent City, Cal., 14 miles, and from Crescent City, Cal., to Grants Pass, via Waldo by stage, thence home by rail, formed a very interest ing itinerary, although at the expense of some slight physical inconvenienco and comfort. Even at this season one sees much to Interest oneself of broken coast In tho evidences of the great convulsions of nature at the edge of the western fold of the con tinent, of the Incessant rage and roar of tho restless sea against titanic reefs, of flowers in perpetual bloom, of magnificent timber and of a peace ful and contented people. Great plants of calla lilies, many varieties of roses, Immense fuchia plants al most trees acacias, myrtle, English violets, marigolds and geraniums all in full bloom out in tho open, greet the eye everywhere. Game in abund ance in season, trout and sea fish and wild fowl mako this an ideal region for tho enthusiastic sportsman. For general farming, however, It presents limited attractions. Tho western abutments of tho Coast Range crowd close in to tho sea, generally speak ing, and, with the exception of some very choice but limited areas of rich alluvial and sedimentary bottoms, where overflowing streams debouch Into tho sea, the broken and some what rugged nature of tho adjacent hills offer littlo inducement for farm ing. Sheep thrive well on these hills, however, aud while few havo any knowledge of it, tho entire coast from Coos Bay south to Checto is one vast 1 hing V4 4f. t ! CORNER" One OREBON PARAQISE iop range on the mils making back I frnr lltn const. Tho statement la mad0 on presumably good authority that probably 500,000 sheep are now ranging In this region. Anything indigonousto tho soil ot this latltudo can bo growii in tho most luxuriant abundance along tho bottom lands of this part of tho Coast. Its productiveness is un equalled. This land Is held at from $100 to $200 an acre, however, which is far beyond its actual value without or even with railway communication. Tho precipitation is abnormal, al though almost torrential downpoura at intervals admit of a greater num ber of pleasant, bright days than where the rainfall is distributed over a greater interval of time. Tho de mands of social conventionalities aro. not great down there and one need not mako more than ordinary prepar ations for tho dances and other inter esting functions other than to dis card gum boot3, which aro inconvenl ent'for terpsichorean occasions. One occasion of the kind that came under my notice was attonded by soma scoro of Indies and gentleman. 'i latter of whom were expected and did furnish the sodutivo fluid Nar ry is a dry county you know) that limbers the legs (and timbers tho brain). There was enough apiipront ly, of the liquid to go around about soven gallons and tho function was supposed to and did continue un til tho supply was exhausted. It be gan Saturday night. The guests danced through Saturday night, all day Sunday, Sunday night, Monday, nnd Monday night, and the next day they all went home. Other products flourish, bloom and fructify in that region besides flowor3 and sheep. A house was pointed out to us on: the banks of a beautiful streatu aa wo passed by which was originally about ten feet square. An ada't'on was born to the family which nec".st tated an addition to tho houso, which, was built out of poles and shu es. Another came and a i.ifher oxtij on made to the houso. Another nnd an other until the domestic hearth con fronted eight sturdy youngsters, i'no domiciliary abode is now 40 feet long and 10 feet wide, and they are iiro paring for another addition. You may compute tho numerical strength of the family by the patchwork on tno house. A vendetta started onco down, in those parts and piomlsod well at ono time until each side "shot mo other up" good naturedly and quito efficiently, when tho foud rested! its case. Tho two sides have Wert watching ench other like two preda tory wolves for years, but no sign ot a fresh outbreak until, perhaps, ,ho whistle of a "smoke wagon" Is heard, when, look out! Passing a very thrifty looking; ilt tlo homo at the side of tho rond, one small boy could bo seen peering r lously out of a window . Tho v '9 driver threw out a letter, when ; I ren of all ages, sizes and shnp'- llt terally swarmed out of tho hoi!" id into tho road for that ono poor c-...a- elated letter.
